Technically speaking even the first SMT is a spin-off, right? The "main" game was just called Megami Tensei iirc It's a LONG way from there to Persona Dancing games lol
@@Stories-ji7lz well technically they can via birth defects, disease, etc. Some people go blind early in life from things as simple as blocked tear ducts. I am sort of hopeful Stories version of Soulseer will be born blind, give it those spirit flame eyes from the start. Regarding Bloodbath, I like to imagine that since it's already quite different looking when born that similar differences cause one of its horns to be prone to breaking and then growing back in a split form, or simply splitting as the original horn grows.
@@Ryodraco make sense, though idk soulseer will get the flame eyes from the start, you only see it do it once it’s enraged or you get hit with a bubble, cheer would probably make him go enraged, soulseer will probably have bubbles surrounding it to use the bubbles as eco location, like how khezu is blind, so it uses smell to get around places.
Almudron would be cool with his sculpture gimic, namiel would also be a good water elder dragon, always good to have some more powerful water monsties, banboro I feel was a favorite monster in iceborne and maybe add some forgotten monsters like frontier monsters, feel like some of them would work better in stories then they ever did
Vaal Hazak as a boss or a monstie ?Because as a boss l see it happening but as a Monstie it's not even plausible.Namielle would be cool tho,because we're lacking in the water department.Also,who wouldn't want a Valstrax monstie ?
@@francisbacon5897 oh ok This is why we needed to be able to change a monsties element or attack type I’m gutted that I can’t make a nergigante an elemental masterpiece or a giant burning gammoth
No joke, I would love to have a Magnamalo in stories 2, let's just hope they decide to bring these monstees into the game and not just keep them in those spin off titles
@Dark Trainer Joe I would also love magnamalo in stories 2. It would be interesting to see a beast who is literally called “a grudge against all life, given form in flame” work side by side with others
Magnamalo would be too op for stories ngl. In stories bleed just does double damage and in rise if u have hellfire on and get hit it’s extra damage. Not to mention the fact it’s also like blastblight. So that’s two in one status effect which is hella good. So either u get rid of it, take extra damage, or die from an explosion. Not to mention the amount of aoe moves he’d get that would deal heavy damage and cause hellblight. As fun as that would be in pve the pvp players would cry over it ngl XDD
If I remember correctly, there are Amatsu Monstie files in Stories 2, so with a bit of coding you could potentially get one. I know it works for Plum Daimyo.
Suprisingly, All of the Unridable Monsties in Stories 2 can be loaded in but the **only one actually Ridable is Tetsucabra (Which uses Zamtrios Animations Once on your Team) The Files do have some references to Amatsu, Great Poogie and Coral Pukei. What i find interesting is that in that leaked list from February/March (That we now know was real) there was also another Monstie right after Rathian, more specifcally Cheval's Rathian, that had a Special Name that No longer exists in the files ** Correction TCRF (The cutting Room Floor) now has Most of the Info correct. Before when i looked at it, it only Said Tetsu was ridable
The datamine of Stories 2 actually revealed a ton of unused ID for monsters. Apparently some claim that there was even an unused Namielle icon but I still need to see proofs for that.
@@yaboipktendo Maybe it was another companion monstie? If it came after Rathi and it had a special name that would seem pretty likely, no? I wonder who it could've been.
@@mattiaberti9160 YEAH! I haven't seen the icon, I can't find it, but there's a lot of people saying it is in the game! They probably won't show it 'cause dmca and stuff (I think?)
Monsters I'd personally LOVE to see in mhs2: namielle, somnacanth, magnamalo, shara ishvalda, goss harag, valstrax, vaal-hazak & now that it has been mentioned espinas as well. (kulve taroth should be a monstie at some point) I'd like to see some others as well that would not be that hard to implement since there are similar monsters/skeletons/abilities in the game already: odogaron, lunastra, aknomos, bishaten & great izuchi. (it will never happen and its probably just me but it would be cool to have the leshen fighting on our side)
Tetranadon and Somnacanth would be great water monsties. Also; The monsties being there is rough, but also seeing riders with weapons we can't have is also rough. I know it'd be cool to see how LS or the CB would work in MHS lol
@@M00nSlippers it’s unbalanced no matter who you fill the speed slot with. Jho can throw down with Elders and knock ‘em for a loop. That said, Stygian is not that far behind.
