Alright, new books arrived today, some initial impressions;

- Monster Data: Capcom have really copped out here. Only monster worth scanning in is the Ceadeus Subspecies, no mention of Rare Narga or Rare Lagia, or even the Silver and Gold Rath's. :/

- Weapon Books: Linking with the above, Jhen Mohran's Sub isn't in it either, and there are only 2 instances where the weapon changes enough to be recognised as the Sub's. The final Jhen SnS becomes purple, as does the final HBG.

- I also now realise why Jin's weapons were brought back alongside Lagia's, it's because each of his lines diverge at one point into a Jin Sub line, or combine with Rare Lagia's weapons. (There are, of course, exceptions to the rule such as Lagia's SnS which continues through Sub to Rare)

- Keeping to the trend of the first point, any weapon for the Rare Species has any item from them labeled with '???' oddly enough they keep the amount of this item needed, another thing I'll need 3G players to help with.

Any requests of info, images etc? o,o I'm still sorting some things out about scanning, but I can easily provide info on weapon stats.
