So how come The Great Hunt can't be unsynced?

[Doozer]

I mean to be fair it is Monster Hunter. I can't imagine the team at Capcom would have been happy with the idea that you could eventually cheese their contribution to FF14, particularly given the brutally hard nature of the game it was based on. I can pretty well imagine Capcom citing brand integrity or some other excuse when the idea for the cross over was pitched, because there's no other logical reason why this extreme in particular can't be cheesed.

I don't know, I mean difficulty in those games scale. Like with Rathalos for example, when you first encounter it in MHW, even in low rank you're like "oh damn it's Rathalos" but then later when you're kitted out in fully upgraded rarity 8 armour with an augmented rarity 8 weapon, you can stomp that same low rank Rathalos in like a minute. It's not completely out there to be able to be able to do something similar with the crossover.
