the developers actually confirmed what G stands for in an interview.
basically, it stands for every positive word starting with G. good, great, godly, godlike, glory, etc.
Hey, welcome to my channel! You're correct. We briefly touch on that as a general consensus, but I believe the developers did mention it.
Wait, the G in the names doesn't mean G-rank?
@@fredleoplayer the G in G rank and the G games means the same

I still remember how i got time out on "Basic: Finding Raw Meat" quest.
Never forget.
I tried to deliver normal herbs instead of mountain herbs
I use that quest to get free well done steak to sell and get my own split
And I still remember the MHFU quest asking you to bring back 2 Popo tongues... I have nightmares of it
I remember not finding the place I have to put them into. Also, I played the German Version and they had everything in German except Item and Weapon names. They were in English :D
it's like watch History Channel but Monster Hunter!! i like it
I know petting the poogie doesn’t bring good luck. I pet him every time I get back from a quest and I got two gems when I need a single fang
My friends and I called it rubbing pork. I got everyone to do it before every quest for luck.
I’ve been petting the poogie for drops for 13years and I will never stop
This is the wave
I remember hearing some lore related stuff about the Hero of Kokoto and how he fought that Monoblos for 7 days straight.
How I imagined that fight is,the chief had red sharpness and no wet stones left so he smacked the monoblos for 7 days,constantly bouncing off untill he finally managed to chip down its health to 0 xD
When you said "green plesioth , that sono of a b ".
Sublime
This video is polished af. Can't wait for the next ones!

Monster hunter frontier is the japanese online mh game that derived from monster hunter 2 dos,the chinese game is a seperate game called monster hunter online which was built from cry engine 3 but mimics generation 2 mh physics.
Good points. I'll be sure to distinguish and delve into both when I get to them in the series.
@@SuperRADLemon banned lagiacrus' twitter is a good source for frontier information, he's covered basically all of it, so I recommend checking out his moments page when researching frontier, he's got 44 threads on frontier's history, covering all of frontier.
"Brief" 21 minutes, and part 1.
Jokes aside, solid video.
I can def see a bit of irony in that title. I feel like a really deep history of the series could be hours of content though. Thanks for watching!
@@SuperRADLemon Thanks for making it! Hopefully the wait for part two is...brief.
I started the series at 3U 6 years ago, this gives me such nostalgia

I had a different run myself. I've been with the game since it was reworked into a PsP game with Monster Hunter 1 for PsP. Originally, my friends wanted me to pick it up and join them on hunting, I thought I would just do it myself but they insisting on doing it in a group. When I got it, first off, it wasn't long before they went straight into MH2 before they ever raised their Hunter Rank once in MH1, I ended up figuring out how to unlock the rest of the Guild Hall quest and was the only one to make it to G rank in the first game (then that PsP had the memory stick in it stole out of the break room at my work place). So I joined them late to MH2 but they hadn't increase their hunter rank yet... but everytime I wanted to hunt with them, they each 'already hunted what I wanted to hunt' or 'were done hunting for the day'. I ended up doing hunts solo and ended up going higher in rank than them.
Its actually a game of multiple worlds really and that's the true beauty and genius of Monster Hunter. The group and solo hunting worlds are like two different games in one, yes in a group you have others that can help you to understand, but I feel I truly feel the essence of the game walking both worlds (group and solo). It's awesome basking in the glow of something 5 times your size falling to the ground by your blade alone, but even that doesn't take away the splendor of doing it as a team... you still feel powerful in both cases.
Main weapons- LS/DB/IG
Main play weapons- GS/GL/CB
The intro is pretty much the how i got into Monster Hunter. Found a collectors edition of Monster Hunter Tri and thought "Wow, this game looks interesting", but did not understand how to play it at all and stopped. I did give it a second go when Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate came out and i have loved the franchise ever since.
You're like me. It took me *years* to get into the game. I was playing FU on the Vita solo, lol.
I could only play the game after the Vita introduced remapping of buttons so I could move camera control to the left stick.
I had literally no idea how to craft, that weapons needed sharpening, how to apply buffs to arrows etc etc. I just played until I slowly figured everything out.
Petting the poogie may not increase luck, but it sure increases my happiness.
