Compliment on the Rathalos mount

[Zomkei]

Unsure if this is a joke, but dismemberment is pretty tame compared to all the wild stuff that has happened in the main story for this expansion already. :P

yoshi p said in a live letter/interview that the reason they can't do dismemberment is because of the rating. they said they'd like to do it in the future, but right now they can't change the rating in this current expansion due to legal issues or something like that.

Ratings can be very strict with what is and isn’t allowed. In Australia, our rating system is G - PG - M - MA - R. The game Portal is rated MA (strictly 15+, whereas M is a recommendation). Portal 2 is only rated PG. The sole difference in presentation, as far as I can tell, is that the original game shows blood on the floor if the sentry turrets shoot you.

Theres actually other variants of Rathalos from other Monster Hunter games! You have Dreadking and Silver Rathalos which are even stronger than Azure itself. Honestly I'm happy that at the very least the mount came out beautifully, would have been nice to get a unique rathalos animation command for it but the quality is good enough on that end, especially when you consider how sad looking the armor is in MH terms.

Oh yeah. Having seen the Rathalos armor for myself in MHW, I am actually quite disappointed that the armor didn't exactly make its way to FFXIV. It would have been quite unique. It's fairly bulky, but still highly functional and IMO it wouldn't even look weird on casters at all (the Azure variant of the armor is actually very good intermediate archer gear for crit draw builds until you're able to assemble the decorations on other armor sets instead).

Most importantly, it's wildly different from most outfits in FFXIV, I can't even think of anything that compares.

Give us Rathalos's rage roar~ Or just a fireball.
