For those not in the know, to put into perspective just how hard Musou Eruzerion is (arguably one of the hardest bosses in gaming, period), it took 6 months after it's debut before someone finally managed to solo kill it.
Fun fact: Howling's first solo was most likely way harder on his release than elze as the first elze kill had a cart and howling was barely possible and because of that despite releasing pre extreme style he's still very strong in endgame due to how strong they made him its honestly probably a miracle they actually soloed howling pre Z
I just want a good MMO I can play with my friends. Blue Protocol has let me down, and many others also. MH is amazing, and I would play the HECK out of a MHMMO. Might very well give MHF a try eventually
So what I have learned is. Frontier is if the already crazy anime fights of Monster Hunter were somehow even more anime. Magnet Spike is G Rank on Easy Mode. and there are still people who say Kai instead of Ki. Great Video.
to be fair to magnet spike, was added specifically to handle musou monsters which for reference are such angry motherfuckers that a zenith 4 (g rank 800) feels like a low rank monster after you get used to their fights
@@robertomacetti7069it wasn't. It was added to handle zenith monsters in the very last version so players could speed through the game before the inevitable shutdown. It never got nerfed and remains an insane overtuned stupid weapon.
Little correction about MHP3RD. It's not a port. Aside from monsters pretty much everything is original in it. Even the locales were redesigned from their tri counterparts, even those without underwater combat. Some weapon moves were also slightly tweaked. It's basically how MHFU is a completely different game than MHDos and MH1.
17:25 No he isn't arguably he literally is the hardest. There has yet to be a confirmed TRUE slay on Burning Freezing with Bow and Hammer. Its to the point Hammer mathematically genuinely cannot kill True Slay BF Eruzerion unless the person using it gets god tier rng with the moves it uses, like if you get it you're probably cheating lol.
Yeah, as someone tolerant to some of its mmo grindy elements that are for sure flaws, my biggest genuine issue is with weapon efficacy in grank, too many weapons either totally fall short in dps and effective and fun moveset design for extreme like bow hammer and hunting horn, and some more mid tier weapons like the 2 lances and bowguns fall victim of a very boring meta playstyle compared to the style, power and skill expression of gs, ls, magnet spike and tonfas. As a devout lance main it was pretty sad seeing that most runs in grank are with super boring guard heavy reflect lance rather than making up for the lackluster extreme style with classic satisfying hop dodges that sadly are less good than mh4us evade lance in a game thats much more demanding in terms of precise and constant usage. Ive succumbed to just using ls and tonfas and i cnat deny that theyre a blast and feel like the true intended experience for grank, it just sucks so many weapons werent balanced as well.
Funny because its the least monster hunter game of all of them :) its mh on overloaded unbalanced crack. Only people who dont understand mh like that one
@@ZombieMorsThe only unbalanced things in frontier is just the endgame. Meanwhile in low rank and high rank everything is pretty tame, like taikun zamuza or espinas.
@@ZombieMors what does that have to do with "not understanding mh"? sounds like you never actually played the game yourself and only saw snippets of endgame content. frontier is the most difficult game in the series but not unfair. majority of frontier is balanced, i would even argue that only the top 1% of fights are "unbalanced" but those are also not meant to be fought solo, it was an mmo afterall. The bad thing imo tho is that once you have Zenith equipment you get too strong for regular Grank monsters, but thats it. Also in terms of content the game is unmatched, from their special event quests & collabs to stuff like mezfest or tournaments. I am slowly getting tired of people trashing on the game while not knowing anything about it.
I remember literally having to sign up for a japanese banking website so I could transfer online bought codes for money just to subscribe to this game in my early teens and trying to find a free vpn to be able to even play it and Dragon's dogma online, really get a hit of nostalgia when I go back to them these days.
I remember my dad hacked my psp around 2008, I was 6 and I stumbled across Monster Hunter Freedom 2. I adored that game and played it for around 3 years along with Freedom Unite. I discovered the wiki and spent my time on it printing monster weaknesses so I can know what element to use against each monster without going on the family pc (we only had 1 and my dad and brother were also gamers). When I finally killed the White Fatalis when I was around 9 I wanted to move on to Portable 3rd. Sadly it was only in Japanese and I wasn't familiar with adding games to my psp. With time I managed to get the game and struggled with the unfamiliar language. When Tri, 3 Ultimate and eventually released, I didn't have a 3ds or a Wii to play those games, but I did have a PS3 and the wiki showed the little [NEW] icon next to Frontier G Genuine. I begged my parents to buy it off of ebay. When it arrived in the mail I was stoked and put it into my PS3. Lets just say I was very sad when I realised I couldn't play it. Now I can though so I am happy, I still have the G Genuine disc to this day. Good times, long live Monster Hunter!