Don't believe him, next he'll probably say holding down and B on the Gameboy doesn't increase the chance of catching a Pokemon D=
(yes I'm kidding)
imma watch all these parts, I love the series and can't wait to learn more about it through you 💜
Thank you, hopefully I can keep the content accurate and entertaining :)
Great content and well put together. Thank you for dedicating time to share some the series' rich history.
Looking forward to the next few parts.
No problem. Even with MHW being as popular as it is, a lot of the newer players don't know much about the series past.
I have never subscribed so quickly to a channel. Great video, can't wait for part 2
Welcome aboard! I appreciate the support!
A very well put together video.
Really enjoyed it 😊
Such a pleasant editing! I love it my dude
Thank you so much!! 😭 The editing and recording really does take forever. Especially the gameplay footage.
Hey I've recently gotten into MHW and the game has me totally hooked into learning abt the series. Looking forward to exploring the channel and learning more about Monster Hunter
Monster Hunter Tri was actually the first Monster Hunter game to break 1 million sales outside Japan, despite being drastically overall lower sales than Unite, and was really the turning point that showed capcom that, yes, there is an actual audience for the game globally. Then there was the unfortunate portable 3rd incident immediately afterward.
Hey, welcome to the channel! While Tri and 3U were definitely popular, I believe it was 4U to first break 1 million sales as an individual series in the west, with Tri and 3U following afterward. I received this information from a few online articles, so if you have differing proof, I might be able to amend any mistakes in a future video!
Thank you for making this video, my favorite game franchise.
Thank you for watching!!
I definitely had a similar experience. Some brief time spent on the earlier games, but it was Tri that really got its hooks dug in me.
I saw the video and then looked at how many subscribers you had before subscribing myself. I was surprised frankly. Based on the quality I expected you to have tens of thousands
Lmao well maybe someday
I am now playing MHR and got my friend into getting a copy. It is his first MH and I am happy to have found this as a way of explaining how crazy different were back when I started in MHF and went on to MHFU. This also got me wondering how it all started as well since I only randomly knew about it from a buddy into Japanese culture at the time. Thank you for the encyclopedic catalogue of how the series has changed and grown.
Thanks for the informative video. Seeing the online area in the first MH was new for me.
Glad it was helpful! You'll like my next video coming out tomorrow as it delves further into that concept.
Started with Tri and absolutely fell in love with the series
If anyone still wants to play MHF, MHFU or MHP3rd online you can do it through HunsterVerse, it only works through the PPSSPP emulater on PC but you can transfer your PSP or PSVita MH saves to your computer and transfer them back later once you've had your fill
Might do this for P3rd
(Sorry for the long read)
When Fatalis got announced for Iceborne it made me want to go fight him in the old world as a kind of challenge to myself to earn the right to fight the new one, so I bought MHF for my PSVita and started my journey to G rank, I made it through all the Village quests and up to high rank in the Guild quests before the grind really took its toll on me, there were a couple quests where I only barely passed before time expired and at that point I thought that there must be some way I can play this online.
At first I tried ad-hoc party on PS3 with a guy I met on the gathering hall discord who wanted to play MHF online too but we had no luck with it, I don't know if the servers had been shutdown or what but we could not get it working, after that he told me about something called X-link Kai which I didn't really understand and apparently I would need a special adapter that could be pretty hard to get.
So I kept searching and that's when another guy on the gathering hall discord told me about HunsterVerse, I looked it up and although the website looked a little dodgy I went through the step by step and it was actually really easy to set up, I had more trouble setting up PPSSPP and MHF since I wasn't familiar with game emulation, once I was all done I connected to HunsterVerse and loaded the game and headed to the gathering hall and there I saw... a name in the corner of my screen... another player, not an NPC but an actual person, so I started a quest and they joined and their character appeared next to me and it was glorious, the will to hunt grew inside me then and my journey to G rank continued.
For the next week or so the hunts got easier and I started preparing for Fatalis by improving my armour and weapons and stockpiling supplies, I'd also met a few different people and exchanged guild cards with them, the player base is small for MHF but there are a dedicated few who like to help those who need it including a Spanish guy who didn't really talk in the HunsterVerse discord but was incredibly helpful nonetheless, he helped me repel Lao to get into G rank and it was after that when I saw it, THE FATALIS QUEST, I wasn't expecting to see it so soon but there it was right in front of me, I of course dove straight in to test the waters, I could feel the might of the beast as he flew down and into Castle Schrade and then... he... wiggled at me and the sheer force of his toe bumping my leg killed me instantly.
