Josh in the comments a few episodes ago: I totally pay attention to the story when I blast through the text. Cotton in this video: I'm bout to end this man's whole career.
Id play that too. But one art style i would want to see at some point in stories 3/4/5 or whenever would be the style they used for some of the cutscenes in mhst1 where it was simply way more detailed like when chevals house mom gets killed/ "the looming nightmare" cutscene. all they'd have to do is fix the faces and make it a bit sharper and id be all about it.
Sameee. I also love the idea of having past riders mentioned. The only problem is that it would have to be thier canon names, not our very creative names we choose
Thanks to Monster Hunter Stories 2 I'm now hard on a "Pokémon but different" roll. Monster Sanctuary is really good at scratching that itch. From Monster Hunter Pokémon to Pokémon Metroid.
Orgo's designed to look like a romanticized Yakuza Boss. The bandage wrapped around his waist is called a Sarashi and is basically Samurai Under Armor. The Hand in the Kimono is a Japanese cultural thing that guys just do, like sticking your hands in your pockets.
Love these stories videos,who's excited for the August update?Hellblade glavenus and Boltreaver astalos are going to be fine additions to the monstie roster for sure
I already got two pages worth of Thunder monsters ready and the numbers are growing daily. Boltreaver will be ready to carry its weight in gold in no time
@@SinWeissfell i hope so, I feel super unoriginal using rajang because it’s so obvious that he’s strong also the fact that monstie rajang is mega slow compared to the monster version annoys me
@@gruggedup9083 Yeah, Ive been avoiding even hatching Rajang because I was afraid of its stats. Truthfully I would probably use Astalos over him regardless though since the game isn't hard enough to warrant min maxing to THAT degree and I'm not the biggest fan of monke
" This is my Kyle " So...Tsukino is actually Kyle's rider and Kyle is the monstie... Oh and by the way, french guy here, there are dishes of meat cooked in their own skin, It's called a Roti de porc et sa couenne
Orgo is referencing a Japanese tough guy trope called Banchō, often characterized with a open jacket with bandages underneath instead of a shirt. They also often have a piece of grass in their mouth (Orgo's cigar twig) and tuck in one hand like that because it "looks tough".
i'd call the act of a creature/person who wears the skin/pelt of it's own species an egodermia, ego being of the self and derma being skin, as in dermus.
i love that when josh is a little loud you can hear his voice playback on cottons side. i also love that it almost always sounds like one of those seagulls from finding nemo
So for a bit of an answer to Cotton's food question, there's a Japanese dish called Oyakodon which while it doesn't refer directly to the ingredients which are chicken and egg it refers to them being parent and child if that makes sense. I believe if I'm not being incredibly stupid the Oya = Parent and the ko = child, so maybe this will sate your want for interesting dishes using the same animal twice.
I think it's Cotton's mic picking up Josh's voice from their call, but I'm not too sure. Of course, that would only happen if Cotton wasn't using a headset
Really looking forward to Josh & Cotton's reactions to the two big story reveals (both in the same scene) that will probably be happening in the next episode.
@@Klnkykoala good question. Necromancy is romancing dead people, necrophilia is banging dead people. So my thought was cannibals that wear the skins of their own kind.
So according to what Navirou told us about his first meeting with Sarge, he already looked as weird as he does BEFORE getting involved with Manelger. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense, since the way Navirou looks is both _restricted to_ and _a defining trait of_ the Felynes who were experimented on by Manelger… UNLESS Manelger specifically chose them because of how they looked.
I’d imagine that most meals consisting of innards served in the stomach of an animal isn’t appealing at all to many people, but there are those with iron guts.

I was happy to hear Cotton discuss that Kyle is on watch until he shows changes in behavior. Anyone who takes a baby dragon from me based on some bull crap is going to get thrashed and thrown in one of those pits.
@@wtf_is_this_handle_shit don't say that😥. He was in gem u and there wasn't under water combat either so.... maybe he will be Bach at some point. Who knows.
@@simonwindolph1407 I never said that was a bad thing. I love Lagiacrus, but without underwater combat, it just feels disappointing. Stories is a great middleground, because it doesn't matter if it's underwater. If I'm wrong, then I'm happy about that, but I don't mind if I'm right
Fun fact. Sarge with his hand in his shirt like thats is a iconic pose. Napoleon and George Washington both have paintings of them doing it. An that pose is supposedly a part of the Free Masons Society as some kind of symbolic/ritualistic meaning.
Stories 2 added a lot of improvements, but the one I liked the most was the durability of monsters and the time it took to finish boss fights. In the past you would barely prepare a little too much and humiliate the Boss in 95 different languages, in this game it can even be made easier but it will still take time
I have to wonder if something was lost in translation in the line where Ena says monsters may be connected to the pits. I mean was there anyone in the game who claimed there was no connection?
Humans wearing the skins of their victims was a thing outside of the depravity of social deviants: in ancient times, the Scythians were said to wear the tanned hides of those they slew in battle.
You were really confused cuz necrophila is having sexual desires for a corpse which is gross. Maybe you were actually thinking of vore which is the desire to be canonicalize for sexual gratification or to cannibalize someone for the same reason. People have some fucked up and very questionable likes.
Wait, what? I always thought navirou was made into such a disgusting abomination by manelger's experiments. You're telling me he already looked like that way before?
“What do you call a creature that wears its own kind as clothing or armor?”
Normally I just call it a Cubone. Orphan also works.
And when it evolves that skull becomes permanently welded to its head forever, yup definitely just "for kids".

I would legitimately play a mainline MH game with Stories 2's art style. Love the vibrant colors and the monsties look.
Id play that too. But one art style i would want to see at some point in stories 3/4/5 or whenever would be the style they used for some of the cutscenes in mhst1 where it was simply way more detailed like when chevals house mom gets killed/ "the looming nightmare" cutscene. all they'd have to do is fix the faces and make it a bit sharper and id be all about it.
I’d like to see a main line game that actually has Riders referenced
Me too, but that's mostly because it would be a new MH game.
Mainline Monster Hunter is already pretty vibrant and colorfull
Sameee. I also love the idea of having past riders mentioned. The only problem is that it would have to be thier canon names, not our very creative names we choose

could it be referenced to samurai like keeping dominant hand in pocket to show no intent to draw the sword so on?
Thank you
Auron did a similar thing in Final Fantasy X. Isn't a certain hand to represent the failing of a master?