The hunting road rougelike version of monster hunter sounds like it could be a really good dedicated spinoff, I love roguelikes and love monhun. Maybe they'll do something like that again :)
5:49 Actual cartoon reaction holy shit 🤣 Also banger video! I've seen quite a bit of gamplay but mostly had no idea about the actual mechanics and progression system, so this was very informative to watch. Would've like to see some of the more positive sides of Frontier being an MMO, however, like the 16 player Raviente siege and the silly events like the carnival. It definitely has piqued my interest in this game even more, so I might just figure out how to get it running in the future!
I just realized: the tonfas and magnet spike were likely heavily reworked into the insect glauve and charge blade we now know and love. Think about it, like 80% of those weapons are part of or at least very alike to the ig and cb. And it's not one to one either, there's bits and pieces from each in both.
Been playing on the rain server myself for the last year great community and it really makes me happy to be able to play Frontier. It's truly a special game.
I’ve shouted this for years now, last time we had new weapons in MH was in 4 with IG and CB.. I loved the new weapons to learn and smack monsters with. We haven’t had new weapons for 2 generations now when there are magnet spike and tonfas perfectly there that can be implemented with some creativity. I might just be a cranky MH vet though lol
Dude your story in the beginning of going throught the wiki and wanting to hunt duram and nibelsnarf but having to wait is EXACTLY how I got started too
for shantien and disufiroa fitting in mainline or not, while the visuals are a lot, the actual speed and size of the attacks are fairly in line with sunbreak's endgame and i could definitely see them as expansion final title update monsters like amatsu and fatalis
My love for Monster Hunter Frontier comes in a trifecta of an evolution of 2007 to 2019, having a bevy of monsters I want you to see reintroduced like Espinas, and having my favorite OST in the series. It’s just so.. weird. But in a good way. Sure it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but knowing that officially it’s gone, even with the private server, makes me feel a sense of fondness towards it. I understand Frontier isn’t everyone’s cup of tea or what they would define as Mobster Hunter, but for an MMO that was originally a port of Dos, seeing its history of over twelve years and its many wonderful ideas like origin species and fantastic Elder Dragons like Guanzorumu and Shantien, gives it a special place in my heart. Rest in Peace Frontier, may you never be forgotten.
you had the exact same experience as me discovering frontier way way back, but man, when i got hands in forntier last year, it was like recovering a lost part of myself, i enjoyed that game to the maximum in rain server it became my favoruite entry after world
Great video, although I prefer the experience up to G9.1 before the compression kicked in, so all of the players by that time liked to play the game for what it was, that endless grind and all, after Z expansion it all went down and that's the experience most of the community had by now... But for those willing to have the experience how it used to be, the server code now have some retro compatibility to run them, I highly recommend playing it without any of those broken courses.
