[Suggestion] Monster Bestiary

[i_love_lamps]

I think this is an utterly brilliant idea. Warhammer online had its tome, which gave you things to find out, information about monsters, areas, lore; heck even equipment. It would be a great way of immersing yourself in the game.

Bestiary yesplease, several Final Fantasy games had bestiaries in game, with various info.
Lore is a great addition.
The possibilites for how players can aquire the bestiary info in game are endless.

it is indeed a good idea. though i might not like all of it. I am sure that SE would do a great job implementing such a feature, though i do kind of like the info being displayed on the mob still, even if it is only after you learn it.

I'd still love to know if the required changes were made during the battle system revamp or if 2.0 has any bestiary related tid-bits for us.

Any new info about this ^_^".

If the devs take any ideas from us little forum people, it should be this one.

also can't talk about the details but also planning to have something like a monster reference book

Pretty pumped knowing that we will (Hopefully) get a Bestiary in the game, heres hoping that it's chalk full of information lore and data wise.

But who needs confirmation? Let's party!

Being allowed to see the level range/spawning area of each of the monsters you have already beaten could have been a brilliant idea, so as to quickly know where the appropriate spots to level up are, but now it's been more a less explicitly said grinding will be quite useless in 2.0, the idea has lost a bit of its interest...

I thought XIII had an awesome bestiary, where it filled out as your party discovered weaknesses and immunity in battle. Either that or post-battle data gathering would be nice. I also think bestiaries should be shared between players, and there should be achievements for unlocking all varieties of each monster family, as well as finishing the bestiary entirely.
