To stress Cotton doesn't get forced to do anything, he's an adult human, he wants to have the first pure experience in the full game in the full Pro and Noob series both for his and your guys maximum enjoyment so this mini Pro and Blind Noob beta series is a lovely middleground for you all to have fun with, I personally can't wait to do all this again but this time able to talk to him about everything we're doing and seeing!
That’s always good to hear! I do remember back in sunbreak where people were a little miffed by not letting him see the cutscenes and thinking it was for control and self revealing. Though hearing this is always comforting to know since we all love this proob series so much ^^
So Cotton has seen: -the initial teaser trailer -the title screen of the beta test -portions of the opening cutscene -the character creator and… -A POMPADOUR!! This guys legit needs some kind of reward for holding out all this time!
It’s like Cotton is having an existential crisis slowly coming to understand our Palicos actually talk now. Though I don’t blame him if he reverts the option, like a lot of people already have. Seriously though, this doesn’t feel real. I just spent a good hour wandering around the windward plains just taking it all in. I know the beta likely won’t reflect the final release, but it was so gorgeous to just take it all in.
I got my palicos voice just right to not be annoying long term and actually fit his look the audio que that it is sending a heal or antidote is very useful
We can make the Palicos meow. You just have to change their language to palico. If you have subtitles, you can still see what they are actually saying, but all you hear are the meows
The reason you couldn't enter your cats name at 6:40 is because poof is an offensive British slang word for gay men. A character from the Faily Odd parents had to get a name change in the recent reboot for the same reason
@@TrexHunter2000I thought it was because Poo is part of the name or something like that… Then again; I couldn’t nickname an Torterra in Pokemon Isobu (the Three Tails from Naruto) because SOB is an acronym for an offensive slur The world today has so many snowflakes it’s not even funny
@lordofasshes657 I'm British too, and I've never heard af it either. So it seems to be a very niche slur. But I'm also not around people or places where slurs are ever, so I could be wrong
I would like to suggest that the first Wilds Proob episode be a full Cotton view one so that we are put on his perspective since Wilds is so unique in every way compared to every prior MH game, then from episode 2 onwards we go back to the usual Aylia view that we enjoy
I'm so happy that Cotton gets his pompadour right at the beginning of the game. I remember in Rise he had to wait for some DLC to get a proper pompadour.
Part of me was hoping that it would be a special Pro and Noob where it's Josh and Hollow. As revenge for when Josh found out about Cottons other hunting partners in the prediction video.
Okay I just want a general consensus is it just me or have other people when making their palico get unreasonably happy when not only you realized you could make them fluffy but also that you could see them smile
26:02 these bugs look like they have the Ahtal-Ka skeleton which gives me major hope to have her return in Wilds. Can’t wait to see what they do with her and how the new world hunters will react to her
That's also Nerscylla's animation But I'm also really hoping that, in some way, Ahtal-Ka returns with her golden glory. Cus god damn, if she does... Imagine the quality
From my time in the character creation...one thing i think i prefer from Rise's was the creativity i could do with the Scars, since i tend to stay with the same character style (same hunter going through the various games) so more scars appear as each game passes though i envisioned with Rise some of the Elder Dragons ended up causing some scars literally infused with dragon energy so they permanently appear to be either fresh and ready to bleed or are glowing from within. The luminescence option from the texture section causes some severe white glow even for a single tick on most colors completely covering the color i want to see in the glow
18:36 Josh knowing nothing about this weapon but revealing that the both buttons attack can make two notes like the circle button attack is insane, this revolutionizes song routes
Im so sad I thought cotton would be able to play since it's the actual game. Just only let him see when the hunt starts and fight the doshaguma that he already knows about.
Cotton is crazy good at analyzing the sounds from the Hunting Horn, it's actually crazy. "Why does it sound so bouncy?" right after the hunter was jumping around.
Cotton being able to hold back on not being spoiled on anything. the power to resist those urges to see everything thats been revealed so far is crazy. Like cotton is leading AA meetings kinda strength.
