Category:High Notorious Monsters

High Notorious Monsters are a nebulous category of typically higher-level Notorious Monster that grant everyone in the party or alliance a title upon its defeat. The term was coined by the Japanese players during the first release stages of Final Fantasy XI and was quickly adopted by the NA and EU players as a standard to referring to such NMs. The moniker (also known variably as "Honorific Notorious Monster", "Hard Notorious Monster", "Hyper Notorious Monster" or "Heavy Notorious Monster") is largely an informal one used by players, not by developers of the game itself.
