Exploring Monster Taming Mechanics in Final Fantasy XIII-2: The Remaining Tables

Continuing this miniseries of exploring the monster taming mechanics of Final Fantasy XIII-2, we'll finish off the remaining database tables that we want for the data relevant to monster taming. In the last article, we filled in a second table of passive abilities and connected those abilities to the monsters that had them through references in the monster table that used foreign keys to the ability table. In the first article, we had identified four tables besides the monster table that we would need as well, these being abilities, game areas, monster materials, and monster characteristics. We did the passive abilities table, but we still need a table for role abilities. In addition to this role ability table, we'll finish off the game areas, monster materials, and monster characteristics tables. These tables are all small, so we should be able to get through them without much effort.