I'm absolutely crushed by the fact that unrideable monsters are still a thing in MHS2 sincerely. Specially some of them being so iconic as Tetsucabra and Plesioth. It really let me down the fact they added like 15 brand new Monster species to the game and you can ride only half of them
I think Dodogama would've been a cool monstie to have in Stories 2. He's a fan favourite who didn't get a subspecies in Iceborne or appear in Rise, and I would love to see it in the Stories style.
Would Gore/Shagaru work in the Stories Universe despite the Black Blight existing? The Blight in the first Stories was basically written as something that had an unknown origin and the Legendary dragon got corrupt by it (I'm assuming it was an Elder dragon). If Gore and his Frenzy virus were in Stories 2 it would kind of be odd that he didn't show at all, or even hinted at, in the first game but appeared in 2. I do like the Megalas though.
all of the above would be lovely additions though i also think it would be lovely to have some of the subspecies for the monsters that have already made it in (nightshade paolumu, coral pukei, viper tobi) as well as possibly getting some collab monsties like in the last game, though that would be up to the devs and whichever collabs they could theoretically obtain.
While I do agree that getting monsties like Valstrax, Magnamalo and Namielle would be awesome I'm just hung up on those awesome Zinogre and Rajang female armor designs... Want
And then you realize that the entire Rider battle system would be screwed up due to there being precisely TWO BLUNT WEAPONS (in comparison, there's like 5 peirce weapons, lance, gunlance, the bowguns, and the bow, and a staggering 7 (that's half) are bladed weapons)
I wasn't surprised that the rise monsters didn't make it into the game since they are being developed at the same time as mhs2, but I was disappointed we didn't get more subspecies from iceborne, particularly viper tobi-kadachi and coral pukei pukei, they fit right in with purple ludroth and stygian zinogre as 'recolors'. The effort to do it would have been so minimal too. At least we got Fulger Anjanath though, he's a great boi. Namielle would have been great for balance as a Water Elder too.
Oh knowing that they can add my favorite monster to stories 2 and yet he’s not there is sad but knowing that he could be added gives me hope also to be fair I love agnaktor but imagine fitting a saddle on the giant fin on his back
Not just the monsties, but the weapons, or cool character/accessories/attacks. I know the 2nd game was a gamble. So..... I hope that in the 3rd installment they add this stuff and sooo much more to the equation
At 2:25 I was not expecting to see Estark Lord of the Underworld from Dragon Quest IV in the game as essentially a Monstie as well as Alena as a Rider.
I think it'd be cool if Great Itzuchi was in Monster Hunter Stories in that you'd have two little Itzuchis always following you around and maybe have Navirou riding on the back of one, but that's my personal want. :P Also Chameleos, because we've got the other two of the trio being Kushala Daora and Teostra, so why not him? Plus, a Tech/Poison Elder Monstie would be GODLY I think for anyone's Poison builds his genes might bring, and I bet he'd also have the "Sneak" ability out of combat and have something to do with going invisible and using his Mist for his Kinship attack.
I'd have loved Abyssal Lagiacrus as a Monstie. But we really need more genes, there is a surprising lack of Tech passives for fire. The only one that's slightly useful for my builds was SLUGGER!?
4:03 I think biggest thing I think about with Savage Deviljho is that honestly...a baby version of it would be impossible. Method of it becoming a Savage is usually consuming another Deviljho and then it warps them even further into their hunger fueled rage. I guess you could say maybe it was a twins moment and one unhatched Deviljho consumed the other making for a baby Savage Jho but still...it would definitely be something hard to explain.
I think some Rise monsters would of been dope. Goss Harag for Ice, Almudron for Water (we need some water). Magna would of been cool but i dont know how he would work, probably just end up a Fire type
Like that matters, the first and last time Desert Seltas showed up was 4U, and similarly Green Plesioth hasn't shown up for longer (3U) I could keep going (Notably there are monsters who's only exposure since intro is Stories like Qurupeco, Crimmy, Green Narga, Jade Barroth, etc.)