So back to preparation I went, I made some decent G rank gear to help me survive some of Fatalis' attacks and also to keep my Sharpness skill, i also went to the desert to mine for an ancient stone that could be forged into the worn blades that I could upgrade into the Eternal Schism which I'd heard were really good for fighting Fatalis, then the day before Fatalis' Iceborne release I got a team together off of the HunsterVerse discord, there were 3 of us with dual blades who were all there for our first Fatalis kill and one veteran who came along to paralyse Fatalis with his bowgun to give us openings to get some good hits in, the fight was tough, Fatalis was brutal and tanky, it was dodge or die with most of his attacks even with G rank gear, we also had to resupply our gunner every so often since he could only carry so much ammo.
9 tries and 4 hours later we were weary, we'd used 2 faints and were about 30 minutes in when one of us was stuck against the wall and was about to get wiggled HARD when suddenly those words appeared on screen "You won the battle!" we... we did it, I was so caught in the moment that I missed 2 of the 9 carves but it was over, the beast was slain, the world was saved, for another day at least, there was about an hour or so until Iceborne Fatalis' release but it could wait until tomorrow, it was late, we were tired and we had earned our rest.
I’ve been playing since 04, and while it wasn’t by any means an easy experience (I was 11, took me 3 months to beat the Kut Ku on my own), the challenge and rewarding feeling of beating a monster kept me hooked. By far my favorite video game series, stoked to give these videos a watch
Very high quality video. Wow, if you keep this up, this channel is going to explode with subs. You just need that one video that gets your channel exposure
Challenge accepted
Thank you for this !
No worries!
Ok, 1 minute in and I just gotta say, for a channel as small as yours, your editing, audio quality, and layouts are very impressive!
Thank you!!
I should be thanking you 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 with Rise announced Im losing my mind and was needing some top notch content to watch, and yours might be my favorite of the MH UA-cam community!
@@SynysterProjects I hope you enjoy all the videos! The frontier ones I'm making now are particularly interesting :)
@@SuperRADLemon oh for sure, I am! The Monstie Hunter ones at least lol tho I'll probably check out your other videos at some point too.
I played freedom unites demo on psp back when It released. Always wanted it but didn't ever get it. Didn't really get into it until world. But when I saw world was coming I knew I was finally getting into this series. I always knew it'd be a series I'd love too
I feel like you might take the helm for the next generation of Monster hunters and I’m so happy it’s you
That's a very kind comment, thank you!!
I’m really exited for this year sequels to my two favorite games monster hunter rise and hollow knight silksong
Fun trivia! Red KHezu is actually a NORMAL khezu. THe ones we usually fight are the oddballs because they're albino.
Iceborne hit 20 million copies sold!! Let's go!!
Damn, your intro to Monster Hunter sounds like mine with World. I picked it up, didn't "get it", and it wasn't until recently, (a few weeks ago, in fact), that I decided to give it another try. And Lo and behold, now I've sunk over 100 hours into it.
I may be a new worlder, but I still love the series, the old monsters and the lore. I may not have beaten nergigante in base world (I’m a noob I get it) but I’m still excited for Rise and get back into the series.
Just found these and can't wait to get to Gen 3!
I love old classic Monster Hunter. The more slow and grounded pace without the flashy anime stuff. I really liked gathering material in nature, though I admit that it's a huge waste of time. But it made the world feel more alive.
But those first games were so god damn clunky. In MHF you get a tiny box and with tiny stack limits. Super frustrating going back.
And I love how fucking strong SnS was in MHF. You could make another series looking at details like these.
Awesome video 🙏🏼
Thanks!
I never left comment usually but i want you to be more known because you know... You're doing content with great quality.
Great series, all of your videos are really great ( i saw everything until the great sword ), I discovered a lot of thing as i only played Mh4U/Gu and World/Iceborne ( i happen to love the series after i played world)
I hope you continue to do more of these, it's very interesting
I appreciate that!
Nostalgia is hitting me so hard :')
My first contact with this series was the demo of monster hunter ps2, that capcom put inside "Devil May Cry 3" case. At first look I thought it was cool, but I was not so sure about it. Maybe it wasn't the game for me. Few months later I went to my local shop and found by accident an used copy of monster hunter and I bought it. Probably the best choice of my gamer "career".
I finished the game solo, unfortunately didn't play it online, it was impossible, no internet at the time :( , so had no possibility to fight big guys like fatalis or kirin.
