[Suggestion] Monster Bestiary

[Payadopa]

Warhammer incorporated this idea into their Tome Of Knowledge

I'd LOVE to see something like this. Along with some nice rewards upon completion.

Spoke to Yoshida himself about this idea and he said that he would like to implement a bestiary if they can make the appropriate parameter adjustments during the battle fixes.

since the battle fixes are pretty much to terms now, would it be possible to know if they did make the "appropriate parameter adjustements" to be able to do a bestiary?

they are prob waiting for the ps3 release so they can bundle it with a guide book, lol.

Yes, inquiring minds would like to know.

I don't think the "Battle fixes" will be fully finished until we see the job system roll out, and even then they will have some balancing to work with I assume.

I would be interested in knowing what "Paramaters" needed to be adjusted though.

Travesty of travesties! I didn't realize I never 'liked' the first post! Shameful...

Anyway, I like the idea of a bestiary being available on your Lodestone page as well as in-game. Tied into achievements maybe?

I also agree that it'd be a good idea to have a sort of "gauge" in which you would have fragmented amounts of information on said mob until you completed it. This would include anything from HP pools, maybe a little lore, behavior and attack patterns, spawn locations, loot drops, etc., just to name a few examples.

Sorry if all this has been said, but I feel like I had to contribute somehow... >.>

I like this. Bestiary, scan/libra. Yes please. Si por favor.
Specifically, an option to remove UI mob information on mob name tag, and have that information in the bestiary.
I support this!!

All good ideas.

It just seems to me, with SE's long history of making Final Fantasy games, they should have a good gauge of what players like and don't like. And a bestiary is something that's been include in a lot of the recent FF games and I feel people enjoy having! Tie it in with achievements, give us bonuses for hitting each achievement. Any of these things would encourage players to go out and kill various mob types, if only to complete our personal bestiary and give us something to do while we wait for the next update.

I really hope they put this feature in, it gives people the answers in game without just handing them over, I think it works out great for everyone! You could do a simple quest to start your beastiary with some simple mob information already added in to get you started, this would be a useful quest.. unlike the kill 8 squirrels for a subligar quests we have now.