Getting valstrax (and potentially, possibly crimson glow valstrax) in Stories 2 would be so amazing, and would be my main monstie no questions asked. Hopefully there will eventually be dlc that will add a bunch of monsties Edit: and, as has been stated by some already, base valstrax could be speed while crimson glow could be a combo
Cotton, I feel like they’d troll you by in the roadmap only saying Crystal beard but having a few monsties on the side. (Duranburos in my top 3 hopefuls ❤️)
Sadly, I don't think there will be any DLC after this roadmap. I mean, the last monster on the roadmap is most likely to be some variation of Fatalis. So unless that is Crimson Fatalis and they plan on doing another round of DLC, ending with White Fatalis, I think this is the end for MHS2 post-launch DLC.
I'm pretty sure there was a screenshot of some leaked info or something where the screenshot had something along the lines of "explore far off lands in stories 2" along with "explore new lands in coming dlc" not exactly what it says but you get the picture. My theory is, after the stories 2 roadmap is over, a couple months will pass and rise g gets announced, what if along with rise g, stories 2 wings of calamity or something is announced to released before rise g or something to give us some mh early in 2022 before maybe mid 2022 or something.
This is so sad because I wanted a Raging aswell as a Valstrax. I know we all want a Valstrax but still. AND I REALLY WANT STUFF LIKE TETRANADON PLS CAPCOM AAAAAAAAA Edit: also sad Alatreon never made it into games like stories 2.
I'm honestly a little surprised that a couple more monsters from mhw didn't make it in, like Nightshade Paolumu, Dodogama, or Odogaron. There's another part of me that's itching for a few old and new Elder Dragon monsties such as Vaal Hazak, Valstrax, Nakarkos, Namielle, Chameleos (another stealth monstie would be wonderful), and Gogmazios. I know most of the elders I listed have 0% chance of happening, but one can dream (edit, had to add the boi, Dodogama)
My list of monsties I'd like to see: • Any large monster already in the game without a monstie. • Magnamalo • Tetranadon • Rakna • Almudron and/ or Somnacanth • Banbaro • Possibly Beotodus (best piscine wyvern) • Dodogama and/ or Odogaron • Vaal Hazak • Namielle • Valstrax • Maybe Kulve, Xeno/ Safi or Shara (Unrealistic, but it would be cool) (All newer monsters I know (except Valstrax), most of the older monsters I like are already in the game)
I’m definitely disappointed that they didn’t added Odogaron. Like seriously it’s a demonize hyena and it’s armor based hell hound. Not to mention the fact that it shares the same skeleton as Tobi Kadachi so it shouldn’t been a issue to add it in.
@@kairyu9207 In the forest of course. Ebony Odogaron sometimes appears in the Ancient Forest and Normal Odogaron also appears in the Coral Highlands too so it doesn’t have to be exclusively in a rotten area. Besides Seltas Queen normally is seen in forests and deserts but never appeared in a cold climate area until now.
Valstrax, Lucent Nargacuga, Magnamalo, Almudron. These are what I need right now. But it would be nice to see Hyujikiki, Akantor, Ukanlos, Dyuragaua, Berkyurosu, Abiorugu, Banbaro, Odogaron, Malfestio, Torridcless, Hypnocatrice, Somnacanth, Pokaradon, Slicemargl, Gougarfs and many other mainline and frontier monsties. Also I would have liked it if they gave us Desert Seltas Queen as ridable monsties.
I would have liked to ride the rocket powered elder dragon since I can just imagine the kinship move. I would say that Magala and Safi would be fun too since their adolescent and adult forms are different but when I think about it those two don't come from eggs or normal eggs like the other monsters.
I currently play MH Riders on my phone, and I can vouch for the quality of monsters & their riders’ models within the game. Tbh there are some very intriguing story beats that they take which I would adore to see implemented in some DLC or even another future game for main consoles!
I think we're going to see at least one new recruitable elder dragon if not more, just on the grounds that there's lots of design space for them to add more challenging content as far as what level and gear level you require to comfortably do it.
