Where many other versions have a very grandiose “somber last stand” sort of tone, this feels more like a marching rhythm/fight song, like Frontier Z. This slaps.

MH1 - A hope during that final stand MH3 - A rising star, giving hope to other hunters MHP3rd - Very similar to the first one, but that different tone gives you determination MH4 - Again, hope, but with that epic touch on the notes MHGenU This time is more than hope; You're about to win, but an easy victory is not allowed, claim your victory with your own hands MHW: More like a military tone, you and your team are close to take down that large mountain, that thread, that enemy who threads your home And Rise... You're not more a sinple hunter... You are THAT hunter. And now, it's your time to bring hope to other hunters, to your village, this time, this is not a proof, you're finally a hero

[@monodoro]

@@TheDevilDucker I love this, and bouncing off your description of Rise in particular: I feel like that describes the tone of a lot of the tracks we have so far. Proof of a Hero, Magnamalo, the village theme, etc. all feel very personal. Rise’s Proof of a Hero feels like YOUR theme song, Magnamalo’s theme feels like YOU and MAGNAMALO Mano-a-mano. The more restrained number of instruments pulls everything in closer, so it feels less sweeping but more punchy and personal.

[@Dnznxbebwushdn]

Eh, I think they applied it poorly. Don't miss interpret that, the theme itself is amazing. But it just starts playing randomly in the middle of the fight. It feels so off. Thing is, they had a much better place to put it too, but they didn't. They could've made it so that the dragonator activates a little later during the narwa fight (not ibushi, there's no good place to put it there) maybe make it do some extra damage for effect, and then play the theme after it hits. Would've worked alot better in my opinion.

[@suzuhare3541]

@@Dnznxbebwushdn Beating Narwa is basically ending the problem, the rampage, and Narwa's theme is already pretty epic in it's own way. But the Ibushi fight is the first elder you face in the game, not only that but in a rampage where it doesn't matter how much you die(faint) but how much you can defend the village, Ibushi literally goes to the last door immediately and does a lot of damage to it, that moment of being on the edge, the f-ing serpent doing like thousands of damage to the gate, with all the villagers fighting at your side for a brief moment, until you're alone and proof of a hero starts with the gate almost completely broken, I think it was applied well.

One thing I really like in games in general. Is that in the battle someone appears to help you and music changes to give you that feeling. "This is not over yet, let's end this together." It's not first time seeing this happening in Capcom game and I'am sure it's not last one either. But it's feels special that even Magnamalo is willing to take hunter's side. Since Magnamalo is not your friend and it doesn't have that kinda reason to help it. Magnamalo propably got tired all this rampage shit and though it's tired to be Narwa's bitch. Monster and Hunter just happens this time share the same goal, get rid of Narwa. And with that Magnamalo brough the Proof of a Hero and was like "I leave rest to you hunter, let's meet again in another battle."

Was in the 6* Hub Urgent Rampage quest, pretty much down and out with the boys. The enemy was about to batter the gate down. We had just refilled the splitting wyvernshot, hoping it would get the kill. We fired it at the monsters and wiped most of them out, but the apex remained. We were pretty certain we were going to fail the mission. After our ears stopped ringing we heard this track playing. The counter signal was rung and we hopped into the arena with newfound resolve. We dragged the beast from the gates, and with a little help from Yomogi and Elder Fugen we repelled the apex and stomped the rampage for good. Or so we thought...

The Hunter, on his last legs, shivering in the cold rain and howling wind, stares up at Narwa, gliding towards him to finish this miserable, wet scrap of flesh. A thump is heard. Both twist about in confusion, and the Hunter recognizes a Magnamalo, shaking itself off after its leap. It roars, and Hellfire blazes up around the beast. Narwa roars back, lightning dancing across her body. They clash. While the Hunter stands, another thump is heard. The Magnamalo is down, thrashing and roaring in Narwa’s grip. The Queen of Lightning prepares to finish off its enemy, but then, a chorus of instruments blares out of nowhere. Proof of a Hero. The Hunter stands, and Narwa twists back to stare down its new enemy. The Magnamalo blasts Narwa with Hellfire, and she lets out a crazed roar of pain, releasing the Magnamalo. It leaps to the side of the Hunter, quickly supporting the staggering human with its paw. The two nod and face an irate Narwa, lighting flashing and wind howling. They charge forward, Hellfire and lighting booming around them. Narwa charges forward, jaws open wide to snap the pair up, but the Magnamalo leaps sideways, out of Narwa’s teeth and slashing her across the face with its arm blade, giving the Hunter just enough time to Wirebug into the air and bring his weapon down on Narwa’s skull, and the Magnamalo jams its tail into Narwa’s face. The Queen has been taken down. Back at Kamura, Utsushi is nervously waiting by the gate, when a snarl is heard. The Magnamalo, bruised and cut, dripping with Narwa blood, arrives. Utsushi prepares to fight, Fugen arriving next to him. But the Hunter sits upon the beast’s back, and he jumps off, holding up the severed head of the Queen of the Rampage. Cheers erupt. The Hunter turns to the Magnamalo, and gently rubs its snout. It lets out a quick sniff, gently noses the Hunter, then leaves, bouncing back into the bamboo. But it leaves behind a scale from its tail, glittering in the dirt, a small mark from Narwa on it. *Something to remember our battle by* the monster thinks as it runs off. The Hunter gently pockets the scale, takes on last look at the forest. “Farewell my Friend!” He calls, before running into the village to join the festivities

@@BraveLeeDX what? I remember cheering because it started playing the chorus as magnamalo jumped in.

