I would legitimately play a mainline MH game with Stories 2's art style. Love the vibrant colors and the monsties look.

[@rerega3177]

Id play that too. But one art style i would want to see at some point in stories 3/4/5 or whenever would be the style they used for some of the cutscenes in mhst1 where it was simply way more detailed like when chevals house mom gets killed/ "the looming nightmare" cutscene. all they'd have to do is fix the faces and make it a bit sharper and id be all about it.

So for a bit of an answer to Cotton's food question, there's a Japanese dish called Oyakodon which while it doesn't refer directly to the ingredients which are chicken and egg it refers to them being parent and child if that makes sense. I believe if I'm not being incredibly stupid the Oya = Parent and the ko = child, so maybe this will sate your want for interesting dishes using the same animal twice.

So according to what Navirou told us about his first meeting with Sarge, he already looked as weird as he does BEFORE getting involved with Manelger. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense, since the way Navirou looks is both _restricted to_ and _a defining trait of_ the Felynes who were experimented on by Manelger… UNLESS Manelger specifically chose them because of how they looked.
