I really like the kitchen in pokke village, you start with a single felyne chef that can barely cook and slowly build up a three star michelin team in the end game.
yeah the mhfu kitchen was so good... I ate so much bad shit that always gave me bad debuffs XD, so then afterwards i looked up the recipes and never turned back on it.
nothing but Bigmeat and King Truffle for me! I used to remember all my Chefs names, but now the only ones I remember are my head Chef Emanuel, Jaques, and Kid.
I just love how the devs don't treat this game as just another day job. They really go out of their way to make it better. I've been a fan since MHFU and I look forward to more years of Monster Hunter :)
the fact that i love about MH series is that even though the series is treated with the "milking franchise through sequels" they've always strive to make better MH games, so it is really satisfying with what they ended up creating with each new releases
not the director but lead game designer. in my eyes that is even more impressive. they did such a good job with felyne village i ADORED that game. beat it 100% three times!
Hopefully we’ll get a creepy monster hunter spin off from from the lead director of bloodborne that’s focused on the creation of the equal dragon weapon
I'd say it was Vaal Hazak that took Chamy's place, being introduced with the other membera of the trio in base World. And yea I also really hope that Chameleos gets added to World, such a unique and fun monster.
Hopefully they bring back the trinity of weapons that didn't survive the transition to World; tonfa, magnet spike, and prowler. The weapons probably aren't in the World because they technically never appeared in the main games, only spinoffs. :(
I would like to get good with prowler in a new gen. I was barely passable prowler, but could complete hunts relatively reliably. The movement patterns were a bit too unorthodoxed for me to handle in a natural manner, but that's part of the fun in new weapons, yeah?
@@nikopierrot I would love to have another impact weapon. Maybe twerked tonfas would do the trick. Imagine punching a monster to death with boxing gloves. Now **that** is awesome.
Actually if I remember correctly, Dual Blades were in the original monster hunter in the west, but instead of their own thing were an upgrade from certain sword and shields. Yes an entire weapon category was hidden in another. Japan did not get them until G.
@@Kin_Shi You can argue that fact goes back even further. In the original 2004 game, there's quite a few katanas in the Great Sword trees which become Longswords proper later in the series, even if they aren't the Longsword style of fighting yet. My personal favorite example being the Divine Slasher: a black spiny blade with a red edge which you can see in Iceborne right now.
I really appreciate this channel. My sons and I got into Monster Hunter 3 years ago and its been a real obsession. Saturday night is our all night game night and we hunt and binge your vids. Its been the perfect supplement to the games themselves and all in all its been a great bonding experience and I just wanted to share. Thanks!

@@SinWeissfell You have no idea how committed weve had to be lol, I remember the old days with the petitions and the importing and fan translations and the Minegarde forums. The series was nearly cancelled for the west several times.
I hope it is because of the time I spend scripting them.

@@manbat4582 Gamefreak omitted a few hundred Pokemon for the Sword and Shield release. The great majority of fans are disgruntled if not outright pissed. The Isle of Armor expansion releases a few more missing pokemon, but still cuts players off from literal hundreds of others still. Gamefreak may sit pretty on their money and numbers now, but you can only burn your fans so many times before they walk.
@@manbat4582 OP was referring to info in the video where Capcom at one point omitted weapons in the roster, to the chagrin of their fans. Capcom fixed it from then on to not omit weapons in future gens (save for prowlers).
Considering _World_ eventually added more of the "Goofy" monster designs, I'm quite looking forward to whatever game comes next and hopefully adds a bunch of the cut monsters back in. Even some of the low tier monsters like Yian Kut-ku and Hypnocatrice I'd love to see make a return alongside the various Drones.
The issue is the lack of the skeletons. Zamtrios for example uses the toad skeleton, which is not in world as of yet. I believe new monsters will be based on existing skeletons only, could be wrong of course. (If you have no idea what i am talking about, look at narga, barioth and tigres and you will notice their structure, that skeleton was added in iceborn).
@@Phoenix-qv9hg Yeah, I wouldn't expect any particularly new skeletons to get released at this point. Chameleos might use the standard 'elder dragon' skeleton, but just doesn't fit with the game at this stage. Now that they've got these high quality rigs though, they'll be able to get into some more unique ones with their next project much easier.
