    We already got a codex in the form of the Unending Codex, though I personally feel it gets added to the game way waaaaaaaaaaaay too late, when I first got it, my reaction was, "Wow this is so cool... why wasn't this added retroactively to ARR?", but an expansion of it into a beastiary would be rad.

    I meant to the scope that is more akin to Witcher 3 (beastiary / codex) or some bioware game's codex, where like.. everything is in there lol. Hundreds upon thousands of lines of text that show up for most general topics. Although you're right we sort of have one, it's just really late and doesn't cover a lot. To be completely fair such a feat at this stage in the game would be extremely intensive and honestly might be easier to do for a new MMO but /shrug, it's a wishlist not a 'be budget friendly and mindful of people's time list'. lol.

    Oh yeah, the Unending Codex is like, a really nice thing that gets added unreasonably late, it's really obvious how even the devs acknowledge this when entries get unlocked in the codex because a character namedropped Fandaniel or the Final Days, even thought hey are no longer relevant nor will ever be other than in reference to past events, how much nicer would be if you got an entry of the Final Days when you got to Amaurot, which then gets updated when you go through Thavnair 2, Elpis, and Ultima Thule in EW, for example, which is why I feel it would've been an amazing feature to have since the start of the game, I can only hope that it will be used more effectively in 7.0 onwards.

    Maybe it would just not be feasible to add it retroactively, since it likely requires certain triggers to unlock entries, and would demand old players to replay the entire story through NG+ to make it work, but alas...