started frontier 2 weeks ago, willing to play GL and run around with extreme style, my plan was to go normal shell full burst all the way. i hit a wall when i needed to upgrade my armor by killing the GR Exotic (legendary) Meriganasu, this was the fight that told me, okay boy, time to quit running around to then shell dash -> swipe -> unleash fullburst in order to stay grounded block -> poke poke poke -> block. especially since this monster agro the highest damage dealing player. so i left behind my furious lance venom to get a g rank spread sleep GL. poking monster -> getting a sleep and as an oldschool player, setting up large barrel bombs and unleashing the most vicious wyvern fire in their head. As a boomstick enjoyer, i'd say i'm not disapointed actually, the fullburst animation is sad, 6 shells, appearing as a single explosion, but wide shelling allow for quicker recovery of wyvern fire, and the animation when u load shells into the wyvern fire to make it even more powerfull is amazing, unleashing nuke into monsters faces and seeing the blue-ish smoke on the part you hit is super satisfying, also being under hyper armor while you wyvern fire is fantastic, even if sometimes cost me a cart haha ! i was a bit sad that he hunter navigation provide armor set that basically let you get through low rank / high rank like a breeze, i mean, even GR can be done with Entora armor pushed to GX.. but as i did want to play with optimal dmg as a fullburst enjoyer, i made my own set, and i'm currently struggling cuz to go to GX i need for 3 of my gears to slay GX legendary monster, my g rank weapon is level 30 and still i struggle, whereas i have all the basic of GL dmg dealing skills, Gunnery god, recoil, better sharpness and less sharpness consumption to maintain a good sharpness while out of heatblade etc~ this game is sick, but if you wanna experience a classic progression where you go for your own stuff, it will be painfull especially if you go alone, for instaace to get to the legendary g rank quest, killing Mi Ru solo, is a wall, that attack that complete destroy your stamina bar will let you in a terrible state to fight XD i had to rely on bringing every stamina boost items to get through it and it took around 40minutes, i also wonder how it's even possible without Halk pots, cuz even at 1500armor, monsters shreds, they almost all have attacks that one shot you, if u survive any, u are forced to heal to the max or u might not survive a second attack, an overall great experience, but damn i wish progression was what we are accostumed to. Hope my lil experience here will motivate some more players to join rain and enjoy the gunlance with me
Excellent video. I'm in a server to get frontier running as well. I just need to set it up first. Thanks for shedding a light on how grindy the original experience was, it really puts it in a perspective that i'm sure as hell am not going to replicate. I want the best possible experience going in. Extreme switch axe, here I come!
yea the grind is based on the old mh system where you upgrade lowrank gear to highrank ect. obviously a non lowrank monster wont need as much grind but it gets to be like 12 upgrades per half tier it's insane. thankfully you can give yourself mats with the server commands to remove the extra grind. and also let's you get access to kits that were originally paid for gear, some of it is really cool. really helps with having the freedom to try everything out
my brother, do you still have a server that I might partake in? My save got deleted from a public server around a year ago (I was G-150 :( ) but I love frontiers and would love to play again.
5:40 it was the most frustrating thing in frontier, when I was in g rank I've spend so much time making the gureadomosu's tonfas for vampirism that by the time i finished it i was gr200+ and had to make a zenith weapon to break zenith parts.
Yooo, I love to see Frontier getting some love on UA-cam! I just hit HR6 and I'm looking forward to hitting G-Rank soon! Fantastic job! I hope Frontier can gain more popularity now that it's so readily available!
Seeing more and more Frontier content makes me, but what makes me happier is capcom recycling game material from Frontier to newer games (yes rise is not mainline that's why I avoided saying so) Great video dude
Ive been enjoying myself on the Rain server for a while now !! Only Raviente is left and all will be hunted ! Love Frontier but MS pin is deffo the most broken thing ever xD Amazing video
Ive been wanting to try frontier and i never knew that it still exist kinda, mainly i just want to try the tonfa and gravity thingy i might give it a try then thanks for the vids man
I only rank Eruzerion highly because of the collab quest in Phantasy Star Online 2, which really cemented my love for it, it was such a good collab quest
I have had so much fun playing Frontier on the Rain server for the past year or so. I also tried it when you could somewhat easily access the Taiwanese servers from abroad. There is a massive difference in grind/monetization between that and the Rain server, and it made the game so much more fun. Some fights like Elzelion are just not fun, but the majority of them, even some zeniths, are quite engaging and worth the try.
I'm not entirely sure how or why the algorithm decided to show me this video from a creator with three whole videos, but I'm so glad it did! You hit the nail on the head with the "there are two types of Monster Hunter games." As someone who started with 4U and really fell in love with the series with Generations/XX, it's a concept I have been trying to describe to my friends who have only experienced World and Rise. If I hadn't just happened to be suggested this video, I never would have known that there was a Frontier fan server. So, I'm really excited to try it out for the first time and appreciate that I won't have to experience the bullshit of the vanilla version. So, thank you for this video!
