Monsters: Found in Expressway – 7 shown

Unique monsters are only encountered during one-time plot encounters; mission monsters appear only during missions; the final bosses make up the last set of encounters in the game; eidolons are special monsters that are not defeated through sheer martial prowess; note that multiple monsters may have the same name, especially in the case of multi-stage bosses Name	The monster's type, as indicated by the in-game datalog Type	The monster's subtype, as indicated by the in-game datalog Subtype	The monster's starting and maximum hit points HP	The monster's strength; a standard physical attack will deal approximately this amount of damage Strength	The monster's magic power; a typical magic attack will deal approximately this amount of damage Magic	The monster's level Level	A monster's chain resistance indicates how quickly its chain meter fills up; a chain resistance of 70 is normal, and every 30 points modifies the chain bonus per hit by that same amount; thus, the chain meter of a monster with a chain resistance of 40 will increase at double speed (compared to 70), or triple speed with a chain resistance of 10; a chain resistance of 100 negates all chain modifiers, reducing each hit to a minimal change to the chain gauge; when a monster is staggered, its chain resistance is reduced to 0 Chain Resistance	When the monster's chain gauge reaches this point, it increases by 100% and they are considered staggered; staggered creatures have a chain resistance of zero; if a monster has no stagger point listed, it will nonetheless be staggered when its chain gauge reaches 999.0% Stagger Point	A monster's stagger index is an adjusted value that gives a relative measure of how hard a monster is to stagger; this number is based on how many hits the monster's chain gauge would require to reach the stagger point with a chain resistance of 70; for instance, a monster with a chain resistance of 70 and a stagger point of 150.0% would have a stagger index of 50 (since the chain gauge starts at 100.0%), as would a monster with a chain resistance of 40 and a stagger point of 200.0% or a monster with a chain resistance of 85 and a stagger point of 125.0%; the stagger index of a monster with a chain resistance of 100 is an approximation due to the effects of having 100 chain resistance Stagger Index	The amount of CP earned by defeating this monster CP	The item you are most likely to earn after defeating this monster in combat; it is not possible to earn both the common drop and the rare drop from a single monster Common Drop	The chance that you will earn the monster's common drop after combat; this chance can be modified by certain accessories Rate	The item you are less likely to earn after defeating this monster in combat; it is not possible to earn both the common drop and the rare drop from a single monster Rare Drop	The chance that you will earn the monster's rare drop after combat; this chance can be modified by certain accessories Rate	The elements and status ailments that this monster is especially vulnerable to; the exact level of vulnerability is listed on the monster page Weakness	The first chapter where you can encounter this monster Chapter
