Maybe this collab got people that never tried FFXIV but picked it up because it has MH content in it and vice versa. Probably the point of the collab considering both collabs released near the release of the PC version release of MHW.

Yokai/Garo was super grindy though. I thought you didn't like grind? or is it just because it's skill gated?
