I can't help but feel that the final boss is going to be some sort of Raviente/Dalamadur Snake Elder Dragon. Large map, mountains looking like they're torn up, crazy looking weather events.

[@ariesoginaro1062]

Palico - Calico Palamute - Malamute My guess is: Palistral - Kestral Given that the names (in English atleast) have all Been plays off of different types of the pet category, it would make sense that the raptor mount plays off this with maybe a focus on either it being a wild animal we tame, or a pre-domesticated species. If I had to guess they will either go off a raptor, a tropical bird, or a bird of prey. Either way I’m excited to have a bird-like companion! Miss Cha-Cha and Kayumba though…

[@franciscoandres4907]

Decent theory, and you may be on the right track, but "Palistral" feels like you're just trying to stick the word "pal" onto the end of another word, which makes it feel.........clunky. Palico and Palamute actually work the "Pal" into the spelling of the words Calico and Malamute to make a word that has a much better "flow" to it. I think "Kespal" would be the more optimal result here.

[@splitreality8712]

Something I should mention, that middle piece does resemble natural structures. They’re formed when heated rock is bent and then cooled into that shape. While they’re usually found in the sides of cliff faces, there are ones that do stick out. So the most likely option is that it’s closer to a land mark to be able to orient yourself on the map. Cause given the uneven shape you have an idea of where you are in reference to it.

[@ES-dp6tw]

Frankly I'm quite looking forward to how they expand on the dynamics of monster behaviour in this game. I hope there will be much nuance to how these creatures interact from each other, how their behaviour changes depending on what other creature is present. You could imagine, in example, a Beotodus lingering in the shadow of Barioth, wary of the larger predator but keen to pick over its scraps (like an arctic fox following a polar bear), or Nergigante ignoring your conflicts with most monsters but opportunistically attacking if you clash with an elder dragon. We've discussed before if such changes also adjust turf wars if an appropriate partner is present. We see Rajang can easily beat a Rath one-on-one, but if the Rath's partner is present, they can 'interrupt' the animation and lead to both of them teaming up and driving off the monkey.

[@Uzachiha300]

I do have 2 possible things for flagship/final boss monsters with the logo. 1: a third giant snake monster like Dalamadur or Raviente. Or my personal hope, 2: We get a Hydra type monster with multiple serpent heads that we could cut off like with monster tails but it would grow back new heads.

[@Retrodude_92]

[@dracorexion]

Kinda just my thoughts on different things as they're said: 14:30 "Talk about mount's versatility and customization, if there'll be more than just it, how we encounter it, etc." So just going off of the hunter and mounts' armor and accessories, they both look fairly early game, so if there's any possible customization for the mount, it hasn't been crafted yet. I also wanna point out how out of place the mount seems in the plains/desert biome they're in. It's got a blue-purple and green plumage, more indicative of a forest biome creature. It's movement is also much more like, say Tobi-kadachi, with it bounding back and forth across walls, gliding, and its sprinting. I'm actually kinda hoping that it's something related to the Rider tribes we see in Stories, with your character or an important side character being from those tribes and teaching you how to bond with the mount, progressively unlocking more abilities as said bond grows. As far as swimming goes, I dunno. Capcom seems hesitant to even try to bring back underwater combat, but maybe. Now if other small monsters can become mounts, or even a few large ones, that'd be great to see, especially if it's tying the Rider tribes into the story more. 15:50 "Are Palicoes gone!?" Yeah no, that'd be like Star Wars dropping Baby Yoda at this point. If I had to hazard a guess, maybe they just didn't have the Palico mounted in this piece? Given all the angry bear-wombat-lion things chasing you, the Palico could be temporarily out of commission. It could also be that similar to the beginning of World you're separated from your Palico at first and just haven't paired back up yet. The trailer definitely seemed to want to show off the hunter and mount more, so it could literally be nothing more than them not wanting the Palico taking up space and wanting to focus on the new stuff. 17:23 "Seconday weapon loadout customization?/Mounted weapon combat" Honestly I'm more in favor for the game making you have a different loadout instead of two copies. It could be that they're doing away with the two different armor sets for range/close combat and instead combining them both. If the mount is our mobility, I could definitely see a hunter setting up traps and starting off with range to attack monsters and then switching to a great sword or hammer once the trap is sprung. Or even the hunter using the mount to get into a better position to snipe the monster where it can't reach them without destroying the terrain. As far as using weapons while mounted, I can see there being a few moves, such as great swords and hammers helping to trip monsters, or lances having stronger attacks with a mounted sprint. Maybe stronger/quicker bowgun/bow attacks while mounted while sacrificing some accuracy. I can imagine certain monsters being easier to hunt while mounted while others are better face to face. 23:05 "Returning monsters" Barroth my beloved has to come back. Apart from them, Duramboros, Zinogre, Dalamadur and Najarala, Nibelsnarf, and Abyssal Lagiacrus stuck in the desert.