Whoa nice, the chameleos one is really cool, i hope they bring it back in some kind of form where the gimmick mess with the player, could be really fun
I remember the time when Eager Cleaver and Iron Katana is a Great Sword. Then in Freedom Unite it become a long sword which is very useful to hunt a Tigrex.
I main longsword and hunting tigrex with longsword is a nightmare in mhfu. Back then, a good hunter should be able to wield different class of weapons as some weapons are bad matches for certain monsters. Fast forward now, I've been pampered so badly by foresight slash. It's really satisfying to through the attacks but at the same time, I feel it's super OP and I grew reliant to it pretty badly, it's hard for me to go back to older games. Worst of all, I haven't started mh4u and mhgu yet.. Edit: grammar
@@desmondlau1385 back in MHFU I main lance. With evade lancing you can pretty much anything and being aggresive. But still even back then LS is pretty good.
@@agentdiamond9211 that's a great idea. I've always wanted to try charge blade and insect glaive. Maybe I can start 4u with charge blade. It's embarrassing to say I'm now about 400 hours in mhw, just started iceborne and beaten barioth today, but I've never used other weapons than long sword lol
One thing I've always admired of MH is the sound design for the monsters, they're just so unique! so sad that the behind the scenes for that kind of work is so limited online, I'd love to see a video covering the design choices for the sound.
All i know is that beotodus's sounds were made by drilling in a bucket that had ice. Legianas roar was made by stock sound in one of the transformer movies
Your recent vids have all been superb, its great to see your content again but its also something really, fresh, unique and interesting. Hats off to you.
since I started with MHW, my knowledge about the classic games is VERY limited and these kinds of videos are just so delightfull to watch with all these cool information bits all around Monster Hunter that I hope this will be it's own series on this channel!
That god-damned medium bowgun in Tri. It said IN THE MANUAL that it could perform a "somersault", but I could never figure out how. Eventually I accepted it was probably a mis-translation of your run-of-the-mill forward roll.
Minor correction on this list. Dual Blades were 100% in the original Monster Hunter, They could have been added to the NA release of the game after the Japanese release, but I am POSITIVE I made and used Dual blades in The original game.
back in the old way when you can interact with your farm to make multiple steaks, have a lot of palicoes to do your farm work such as mining, mini hunt, bug catching, fishing, interact with your farm, free mining, and a lot more. It was a good day.
as someone who has played monster hunter since the beginning back in 04 and read everything i could. i am always pleasantly surprised to learn new things i didn't learn about my favorite franches thanks for this i love these types of videos :3
I love the portable team too, all of their games were my favorite monhuns, but the base team or course creates that base for them to expand upon, creating a cohesion I know many wish they could have with their teams.
I love the series so much. I started playing monster hunter on the wii. I never got far since I wasn't all to good. Years later I played freedom unite on a emulator then on my phone ! After that I bought a new 3ds only for monster hunter gen. And now only a few years later I cashed in on mhworld and mhgenultimate. This series never dissapointed me and I am so hyped for a future release.
I started playing Monster Hunter on the PSP, then quit because it was too frustrating. Once MH4U was released, strange dudes like Gaijinhunter - Foreigner Hunter - and Arreks Gaming released their guides on UA-cam, I was interested again, bought a N3DS and the game, progressed through the game to G-Rank special permit. Suddenly, MHFU wasn't so hard anymore, partly because MH4U was the first Monster Hunter game with a good tutorial and a story line.
4:15 I can't believe Gaijin would whisper Prowler and completely ignore Medium Bowgun. LOL But for real though, 3U knocked out it out of the park for me. The way the team *refines* these weapons every time is exciting and proof that they love what they do. It's like a game made by people that love to play it too. Make more, these little trivia makes me love them more!
I don't actually know what to generation to call myself (I technically started with with Tri on the wii but didn't understand a ton of it) but I've definitely played more since MHW come out. Anyway, my point is these videos are awesome and I've learned so much recently! Please continue!
And don't forget that the GS was capable of head locking monsters to death within 2 mins with continuous side-swinging and up-swinging. Also monsters didn't have a rage mode, so their attack patterns stayed the same throughout the whole fight. Fun times.
