Monster hunter world collab

[KageTokage]

This would actually be an immensely fun new (well, apart from a tiny handful of encounters) twist compared to the trials we have already. I hope for an extreme version as well, though I know it's probably too much to expect.

I rather like the boss(es) in Dusk Vigil HM specifically because they can't be tanked and force you to rely on visual cues to identify what they're doing and position accordingly.

Making the Rathalos a higher intensity version of that with more frequent attacks and weakness stacks to punish repeated failures would make for an interesting encounter.

Sure, the crossover events and 24 man raids are fan service, but the main story quests are completely original. I don't know where you're getting the idea that it doesn't build on its own world.

I did not elaborate as I should have, but at the time, my comment was more directed toward events. MSQ is unique, and there are of course many unique dungeon bosses and fights, however, they are still heavily relying on past games for new content.

Lighthouse and Rabanastre pull from XII, Sigmascape pulling from VI, Deltascape taking from V, the enormous amount of bosses/fauna pulled from XI (not just talking the FF staples either), etc. Then we have cross-overs that make absolutely no sense.

So yes, If they make another MMO, I'd like to see them take the time to create unique raids and events that focus on its own specific world, rather than needing to heavily rely on past games for source material. Final Fantasy has a lot of staples within the series, so there will of course be familiar names and creatures popping up, but XIV has gone overboard at this point.

On topic though - I am not a fan of this game having completely random cross-over events. Don't get me wrong, I love fluff stuff, I love events, however with XIV, it's part of a larger issue with me. I feel they've gone the easy route far too often, we're stuck on a content cycle that rarely changes (2 dungeons, 1 raid, 1 24-man, patterned fights, recycled gear, and more), uninspired ideas (see borrowing above), and now we get cross-overs that make absolutely no sense in the world.

I hope we get some more infos like rewards and stuff during today's live letter

but keep in mind that a potential stand alone trial will most likely have MSQ level of difficulty to allow putting it into the trial roulette. Else there will be the Odin problem again were finding groups will be near impossible after most people got all the rewards within a week or so

So if we get weapons, dark night probably gets the jaw blade but what about everyone else? Dragoon Kinect blade? Warrior hammer? What about the casters?

[Derio]

Most likely be palico minion. Rathalos mount. And the classic rathalos armorset with possibly rathalos themed ffxiv weapons.

I wonder what events in MonsterHunter we will have and what gear from ffxiv will be in the game

Hunting horn? I dunno, they could have make a new sprite for caster/healer weapons just like what they did with Lightning event.

Likely its going to be fates, but if its intense fates (kind of like how Eureka functioned with Pazuzu where you needed a ton of people to do it), that can wreck people, that would be cool.

[theNeonFrequency]

i never asked for this i never wanted this but i guess it would be something different. wonder what info we are gonna get at fan fest

Also yes to Rathalos mount PLSSSSSSSS

[JunseiKei]

I'm not familiar with Monster Hunter. I've heard of it but have never played any of the games in the series. I might now, though.

Also, slightly off-topic, FFXIV now has 10 million registered players worldwide? That's pretty cool Is that subs? Or some other metric?

It's overall. Not currently playing, not subbed, etc. It's just how many accounts have been made.

So if we get weapons, dark night probably gets the jaw blade but what about everyone else? Dragoon Kinect blade? Warrior hammer? What about the casters?

DRK - Great Sword
PLD - Charge Blade (sword mode only) or Sword and Shield
WAR - Switch Axe
SAM - Long Sword
MNK -Tonfa (Monster Hunter Frontier exclusive weapon)
Ninja - Dual Swords
Dragoon - Insect Glaive or Lance (minus shield?)
BRD - Bow
MCH - Light Bowgun

The casters would definitely need more imaginative creations. I'd see just gaining Rathalos scales or something being gained and then turning them in for weapons, giving them the King of the Sky's signature look.

Yoshida - You won't be disappointed.

Small glimmer or hope that it won't be just a F.A.T.E.
