I might be stating the obvious, but here goes anyway....
The monster data looks like its in the files "enemy012.dat" and "enemy331.dat".
If it's not in any obvious places (meaning files with names like the ones above) then it's most likely compressed somewhere on the CD, if you did not do a full install. I did only the standard install, and I noticed the CD is being accessed during the time inbetween the swirl effect and when the ATB starts up. Could be a clue.....
