Bestiary anyone?

I don't support the idea of having a separate app outside of the game for this, they should be able to make it right there in game like the Fishing thingy. Also physical hand book is a very bad idea in any MMO type games. Why? Because any patch could render the information obsolete very fast. Just make it a window somewhere in the menues where when it is opened up you get all the info + lore tidbits, hell you could even make it so that you dont get the lore until you kill a certain amount of them like some other games do.

That would be cool. Filling in the Beastiary is a fun side activity in some of the other FF games. They could give basic game info about them after you've killed one, and then add the lore to the description after you've killed several more.

It would rely on the game actually having those statistics, though. If they give it to us, I suspect we'd all start out with an empty Beastiary when the feature is first released, and there are bound to be people who would grumble if it doesn't include their kills from before that data was tracked. (I wouldn't mind starting the Beastiary log from scratch myself, but I'm sure there are other people who would.)
