Edit: Well, we're beyond R9 now, but this still applies, more or less. Especially since we plan to add more new critters once the Secret-Windows-Port is playable.

-----

Nice R9 comes with new animals, or critters, as we call them (since that's exactly what they are! :P)... It is yet unknown how these new critters have entered the Noctis galaxy.

Biological data on these new critters is as of now not available (to you. :P). As one of the explorers of the Noctis galaxy, you have to get said information. However, since Noctis is instead of a game more like a "dream" (your dream, but everyone elses, too), we would like you to follow the following guidelines. You don't NEED to follow these guidelines, but it'd be fun to do so. THESE ARE NOT RULES. You'll just spoil the whole search for the new critters if you don't follow them... :P... and maybe make enemies. <y>hooray for Fationic Cannon!</y>

--------------The Guidelines--------------------
Instead of immediately posting a screenshot of one of the new critters, try to "roleplay" your way into it. You don't have to be the first one to find them and post a detailed screenshot of them! Trust me, you'll get more fame if you make a detailed report (text-wise, yes) of the new critter, than you'd get when you just post a face-to-face screenshot of it... That's what Noctis is all about, right? Joining peoples dreams, instead of spoiling them, right? So please don't try and spoil it all.. Thank you very much.

So: It'd be nice if you roleplay as one of the Fely/isian explorers which are going to find the new critters! Just don't try and spoil stuff by posting screenshots... :)
------------------------------------------------

As a final word, I'd have to say, that one of the new critters is.. well.. rare.. And by that I don't mean "rare as in gold", I mean... err.. VERY rare. If you found one of those on a world, You can lick your fur, and post some parsis coordinates...

Anyways, have fun with this 9th release of NICE! And remember that the above were just a few guidelines to make this release fun for everyone.. Try to take them serious.. :)
