Fictitious databases in video games.

I'll assume that libraries and bookshelves are forms of databases, technically.

I loved reading all the books in shelves in the Wild Arms series, particularly Wild Arms 3. You'd come across all this info on the guardians as well as interesting battle and story bits. A lot of the time, there were hints hidden in the books, in addition to all the neat filler story.

In Star Ocean 3, almost every shelf had a longer than usual storybook in it. I was really surprised at how much words they put in almost every book in almost every house in almost every town.

In Growlanser Generations, II had this collectable story you could read which was somewhat interesting, despite the chapters not really linking together.

In FM3, I spent more time reading the emails and info in between chapters than actually fighting in the mechs. I barely noticed the database in FFVIII though since I played it a long time ago.

How ya doing, buddy?