@@AngelicRequiemX they had a rage mode, though only a few monsters changed patterns. Mostly it was just a damage boost. It was lance that did the headlocking, not greatsword, though id imagine GS could do it against at least a few monsters. But consistent headlocking required the consistent damage output of a lance.
asfaik the monster already have rage back then like OG Rathalos increase his attack to a whopping 60% when enraged. pretty much that jump-fire ball'd it will be your last fire ball and yeah head locking with GS is kinda hard unless you bring another GS or lance but its not impossible to do it solo (which i cant do .-. )
@@norru9852 Yeah, I suppose Rage mode was mostly just a damage boost back then, but I never noticed it much because my friends and I just pretty much headlocked monsters all the time with GS and Lance. It made killing 50 Rathlos/Ians in order to unlock Fatalis much more tolerable. To @baval5 who said that you couldn't headlock monsters with the GS: You most definitely could, and only using 1 GS even though it was a lot easier with 2, or course. My friends and I use to do to split in 2 group on the dual Raths quest and headlock them only using 1 GS each, and the other 2 guys would just attack wherever else they felt was effective. I actually had one friend who headlocked a Gravios, which I didn't even know you could do at the time.
I've been playing since MH3 and while I knew about some of those, quite a few I'm not surprised about just never actually looked up game development stories like that o.o
Dual Blades were definitely in the original PS2 Monster Hunter in the west, but were hidden in the Sword and Shield tree. The Rath dual blades, Cephalos/Plesioth dual blades, standard metal dual blades (Cyclone), and Lao-Shan Lung dual blades were in the game just off the top of my head (though that’s probably all of them lmao). I don’t recall any of them being very good, but they were neat because many players online didn’t even know they were in the game. I’d often shock people when they saw me using them!
Before MHW came out, I didn't even know the series existed. It's cool to hear stuff about the older games which I didnt get to enjoy (or suffer through).
I started on the Wii, and followed it everywhere after that. Thank you for all your videos back in the day! I think Shepard turned me onto your channel. I used to listen to The Monster Hunter Podcast show, every episode. Which was. Listening to other people play monhun 😂
RiP medium bowguns. Also the felyne kitchen was available in the original Monster Hunter. If you go into the Town and enter your home you can eat food presented by felynes in there, and only there.
I miss medium bowgun, having the mobility of light but still being able to block. Also it was a lot of fun combining different gun parts from the different monsters. Would be nice to play as palicos again too.
3U was my first and it remains my favorite. The underwater parts were hated by most, but I thought that the use of the normally unused space was a fantastic idea. It also allowed for an amazing amount of shortcuts and the development of the leviathans. Underwater stuff has been talked about by the Breath of the Wild community for a while now and I wonder, if they do add it, will they look at MH3 for inspiration.
You really got me with that! I didnt even know a single one exactly (like the weapons ups and downs, i just knew a bit about that). And i didnt even have a clue about the others ^^°
I almost forgot Felyne Village existed, even though I've played the one on the PSP. I think there's also a new one on the 3DS but of course, japan-only. I feel its gameplay got simplified and carried over into the form of MH4U's meownster hunters (and Gen/U went full on the felyne concept by making felyne entirely playable anyway, so I guess the series lost its point). I sure hope just like how felynes grew into prowler, they find a way to implement their other spinoffs into the mainline game. *cough* Stories *cough*
I definitely didn't know about Chameleos chat disable. I genuinely thought it was a bug. The other one I didn't know is about From Software makin a child version of MH, that's surprising to me considering their games!
The Palico game is so cute!!! Also I’ve played DB a lot and I started in 4U but I almost bought 3 before that came out because I had a few friends playing. Funnily enough now I’m thinking damn I came into the series at the optimal moment.
I like how the few about G versions (Ultimate to us in the West) are that they were created because the team kept making more stuff to the point that they decided just to do an extended version of the games lol
As someone who is in the process of become a professional historian (2 more years till my PhD if all goes well!) I always love seeing little tidbits of history from long-standing gaming franchises. I think this is one of the best ways for the older hunters to fulfill a niche for newer hunters getting into the franchise. I’d love to see more stuff like this.
Honestly the switch to the Wii (no puns intended) was probably one of the best decisions for MH3. The fact that they could use the controllers of the Wii in such a different way compared to a normal gamepad opened up a LOT of utility that was especially useful in underwater combat. They put a big emphasis on tilt controls on the Wii, where you could ascend and descend while swimming with the same button press and either pointing your controller up or down. It was ridiculously intuitive and probably the reason the underwater combat in MH3U (for the 3DS with a normal gamepad) felt clunky as all hell. I really wish we'd get some of the underwater movement fixed up and properly implemented, because to me the underwater biome was probably the most awesome thing that I've seen in Monster Hunter so far.