A couple weeks ago I watched a multiple hour video that was "disproving all the people who say frontiers sucks." Weird that in that entire video he didnt mention the shop or the road at all. I still want to play it, but now I see why so many people hate it
it's horrible but thankfully, you can use the custom server you make to get past all of that by giving yourself items. it's what we did and made the game so much more enjoyable
After finishing the vid, I was just about to hit the sub button then I realized I was already subbed. And I thought I must've miss clicked it at same point, but no. You just hadn't uploaded in 8 months, and I've completely forgotten about this channel! Anyways. Another great vid, man. Best video explaining mh:frontier I've seen so far
Don't forget the quests that upgrade your attack and defense. You have to do that 200 +. Quest would usually involve hunting one monster multiple times just to complete one quest. Iirc, there are tickets you can purchase in the road shop that automatically complete the quest for you when you give them to the guild Master.
@@BaSeGM Yes I know :) Not many people on Rain at least mess with Musous at this point unless they do solo speedruns. At least it's very hard to get people to join up for quests for them
its great that they're adding some of the weap moves from frontier but no new weapon like maybe tonfa nor magnet spike, heck maybe prowler mode would be suffice to say the least they can do.
i still remember when G rank just came out and i had started to play the month before, to grind hunter ranks i had bought some course i can't remember the name to increase the hunter rank point gains ( duration of a month ) and that very same month was so worth to farm HR points that i literally fought only the best monster to farm those to unlock the next best monster to farm those points. The first monster was a rathian and i had about 240 kills by the time i unlocked the next best quest that was odhibatorasu and i killed that about 350 times.
Frontier is oddly my favorite even after playing alot of other mh games, its fast paced and keeping you on your toes while still being slow and methodical, in my opinion. As much as the MMO aspect of these games get tedious, i never really found myself tired, hell i played from 8am-2am for a whole month straight (i was luckily given the chance to do this) and man the memories it was fun making friends and rising our ranks till we each hit grank and went off on our own. I miss my crew i wish i texted them on discord to keep in touch more often
If I want to play with friends, and not with randoms is the rain server still worth it? We mostly like to play just together and not with other ppl, so if anyone knows that'd be appreciated!
as old 10years official sever player Claw to G rank now was like Claw to F rank back in 2013 first G patch was like the situation is so bad that almost everyone quite the game
I remember trying to play this game back in the day. I was obsessed with MH on the PS2 and needed more. You couldn’t play the JP version because your IP had to be in Japan, and this was before easily accessible VPNs. Next was Korean, which didn’t have an IP block but required you to enter a Korean SSN and after I was on Google seeing if I could get one I realized I was in way too deep and gave up lol
I have to say no matter what other people say Frontier is a monster hunter with only one issue being the massive power creep. Oh! And hunting road rules.
You know, this video actually got me kind of an itch to play the game! Just... Which server do I pick? Just for info, i'm located in EU (Italy to be precise) so I don't know if I should pick a server like Rain (has servers in US if I'm not mistaken?). Any advice anyone? Godspeed to y'all
Frontier had a lot of amazing and very fun monsters that were very reasonable tbh The absolutely over the top insane monsters were a lot more far and few It's just that those far and few are actually so over the top they feel like all you actually see from this game
New sub we have the same feeling I don't know how will I play this game before and sad that server shutdown and wish I can play it...and I have vita before thank goodness my vista stilll alive... then my friend said you can play in in a private server just join rain server. So glad I join and now playing... the style is really good specially extreme....... lance is my fave then magnet spike.
Chill on Zenith Gasura. He’s… fun 😂 (Truth be told, he is a bad matchup for Tonfas and MS-but I, a Switch Axe main, have a field day parrying his AOE claps and stomps in phase 2) Elzelion can be too when you enter a certain flow state parrying his attacks. Unfortunately, that flow state is constantly disrupted by his terrible hitboxes, like when his entire body becomes a hitbox when he’s throwing a projectile or just swiping his claws.
Quick amendment, frontier DEFINITELY has a story, a very big one at that, but a lot of it got lost as they kept the lore and stuff on their members website. They introduced new bits quite often because it was an MMO and the last thing you'd want is content draught.
That's why I like meze, it's a mix of road and farming. As a solo player it's more enjoyable to farm tech decos through hiden armors than road by far 😅
I wish the tonfa was in wilds but nerf and can do like a aerial dual blades type play style or a totally new weapon like a yo-yo like weapon I think that would be cool
For those not in the know, to put into perspective just how hard Musou Eruzerion is (arguably one of the hardest bosses in gaming, period), it took 6 months after it's debut before someone finally managed to solo kill it.
