FFXI was kind of interesting when it came to aggro. Mobs would have aggro/link triggers like sight, sound, low HP for undead, casting magic for elementals, etc. But after aggro they would have a tracking trigger which often could be different than the aggro trigger. The most noticeable instances of this was with monsters that tracked by smell as they'd de aggro when you ran through a body of water.
