Monster-in-a-box in ARR

[Recycler]

I'd love to see this concept implemented in ARR (inside of dungeons, caves etc.). This page sums it up pretty nicely:

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Monster-in-a-box
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Mimic_(Enemy)

It really added to my experience while playing other Final Fantasy games; currently, you can mindlessly open a chest. I think it would be nice to have (random) monster encounters. Discuss!

Dont forget it doesnt necessarily have to be a monster "in" a box... sometimes the box IS the monster.

See:
Mimic_(Enemy)

generally speaking, if/when a mimic is defeated, the resulting treasure tends to be above average quality for a chest.

There have been multiple types of mimics in previous titles, like:

Yep, I know of mimics. I just used the "monster-in-a-box" term as thread / concept title.

We certainly could have both Monsters which 'crawl' out of opened chests as well as chests morphing into monsters.

They should definitely add this. It would be great during April Fools' Day to have him pop out of chests at the end of dungeons or after primal battles.