Put respect on Tomotaka's name!
I did it in a week but ok lol
@@pres002 The true slay quest, no you didn't.

Custom servers are up if you ever want to check it out!
Not dead. Check out the Rain Server. Still active just no of servers anymore.

@@SelnathornYes it does! Yukumo village! Such a cool hub. P3RD is awesome.
Hate it or love it, Frontier's Legacy is undeniable and they will be part of the mainline from now on and ill gonna love it.
Personally I love it. I really hope they bring the Tonfas in at some point
The problem is that you people glaze the hell out of it even though the game was dogshit. Just because it's part of the series doesn't change shit
When I saw longsword’s release move all I could think was “extreme style is so back”
17:25 No he isn't arguably he literally is the hardest. There has yet to be a confirmed TRUE slay on Burning Freezing with Bow and Hammer. Its to the point Hammer mathematically genuinely cannot kill True Slay BF Eruzerion unless the person using it gets god tier rng with the moves it uses, like if you get it you're probably cheating lol.
There is a bow run of elze in the rain discord speedrun channel by someone named Tomo. The video is link-only, but it is there
hbg can't too from what i heard
finally a game where is not clowning on every other weapon

this game is sick, but if you wanna experience a classic progression where you go for your own stuff, it will be painfull especially if you go alone, for instaace to get to the legendary g rank quest, killing Mi Ru solo, is a wall, that attack that complete destroy your stamina bar will let you in a terrible state to fight XD i had to rely on bringing every stamina boost items to get through it and it took around 40minutes, i also wonder how it's even possible without Halk pots, cuz even at 1500armor, monsters shreds, they almost all have attacks that one shot you, if u survive any, u are forced to heal to the max or u might not survive a second attack, an overall great experience, but damn i wish progression was what we are accostumed to.
Hope my lil experience here will motivate some more players to join rain and enjoy the gunlance with me
Excellent video. I'm in a server to get frontier running as well. I just need to set it up first. Thanks for shedding a light on how grindy the original experience was, it really puts it in a perspective that i'm sure as hell am not going to replicate. I want the best possible experience going in. Extreme switch axe, here I come!
yea the grind is based on the old mh system where you upgrade lowrank gear to highrank ect. obviously a non lowrank monster wont need as much grind but it gets to be like 12 upgrades per half tier it's insane.
thankfully you can give yourself mats with the server commands to remove the extra grind. and also let's you get access to kits that were originally paid for gear, some of it is really cool. really helps with having the freedom to try everything out
my brother, do you still have a server that I might partake in? My save got deleted from a public server around a year ago (I was G-150 :( ) but I love frontiers and would love to play again.
Mas this actually got me wanting to play Frontier since now I know about the english patch and Rain server
5:40 it was the most frustrating thing in frontier, when I was in g rank I've spend so much time making the gureadomosu's tonfas for vampirism that by the time i finished it i was gr200+ and had to make a zenith weapon to break zenith parts.
Subscriber earned, I kept hearing about the predation but nobody seemed to go in as deep with it as you did here
Yooo, I love to see Frontier getting some love on UA-cam! I just hit HR6 and I'm looking forward to hitting G-Rank soon! Fantastic job! I hope Frontier can gain more popularity now that it's so readily available!
Just hit HR6? God rest your soul, you're not coming out of that alive.
Hr5 and 6 is a nightmare
Hey, great video, thank you
Seeing more and more Frontier content makes me, but what makes me happier is capcom recycling game material from Frontier to newer games (yes rise is not mainline that's why I avoided saying so)
Great video dude
Man, I LOVE your videos
You deserve way way more visibility in the monster hunter community, I hope you'll stick around doing videos for a long time!
Great Video 😁👍
Ive been enjoying myself on the Rain server for a while now !! Only Raviente is left and all will be hunted ! Love Frontier but MS pin is deffo the most broken thing ever xD Amazing video
Ive been wanting to try frontier and i never knew that it still exist kinda, mainly i just want to try the tonfa and gravity thingy i might give it a try then thanks for the vids man
I only rank Eruzerion highly because of the collab quest in Phantasy Star Online 2, which really cemented my love for it, it was such a good collab quest
Amazing video thanks man, subscribed
I have had so much fun playing Frontier on the Rain server for the past year or so. I also tried it when you could somewhat easily access the Taiwanese servers from abroad. There is a massive difference in grind/monetization between that and the Rain server, and it made the game so much more fun. Some fights like Elzelion are just not fun, but the majority of them, even some zeniths, are quite engaging and worth the try.
