    Codex or Riot!

    This is the biggest thing I have wanted since I started really getting into FFXIV: A Lore Codex.

    EDIT (11/14/14): I asked a question about this for the Live Letter! Please upvote it here so we can get a response: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post2580445

    Essentially, when players complete certain quests, reach certain areas, interact with certain NPCs, or encounter certain monsters, a Codex pops up in direct relation to the unlocked condition.

    In essence, the Codex would contain the following categories:

    Tutorial: (All of the tutorial articles would move from its own space into the Codex)
    -Movement
    -Combat
    -Crafting
    -Gathering
    -Free Company
    -Grand Company
    -Housing
    -PVP
    -Etc
    The Story Thus Far: (All of the story-based lore. History, current events, etc. as it affects the current events unfolding)
    -The History of Eorzea (Pre-1.0 History)
    -The Sixth Astral Era (1.X Storyline)
    -The Seventh Umbral Era (2.0 Storyline)
    -The Seventh Astral Era (2.1+ Storyline)
    -The Dragonsong War (Ishgardian History and 3.0 Storyline)
    -The Trials of the Zodiac Braves (Relic Weapon Questline)
    -The Legend of the Soul Crystals (Class/Job Quests)
    -The Legend of Hildebrand (Hildebrand Quests)
    Places: (Story about specific areas and landmarks)
    -Thanalan (Places in Thanalan)
    -La Noscea (Places in La Noscea)
    -The Black Shroud (Places in The Black Shroud)
    -Coerthas (Places in Coerthas)
    -Mor Dhona (Places in Mor Dhona)
    -Elsewhere (Places inaccessible to players, at least by normal means.)
    -Etc
    People: (Stories about the people of Eorzea)
    -The Scions of the Seventh Dawn (Members of the Scions)
    -The Ascians (Members of the Ascians)
    -Ul'dahn (Citizens of Ul'dah)
    -Lominsan (Citizens of Limsa Lominsa)
    -Gridanian (Citizens of Gridania)
    -Ishgardian (Citizens of Ishgard)
    -Garlean (Citizens of Garlemald)
    -Doman (Citizens of Doma)
    -Other Important Figures
    -Etc
    Bestiary: (Summaries of enemies challenged in Eorzea, with minor gameplay information like HP, Abilities, Dropped Items, and a brief segment of lore)
    -Humankin (Enemies from one the Five Races)
    -Beastkin (Mammalian enemies like squirrels or bears)
    -Plantkin (Plantlike enemies like Ochus and Mandragora)
    -Dragonkin (Dragonic enemies like Wyverns and Drakes)
    -Earthkin (Stone enemies like Golems)
    -Feykin (Spirit enemies like Elemental Sprites)
    -Fellkin (Demon enemies like Succubi or Gargoyles)
    -Legendary Beasts (Boss-Level enemies)
    -Etc
    Items: (Story behind various items found throughout Eorzea)
    -Weapons
    -Armor
    -Potions
    -Food
    -Materials
    -Etc
    I really want to read all about Eorzea. Everything that we should know about as adventurers, we as players should have access to.