[@TheEvanDude112]

I am *quite* happy to see all three of you in one video together! I know the chances of this happening again is slim. But, I would love if it could!

[@relicking9207]

You three talking about a terrain altering Monster makes me think of Dala, with how they wear down mountains, and having a large open space like this would allow you to fight it without a special arena and the mount would let you keep up with it.

[@verdanteridium]

I suspect the bear boys are a pack based large monster, likely sharing the full bar (or two if thats too easy in testing). I hope that a few monsters have this behavior style. Or that hunts relating to them involve separating individuals and culling some of the heard to keep predator populations down near towns, or hunting the leader specifically. The bears have potential, and we have more bear boys to accompany Azuros and Goss Harag so I'm pleased

[@KsnypsAdventures]

I have said it before but I will say it again: My theory is that there will be multiple maps, but they will have variations based on weather. The Savannah area has a desert variation when the sandstorm hits and covers everything in sand. A jungle map would have a rainy season where part of it floods and we fight water monsters. An ice area would have a snowstorm or avalanche season and a volcanic area would have eruptions from time to time. All the maps would have different monsters based on the weather and all of them would be an open world of their own

[@leonidasvonsparta]

I also would like that

[@zephalpha06]

Bro predicted almost all the mechanics

[@tregrenos8615]

In MHW we saw gliding lizard species and the mounts quadrupedal running and gliding seems similar to Tobi Kidachi, so despite having feathers and a beak the new mount might be closer related to reptiles and possibly even share ancestry with these creatures. Given it’s likely they may be from somewhere close to the “New World” they might not be far removed if so. They could also be a similar species to Toni Kidachi that have adapted to the storms here, forming a beak due to the winds and food available while also developing stronger hind legs for outpacing the storms and dealing with the heat of the sand. The feathers might be an evolution to take advantage of the sand as well, such as dust baths being beneficial to its overall health.

First off: I love having all 3 of you bounce ideas off each other! Second: Since this basically is the sequel to World... Shara Ishvalda always seemed rather unfinished to me. He was made up as the literal cause of even the elder dragon migrations to that land and was found on an good chunk of weird rocks nearby. those rocks kinda resemble what the trailer shows toward the end. what if we're exploring the land Shara created and lured creatures here, so we're scouting a new area? that's how we discovered the guiding lands too but what if Sharas influence over years created a larger more deeper influenced land?

[@GASA1997]

There are two things that I believe MHwilds needs to have. First, I hope that they bring back the more unique monsters such as Gammoth, Malfestio, and Kecha-Wacha. Second, I need the old Hunting Horn to return, rise/sunbreak hunting horn is so watered down it is insane. They turned hunting horn into a fast hitting weapon and got rid of all of the fantastic song mechanics.

[@LucasTheBoi]

I think that by combining the speed of the SunRise hunting horn with the large song list of the classic MH games we would have the perfect Hunting Horn. Make it play like it does in World, but give us the speed and damage