I'm not entirely sure how or why the algorithm decided to show me this video from a creator with three whole videos, but I'm so glad it did! You hit the nail on the head with the "there are two types of Monster Hunter games." As someone who started with 4U and really fell in love with the series with Generations/XX, it's a concept I have been trying to describe to my friends who have only experienced World and Rise. If I hadn't just happened to be suggested this video, I never would have known that there was a Frontier fan server. So, I'm really excited to try it out for the first time and appreciate that I won't have to experience the bullshit of the vanilla version. So, thank you for this video!
A couple weeks ago I watched a multiple hour video that was "disproving all the people who say frontiers sucks."
Weird that in that entire video he didnt mention the shop or the road at all. I still want to play it, but now I see why so many people hate it
it's horrible but thankfully, you can use the custom server you make to get past all of that by giving yourself items. it's what we did and made the game so much more enjoyable
@petercottantail7850 thats cool. Is it hard or expensive to set a server up? Id like to do that, but just dont know how. Any good videos about it?
After finishing the vid, I was just about to hit the sub button then I realized I was already subbed. And I thought I must've miss clicked it at same point, but no. You just hadn't uploaded in 8 months, and I've completely forgotten about this channel!
Anyways. Another great vid, man. Best video explaining mh:frontier I've seen so far
Can you link a guide on how download the english patch ?
Don't forget the quests that upgrade your attack and defense. You have to do that 200 +. Quest would usually involve hunting one monster multiple times just to complete one quest. Iirc, there are tickets you can purchase in the road shop that automatically complete the quest for you when you give them to the guild Master.
Nice video i'm subsribing !
9:26 LMAO
that enormous dash dude
Could you share a link or something about where to find the MH frontier private server? Google is a bit confusing about it for me
Rain on dlZkord
Nice content, u need more subscribers
Played on rain before Sunbreak went live and I had a blast with the game. I was thrilled to see Espinas on a main title.
how can I play this game today?
I have played frontier for the last year and I don't place Elzelion anywhere because he dies in 10 seconds during Road runs
Try doing the musou road elze is easy af.
That's regular elzelion. Musou elzelion is one of if not the most difficult fight. Some of the weapons literally cannot true slay a musou elzelion
@@BaSeGM Yes I know :) Not many people on Rain at least mess with Musous at this point unless they do solo speedruns. At least it's very hard to get people to join up for quests for them
its great that they're adding some of the weap moves from frontier but no new weapon like maybe tonfa nor magnet spike, heck maybe prowler mode would be suffice to say the least they can do.
This IS the BEST video i ever see of Frontier
How do you download monster hunter frontier zz I always wanted to play it
where can i download this
i still remember when G rank just came out and i had started to play the month before, to grind hunter ranks i had bought some course i can't remember the name to increase the hunter rank point gains ( duration of a month ) and that very same month was so worth to farm HR points that i literally fought only the best monster to farm those to unlock the next best monster to farm those points. The first monster was a rathian and i had about 240 kills by the time i unlocked the next best quest that was odhibatorasu and i killed that about 350 times.
Frontier is oddly my favorite even after playing alot of other mh games, its fast paced and keeping you on your toes while still being slow and methodical, in my opinion. As much as the MMO aspect of these games get tedious, i never really found myself tired, hell i played from 8am-2am for a whole month straight (i was luckily given the chance to do this) and man the memories it was fun making friends and rising our ranks till we each hit grank and went off on our own. I miss my crew i wish i texted them on discord to keep in touch more often
If I want to play with friends, and not with randoms is the rain server still worth it?
We mostly like to play just together and not with other ppl, so if anyone knows that'd be appreciated!
Played Frontier when it was still online. Very underrated MMO. Genuinely great content. Love the endgame.
is this the one with 30 fps lock?
as old 10years official sever player
Claw to G rank now was like
Claw to F rank back in 2013 first G patch was like the situation is so bad that almost everyone quite the game
how can i also play the english ver of frontier ?