This isn't as painful as when i realize that there are no Kusala, Teostra and Rajang in Stories 1 (the mobie version) after like 400+ hours in the game.
I would love to see tetranodon in stories 2 we need more swimming monsties in the game I would also love to see the likes of somnacanth, aknosom, bishaten, rakna kadaky, and great izuchi basically all the rise monster in stories also would love to see chameleos in the roster too
Just so you know there are tWo monstie slots unaccounted fOr if you count the skips between the Palamutes and Hellblade and compare to the announced update monsties
I would love to see Lucent Narga just because of how dope it is, also, I kind of wanted to see Ceanataur, Shogun, hell I would of even loved to ride Daimyo
Totally agree with all of this, and it would be really nice if the other subspecies from Iceborne also made it in. We already got fulgur anjanath, so it could be!
That's Death Stench armour the bad guys were wearing, not VH armour. DS is just one of those random sets made from environmental pieces, like Mosgharl.
@@kurophoenix1323 yeah true, but I'd still have loved vaal hazak to make an appearance as it was a good elder dragon in world and I loved every fight with it.
My guesses for dlc expansion monsties: all remaining world/iceborne monsters tescu, volvidon, valstrax, chameleos, other remaining deviants that are in base game, duramberos this is with the mindset of it’s just doubling the roaster also not entirely sure how this works but this is what I hope and think would come in dlc
I've heard MHRiders is a bad game. For a gacha that contains amazing graphics and well-styled creatures like Monster Hunter monsters, everything could have gone well. I just really hope that this game is translated and liberated from japan so i could see with my own eyes if this game is as horrible as they say it is.
I have the game. (Downloaded in the US) and it's not as bad as other gatcha games I've played. I actually quite enjoy it. (Not a spender) I honestly really hope an English release makes it out west!
@@blazingruin2975 Really? Well, i never understood japanese language, but if someone is saying that the game is good, then i'm sure it is. I just wish it gets here in Brazil and other places so we could play a lot.
valstax would be cool to ride on imagine big dragon dive bomb on the enemy that would be cool, and I would also love to see ruiner and maybe alatreon as a monstie, but alatreon is more likely to be a boss fight.
I can definitely see Alatreon as a boss down the line, likely replicating the Escaton Judgement in which you better bring weapons/monsties of particularly elements to counter its current mode. Maybe even give it a Thunder and Water phase too XD
Nathan Collier well if you beat the elder’s lair you’ll know who the secret boss monster is, he currently can only be fought twice in the game, so after the future update you’ll be able to farm him.
@@Kagu-fx1un I have beaten it and I just thought maybe it could be another monster entirely but now that you say it I feel like an idiot for thinking it
@@nathancollier4751 well it's still a possibility, maybe they'll add another secret monster without mentioning anything just like what rise did with bazel.
It probably has less to do with other games and their teams and more to do with the team of Stories 2. When they came up with the roster they simply didn't pick stuff like Savage Jho for whatever reason. On the other end, a guy in Otomon Drop probably said "Vakstrax is cool, people like it, let's add it" Actually the reasons why a MH roster is specifically decided the way it is something we don't truly know yet... I mean, we may know why some monsters are there but what made devs decided a monster X over Y is something not clear yet.
You know why these monsters are in riders instead of Stories 2? Simple Riders is a gacha game Gacha in most cases means more microtransactions which also means more ways to milk the people playing the game but I don't wanna think that about capcom because they make good & enjoyable games but I won't deny I'm a little afraid of the future hopefully capcom won't go down that route
I know everyone would want Valstrax as their monstie.
Dude I will break the windows in my house from screaming if valstrax gets added to stories 2
It would be amazing if it had the new rider ability of supersonic flight.
I would prefer Vaal hazak if I could pick out of the vaal’s
@@nathancollier4751 same

Plus, a Tech/Poison Elder Monstie would be GODLY I think for anyone's Poison builds his genes might bring, and I bet he'd also have the "Sneak" ability out of combat and have something to do with going invisible and using his Mist for his Kinship attack.
I'd have loved Abyssal Lagiacrus as a Monstie. But we really need more genes, there is a surprising lack of Tech passives for fire. The only one that's slightly useful for my builds was SLUGGER!?
