Can all monster types be captured?
This is in regards to the Imprism system that is used to capture monsters that you battle.
Generally I find that when you lower an enemies health down they will eventually show the animation that indicates they can be captured and the Imprism action becomes available on them.
However, I have bumped into a couple of monsters that I just can't get them into that state no matter how low their health. In one case the health bar was so low I couldn't actually see any health in the bar (it looked completely empty, like 1hp or something). I am not sure the name of this particular creature but it was a small bat type.
So, the questions is, are there some monsters that just cannot be captured?
Or is this a case where I don't understand the system, and lowering health isn't the only method?

I have only played the demo so far so this may or may not be accurate but it seemed to show that all monsters have a condition that needs to be met to trigger the imprism state (I think you might also need a relevant kind of crystal as well, I remember some in my inventory). For most it seemed that damage was the trigger but some needed fire or water damage specifically, using Libra revealed what needed to be done to get a chance at inducing that state
