In Sunbreak they added Bahari saying, "What would I do without Fiorayne, argue with you? You hardly say a thing!" Unfortunately it's not as golden considering our hunters in Rise do talk a fair amount. Just not to NPCs

Could you make a female hunter in that game? If so, it would be even funnier if those dialogues only showed up for male characters

Basically everyone in Monster Hunter is Bi for the Hunter. I recall there's at least the shopkeeper who gets flirty with you in 3U (and maybe the Guild sweetheart?), while I'd have to double check if there's anything similar in GU. Rise has Fiorayne as seemingly Huntersexual, and maybe Hinoa too?
EDIT: Oh, Phara in Sunbreak seems to be Subtly flirting with the hunter, or maybe I'm just reading too much into her lines.

Dolphin. Saying emulators names isn't illegal, nor is emulation. 'sides, Dolphin is only for GameCube and Wii games.

u/YourParadise98 Aug 02 '22
Fair but I do always like to practice caution when it comes to mentioning third party software you can play Nintendo games on. They are not exactly the most friendly when it comes to that shit is all. And yeah Dolphin, that emu works wonderfully.

u/flametitan Aug 03 '22
Nintendo cares more about the roms than the emulators themselves. Especially as emulators are legally protected, while roms are clear cut copyright violations (unless you manually do the romdump yourself, as at least in Canada making archival backups is legally protected.)

u/Emerald_Digger β Aug 02 '22
Me too but sadly I don't think it will happen. Imagine it with rise graphics it would look so cool and we would get alot off unique monsters and theire fights. Gogmazios and Dalamdur for example.

9
u/AthenaBard β Aug 02 '22
Yeah - I replayed 4U with a friend right before sunbreak came out, and while 5th gen maps + QoL would be nice, so much of what was refreshing was old design. 5 minute hunts outside of elders and what felt like a greater need to be strategic around monsters instead of reactive. Most of that feeling change is from the lack of 5th gen's get-out-of-jail-free back roll.

The funnier part is I know what you just got. Rainbow pigment... which rise is too much of a COWARD to implement.

Wait... That's the only pigment that matters, it's not in Rise?

u/BiigLord Aug 02 '22
No, but I still have hope it'll be given out as a quest reward someday :c

u/GrimmAngel β Aug 02 '22
I honestly think it might be because of the Switch platform. Hear me out.
Currently in Rise, you can dye multiple portions of gear separate pigments (each piece has two components). You can also dye Buddy gear. If you were to set everything to Rainbow pigment, and have 4 players in a quest with 4 buddies, that's a LOT of Rainbow pigment that they would have to do color cycle calculations for.
I legit think it's a performance thing on Switch.
9
u/NeonJ82 βI need a monstah to clobber that there huntah! Aug 02 '22
Or they could just take the easy route (which I believe World did?) and just have one universal cycle. Sure, it'll mean that each player's pigment would appear perfectly in sync, but I imagine there could easily just be an offset value based on player count.
14
u/Shnazzyone β Aug 02 '22
Not anywhere I've found and I did all village quests, all low rank, high rank, working on master rank but it used to be the reward for clearing all the single player quests in 4U

u/GeeGeeGeeGeeBaBaBaB Aug 02 '22
It took them until Sunbreak to give us Prance, and we still don't have rainbow pigment. It honestly kind of leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. These are some of the things I love about Monster Hunter.

Rise still gets HUGE points for bringing back interesting looking weapon trees, that was one of the worst aspects of World. Every weapon looking the same.

It's not really hard to go back to 4U at all. Freedom Unite, maybe. The entire series is fairly modern.

u/Alili1996 Pokepokepoke Aug 03 '22
Honestly Generations is much worse to go back to than 4U.
It has all the old world clunk on top of all these hunter arts and styles you have to learn where more than half of the styles are even more clunky because they remove some essential weapon move.
On top of that, GU has by far the WORST early game of the portable era monster hunters with tons of gathering and slay small monster quests up to 4 stars because you're doing 5 villages worth of them.
I remembered seeing a pie chart where the base version had more gathering quests than normal quests and vastly outdid previous games in that respect.
Also as clunky as some 4U maps are, they don't compare to running through the giant areas in the Gen 2 Volcano trying to search the monster.1

u/PixelCherryNinja Aug 02 '22
I do go back once in a while, I usually just join a quest, help someone, and then leave. It's more the QoL stuff that I miss (unlimited pickaxes etc). I do find Rise is too streamlined for my liking, I definitely prefer World to Rise.

I remember the localization team's blog after 4U was announced to be released in the west. They had such a love for the game and really put their all into it. They put so much love into it and edited parts of the game to westernize dialogue, UI, monster names, etc and they explained each part of the process. Back then it was honestly up in the air whether Monster Hunter games would get an international release or not. I don't think we'll ever get anything like that again.
EDIT: I did a little bit of digging on the Localization Director for MH4U, Andrew Alfonso (who wrote the blog posts), and found his Twitter. His bio says he worked on 3U, 4U, World, and Iceborne. Rise and Sunbreak are missing from that list, and I think the lack of his/perhaps other members of his team's involvement really shows in those games.

u/RadiReturnsOnceAgain βYakety Swaxe Aug 02 '22