But one day capcom did the miracle, releasing mh freedom for PSP. Talked to two of my friends and explained them why I was so excited and convinced them buying a Psp just for this. We lost entire afternoons playing this, mhf2 and unite, so much fun.
But short after I lost sight of my friends, you know, you grow up, different schools...
It was probably the worst period of my life, feeling lonely, went through depression, really sad times. I was too introvert and struggling having any kind of relationship.
Then I had the luck to know a group of friends, huge fans of the series and I started playing with them. Finally I was happy again. We played together all the upcoming mh games, from mh3u to mh world, and now Rise.
Monster Hunter helped me going through adolescence, depression, helped me with making new friends and still is nowadays an important part of my life. Can sound stupid but I will always be grateful to Capcom for this series.
I've been playing Monster Hunter since the start (I was roughly 11 when the first one came out) & have yet to find video game series more fun than this one.
Hey, thats Flyann! Thats sick!
That's my boy. Check out this vid of his we did: ua-cam.com/video/c9s2Q6xMiq0/v-deo.html
@@SuperRADLemon thats awesome!!
I fondly remember MHF, except I think I permanently changed my left index finger playing it
14:37 you can see that it says G級 and G級 is the highest level of quests. That's also why it's called G in my country.
I started with MH 4 on 3ds, but gave up after hours and hours of fighting the one dallmudar. as after beating the story, you had to kill that to get to the elder hall. Every time I fought it, I ran out of time, no matter how hard I tried to optimize the fight, I used the strongest weapons and armor available but I couldnt beat it, it was impossible. I remember taking out the fatalis, frenzied sergious, rajang, even the hard diablos with relative ease. I got all the equipment available, but the dallmudar was just next level.
lmao rip. He's tough!
I'm so glad that the footage I took years and years ago of the whole Minegarde town is useful for someone :'D
I only regret not having recorded all the original music, instead putting some Linkin Park on it as it was popular in those times on UA-cam.
Anyway, nice and well detailed video ;)
Thank you for posting it! I really hope you don't mind me using it, it was incredibly helpful!
@@SuperRADLemon no problem at all man, I'm happy to have helped! And thanks for the credit :)
@@Zaitor np!
Wait you mean the Linkin Park track wasn’t in the original game? My disappointment is immeasurable...
My first monster hunter game was also on the psp, tigrex was my introduction into the series and I didn't like the game at first because of the slow gameplay and frustrating mechanic but almost 10 years later I played MH3U and then with MHU4 I was hooked sinking in over 1500hrs plus.
Ahh good old days. I started at MH1 to MHF and that game is literally going to teach you how to become a hunter. Not just monster hunting, but survival. It's literally going to ask you to use logic and tactics, or else you'll fail the quest. I will NEVER forget those hard quests such as bring a sootstone ore, or bring a wyvern egg.. It ain't those wyverns the problem. It's those annoying bullfangos, 3 primary colored raptors, and large insects, FFS! So far my most memorable and challenging quest is that "Troublesome Pair" especially as just a Hunter rank 1 with low level gears. I literally used everything I learned to beat that quest that took me 10 or more tries...
Great video!
Thanks and welcome to the channel!!
I remember when I killed my first Rathalos in Freedom, pretty much got me hooked right away.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I enjoyed the first game even though I never beat it.
I also have not played any of the games since the 1st one.
OG Monster Hunter ps2 player here, Wheres the rest of my OG's at?
Aha yes more of this plz amazing
0:34 yeah that's pretty much what we all felt playing this lol
Honestly being someone that was both introduced to Portable 3rd and FU at the same time I always preferred Portable 3rd over FU. Not because it was easier, but because the health bars instantly depleted to where it was meant to be, while FU had this gradual depletion throughout your recovery period which really threw me out of whack
Rathalos would also eventually end up becoming the flagship monster for the series as well
15:03 what is the name of the ost at this part? I heard this many times before but forgot its name
My head canon was the G stood for “god.” G rank being “god” rank.
Good shit, man.
Thanks!
MHFU my first game, i remember myself being some kind perfectionist that if i cart once in quest i quit except fatalis fight.
that was like when i am 12.