197 Proobs in and there is still no Fish or not Fish documentary, also sorry but I wont watch this video cause I'm wanting to go full Cotton for Wilds so my b 🐟
(Technically) 197 Proobs in and there's still no Fish or Not Fish Documentary. Will we get The Documentary before Wilds comes out? Will Rentarou reach the 100th girl before Luffy finds the One Piece? Find out, sometime, on FONF Kai🦀🌙🐌🐟🐢🔥
Didn't see anyone mention this in the comments even as I scrolled for a moment: You can have your Palico (and every other one you meet or others have) speak in Meows also. No need to earbleed in the nasal toned voices. It's in the creation menu, under the "sub-menu" part.
I love how we get the opening scene because it really shows how powerful the ps5 is, and i was glad that it could handle it with zero lag. Im sure if it was choppy, that would be the first on the list to fix
@@LacTose90 the ps5 chugs at 40 frames give or take with or without performance mode from the pro(which is not worth the price tag). Any decent enough Desktop PC is going to run better frames.
mount a Balahara and jump to its tail, it actually uses its body type to turn and shoot mud at you and it’s sooo good, also when you get the chance cut its tail off
I’m faintly disappointed that Wyverian ears are only on the terribly expensive extra-bonus version, but I’m not surprised. My ideal would be for 5 body types in character creation: 1&2 = ‘human’ hunters 3&4 = wyverian hunters 5 = Felyne hunter (bigger than palicos, think Meowster Chef sized) Let us play as cats in more games, Capcom!
"Have you decided on a weapon" Of course he has. He's going to pick the one weapon he can play competently. They should give the viewers more variety by banning Josh from using a greatsword for the first kill of every monster. He could unlock the greatsword for use against a monster by killing it without carting. That'll force him to learn how to play something else for a change.
5:00 at least we have the wyverian ears layered armor until that becomes an option! But I think there is a lore reason iirc, something about wyverian hunters being incredibly rare because they’re just better suited to being scholars and authority figures with their long natural lifespans
I can’t play the beta between work and internet issues so I’ve been waiting for this all day so I can actually see what’s coming to force as many friends as possible to try it. I can’t wait for Cotton to actually see everything! Pro and Noob is the only Monster Hunter content I watch
24:24 aah, I see you're mentioning one of our native animals, the "Queixada", an aggressive "pig like" animal with thick fur that is mostly in groups of 20 to 300 individuals that also covers itself in mud
Noooooo! Cotton isn't gonna play!!!! Damn, that sucks. I've been staying away from spoilers too. But I'm definitely playing this demo as much as I can.
I played the beta yesterday and I hunted all 4 large monsters by my self and I have to admit rey dau was really interesting And all the new mechanics are nice
After i made my character, i simply could not stop staring at two things, one was Gemma, the other was the level of detail on the outfits and my hunters armour. the fact that male and female hunters can wear the other genders armour opens up SO MUCH room for Fashion that its not even funny. i wore the female Hope helmet which basically just lowers the hood and has a little mini gas mask kinda thing around my neck, and it looked so freaking good. Also, the Apex of the Windward plains is not to be fucked with, he can one shot you or at least be very close to a one shot. I killed him solo in 24 minutes with LBG and one faint, you'll also love where his nest is.
And to think there will be so many new and revitalized mechanics with other weapons that Josh will never learn, for he is a one-weapon NOOB compared the in-universe canonical hunting geniuses that can skilfully use multiple weapons, like Cotton who is a true PRO!
I also didn’t realize poof was an offensive term in some areas of the world and was stopped from naming a Ghastly that in Pokémon Moon. I then pivoted to AssHat which was allowed so AssHat the Gengar entered the Hall of Fame
Haven't been so excited for a game since Iceborne. The beta was amazing, with so many good changes and updates to the series! It almost got me to upgrade to premium deluxe... almost. Looking forward to putting another 3k+ hours into this game.
Ive been loving the beta, ive hunted everything and been trying the weapons and loving them all (Toad boi has been my volun-told tester for each weapons 😅)
The best Palico is Whitescruff the timid palico from Generations. Also my very first Monster Hunter (Tri) didn’t feature palicos so I’d believe they would do it again.
