Beastiary. Raimdell Codex update [W.I.P]

[RhiannonTiamat]

I adore the lore in this game, and love that they included an actual bestiary in the lore. Sadly, it is incomplete, and lacks some entries and overall needs to be updated a bit. This is my attempt at doing so!

In is most definitely a work in progress. I am almost done with the encyclopedia entries, after which, I will move on into actually observing mobs in game and doing that wonderful naturalist thing where I do nothing but stare and take notes.

If you want to help let me know! The layout could probably be made more readable, there are a shit ton of creatures in Eorzea so cataloguing help would be wonderful.

I will be updating this post as I make changes and updates.

As someone who codexed all of the mobs between 1.00 and 2.56 before I could no longer afford the time investment required, I know the struggle you are undertaking in a way most will not, and I wish you the best of luck, lol. For mine, I used a spreadsheet so I could ensure I had everything. My only recommendation is keep your citations archived. Know where everything you said came from, mark assumptions you make as such, mark guesses as such. The Raimdelle Codex is deliberately imperfect. It is incapable of accurately classifying everything in the game, and many things that are officially classified are classified as lies. If 100 naturalists attempted a revamp of the Raimdelle Codex, they would create 112 different versions of the Raimdelle Codex.

This is great! I really appreciate the time it must have taken.

Thank you! I've got the 'basics' down. Probably going to work on an index of the mobs next so I can propose proper classifications