You should read mh frontier dev blogs (i don't have the links at hand.) since you can read japanese, there's a lot of interesting stuff. like the mantle/booster was planed to be in frontier back around 2014-15 but they droped the idea until mhw.
I really like the kitchen in pokke village, you start with a single felyne chef that can barely cook and slowly build up a three star michelin team in the end game.

Pro Cow haha yeah not really a blowgun user I’m afraid, usually stick to hh or hammer.
I liked the medium bowgun in Tri, I was sad when they removed it in the next game.
Man I miss the Chameleos so much. Namielle has taken the spot for best Elder dragon for me. But I really hope Chameleos can be added into World.
I loved so much using the armor set and the insect glaive in mh4U. All made of chameleos parts and painted black.
Chameleos has the most personality of the Elders. Miss him :(

Also monsters didn't have a rage mode, so their attack patterns stayed the same throughout the whole fight.
Fun times.
@@AngelicRequiemX they had a rage mode, though only a few monsters changed patterns. Mostly it was just a damage boost.
It was lance that did the headlocking, not greatsword, though id imagine GS could do it against at least a few monsters. But consistent headlocking required the consistent damage output of a lance.
asfaik the monster already have rage back then
like OG Rathalos increase his attack to a whopping 60% when enraged. pretty much that jump-fire ball'd it will be your last fire ball
and yeah head locking with GS is kinda hard unless you bring another GS or lance but its not impossible to do it solo (which i cant do .-. )
@@norru9852 Yeah, I suppose Rage mode was mostly just a damage boost back then, but I never noticed it much because my friends and I just pretty much headlocked monsters all the time with GS and Lance. It made killing 50 Rathlos/Ians in order to unlock Fatalis much more tolerable.
To @baval5 who said that you couldn't headlock monsters with the GS: You most definitely could, and only using 1 GS even though it was a lot easier with 2, or course. My friends and I use to do to split in 2 group on the dual Raths quest and headlock them only using 1 GS each, and the other 2 guys would just attack wherever else they felt was effective.
I actually had one friend who headlocked a Gravios, which I didn't even know you could do at the time.
@@AngelicRequiemX Besides attack boost, the monsters also had speed boost aswell!
Definitely make this as a series. It was fun knowing the history of monster hunter series!
This was super fun to watch I never knew any of this
I've been playing since MH3 and while I knew about some of those, quite a few I'm not surprised about just never actually looked up game development stories like that o.o
Dual Blades were definitely in the original PS2 Monster Hunter in the west, but were hidden in the Sword and Shield tree. The Rath dual blades, Cephalos/Plesioth dual blades, standard metal dual blades (Cyclone), and Lao-Shan Lung dual blades were in the game just off the top of my head (though that’s probably all of them lmao).
I don’t recall any of them being very good, but they were neat because many players online didn’t even know they were in the game. I’d often shock people when they saw me using them!
Am I the only one missing having to manage the farm ? You know, cultivate your honey, your ore, plants etc...I actually enjoyed this very much.
I miss medium bowguns so much. And being able to make basically custom guns was just ridiculously fun.
This was dope
Its cool that you make Videos so frequently again
I had completely forgotten about medium bowgun from mh3. The system was kinda fun you could mix bowgun parts to get what you want.
I'm loving these videos, it's great and perfectly bite sized!
pls continue the series! its really interesting to hear these facts :O
Before MHW came out, I didn't even know the series existed. It's cool to hear stuff about the older games which I didnt get to enjoy (or suffer through).
I started on the Wii, and followed it everywhere after that. Thank you for all your videos back in the day! I think Shepard turned me onto your channel. I used to listen to The Monster Hunter Podcast show, every episode. Which was. Listening to other people play monhun 😂
Thx for all the awesome content gaijin!
i like how the Gs were made because they planned to add a little bit to the original, but ended up adding bigger bits instead
RiP medium bowguns.
Also the felyne kitchen was available in the original Monster Hunter. If you go into the Town and enter your home you can eat food presented by felynes in there, and only there.
Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village: the Dark Souls of all the Monster Hunter games!
Wonder if messing around with chat or something similar would make chameleous a good siege hunt. Though I guess they'd really have to change it up
I miss medium bowgun, having the mobility of light but still being able to block. Also it was a lot of fun combining different gun parts from the different monsters. Would be nice to play as palicos again too.
As a player who is totally new to the series, I love stories about the history of the game and the other titles in the series.
3U was my first and it remains my favorite. The underwater parts were hated by most, but I thought that the use of the normally unused space was a fantastic idea. It also allowed for an amazing amount of shortcuts and the development of the leviathans.
Underwater stuff has been talked about by the Breath of the Wild community for a while now and I wonder, if they do add it, will they look at MH3 for inspiration.
I loved this!! Would love more like this one
You really got me with that! I didnt even know a single one exactly (like the weapons ups and downs, i just knew a bit about that). And i didnt even have a clue about the others ^^°
I almost forgot Felyne Village existed, even though I've played the one on the PSP. I think there's also a new one on the 3DS but of course, japan-only. I feel its gameplay got simplified and carried over into the form of MH4U's meownster hunters (and Gen/U went full on the felyne concept by making felyne entirely playable anyway, so I guess the series lost its point).
I sure hope just like how felynes grew into prowler, they find a way to implement their other spinoffs into the mainline game. *cough* Stories *cough*
Loved this video, Gaijin. I really like to learn more about these curiosities, fun and mysterious facts about the games.
I really hope they bring back the expanded palico system and prowlers
What a fun video! This was a great watch!
I definitely didn't know about Chameleos chat disable. I genuinely thought it was a bug. The other one I didn't know is about From Software makin a child version of MH, that's surprising to me considering their games!
Love the amount of content on the channel recently 😊
Fantastic video. I would love to see more of these in future.
LOVED THIS please make it a series if possible. history lessons with gaijin
Love this! Please do more!:)
The Palico game is so cute!!! Also I’ve played DB a lot and I started in 4U but I almost bought 3 before that came out because I had a few friends playing. Funnily enough now I’m thinking damn I came into the series at the optimal moment.
Woah. Didn't know this stuff :) great video man
These are really interesting stuff, I would love to see more like this.
I like how the few about G versions (Ultimate to us in the West) are that they were created because the team kept making more stuff to the point that they decided just to do an extended version of the games lol
I never realized exactly how/when some of my favorite weapons got new mechanics! This is really cool stuff!
I like this kind of thing my guy, a series could be cool
Cool video . You should do 10 things you didnt know about MH monsters.
Never knew that about the chameleon disabling the chat, it's an interesting idea, but would be very confusing
Love these videos! So many interesting tidbits on one of my favorite franchises.
PORTABLE TEAM, PLS COME BACK ToT
As someone who is in the process of become a professional historian (2 more years till my PhD if all goes well!) I always love seeing little tidbits of history from long-standing gaming franchises. I think this is one of the best ways for the older hunters to fulfill a niche for newer hunters getting into the franchise. I’d love to see more stuff like this.
I kind of miss the customizable bowgun from tri. Was a lot of fun to play around with.
this is awesome you should do more stuff like this!!
Loving the video 🙏 please more :D
Honestly the switch to the Wii (no puns intended) was probably one of the best decisions for MH3. The fact that they could use the controllers of the Wii in such a different way compared to a normal gamepad opened up a LOT of utility that was especially useful in underwater combat. They put a big emphasis on tilt controls on the Wii, where you could ascend and descend while swimming with the same button press and either pointing your controller up or down. It was ridiculously intuitive and probably the reason the underwater combat in MH3U (for the 3DS with a normal gamepad) felt clunky as all hell. I really wish we'd get some of the underwater movement fixed up and properly implemented, because to me the underwater biome was probably the most awesome thing that I've seen in Monster Hunter so far.
Good ol' times when i needed to upgrade my SnS to a Dual Blades back in MH1... I really miss gradios ultimus
having started in world, it's really cool to know stuff like this! good video :)
You should read mh frontier dev blogs (i don't have the links at hand.) since you can read japanese, there's a lot of interesting stuff. like the mantle/booster was planed to be in frontier back around 2014-15 but they droped the idea until mhw.
These facts are all new for me! Thanks for sharing :)