I believe Wilds is based on Southwest Asia and Mesopotamian mythology. I believe the serpeant(s) depicted on the logo is a representation of the serpeant Goddess of Creation and Chaos, Tiamet, who is also sometimes referred to as "the glistening one." Maybe both serpents on the logo are the same monster, just different forms. Much like Tiamet who is said to be portrayed twice in two very different ways, one being good, and one being bad, hence creation and chaos. She is also said to have created the first dragons/monsters in the world. Minions that do her bidding as she pleases. This could be the other 4 serpeant heads around the main 2 serpeants. Finally, Mesopotamia is now modern day Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Syria and Turkey. Most of these areas are known for their heavy deserts, thus bringing us to the sandstorms we see in the trailer. BONUS: This might be stretching it, but i also see the hunter in the trailer as Gilgamesh since both carry a Great Sword. Our hunter could very well be going on their own Epic of Gilgamesh journey to explore the lands and fight Tiamet, as did Gilgamesh

New theory based on what you guys said: What if the circles are the shedded and fossilized husks of a serpent dragon that is so powerful that it made/gave life to whatever landmass wilds is taking place in? The dragon would maybe be coiled up and just a floating circle, explaining the circular theme of wilds. Perhaps it would also change its features based on what it chooses the environment to be? Like When it makes a storm it grows detachable spines that act as lightning rods?

[@MonsterHunterxRWBY]

My own more-hope-than-theory is that this means we might get Laviente/Raviente in the main series and that adding Espinas and Flaming Espinas was a test to see how people would react.

Ayyyyy Hollow is in a video with the two of you! I am so used to just hearing his voice alone and you two together without him. ♥

[@kylelogiudice7769]

I have a theory that doesn’t really matter about the open world or not open world theory. My theory and fun little concept is that monsters have more designated areas. For example, if you have a nerscylla, they’ll be in a spider (webbed up) cave, while weaker large monsters travel in smaller packs. I also hope that if we have larger maps, then there is a chance we have a lot, if not all monsters returning from main line games, so that we can have a more turf wars between most monsters to see how the ecosystem functions between everything and where each monster is placed on the food webs.

[@jasperkruizinga4060]

I'm amazed nobody said anything about dalamadur feels like he might be part of the story. Especially because that rock with the hole feels like something that happens because one passed through the area. My pick for forcing a monster to be in the game would be jhen mohran. I feel like the newer games can realy do that fight justice.

[@DRAG0NSPIRIT10]

I don't think Dalamadur will be part of the story, I don't think he'll even be in the game except as maybe a skeleton at best. I don't think he'll be part of the story as Monster Hunter likes to have entirely new monsters be involved in the main plot (like Lagiacrus and Ceadeus in Tri). As to why I think he won't be a huntable monster in the game, it's because most of these huge Elders are deeply tied to the areas they are fought in. Meaning the only way they can return is if their arena is brought back too, which is not impossible (as they did it with Fatalis in Iceborne) but it does make it a bit tougher.

[@castlecrashed7700]

I think Kuarusepusu and the dynamics with how his crystal changes effects depending on stormy weather would be a great pick here

[@Cassapphic]

The Palacaw (which is the best name suggested here) probably will be found being targeted by some monster you scare off, and it could be wounded such that it has more limited movement with sidequests throughout the game that let you tend to the wounds and it steadily gets more mobile, similar to koraidon and miraidon in pokemon scarlet and violet.

[@acidintheface]

This is great just what I needed to listen to on the way home from work, and good to get holo in there too his opinion is valued.

[@lumi4178]

I'm imagining that you take quests and the target monster(s) spawn in their part of the locale, similar to taking a named monster quest from Stories 2

[@KsnypsAdventures]

Mount theory: each biome in the open world will have a unique mount species or two that the hunter can befriend. You would then be able to take them everywhere on the map and into different biomes, but they would have stats that increase or decrease their performance in certain regions based on what biome they’re from. For example, the jungle mount (presumably seen in the trailer) can glide between trees and climb vertical slopes, whereas a different mount from a different area would have other advantages. Edit: Yes, I believe each weapon will have a mounted moveset, just like underwater combat if it is to return.