Rain dskord server
Ik its a common question but how/where do you get frontier?
I remember trying to play this game back in the day. I was obsessed with MH on the PS2 and needed more. You couldn’t play the JP version because your IP had to be in Japan, and this was before easily accessible VPNs. Next was Korean, which didn’t have an IP block but required you to enter a Korean SSN and after I was on Google seeing if I could get one I realized I was in way too deep and gave up lol
I genuinely feel like monster hunter should go all out, i always loved the crazy designs
I never played frontiers but the tonfa gameplay makes me really want it
Every time I hear about the weapons on Frontier I want to see them on the mainline as well as some more monsters and blights including the zenith.
Again this made me realise I like a bit more grounded MH games x,) I noticed it with Generations and Rise...tho I still play both lol
Great stuff.... I nearly asked what's your main weapon. .....BUT WHAT WILL BE YOUR SECOND?
CAPCOM, GIVE US FRONTIER'S EXCLUSIVE WEAPONS, AND MY LIVE IS YOURS!
I like the stylized roar look from these games.
great video bro, you should make a monster hunter online video
Great video, the goocoo is pleased
This video is so well-crafted, you deserve more subs. Keep it going, my dude.
I have to say no matter what other people say Frontier is a monster hunter with only one issue being the massive power creep. Oh! And hunting road rules.
Here's my question.
HOW DO I DOWNLOAD IT
now we need a video on the other monster hunter mmo
You know, this video actually got me kind of an itch to play the game! Just... Which server do I pick? Just for info, i'm located in EU (Italy to be precise) so I don't know if I should pick a server like Rain (has servers in US if I'm not mistaken?). Any advice anyone? Godspeed to y'all
Rain has routing to EU and JP. The current MHF launcher shows a lists of servers to choose from as well.
@Shadowlet ok, thx for the info m8
Shout out to you for using the GU dlc-download-page-music. One of my favorite MH tracks of all time.
Great content, I NEED more
Frontier had a lot of amazing and very fun monsters that were very reasonable tbh
The absolutely over the top insane monsters were a lot more far and few
It's just that those far and few are actually so over the top they feel like all you actually see from this game
One day I want to play frontier it looks just so cool
MAKE MORE VIDEOS AND MAKE THEM NOW! I LOVE YOUR CONTENT AND NEED MORE
New sub we have the same feeling I don't know how will I play this game before and sad that server shutdown and wish I can play it...and I have vita before thank goodness my vista stilll alive... then my friend said you can play in in a private server just join rain server. So glad I join and now playing... the style is really good specially extreme....... lance is my fave then magnet spike.
Chill on Zenith Gasura. He’s… fun 😂 (Truth be told, he is a bad matchup for Tonfas and MS-but I, a Switch Axe main, have a field day parrying his AOE claps and stomps in phase 2)
Elzelion can be too when you enter a certain flow state parrying his attacks. Unfortunately, that flow state is constantly disrupted by his terrible hitboxes, like when his entire body becomes a hitbox when he’s throwing a projectile or just swiping his claws.
I really need them what's a bring back tonfas at some point in Wilds, well.. in a more balanced form of course
Quick amendment, frontier DEFINITELY has a story, a very big one at that, but a lot of it got lost as they kept the lore and stuff on their members website. They introduced new bits quite often because it was an MMO and the last thing you'd want is content draught.
frontier is the ancient peoples that hunt kushala daora to build their structures i swear.
Damn I knew it was grindy, but this is too much. I'm no longer sad for missing out on Frontier.
Seeing this video make me want to play it, but I don't know where I have to search to play the private server
Search rain server frontier
about hunting road i play on server that has a custom Z4 hunting road
all monsters are only Z4
Woohoo another gunlance enjoyer!
Try renewal, Rain has it's own issues such as the road shop
That's why I like meze, it's a mix of road and farming. As a solo player it's more enjoyable to farm tech decos through hiden armors than road by far 😅
I miss this game so much 🥺
I wish the tonfa was in wilds but nerf and can do like a aerial dual blades type play style or a totally new weapon like a yo-yo like weapon I think that would be cool
Now I'm gonna play this insane game.
I consider Magnet Spike to be more the cousin of the Switch Axe than the Charge Blade.