To stress Cotton doesn't get forced to do anything, he's an adult human, he wants to have the first pure experience in the full game in the full Pro and Noob series both for his and your guys maximum enjoyment so this mini Pro and Blind Noob beta series is a lovely middleground for you all to have fun with, I personally can't wait to do all this again but this time able to talk to him about everything we're doing and seeing!
I can't wait for all of your Wilds content, especially Pro & Noob!
What about a first look at Wilds Cotton with the character creator?
That’s always good to hear! I do remember back in sunbreak where people were a little miffed by not letting him see the cutscenes and thinking it was for control and self revealing.
Though hearing this is always comforting to know since we all love this proob series so much ^^
@@TheGoldman18 That is actually happening!
You should include an edited in “Muted” sign whenever you’re talking to us without silly ol Cotton being able to interrupt
"What's happening visually is a secret-"
Josh, you can't keep doing this! I can feel the backlash once he's able to see it all xD
But the fact that Josh at every possible opportunity makes that the same thinly veiled joke is hilarious in every conceivable way.
It did work out well that they pronounce it Secret, like with the "secret training"
I was just about to comment something like this 🤣
"visually what is happening is a seikrit" you can no longer get upset at cottons puns
The little "I'm sorry I was Focusing" is perhaps the greatest pun Josh dropped this episode.
22:43 Missing not only a true charge, but the VERY FIRST true charge of the sixth gen games is so hysterically on point 😂
It’s what I expect from Josh disappointment, stupidity, mixed with whatever random nonsense that he spews out of his face
So Cotton has seen:
-the initial teaser trailer
-the title screen of the beta test
-portions of the opening cutscene
-the character creator and…
-A POMPADOUR!!
This guys legit needs some kind of reward for holding out all this time!
Honestly his reward is when he discovers all the crazy monsters that we've seen. Just imagine when he sees The Black Flame for the first time.
Never have I ever been excited this much for a Pro and Noob episode before
The use of the word Secret in this episode has me in TEARS. This is the funniest thing ever
"Sorry what were you saying I was FOCUSING" is the greatest little tongue in cheek comment
2:30 To be fair, MH3 had chacha and kayamba instead of palicos
It’s like Cotton is having an existential crisis slowly coming to understand our Palicos actually talk now. Though I don’t blame him if he reverts the option, like a lot of people already have.

Ain't Josh - bri'ish man?
And, clearly, he didn't know, why "Poof" is inappropriate.🤔
It's so niche kind of slang?
He's aware. He's British.
@lordofasshes657 I'm British too, and I've never heard af it either. So it seems to be a very niche slur. But I'm also not around people or places where slurs are ever, so I could be wrong
If he can fight rey dau in the beta cotton is going to be floored by the sounds rey dau makes. They are so unique and memorable.
oh my god cotton's patrick star impression is spot on! thats hillarious
14:23 Poor cotton with the completely out of context in the story gets "we were doing secret practice... But then it came"😂
I would like to suggest that the first Wilds Proob episode be a full Cotton view one so that we are put on his perspective since Wilds is so unique in every way compared to every prior MH game, then from episode 2 onwards we go back to the usual Aylia view that we enjoy

Got myself rocking a Pompadour and Stylish Moustache in Wilds. Gonna be the most dapper son of a gun to ever turn a Rathalos into boots.
Cotton: "you can pull out the 15th weapon"
Pop-up: "there are 14 weapons"
Me- laughs hysterically
Cotton's powers of deduction are terrifyingly good
Him not being able to realise what tte screamer pod sounds like:
(Not saying i could do any better, but just saying, that hey‘re not THAT good.)
@@NoahCallenberg to be fair, I haven't used screamer pods regularly since Nibblesnarf in 3U
yeah, he's surprisingly good at figuring out what's happening just from audio
30:11- YES! YES! YES! That's pretty close to what I hoped for when learning we would talk.
1:48 That's just what friends do, they talk behind your back and re-emerge, laughing maniacally
Rey Dau absolutely kicked my ass the first time I hunted her.
i got chessed all three deaths. I was on a roll but after the firs one it plummeted
@@dtg9k355tbh it’s gonna take some time to master the offset attacks and allat
Damn and here i am thinking the fight is super easy. I actually have a harder time with the alpha Doshaguma
Yeah, I tried to solo her only to instantly regret it when she went full railcannon on me.
