Yes! It's right there in the bestiary, specifically in the Esper entries!

If you want to go back even further you'd look in the alternatives bestiary entries for other monsters, which are unlocked after killing a certain number of each beast. But the whole plot is right in there!

I'm glad they didn't weave that stuff in the main plot. It wouldn't have made sense and would have been way, waaaay too clunky.

yeah thats what im saying its a back story they didn't put it in the game's plot (ie the characters talk about it). like how WRPGs do it. you know how in elder scrolls you find a book and read it ?

its also nice that it was related to Tactics and Vagrant story in some way. i really liked that about FFXII , and alot of people missed it , it seems.

i personally read all about it on an internet site ( this ) , didn't get to read all the esper entries.

Me and the wife completed the bestiary specifically for that reason, to find out about the history of the world, but again, I think I prefer it that way. The focus of the plot as-is was razor sharp, and would have suffered from dealing with the mythic origins of one group of your enemies.
