Compliment on the Rathalos mount

Great detail,animation,the flying animation is awesome.

We need more detailed mount like this,of that level of quality.

Yeah, I really love the glowing eyes and the flying animation.

That being said, I kind of wish we could get him to roar on command. That would be fun.

Oh, does it have its own animations? Would've figured they'd slap Midgardsormr's on it and called it a day.

I wish he would breathe puddles of fire like he does in the battle. Let me roast Lalafe--I mean marshmallows.

He has a lot of the original Monster Hunter animations associated with him, including how he flies. Had they not said in the live letter that they paid extra attention to details, I'd have sworn they just ported it from one of the games.

He also plays the Monster Hunter music when you fly on him, so that's something special to enjoy too.

Wouldn't work, being a completely different kind of dragon. Midgardsormr has four legs, stubby wings, and a hunchback.

Thers is something weird,on the NPC where you buy the mount,there is check box with "only show lastest item" does that mean we will have more MHW event and mout ?

I'm fairly certain the "only show latest items" thing is just standard for those kind of vendors. Doesn't mean they will ever get an update. That said I wouldn't mind a barding or something like that. Got the mount as a drop and as result I have a whole bunch of leftover scales that I currently can't use, even after buying everything I possibly could.

But if they could do more great quality like this i would not complain at all...

It's possible! Or it might just be there because it's part of the UI coding (if that's the proper term?) by default. We'll just have to see what the future holds!

So I've spent much of the past month playing MHW since it released on PC earlier this month.

I've learned a couple things.
- Rathalos is strictly male. The female variant of it is called Rathian.
- Rathalos, at least in MHW, comes in two types. There's the regular red version, and a blue Azure version that specializes far more towards aerial maneuvers (will spend almost the entire fight in mid-air unless you find ways to knock it out of the sky).
- Rathian comes in green and pink variants.

That said, I think it'd be nice if eventually, we got the green/pink/azure variants of the mount too. Azure especially has a very nice hue of blue.

I think it'd be nice if eventually, his tail would actually cut.

Theres actually other variants of Rathalos from other Monster Hunter games! You have Dreadking and Silver Rathalos which are even stronger than Azure itself. Honestly I'm happy that at the very least the mount came out beautifully, would have been nice to get a unique rathalos animation command for it but the quality is good enough on that end, especially when you consider how sad looking the armor is in MH terms.

Can't without bumping age restrictions.

Unsure if this is a joke, but dismemberment is pretty tame compared to all the wild stuff that has happened in the main story for this expansion already. :P

yoshi p said in a live letter/interview that the reason they can't do dismemberment is because of the rating. they said they'd like to do it in the future, but right now they can't change the rating in this current expansion due to legal issues or something like that.

Ratings can be very strict with what is and isn’t allowed. In Australia, our rating system is G - PG - M - MA - R. The game Portal is rated MA (strictly 15+, whereas M is a recommendation). Portal 2 is only rated PG. The sole difference in presentation, as far as I can tell, is that the original game shows blood on the floor if the sentry turrets shoot you.

Oh yeah. Having seen the Rathalos armor for myself in MHW, I am actually quite disappointed that the armor didn't exactly make its way to FFXIV. It would have been quite unique. It's fairly bulky, but still highly functional and IMO it wouldn't even look weird on casters at all (the Azure variant of the armor is actually very good intermediate archer gear for crit draw builds until you're able to assemble the decorations on other armor sets instead).

Most importantly, it's wildly different from most outfits in FFXIV, I can't even think of anything that compares.
