I was just reading a thread about food by saberwolf94 and I was thinking it would be cool to see notes and/or comments from the playable characters... Like - Miriam could put what she thinks of the monsters in the bestiary.
- Johannes could put his own notes in the alchemy recipes.
- Zangetsu could give his notes on blacksmithing.
Now before I get those comments of "these are not the playable characters" well my answer to that is; these are just examples. This thread is not for arguing whether these are the characters are going to playable or not, so please leave that out of this thread, thank you. But I think this would give the Bloodstained world a new dimension, it would make it more "real" I guess... It could even open up some non killable monsters in the bestiary... where Miriam just notice little monsters that are in the background, she could draw them and make notes on their actions and/or behavior... Anyways, there's my thoughts on a more interesting item, bestiary, blacksmithing and alchemy recipe collection.

That would be fun. If Miriam isn't the artistic type she could go to someone who is and describe what she saw

If Miriam isn't the artistic type she could go to someone who is and describe what she saw actually it would be better if she was not good at art... then Johannes can take a picture of it (or a pic of sorts through alchemy) and we can see her bad drawings in contrast of the picture, they could look like a little kid's drawing... I would love the contrast of the two different looks. Maybe we could get a glimpse of Miriam's personality through her drawings... even though she lost her emotions. Oh! I know, it could look like a kid's picture diary.

A little quote from Miriam or Johannes regarding each monster might be a nice little touch. Though looking back over what's been said about her character, its never been said (to my knowledge) that Miriam had her emotions ripped out like Shanoa, merely that she's initially confused and slightly amnesiac due to her decade long sleep.
A quote from the KS page itself: She is a woman of few words but strong of purpose. Her youth is deceiving, making her seem confrontational and quick to judge, though in reality she is constantly evaluating her next step. The pain she felt as an orphaned child fuels her compassionate desire to protect her loved ones and friends.
I actually expect her to have a rather strong personality, especially since it would sharply contrast her to the aforementioned Shanoa. Ripping out a character's emotions is honestly a lazy way to avoid giving a character a personality 90% of the time.

yeah... your right, it's just the feeling I get from her, personally. I have no idea how her emotions/personality, will really be handled.. I wish we could hear her talk to get an iota of how she will be in the game. in truth I don't want her to be emotionally devoid. but she has been asleep for ten years and if she is 20 (that is just an estimation) than she was slept at the age of ten... so her mental state would be ten right? so I understand she will act way mature for her age but I want some of her immaturity in some way... I think her notes could convey that immaturity perfectly, without going overboard. Thank BloodyTears92 I always make that assumption ^^; after thinking about it thoroughly I see Miriam in a new light.

Actually a very similar Idea I could recommend is the ability to collect documents scattered through the castle which tells tales of events that happened both when the demons showed up and of the alchemy madness of science that happened,basically it would tell the struggles of certain individuals within the castle walls and collecting them would grant Miriam a small boost of EXP and would help tell the backstory a bit more filling in some gaps,it be really nice if these documents had voice work done

I like that Vampire I would like the notes to come from Gebel... first him talking about how he wants to protect Miriam then slowly seeing how madness takes over his mind, as you've said, the notes could explain what happened between the games from Gebel's and other people's point of view.

Ff12 does this with the clan log if i remember right, where you have an excerpt from scholarly work accompanied by a pithy comment or tip from someone whos actually fought one on its tactics or where it can best be found, sounds like an interesting thing the devs could use to insert a bit of humor or dev cameo as the commenters for some of them
