I like what the Bestiary/Compendium has to offer, though I also think that there could be a need of either directly related monsters from FF in D&D already, like Carbuncle (not the summon), which, in D&D, is harmless and is only good if you can convince it through a Diplomacy check to give you its gem, which regenerates.
There are those monster more unique to FF, which the compendium has already covered, for the most part (there might be some that are FF unique that aren't here yet, but are more complex), but I wonder if making a document of sorts to see parallel monsters that already exist in FF and have them as a reference for people wanting to use the FF D20 universe. Or is this just me being slightly OCD or analytical to a fault? I already have a doc that gives me the CR of all the monsters in the compendium, which does have gaps, just by the logic that most DMs are probably going to use D&D MM monsters anyway if they can help it.
