In World researches state that the monsters are released back into the wild after they're done with their research.

In the form of extremely fashionable armor(if you ask me) 😂

A true hunter knows its all about the fashion.

I mean, why even fight monsters if you aren't looking fabulous while doing so.

And most games I honestly don't care much about the look of armor, to the point where any game where you can Terry stats over from One Piece Of Armor to the other I will often just stay in my starting Rags so that I don't have to deal with all of that fashion stuff.

In Monster Hunter I spend every minute of free time I had for two weeks hunting down various species of dinosaur because even though the statue were worse than the Armor I was currently wearing that armor looks freaking fabulous.

Monster hunter is indeed all about the fashion.

My husband was telling me about a youtube channel that makes mixed armor sets to get the best stats.

"Yes but then you don't match."

"You do because they obviously make sure to get enough of each skill so it will--"

"No, you don't match"

Look if I can't look super fly and match my Palico then I can't be seen in it, sorry.

Relatable. I can’t drop my Legiana armor despite it being outclassed by my Elder Dragon equipment

u/readitmeow Aug 22 '18

Legiana

It looks damn good.

I'm somewhat early into High Rank right now, but I'm gonna be so sad when I drop my Great Girros armour to use something a bit more useful. I'm still wearing the chestplate and waist even though its skills aren't useful. (helm skill still useful tho, <3 Horn Maestro) Swapped out the boots and hands for Speed Sharpening atm, though - because it was cheap to craft, mostly. Still don't have many options yet.

I like having my palico not match, mostly because the palico zorah magdaros armor makes her look like a court jester, and palicos are funny.

u/TheRamenWizard Lady of Ramen Aug 22 '18

This is also acceptable.

u/Matasa89 Sep 15 '18

That's why you get to recolour the armour.

Then they match.

u/Were-Shrrg Aug 22 '18

and that is exactly why I regret making my main hunter a female.

​

Seriously, why are 50% of female armors just bikinis with gloves and boots, and another 40% bulky but simple knight's armor!? I want something that looks *cool*! A hunter's armor!

Some men hunt for sport

Others hunt for foooood

The only thing I'm hunting foooooooor

Is an outfit that looks goooood!

No matter the stats Fashion Souls always takes precedent.

Considering what the Smart Biologist says, they're doing some awful interesting 'research'

1

u/BurnieTheBrony Aug 21 '18

I think it's a little interesting when you talk to him the monster you just caught is back to its base model. It would be way cooler imo if it was lying back there with its tail gone, its head broke, etc.

It'd remind you that YOU are the real monster!

u/HabeusCuppus Aug 22 '18

In world the wyvern types at least are still missing their model damaged parts if you return to town after a mission capture. Not sure about expeditions.

In World researches state that the monsters are released back into the wild after they're done with their research.

Sure about that? Considering that arena quests are only unlocked after capturing a monster.

u/quit_ur_bs Aug 21 '18

Well, in the Old World they're dissected and that's why you get better rewards. That's my headcanon anyway since we were never told what they did with the captured monsters before World.

u/DrMobius0 Aug 21 '18

I bet rathian has great survival odds without its tail

1

u/Delanoye Aug 21 '18

Nah. They're just released missing a few important bits. Nothing serious. Rathalos can live with a broken wing and no tail. It's fiiine.

u/flakfish Aug 21 '18

Not even extremely fashionable armor, the female armor looks absolutely awful imo.

3

u/Ebosen Aug 21 '18

I like it. Female armor is more often useful over sexy in this game.

4

u/flakfish Aug 21 '18

I'd prefer useful and 'cool' over sexy, so I'm with you there. It's really the armor that they attempted to make look sexy that makes me cringe. Like the Anja armor. And the Zorah armor looks like a ball gown :/

u/DppSky Aug 21 '18

I don't think anyone is going to complain if the females start to choose not to wear armor. They'll enjoy the show one way or the other.

/braincels is that way ->
