[Suggestion] Monster Bestiary

[Sigmakan]

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.

How are those two items linked?

I'd assume that they would have to have the information available for you to be able to get it, or at least work it in so that fills correctly when being filled etc so that any new, or necessary information (for example, certain Opo-opos may give this bit of flavour text in your bestiary) needs to have some kind of trigger.

Thats my guess anyway.

*Edit* Anyway, I'd love to see something like that, it was an enjoyable bit of fluff in Warhammer Online, tracking the different monsters and such you had killed, with flavour and such to go along with it.

Weird, I could swear I saw this very idea in the JP forums recently, with many of the same points in the OP.

Ah, here we go. Not quite the same but it went in a similar direction.

This is a great opportunity to put more lore in the game like many people want. I hope they decide to go beyond just a beastiary! I would like to see an encyclopedia like the one in FFXIII! I would like to see the lore on the areas, the companies, the guilds, the cities, and NPCs. I would love to know more details!

Confirmed for smash hit in Japan.

I like what I read. Reminds me a bit of Atlantica Online's monster journal system, which I enjoyed.
I'm about to make a second account just to thumb you up further. Damn.

Should rename this game WALII:XIV

I'm surprised this got dev attention, but really pleased about it. Even the collection of monster-felling titles in FFXI was a big thing to collect for some people, so the addition of a bestiary would be great; it adds something to the lore that I think a lot of games are missing.

Oh wow! I never thought I'd actually get a reply. I'm extremly glad to hear Yoshida is considering the bestiary! Now we can get some real attention to this thread!

They must have totally ripped me off! I kid, but I did make the thread 2 months prior to them.

Just found this. Love it! 'Nuff said. Liked, will pass the word along.
