The top left is the menu of the bestiary/enemy data screen. The "Analysed By" shows who has used a Scan-type skill on an enemy. Each character can use the scan skill (if they know it) and can give different opinions/advice on every enemy. Some characters see different things, some aren't so good at giving advice or aren't specific. This might give a good example, but I wouldn't call them good descriptions...
As a result, the enemy examples shown (which may not be in the game itself) have several different statuses:
The top right one was recently scanned by the third character Metia, and shows his thoughts on the enemy. Metia is more thorough, and gives more stat information. The enemy has also been defeated before, and shows loot dropped.
The bottom left has been defeated before, so there's still loot info, but it hasn't been analysed, so we get ~NO DATA~.
The bottom right has been analysed by Mea. Most characters, including Mea, only give blurbs like such. They could give things Metia doesn't, but usually neglect elemental affinities. Also, since this hasn't been defeated, no loot information is shown.
