What's up with the Monster Hunter armor?

[Berethos]

but would it really have been that hard to give us actual Rathalos armor?

I doubt it was a question of difficulty, but rather a design decision based on aesthetic.

I am disappointed that their design decision led to them deciding to keep the aesthetic of the armor we get more in line with styles that we typically see (there are elements in that evocative of Rathalos, such as the red scales on the sides of the female piece, and I do like both as individual sets regardless of their origin of inspiration) rather than going for a full on Rathalos set...

But that disappointment is heavily offset by the inclusion of Rathalos as an actual mount.

Have they said whether the event is running for a limited time? I think I want it for my Lv30 alt I wasn’t planning to get to 70 for a long time...

It's permanent on both sides of the collab.

Excellent, thanks.

Not being familiar with Monster Hunter, I like the gear for what it is. I prefer that style to full armour so I think I’m glad they changed it.

...ah, now those comparison pics have been posted, I’m *definitely* glad they changed it. They look very bulky.