[@shame2189]

The singing and chanting makes this rendition stand out so much, it might even be my favorite! It’s like boss music for the hunter themselves.

[@cyber_ortek]

“This is for my fellow hunters!” “Hope you got insurance!” “Have a taste of THIS!” It is when this music plays and you almost shout these words together with the never-spoken-before Hunter

[@TheDevilDucker]

I really love how the hunters speaks during battle, most of the people thin is annoying, but DAMN, you can feel how they finally have real personality, some of them claims about protecting their fellow hunters, other ones want a new pair of boots during the carving proccess, and other even says "Sorry." to the monsters, because they're doing just their work as a hunter. It's a wonderful addition

[@adrianroque6990]

@@TheDevilDucker damn straight, I didn’t think much when picking my hunter’s voice, but as soon as it turned out he was a cocky bastard in it simply for the glory of taking down a giant monster, I was in love!

[@tropicallad4744]

Context: Facing off against MR All Mother Narwa I'm not sure if this was pure coincidence or it's scripted for the MR fight, but I had all three randoms joining in at the exact same time as soon as this played. Had Join Request up for the MR quest for anyone willing to join, either for melding points or Narwa mats. Not a single hunter joined and figured this late into the hunt ,with most of the parts destroyed, that this would be solo the whole way through. Got the scripted wyvern ride and the second that ends, those three join in with this OST going off in the background. I already wasn't the biggest fan of Sunbreak's final boss and preferred Narwa's spectacle over it, but that timing cemented that opinion.

I killed Magnamalo with my Longsword and my Palamute (who I named after my late black lab Onyx) and my Palico we stood on top of the body proud as the song finished and I carved the fucking beast. I now wait and train for the day I can fight High Rank Magna. And Rajang....I'm coming for you

Just imagine they create a Series/Anime for Monster Hunter. Narwa the brute of all Problems, fought by 4 Heroes, nearly at their Limit. But then, you hear a Familiar Scream, it is Magnamalo whom you fought back but realizing, the Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend. This Masterpiece pops up, all are ready for their Final battle. Magnamalo steps in First, taking his own revenge, followed by the Hunters. All are using their last Energy to slay the beast while Magna takes one Huge leap to pin it to the ground, followed by all Hunters, to slay the Beast and save the World. God...i need that SO much!

[@Dnznxbebwushdn]

Ya know, I first started playing monster hunter, I really sucked ass at it. Like really. I had virtually no idea what I was doing at all. I was stuck on this monster called the queropecco for a month (I think it was a month, honestly I'm not certain, I was six at the time.) I spent hours each day working at it, growing to be a stronger hunter each time I failed. Until one day, I did it. I was taught a lesson that day, you can solve most of your problems if you devote enough time to them. It also taught me that ideology is easier said than done, but nonetheless, i learned a lesson. My point is, whenever I hear 3:06 I'm reminded of that success, that triumph over hardship. (idk if you can tell by now, but I'm kinda miffed that mh rise wasn't that hard.) Edit: they made the new monsters fairly challenging, I'm pretty content with mh rise now.

[@squeezlebub3593]

Fun tip: If you want to extra challenge, commit to playing the game without using upgrade spheres on your armor. It’s a nice way to make the game a lot more punishing without actually forfeiting any of the fun stuff. Give it a shot! It’s what I did for Rise and honestly, I think it helped with my enjoyment a lot.

[@Dnznxbebwushdn]

@@squeezlebub3593 I started doing that after low rank, and it didn't help much, thanks for the suggestion though. As I said in my edit, the newer monsters are fairly challenging, so I'm fine with the game now.

[@sekiro_the_one-armed_wolf]

This was me with pink rathian in the fourth game. Semi unrelated, but If I remember correctly I was kinda really stupid and didn’t upgrade my armor or weapons until like more than half way through the low rank village quests lmao.

[@legmeg496]

@@Dnznxbebwushdn Yea they're a dectn level of challenging right now but the main problem boils downs to a wirefall cooldown, make wirefall usage more punishing and you'll have people carting left and right as the monsters allready hit like semi trucks

[@Dnznxbebwushdn]

@@legmeg496 I've noticed that the difficulty between weapons is... inconsistent. Something like the switch axe is 2 times harder to use than the long sword. To the point that il genuinely lose a few quests if I try and play too fast. Sometimes you literally can't avoid taking damage with that weapon.