4:03 I think biggest thing I think about with Savage Deviljho is that honestly...a baby version of it would be impossible. Method of it becoming a Savage is usually consuming another Deviljho and then it warps them even further into their hunger fueled rage. I guess you could say maybe it was a twins moment and one unhatched Deviljho consumed the other making for a baby Savage Jho but still...it would definitely be something hard to explain.
And we have deviants and zamtrios and gravis coming out of eggs
I think some Rise monsters would of been dope. Goss Harag for Ice, Almudron for Water (we need some water). Magna would of been cool but i dont know how he would work, probably just end up a Fire type
I would never need another Monstie after Abyssal Lagiacrus.
I want magnamalo and was hoping for it after the palamute was revealed as first update, but sadly nothing so far.
I'd like to see Tigerstripe Zamtrios. I know that isn't relevent due to it absence from these games too, I just think it would be a cool addition.
Like that matters, the first and last time Desert Seltas showed up was 4U, and similarly Green Plesioth hasn't shown up for longer (3U) I could keep going (Notably there are monsters who's only exposure since intro is Stories like Qurupeco, Crimmy, Green Narga, Jade Barroth, etc.)
Getting valstrax (and potentially, possibly crimson glow valstrax) in Stories 2 would be so amazing, and would be my main monstie no questions asked. Hopefully there will eventually be dlc that will add a bunch of monsties
Edit: and, as has been stated by some already, base valstrax could be speed while crimson glow could be a combo
Cotton, I feel like they’d troll you by in the roadmap only saying Crystal beard but having a few monsties on the side. (Duranburos in my top 3 hopefuls ❤️)
Sadly, I don't think there will be any DLC after this roadmap. I mean, the last monster on the roadmap is most likely to be some variation of Fatalis. So unless that is Crimson Fatalis and they plan on doing another round of DLC, ending with White Fatalis, I think this is the end for MHS2 post-launch DLC.
I think after the current road map is finished we might see some of these if they do a second.
And Cotton’s depression of not riding a Duramboros continues....... poor dude.
Him and me with my agnaktor
Imagine Rise monsters in Stories 2 as well!
I'm pretty sure there was a screenshot of some leaked info or something where the screenshot had something along the lines of "explore far off lands in stories 2" along with "explore new lands in coming dlc" not exactly what it says but you get the picture. My theory is, after the stories 2 roadmap is over, a couple months will pass and rise g gets announced, what if along with rise g, stories 2 wings of calamity or something is announced to released before rise g or something to give us some mh early in 2022 before maybe mid 2022 or something.
This is so sad because I wanted a Raging aswell as a Valstrax. I know we all want a Valstrax but still. AND I REALLY WANT STUFF LIKE TETRANADON PLS CAPCOM AAAAAAAAA Edit: also sad Alatreon never made it into games like stories 2.
Really hope crimson glow valstrax, redhelm, deadeye, crystalbeard, platypus frog, shara ishvalda, gogmazios, & goss harag will make it in stories 2
I would personally love to see Almudron in Stories 2. We need more potent water Monsties.
Here’s to hoping that Valstraks gets some love in stories 2
And there's a speed dragon element gap....hmmm...
I'm honestly a little surprised that a couple more monsters from mhw didn't make it in, like Nightshade Paolumu, Dodogama, or Odogaron. There's another part of me that's itching for a few old and new Elder Dragon monsties such as Vaal Hazak, Valstrax, Nakarkos, Namielle, Chameleos (another stealth monstie would be wonderful), and Gogmazios.
I know most of the elders I listed have 0% chance of happening, but one can dream (edit, had to add the boi, Dodogama)
I love the random Estark in Riders
My list of monsties I'd like to see:
• Any large monster already in the game without a monstie.