Now that i played MHW, carting doesnt bother me anymore.I dont have that patient like i was a kid where i restart the fight if i fall
Good work boi
I tried
I remember been given my first MH game, (MH3) from my grandfather almost ten years ago, and I had no idea how to even play the damn game, so I left it on the shelf for two years. But after hearing the news about MH3G and how the series is impacting the world at that time, I decided to give it a second try (not an intentional joke, I swear) and after slaying my first Great Jaggi in the arena, I felt something that I thought I would never feel until that part... Satisfaction. Once that was done, I slew the Qurupeco and Barroth in the arena as well and quickly started my save file. That game was the shit back in the day.
Some things could've been paraphrased better, there's a few sentences that were taken straight from the fandom wiki (I wrote those so it felt especially weird :p), but still way better researched than any other videos I've watched, great work!
Hmm, I try to make it known I pull info from the wiki, but def don't try to phrase it word for word, I'll work on that for sure. I believe you'll find the other vids in the series better. Thanks for watching!
0:41 nice armor XD
I have a question i Play Monster Hunter for the Ps2 Back but i never have the Lao-Shan-lung in the Village the Last Village quest was Rathian and Rathalos in the swamp are you sure he was an offline Monster?
Can you timestamp the point you're referencing
@@SuperRADLemon at 7:00+ you say Kirin and Fatalis are online only in the original Monster Hunter for Ps2 but i never Meet Lao-shan-lung in the Village.
That poor Poogi in that commercial 😢
This was my very first psp game and oh my it was in Japanese which I didn't understood still progressed through game clueless just doing contracts. Later I got it in English version couldn't pass through chameleos contract.
Thank you mom and dad
my first was on ps2... yea seing man ,large sword ,face a giant dragon....
Tried FU got in on 4U learned my charge blade and never looked back
Lao Shan Lung was also online only - no elder dragons are available in the offline mode sadly :')
Actually. after the 5star villiage quest, Urgent quest #6 Giant Wyvern Invasion Protect the Fortress from the Lao Shen Lung. You had to finish all other Villiage Quest to unlock it.
Cool video
Cool comment
So is Freedom the same as portable? U used them interchangeably for that section. Thanks in advance for clarification
Yes Portable/Portable 2nd = Freedom/Freedom2 and Portable 2nd G = Freedom Unite
@@SuperRADLemon all right, now i know. Thanks Super Rad. Just discovered ur channel, having a blast. Keep up the good work!👍🏻

UWU
I think the crimson and white fatalis is not a subspecies tho it's a variant.
monster hunter monsters as pathfinder/pathfinder 2e bestiaries + creature codex + tome of beasts 1 and 2 + monster manual expanded 1/2/3 + advanced bestiary + Endless Realms: Creature Compendium + Atlas Animalia + Monsters of Porphyra 1 and 2 + Freeport bestiary
12:58 HECK YEAH 😂😂😂😂
Dragons have arms, legs, and wings
Wyverns have legs and wings :)
Wow he's part of the first fleet
The video is super cool, but i deeply disagree with the fact that the series is stronger when playing with friends. I loved monster hunter freedom. At the time, i tried playing online but it felt so unpersonal with the monsters. Even today in mhw and with the quality of life of online, i feel it just makes the win less rewardable.
I think socially the game thrives through being a cooperative experience. But there is definitely an appeal to the solo content
Forest and hills should be in every single game. I wish mh world would have had it. I'm super excited for mh rise
I AGREE!
Hard disagree. I want new maps. Always.
I thought G meant God, like God-rank. Since you ended up fighting monsters on par with gods later on, and rare, Insane sup-species like Tiger-stripe Zamitros and Berserker Tesucabra.
Green plesioth, that son of a bitch! It made me laugh so hard I can relate🤣
"G" means Gangstar bro, it's true! xD
Oh shit
My psp has teeth marks on the screen cause of how angry freedom would make me. But still managed to solo up to G-rank on Unite.
BIG MAN BIG MAN
BIG MAN
I have never ever laughed at something I totally agree with. Green Plesioth that son of a bitch !
Lmao be sure to check his channel ;)
The "G" in monster Hunter games actually stand for " Gangster". B)
I remember when I was young and my older bro had freedom unite on the my PSP and I deleted all his progress on freedom unite lol I was too young and didnt know what i was doing haha
Hack n slash? I dont know about that. Cool video series tho.
I think the real reason it got such success is because it got hornier and More expressive Not that it wasn't in the first game
But it went on and on to improve itself Make itself even more what it was
this is that good good shit uwu
Watching this make me jealous 😟