[@zinogre6225]

I know I'm late, but I saw another youtuber point out that a common theme with both the trailer and logo is mirrors. The two serpents mirror each other, one dark one light, the w in wilds mirrors itself, and the word "Wilds" is mirrored below itself, and some of the stuff in the trailer like the storm making everything a dark version of what was before or the sand giving way to the grass. Also, the lightning rod spires have the same pattern on them as the serpents and designs of the logo, and the rocks and cliffs around the area are nearly identical to those of the Wildspire Waste, though it's unlikely that's where this takes place. The structure that the mount jumps across also appears to be an absolutely massive chunk of fulgerite, meaning that the lightning may be a lot bigger than what we see. Also I think that there will be camps, they will just be the fast travel points and they'll be a lot more spread out. Another detail is that the music is synth-ey, which has usually been used for 'otherworldly' and strange things like Xeno/Safi'jiiva and the Rotten Vale. That's about all I've found either by my own analasys or by watching others.

[@MiyraJewel]

I've always wantted to see some of the older big monsters come back with fatalis in world and amatsu in sunbreak I'd really love to see something like dalamadur or even something like gogmazios come back especially since they filled my craving for gore magala in sunbreak now I really desperately want to see some more of the old Gen giants come back and give us that feeling of "we really are small aren't we"

[@MajoraPRIME]

Something I've talked about with my friends is the changes we see that serve as precursors for what we are seeing now. Before Rise even released, I told my friends that World is the first step, eventually, a precursors to a more open world monster hunter game. Generations was the last game to ever have it's older, traditional theme/style. It seemed like Capcom wanted to do more with world, but some limitations prevented them from doing so. But overall, I saw world as more of a test to see how they could execute an open world monster hunter game. Rise expanded on that with the palamute system, climbing, and other mobility capabilities it introduced. Now, it seems like they are meshing both concepts together, and they have so many opportunities to bring back some older mechanics that were difficult to bring back, such as underwater hunting and even bringing back colossal monsters like Dire Miralis or even Dalamadur. They also have opportunities to introduce some newer mechanics. I am eager to see where this goes

[@Utnapishtim89]

Not a super solid theory, but I could see the darker monster in the logo representing the thunder to the other monster's lightning, or maybe wind, or some other aspect of storms since storms seem to be the big focus of the theme. Also, just another shot in the dark (based mostly on me thinking the idea is neat), but I'm going to say the flagship (or whichever monster/s the logo represents) is a storm-flavored serpentine/eastern dragon mixed with a hydra, and that all the little curly boys coming off the big two represent it's multiple, regrowing heads. Actually, now that I think about it, why hasn't a hydra ever been done in MH? They have the tail cutting or part breaking mechanics right there, and they would work pretty perfectly for dealing with multiple heads.

[@matthies1775]

But ibushi and narwa already symbolised storms

[@derkatronprime]

Ok so I have a lot but ima bullet point it: - I would love to see the end of the trailer be the menu screen that: your hunter changes as your progress and when you hit new game you see him ride down. - If there is a Storm Elder Dragon: where does Zinogre play in the mix, friend or foe? - The idea of a flagship in each biome is great: make it a sinister 6 kinda play and you must beat them to find the big bad.

I am SUPER confident in weather being massive in Wilds. For some reason nobody has mentioned in the logo what I find more interesting than the dragons. All the circles around "wilds" look like water ripples, they're even animated that way. Also, I dunno why but I would love to see an easter egg of the movie. Like some quest notes mentioning chocolate, that would be goofy. Or maybe some small references sprinkled throughout the game. Like, I hate the movie, but I would get a chuckle from a reference from it.

[@shannonleete6579]

Something I looked up after watching the trailer, concerning the Palypterix: obviously based on an archyopterix, which is a "transitional" evolution from two-legged land based to flying and bird-like. SO, the mount seems like a transitional evolution between the theropod bird wyvern (baggi, genprey) and flying wyvern (tigrex and barioth) with the dual running styles and it's body shape. I thought this was very, very cool.

functional guess : old world tech teleportation system is causing rolling "storms" to change the environment from dessert to arctic or temperate allowing for multiple biome changes. Functional guess: the gun in the holster is most likely a net gun to allow you to slow down to a fight speed running "large" animals that like to run away A LOT like kulu. Hopeful guess: "wire claw"- a tool used to move across mountain face and may have "limited combat potential" for relocation movement tricks.