@@ligaar0849 true though, I dunno how I didn't get carted when I hunted Alpha Doshaguma
Part of me was hoping that it would be a special Pro and Noob where it's Josh and Hollow. As revenge for when Josh found out about Cottons other hunting partners in the prediction video.
Now that I think of it. Josh and Cotton really remind me of SpongeBob and Patrick. Does that make Hollow Squidward? 😂
Then who’s Mr Crabs?
Okay I just want a general consensus is it just me or have other people when making their palico get unreasonably happy when not only you realized you could make them fluffy but also that you could see them smile
The fact that josh just drops so many hints is so funny.
26:02 these bugs look like they have the Ahtal-Ka skeleton which gives me major hope to have her return in Wilds. Can’t wait to see what they do with her and how the new world hunters will react to her

@@nargiaz7368 oh thats true, but still!! even if we get Nerscylla, I'd be a very very happy camper
5:32 They prepped Wilds to lure in Cotton
When ypu back out the main screen cinematic is absolutely beautiful
10:43 Josh will not stop making this joke until Wilds releases
"They've actually been quite calm"
Small momsters: immediately start attacking Josh
I can't poofin' wait for Wilds.
Aiming Great Sword is absolutely amazing and long awaited. I'm so freakin happy..
I felt so bad for how badly I beat up Chatacabra the first time. He did not have the chance to even do a jump attack.
Lol i caught his jump with the SA offset attack and i just launched him back to where he came from
Meanwhile we got monster hunter now hunters getting 💩 on by him.😂😂😂
@@-AL-FI- Wdym
Can't wait for Cotton to have his eyes back

I was almost expecting the weapon quiz to be like Mystery Dungeon with it basically choosing your weapon with a personality test.
18:36 Josh knowing nothing about this weapon but revealing that the both buttons attack can make two notes like the circle button attack is insane, this revolutionizes song routes
22:48 Glad to see nothings changed.
This is so epic to edge cotton for wilds is an amazingly brilliant idea 😂 can't wait for more of this
After you guys do these missions FOR REAL, I immediately need you guys to rewatch this episode.
Im so sad I thought cotton would be able to play since it's the actual game. Just only let him see when the hunt starts and fight the doshaguma that he already knows about.
I'm certain he's choosing not to.
He's an adult, if he wanted to play then he would play, Josh couldn't tell him otherwise!
Cotton deserves full commendations for his patience, and his devotion to the fans.
Cotton is crazy good at analyzing the sounds from the Hunting Horn, it's actually crazy. "Why does it sound so bouncy?" right after the hunter was jumping around.
I've been refreshing my UA-cam all day waiting for Josh's reaction to the beta. I live for this man's hype.
Cotton being able to hold back on not being spoiled on anything. the power to resist those urges to see everything thats been revealed so far is crazy. Like cotton is leading AA meetings kinda strength.
THEY HAVE RETURNED 👑 👑
197 Proobs in and there is still no Fish or not Fish documentary, also sorry but I wont watch this video cause I'm wanting to go full Cotton for Wilds so my b 🐟
As I found from trying to wait for Narwa, I do not experience enough great suprise for blinding myself to be worth it, so i will watch!😎🔴🔵
Oh we're almost at 200
I have never been happier to have a ps5
I LOVE THE SEIKRET! its my favorite companion weve gotten and its not even close
(Technically) 197 Proobs in and there's still no Fish or Not Fish Documentary. Will we get The Documentary before Wilds comes out? Will Rentarou reach the 100th girl before Luffy finds the One Piece?

@@LacTose90 the ps5 chugs at 40 frames give or take with or without performance mode from the pro(which is not worth the price tag). Any decent enough Desktop PC is going to run better frames.
6:40 For those unaware. Poof is a term used in England to refer to an effeminate man; typically in regards to a gay man.
Dude! The first Hunting horn is an Iron Saxophone! That's awesome!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAY!!!!!!!!