• Magnamalo
• Tetranadon
• Rakna
• Almudron and/ or Somnacanth
• Banbaro
• Possibly Beotodus (best piscine wyvern)
• Dodogama and/ or Odogaron
• Vaal Hazak
• Namielle
• Valstrax
• Maybe Kulve, Xeno/ Safi or Shara (Unrealistic, but it would be cool)
(All newer monsters I know (except Valstrax), most of the older monsters I like are already in the game)
Almost 2 years and no new dlc for stories 2, it would seem that capcom is saving it for stories 3
Abyssal lagiacrus is my most favorite form of lagiacrus so if he made it into stories 2 I think I’d be satisfied forever
I’m definitely disappointed that they didn’t added Odogaron. Like seriously it’s a demonize hyena and it’s armor based hell hound. Not to mention the fact that it shares the same skeleton as Tobi Kadachi so it shouldn’t been a issue to add it in.
Thing is where would Odogaron live as there's nothing in the game at the moment that looks similar to the Rotten Vale.
@@kairyu9207 In the forest of course. Ebony Odogaron sometimes appears in the Ancient Forest and Normal Odogaron also appears in the Coral Highlands too so it doesn’t have to be exclusively in a rotten area. Besides Seltas Queen normally is seen in forests and deserts but never appeared in a cold climate area until now.
@@gioanysgonzalez3396 True, I still don't get why Barroth can be found in Loloska
@@linfa_mh I think Barroth would probably have been better in Alcala
Valstrax, Lucent Nargacuga, Magnamalo, Almudron. These are what I need right now. But it would be nice to see Hyujikiki, Akantor, Ukanlos, Dyuragaua, Berkyurosu, Abiorugu, Banbaro, Odogaron, Malfestio, Torridcless, Hypnocatrice, Somnacanth, Pokaradon, Slicemargl, Gougarfs and many other mainline and frontier monsties. Also I would have liked it if they gave us Desert Seltas Queen as ridable monsties.
I would have liked to ride the rocket powered elder dragon since I can just imagine the kinship move. I would say that Magala and Safi would be fun too since their adolescent and adult forms are different but when I think about it those two don't come from eggs or normal eggs like the other monsters.
VALSTRAX D: I need a little jet engine dragon to zoom around terga
Agnaktor was in Monstie drop too. Saddled and everything.
Coming back 2 years later I wish Stories 2 had more dlc released with these monsties
I currently play MH Riders on my phone, and I can vouch for the quality of monsters & their riders’ models within the game. Tbh there are some very intriguing story beats that they take which I would adore to see implemented in some DLC or even another future game for main consoles!
Bruh, can you speak Japanese? That's sick
@@WolfanTerror There are English language patches available, too.
Waiting for Vaal Hazak for a Spooktober surprise.
Wouldn’t say stolen but I get it. We have a ton already
OMG flying around on a Valstrax monstie would be so cool!!
I think we're going to see at least one new recruitable elder dragon if not more, just on the grounds that there's lots of design space for them to add more challenging content as far as what level and gear level you require to comfortably do it.
Can't wait for the next stories games hopefully bringing the rise monsters and sunbreak
Then Riders Got Crimson Glow Valtrax as a Event so Yep Still More Rise Monster here Just have to wait for Update 5 to see what Happens
Why are the armors in that spinoff game looking so much cleaner then some of the mainline games at least in my opinion
This isn't as painful as when i realize that there are no Kusala, Teostra and Rajang in Stories 1 (the mobie version) after like 400+ hours in the game.
What the fuck was that sword wielding beetle dude thing? Wtf was goin on with that dude's face? Lol aah, gave me a good chuckle them eyes.
I would love to see tetranodon in stories 2 we need more swimming monsties in the game I would also love to see the likes of somnacanth, aknosom, bishaten, rakna kadaky, and great izuchi basically all the rise monster in stories also would love to see chameleos in the roster too
Just so you know there are tWo monstie slots unaccounted fOr if you count the skips between the Palamutes and Hellblade and compare to the announced update monsties
I think its pretty obvious of the 12 who my top priority for getting added would be.
I would love to see Lucent Narga just because of how dope it is, also, I kind of wanted to see Ceanataur, Shogun, hell I would of even loved to ride Daimyo
2:26 why do they have Estark from Dragon quest as a monstie?!
In the monsterpedia there is a 60 monster gap between and dragon palamute and great barrel felyne
This also doesn’t have to do with confirmed because there is another gap between kulve tarroth and regular palamute
(In the melody of a football chant)
🎶where the fuck, where the fuck, where the fuck is Namielle!? Where the fuck is Nam-i-elle!🎶
Totally agree with all of this, and it would be really nice if the other subspecies from Iceborne also made it in. We already got fulgur anjanath, so it could be!
