Another Monster hunter crossover

[Theskymarble]

If we were to get another crossover with Monster Hunter what would you want from MHW and want to be in MHW?

[Theskymarble]

I probably would want either Zinogre Deviljho or Rajang to come over. Not sure what I would give to MHW... maybe a dragon like Nidhogg or Shinryu.

Yoshi did say if he was gonna do another cross over he would pick Rajang

I want the opposite. I'd prefer something that actually fits in the XIV universe to the point that one doesn't need to have played MH for it to make reasonable sense.

You don't need to have played MH to make sense of it. The name of the game is literally the title. Also, we have Nier - that doesn't make any sense either, especially for the small amount that I know about the game's lore, but it's enjoyable all the same. Some people even enjoyed Yokai and GAROU.

Yoshida did say he'd pick Rajang, as mentioned above, though I can't see how they'd actually implement the fight to do Rajang justice. That is one insanely angry monkey. Other fights have had some MH-like mechanics that were alright (Bismarck and Steps of Faith).

I want Monster Hunter style weapons, though. Especially if they'd be modeled after Rajang - they'd have a lot of creative opportunity with Rajang's signature black, gold and red color scheme; especially if they include his golden lightning.

I'm not saying it can't have just about as many MH elements as they want. Obviously we aren't going to be getting a Protoaxe or the like as it'll have to fit our jobs, but otherwise -- go wild.

But you should be able to go from, say, XIV's vague, general concept of a "Hunt" and simply throw a new MH monster and MH characters at it and, despite however much you throw MH into there, no one needing to know that it wasn't just a uniquely-equipped set of individuals going after a rare hunt or the like. Your MH-oblivious player should be able to go "Wow, XIV got a lot more interesting for a bit there!"

Now, I do likewise worry about XIV pulling off Rajang. (I don't think they even did Rathalos justice, to be honest.) I almost feel like their only way to suitably showcase Rajang is to include a turf war... where we're largely the collateral damage. Or, heck, maybe we need to help Rajang even though he's far less discriminant about who he takes apart, and our tanks end up popping cooldowns and making themselves useful as projectiles for Rajang to yeet at his much larger main enemies. Who knows?

Making sense for cross-overs is complicated overall, and... is there need to make clothes have sense? It's clothes, after all, and the world of Hydaelyn is weird enough to have very different type of clothes.

As for the story - we already have Nier, and without playing the actual Automata I'm quite sure most people are just like "2B UwU 9S bad", when most of those who played (among my friends at least), including me, are "Something is fishy here". Which will be fair for most of cross-overs with actual story line. I mean, even in other cross-overs we had, if there is no knowledges about original game, there is a chance of "???" feeling.

Well we already have the Palico and Rathalos on Hydaelyn and we also already have a few gorilla monsters. The lore they could come up with is an Aetherically charged gorilla monster or something.

^This, and the real running animation for the palico, instead of the "speed up the walking animation". An animation when two palico minions meet as well, the same way our palico salutes the grimalkynes in MH would be nice.

I don't really want a specific monster, but a brute wyvern instead of a flying one would make a nice change (so, let's talk about Brachy's theme now...) Beside this, I just want a fight not only in one circle or a square. Something more like the fights against Gilgamesh, where we have to move to different locations during the fight, and why not having to bait the monster on optional traps near walls like we do in MH.

But, overall, I just want it to be very faithful to Monster Hunter. As faithful as the behemoth on Monster Hunter. The event with Rathalos was good, but so many little details were missing. Especially on Rathalos and his animations. About that : don't forget the eyelids on the monster next time!
