God he looks sooo good, he needed this glow up so bad! He finally looks as scary as he does in his concept art/ecology videos. I loved grinding him out in Hunt-A-Thon quests, he’s just such a cathartic monster to hunt. I’m so so so glad they had the restraint to NOT give him that dumb “warm-up” achilles heel that Basarios had in Rise. He deserves to be one of the most challenging monsters in the game! Just wish they didn’t mess with his roar, really hope they change that.
The 3 big move set changes are; poison gas (that use to only be on basarios), the beam in the ground to make an AOE (very much akin to a teostra move in Rise), and the beam uppercut (a move that wasn't in GU but is from black gravios in MH4/4U). In G rank, black gravios could do that move twice in a combo. Said combo had a fair bit of aim adjusting leeway given to him between the beams. they may give that to the normal one in master rank so not sure if they'll have as much reason to add black gravios or feel the need to rework him so he stands out. They also said, in an interview, that basarios is not in the game. Even if he's not, it's odd that gravios has poison now. In the past, gravios lost the poison in exchange for his better control over fire. As kind of this thing given to the juveniles to increase survival rates until they don't need it anymore. Yes, that fire AOE is going to be a nice free focus strike for IG especially. Lance and GL are great for him. In the past though, his beam required guard up to block. Then again, something as early as doshaguma has an unblockable attack too so we may get guard up sooner in Wilds. I'm not sure if the fire venting is wider but it certainly looks taller in the old games. I wonder how IG will interact with it. Hell yeah, give us more environmental hazards to use against the monsters but also give them more to use against us too. Been asking for that for years. Like how monsters get extra stuff in theri nests, flesh that out more.
Nice breakdown appreciate it! It is weird that Basarios isn't here, but I get that they might've chosen not to do more work for less of a pay off. They probably omitted Basarios and chose to work on other monsters to help bolster the variety in the roster.
@@Jaycan That's true. The loss of basarios may be weird, considering the ecology and Rise getting criticized for a similar thing on other monsters, but I'm satisfied. At least Rise is very accessible, on many platforms now, so it's easier to go back and experience him if that's what you want. Since I have a friend that started in Rise, I'm a ibt more biased towards wanting to see monsters that I and, more so, that he's not fought before to return.
Oh yes we eating good! Since we get parts ok break I feel like Gravios is going to be an easy farm since we’ll be showered with parts since he has so many breaks!
It's one of my favorite monsters to hunt in the series. Taught me a lot about positioning in the older games. Also Gravios hbg is back!? If you know, you know
I need to see Gravious interact with his baby Basarios, I need to see him have a beam battle with Agnaktor, I need to see Gravious show brachydios who the boss is cuz il die on the Hill he would smoke brachydios, an I need to see a turf war between Gravious and Akantor, pls capcom give me that
Wtf do you mean that we could mount his chest in GU. ive fought plenty of Gravios...never knew that lol I didnt watch IGN Japan so itll be nice to react with you tomorrow
They didn't shrink him, but now he holds his wings and belly closer to the ground. It's merely a posture thing
Yea he looks just as big but easier to actually hit which is a HUGE plus.
my breakfast + Jaycan video = legendary duo
Haha glad you’re having a great time! Appreciate your support as always.

Yea kinda sounds like a bear. Let’s see what happens to it in the full game if anything!
As you see,the weapon still bounce when at blue sharpness
Yup yup gotta go get Minds eye or bring a Gunlance maybe DBs too since they get Minds Eye during the Demon Dance!

he looks Beautiful !!!
He does! The effects of his fire and lasers look gorgeous!
Ryozo knows how to spoil our brethren, I just can't wait to do some badass breaks! 😁
Oh yes we eating good! Since we get parts ok break I feel like Gravios is going to be an easy farm since we’ll be showered with parts since he has so many breaks!
Bow gameplay reminds me of adept style in GU. It's the same interaction with more benefits now, thanks to the stamina recovery
Trueee it does kinda feel like Bow and DBs are always in adept mode now. Makes sense though since they don't have access Offsets or Power Clashes.

Maaaaaaaan let them know!
Does his belly always look like it's ripped open?
No you have to break it first!

Hate to bust your bubble, but I think they already confirmed that Basarios isn't making a return despite Gravios being here.
@@Jaycan that feels weird to split them up like that twice in a row
It is kinda weird for sure especially when Basarios is in the game that’s on the same engine, but they have their reasons I suppose!
*All hail Ryozo* 🗿
He can’t miss!

It’s an old tweet but there’s the clip!
Too bad for the sfx for gravios but it looks great
Yes the sounds aren’t the same, but it does sound good!
