I'm only suggesting this to take place after the completion of GwEotn.
The plan is to randomize monster encounters. The engine will of course be programmed with the monsters that should appear but make it so that monsters will reapear in that area too (excluding bosses). So for example, in Factions south of the ran masu gardens there is a huge number of mantids. Now a player kills them all and moves on. They appear later near more mantids or in a compatible area. Or say the player clears out the entire kinya peninsula, When the player walks on an area compatible with monsters there's a chance that a certain number of them will appear. Better explained in this simplified script.

GetPlayerLocation;
CheckMonsterDatabase;
FindCompatibleMonster;
createRandomnumber;
if(
number < 50
)
compatiblemonster appears;
else
nothing happens.

that's put really really basic as a simplified algorithm for the exact script.

This would mess up vanquishing, at least the "make monsters respawn" part of it. So no to that. Rest would be nice, but each area would have to have a list of monsters to pull data from, so it isn't completely random.

True but it would make it a bit more of a challenge at least. You are never sure exactly which monsters will appear. (all monsters will of course be tuned to the level of the area) Oh and I'd better delete the part about the rez. That doesn't seem to add much.