Now I want a video from Cotton about his new theories based on what he's heard here
I knew Cotton would instantly love that pompador the second he saw it
mount a Balahara and jump to its tail, it actually uses its body type to turn and shoot mud at you and it’s sooo good, also when you get the chance cut its tail off
Where the chatacabra licking reminded of a bull dog licking someone
I would love if you could come back to this video when the game comes out, and Cotton won't be blind anymore.
i like how Cotton mumbling in the background when Josh mute the vc
I’m faintly disappointed that Wyverian ears are only on the terribly expensive extra-bonus version, but I’m not surprised.
My ideal would be for 5 body types in character creation:
1&2 = ‘human’ hunters
3&4 = wyverian hunters
5 = Felyne hunter (bigger than palicos, think Meowster Chef sized)
Let us play as cats in more games, Capcom!
Welcome back! 🎉
This is my reaction to playing the open beta exactly lmao. Godspeed
24:33 BRAZIL MENTIONED!!!!!!
The "secret" joke's fruition in Feb is gonna be so damn good 😂
"Have you decided on a weapon"
Of course he has. He's going to pick the one weapon he can play competently. They should give the viewers more variety by banning Josh from using a greatsword for the first kill of every monster.
He could unlock the greatsword for use against a monster by killing it without carting. That'll force him to learn how to play something else for a change.
16:39 "anyway i was just focusing" 😂

Cannot wait for the monster raps for the new beasties
Love this. Can't wait for cotton to play in February
32:33 THEY SHOWED GUILD POINTS!!! On the right side of the screen, they showed how many points that quest was worth!
Being blinded has improved Cotton's senses fivefold. When the game comes out hw'll be able to play the game by sent alone
26:37 Rompopolo perks up maliciously at learning of it's Cotton luring capacity. Anglerfish needs to get good
This is the only video imma watch about this game and I’m 100% gonna ghost until it comes out..to say I’m excited is a understatement
After i made my character, i simply could not stop staring at two things, one was Gemma, the other was the level of detail on the outfits and my hunters armour. the fact that male and female hunters can wear the other genders armour opens up SO MUCH room for Fashion that its not even funny. i wore the female Hope helmet which basically just lowers the hood and has a little mini gas mask kinda thing around my neck, and it looked so freaking good. Also, the Apex of the Windward plains is not to be fucked with, he can one shot you or at least be very close to a one shot. I killed him solo in 24 minutes with LBG and one faint, you'll also love where his nest is.

Tbf as of late he has been slowly branching out.. like a lifelong vegetarian being pressured into eating meat for the first time lol
Nothing more iconic than Josh missing the first TCS of wilds
10:43 you could say what's happening visually is a... Seikret
I also didn’t realize
poof was an offensive term in some areas of the world and was stopped from naming a Ghastly that in Pokémon Moon. I then pivoted to AssHat which was allowed so AssHat the Gengar entered the Hall of Fame
Haven't been so excited for a game since Iceborne. The beta was amazing, with so many good changes and updates to the series! It almost got me to upgrade to premium deluxe... almost. Looking forward to putting another 3k+ hours into this game.
I've been waiting for this all day, LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Regarding Wilds being a followup to 4U, I imagine it's not impossible that Athos is just Smirk the cowardly palico but older.
Petition to have mh wilds be a pro, noob, and hollow series!!.
Leave it to MH to have 2-hour long character creation IN THE DEMO.
7:18 Oh, that's why.
I was waiting so impatiently for Cotton to see the pompadour. I was not disappointed.
Ive been loving the beta, ive hunted everything and been trying the weapons and loving them all
(Toad boi has been my volun-told tester for each weapons 😅)
Time to see them go wild friends
*I CANNOT WAIT TILL FEBRUARYYYYYYYYY*
I 100% believe cotton had a pirate shirt
The words "IT'S SO GOOOOD!" have also escaped my lips while playing the beta.
The best Palico is Whitescruff the timid palico from Generations.
Also my very first Monster Hunter (Tri) didn’t feature palicos so I’d believe they would do it again.
I hate how palicos talk but I'm still excited to play the beta though, I'm pretty excited for the pro and noob on wilds!
Everyone might be thirsting over gemma but my sapphic a** is fully on the alma train , god she is beautiful
I too named my Palico Ember. 'Tis a good name for cats.
