FF11 had a lot of this and it was really cool. Bombs would pop during fog weather, elemental mobs popped during their respective weathers. Nocturnal mobs would sleep during the day time or pop only at night (Doomed, Bat, Undead) and others would sleep during the evening times of the game (Karakul, Crawlers). Even had a fungus NM that could only pop under the the most favorable weather conditions of certain months in the game. (Noble Mold) Love to see some of this in 14 cause it would be simply interesting and unique features to the game. Don't know how well the second feature you described would pan out but the other 2 seems doable. The seasonal regular monsters could be done with more mobs with interchangeable spawn types.
