Rathalos dialog

[RobinMalvin]

Considering that in universe Miqo'te seem to deny them being related to cats, the dialogue option makes a bit more sense.



Just a bit.

[Frizze]

They can deny it all they want. We all know the truth.

The game is pretty selective about that, not to mention that was an obvious joke dialogue option (not to mention these events aren't quite canon to start with); I liked it, it was funny. Not to mention when you meet Genbu your Kojin partner will exclaim "By the kami! A talking turtle?" to the bemusement of the WoL and Tataru.

My point is, of COURSE it's silly, that's the point

Bartz makes a similar comment when he meets a talking turtle back in FFV, so that particular dialogue line is likely inspired by that. It could be a coincidence, of course, but given how often this game likes to reference previous titles I think it's safe to consider it intentional.

One of the Xaela at Reunion mentions a legend about a dragon slumbering in the mountains to the North. Is that a new hint about the whereabouts of one of the other First Brood dragons?

A red wyvern by the name Rathalos? I'm sorry, but you must be mistaken. I've heard stories of a great wyvern that slumbers in the mountains to the north, but it was not red, and most certainly does not go by that name.

That's most likely a reference to the level 60-70 DRG quests.

It is indeed - if you pick up the MH-quest with the dragoon-quest completed, the Xaela will say something along the lines of "There used to be this dragon in the mountains, but someone already took care of it" (that someone being you, the dragoon).