Idea that I hope one day is implemented. Playing as a first fleet, in a new area, having to start up and build the settlement from scratch. Want a forge in your settlement?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, WE NEED VIDEOS OF ALL 3 OF YOU HUNTING TOGETHER

[@ChildNightmare]

I want camp set ups to be like how they did it in wild hearts where you can do it wherever you want even if there is intended spots

[@pyrosui]

I hope the devs watch y'alls content. You all are so creative, and definitely have solid insights into the monster hunter dialogue/community. If they don't it'd still be nice to have professionals like y'all into the dev room closer to releases to discuss final touches like QoL stuff.

12:24 the land in the center has always looked more like a wave, almost as if something made a wave of sand and then it was solidified in the air.

[@tbpbTB2010]

Maybe there's a Sinister Six? 3 snake Wyverns in the overworld and 3 in an underworld fighting the other side for dominance (given the main serpants being upside down of each other)? The two larger ones in the logo could be the leader of each respective side with the different weather phenomina being caused by a specific one in a specific region. So there's 3 overworld areas: Snowy Mountain, Dusty Savannah, Rocky Highlands with an emphasis on fauna and herds. All the underground areas will feature more flora like a Subteranian Jungle, Luminescent Swamp, Volcanic Steamreefs with an emphasis on the plant life and secluded beasts. That logo is waaaay to prominent to not mean something and sorry if my terminology is off or these places already exist, I'm pretty new to the series!

And to add to what cotton said as far as clutch claw with movement, I would love to see a scene with u riding your mount and you use the cluch claw to either do a quick turn by grabbing something and redirecting yourself, or, you grab a tree as u go by and u fling off your mount and then u can get some air maneuverability.

Does anyone notice how unbelievably WIDE those Goss-Harag-looking-monsters open their mouths!?!? And does anyone know which part of them are their eyes ?

[@joereed8872]

Haven't watched the video yet, it's just this comment section is the best location I could think of to get this info out. I think the 2 serpents in the logo hint at the Haitian snake spirits damballa and Ayida-weddo.

[@luisemoralesfalcon4716]

Due to the pretense of slinger and scoutflies and the front of the title, this is a follow up to World/Iceborne. The question is if the General took those devices and implemented them overall the Guild or if the Research Commission made headway into more areas of the New World after the fight with Fatalis in the Old World. The second option can answers as to why there is no campsite due to the place just starting to be researched now, the situation can change depending on how we implement the resources to build new camps and bases.

[@Patty-Q]

I've got 4 points that I feel could be interesting. First two involve the title itself. 1. Is that Wilds is close to being Worlds, which is funny thinking they can't god with it and shifted to Wilds. 2. is Wilds could be seen synonymous with Frontiers in scheming. Both have a close enough meaning and could mean that this could have a little more inspiration from Frontiers. 3rd is with the design of the greatsword there. With a noticeable handle to grab towards the tip of the blade, it could mean there's a shift in combat style for this title, assuming it's not for aesthetic reasons. and finally, the mass of rock in the center. It's broken and oddly shaped, so what if it was actually like an egg to incubate the elder dragon of the area, thus causing the shifting landscapes?

I’ve noticed that the mount is oddly similar to the little glider things in the ancient forest

10:56 See, I think Goss Harag is a more solitary monster, and monsters like it are more than likely going be encountered alone. That said, one of Goss’s Master Rank part descriptions-I believe the Hardhorn?-implies they have some sort of hierarchy. I also think they have the intelligence to cooperate with others of their kind if they want to, but 2 at a time seems like a likely limit and more than 3 seems contradictory to their nature. It’s also likely that their intraspecific interactions are limited to mating and territorial disputes.

[@24nero24]

I really hope we can capture endemic life like in MH world to decorate your house. It was such a fun way to some other stuff in the game.