Thing is when I saw the "bad guys" armor i was hyped to find vaal hazak but for some reason the armor is in the game but the elder dragon is missing.
That's Death Stench armour the bad guys were wearing, not VH armour. DS is just one of those random sets made from environmental pieces, like Mosgharl.
@@kurophoenix1323 yeah true, but I'd still have loved vaal hazak to make an appearance as it was a good elder dragon in world and I loved every fight with it.
My guesses for dlc expansion monsties: all remaining world/iceborne monsters tescu, volvidon, valstrax, chameleos, other remaining deviants that are in base game, duramberos this is with the mindset of it’s just doubling the roaster also not entirely sure how this works but this is what I hope and think would come in dlc
I've heard MHRiders is a bad game. For a gacha that contains amazing graphics and well-styled creatures like Monster Hunter monsters, everything could have gone well. I just really hope that this game is translated and liberated from japan so i could see with my own eyes if this game is as horrible as they say it is.
I have the game. (Downloaded in the US) and it's not as bad as other gatcha games I've played. I actually quite enjoy it. (Not a spender)
I honestly really hope an English release makes it out west!
@@blazingruin2975 Really? Well, i never understood japanese language, but if someone is saying that the game is good, then i'm sure it is. I just wish it gets here in Brazil and other places so we could play a lot.
Honestly a genshin style free roam with monstie gacha would be not bad
I really hope with all my heart that they add magnamalo as a monstie
I want Odogaron and Ebony Odogaron. They could make Ebony Odogaron a speed type dragon monster
Yeah abysal lagi would‘ve been sooo cooool
Short of Valstrax the skeleton for each of those mentioned monsters is in game
I was already wondering why Abyssal and Lucent weren't in Stories 2. Gasp. Maybe in the future... Maybe in Monster hunter Stories 3...
I'm if there was a choice between all these monsties coming to stories 2 or Duramboros, Cotton would snap the others to get his mountain cow.
I really want magnamalo as a monstie
valstax would be cool to ride on imagine big dragon dive bomb on the enemy that would be cool, and I would also love to see ruiner and maybe alatreon as a monstie, but alatreon is more likely to be a boss fight.
I can definitely see Alatreon as a boss down the line, likely replicating the Escaton Judgement in which you better bring weapons/monsties of particularly elements to counter its current mode. Maybe even give it a Thunder and Water phase too XD
@@ES-dp6tw he’s my theory for the secret co op monster that they are adding to the game
Nathan Collier well if you beat the elder’s lair you’ll know who the secret boss monster is, he currently can only be fought twice in the game, so after the future update you’ll be able to farm him.
@@Kagu-fx1un I have beaten it and I just thought maybe it could be another monster entirely but now that you say it I feel like an idiot for thinking it
@@nathancollier4751 well it's still a possibility, maybe they'll add another secret monster without mentioning anything just like what rise did with bazel.
I'm down for savage Jho if he gets a speed dragon move
It probably has less to do with other games and their teams and more to do with the team of Stories 2.
When they came up with the roster they simply didn't pick stuff like Savage Jho for whatever reason.
On the other end, a guy in Otomon Drop probably said "Vakstrax is cool, people like it, let's add it"
Actually the reasons why a MH roster is specifically decided the way it is something we don't truly know yet... I mean, we may know why some monsters are there but what made devs decided a monster X over Y is something not clear yet.
You know why these monsters are in riders instead of Stories 2?
Simple
Riders is a gacha game
Gacha in most cases means more microtransactions which also means more ways to milk the people playing the game but I don't wanna think that about capcom because they make good & enjoyable games but I won't deny I'm a little afraid of the future hopefully capcom won't go down that route
That and it's a mobile game which probably takes less time to implement monsters then an actual console atleast I think it would
I think if valstrax was in stories 2 he would be a dash and fly monstie (how it would work tap B once to fly, hold to dash)
I still want my Beloved Odogaron as a Monstie x.x