[@trixtheghostwalker6634]

I could see something like a Kirin variant where you have to fight it while on the mount because its just that fast

Alright hear me out with this….A supper meta endgame quest line, MHGU styled end of the game rank that could honestly just be a challenge ranking where it’s not actually connected to the story if they don’t want to but we have to fight and beat EVERY SINGLE BLACK DRAGON EVER. Both from main series and side game which would include Disufiroa and Merphistophelin. Like cmon you can’t tell me that wouldn’t be an amazing recap of all the biggest bads we’ve seen so far😁

[@MikeyBoy86v]

There were a few interesting points there I hadn't thought of, good talk guys. I was on Cottons wavelength with the bowgun on the mount, I thought more of a bowgun to use whilst riding, not straight up weapon swapping. Who knows though, we'll just have to wait

[@blitzingsteel6587]

Time stamp 20:40 you guys are talking about the bow gun on the mount. It could be a tranq rifle instead of tranq bombs, or it could apply different aliments. Because to me it looks more like a hunting rifle than a light bow gun

[@Lyronis_VoltaireVT]

Something I said about the weather is there will be different weather conditions, and you will need to bring your target into a different area to play on its weakness or strengths, and you have to master each storm and all that

[@MrChris2460]

Imagine Malfestio only foughtable during nights and nights in this game actually getting really dark

[@alexedwards5152]

Here’s my guess regarding the ‘Palavian’ (pronounced pal-avian); you find defend an injured one in the intro cutscene and as the storm approaches the game uses it as an opportunity to teach you how to move effectively on the Palavian, and after the intro; the people at the hub will say “Hey, you found yourself a real beauty back there, perked up real fast just now but let me tell ya, it tried biting our heads off earlier, if you want to give im’ a little touch up before your first real hunting expedition, now’s the time!” And them it cuts to the customisation screen

[@Cpt-kaiju]

The biggest clue to it being open world is that we don’t see any well defined borders or walls or edges to show that the zone\map ends

[@draconiansslayer2308]

1 There is a sleeping bag on the mount that might also imply that the hunter has to stay moving or on the field. That we might be able to interact with. 2 We know even from the trailer there will be a large focus on new monsters as all the trailer monsters are new including the mount. So we should expect up to anjanath power level of monsters that are gonna all be new monsters. But new local apex monsters are likely a guarantee. It's a stretch but the flagship or final boss might be a returning monster as the only reason they would hide a monster is because we might recognize it or it's not made. I know its gonna be a new monster but for the final boss, it would be an amazing idea to think about a dormant white fatalis is the cause of the lightning storms and it is the cause of the hole punched mountain if we consider the impact to be horizontal or something like it making a small black hole into it idk it would be a amazing cutscene for the most "powerful" monster in the mh series. I say jokingly (I highly believe most of the questions anyone could have. Are simply because the game is still a year away in development and we have only had 1 trailer)

[@Murderoreo1]

I have a two theories about the logo: A. It could be hinting at the Aztec god of storms amount other things Quetzalcoatl B. It represents one of the monsters from the tale of the five being the one that became the lakes and scattered their scales to make the rain

[@joereed8872]

I did so very cursory search through various pantheons and I think the two that fit the best for inspiration are damballa and ayida-weddo. A brother sister snake combo were one is a water/river god, and the other is a storm/lightning/ rainbow goddess, and one is white and the other black. I don't know enough about those gods personally to speculate on what their monster hunter incarnation would be. I just found a pair of snakes that fit the most design elements presented.

Some thoughts about the open-world concept, where do you make weapons and armor? Is there a guild or hub you can go to, or do you make and upgrade your own out in the field where you learn actual skills to craft higher level gear? Also a hilarious thought on the Bowgun Raptor, what if it can double wield a pair of Light Bowguns? 1. It has opposable thumbs on both of its "wings" 2. It has enough strength on both of its "wings" to glide across large gaps and carry not only a whole person, but an added survival kit as well.

[@tatsumiuchiha5559]

19:45 I have had this little theory nagging in my head ever since I saw the 2 weapon thing... what if they're categorizing the weapons into Melee and Ranged?? So you have 1 Melee weapon and 1 Ranged weapon, and the combat is more Devil May Cry sort where you keep up the tempo by barraging monsters with Ranged attacks until you're in Melee range and then switch to Melee. I guess Ranged weapons don't have any Melee disadvantages in Monster Hunter, so maybe not, but who knows? Maybe the damage output will be adjusted so that too close to monster equals low damage or something for Ranged weapons.

In regards to Wilds being “World 2” while I think technically that’s not the case, I did notice that the new developer message on Worlds steam page refers to it as World #1. Sooo
