As Ryodraco said, we take our share of materials, and the rest is given to the Guild/citizenry

[@jockpackage1770]

@@Ryodraco yeah. In some game, capturing them is a much worse fate. In World, it's all "we do some tests and then tag them so we know which ones are getting caught multiple times and so see how they've changed since we tagged them last." In some of the older games they imply or outright state that they suffer live dissections because that's a more valuable soruce of data. Depending on the game, capturing is either a mercy or the furthest thing form that.

[@jockpackage1770]

They did confirm, in interviews after we saw balahara, that balahara uses the exact same skeleton and lagiacrus would fit in well in the scarlet forest. It is the kind of map he likes, a forested map with a lot of water. Rise couldn't get it to work so they only had some leviathans with longer legs, so less of their snaky bodies make contact with the ground/have to worry about clipping. That's why things like mizu, almodron, and somnocanth exist. Somnocanth is very snaky but it's in a map with very flat zones for it, like the frost islands. I don't know the leaks, don't tell me. But, based on that being fixed, lagiacrus and agnaktor are more likely to show up this time.

[@Zahri8Alang]

9:50 Elder Dragons also share one thing in common with each other, the Elder blood Either they have some compounds that persists in their bloodstream, or its the cells itself

[@SpecLeader101]

In my own little head canon, i believe our hunter only ever hunted the monsters in the "Assignments" and "Special Assignments". They never slay, only captured them. Except of course, elder dragons were slain. All the optional stuff we did was filler and didnt happen.

[@samuraibeluga3749]

Thats not your head Canon, thats just straight up Canon that your Hunter is only doing each Quest once. The rest is just for Gameplay purposes.

[@ivybennett2274]

That is canon. Crossover and event quests aren't canon, and repeating quests aren't canon, and canonically most hunters can make a full set of gear from 1 or 2 hunts

[@DavySilverwind]

Just FYI in case anyone is interested, Kirin are based off Qilin from Chinese mythology (and therefore Kirin in Japanese as well as other asian cultures), a chimera which were depicted with dragon like features and were, I believe, at least part dragon.

[@jakobrux5586]

As soon as Gammoth showed up in the trailer it was clear that they are not only showing monsters that'll be in wilds.

[@iquartzie]

imagine a monster hunter spin off game where you are a guild knight hunting poachers and unraveling the corruption within the guild. where the "Balance" is actually to the favor of the guild's goal towards total dominion. and expeditions are secretly a march to world domination. The ancients used to co-exist til the guild had different plans, and the black dragon is actually an ancient that vowed revenged towards the guild.

[@luminous2585]

I love how you and Gaijin have completely different takes on this :D Sounds like an interesting discussion will be had during the next podcast.

[@bigwhiteshogun]

18:00 in the beta test there was a piece of dialogue that specifically mentioned we are coming from the west lands. If the game was taking place in New World they would say we are coming from East Lands, as New World is placed to the West from the old continent. If we are hunters from New World and we are coming from west lands that means the game takes place on the old continent. I'm more keen that we are hunters from the old continent and we are traveling east. We know there is another continent out there that was never properly explored as well.

[@Anarkyfloyd]

She's not

[@marmyeater]

@Anarkyfloyd How so?

[@tatsumiuchiha5559]

10:35 I had this issue in World. I blame the game partially tbh, cause the first Elder Dragon you see is Zorah Magdaros -- Huge, Imposing, Lava-Magma Hot, Destroyed a fleet by just passing through, and has a beard like an old man -- The true epitome of Dragons for me (old, wise, powerful but not violent). And then the 2nd one is Nergigante, who is miniature compared to Zorah, has no powers (that the game explained), and is just a random spiky horned monster. So when the Guild classified it as an Elder Dragon, I was extremely confused, coz in my mind, I was thinking Elder Dragons all being that as big and imposing as Zorah, with similar elemental abilities... I was like "There's no way that winged hedgehog-bull is in the same category as Zorah. Maybe they just didn't know what to do with it." Ofcourse as I played the game more, and also saw different lore videos, I got a much better understanding of what Elder Dragons are and why Nergi is one, but at the start, I genuinely refused to accept Nergi as a "true elder dragon".

[@kumatorahaltmanndreemurr]

I had kind of a similar experience starting with Rise. Ibushi was my first Elder Dragon, and he definitely fit my expectations: huge, mysterious, terrifyingly powerful. Then I fought Chameleos and I was like… huh?? Of course, the more I learned about Elder Dragons the more I came to appreciate how diverse of a classification it is

[@Th3King0fHearts]

[@shimik11]

3:45 good point, in the trailers for wilds we hear the kid say he wants to kill arkveld for revenge and states the "monster hunters" did nothing to save his village but the guild probably doesnt wanna kill it because it is an "extinct" species and thats where the conflicting viewpoints begin

it could be just coincidence since they did the same for dd, but i agree they with you they are absolutely priming the audience, emphasizing/reminding the role of hunters probably because that aspect is going to be a important aspect of the story. i mean granted it als was in world, but i really think its going to have a more personal angle this time.

[@diogomiranda5183]

Aren't elders called that because they are functionally different from regular monsters? Sure they are much more powerful, but I was under the impression that elders are much longer lived than regular monsters, and that they don't eat other monsters, they feed off life energy or something along those lines.

[@samuraibeluga3749]

Its may be The case that they can ALSO tap into energy for sustenance, but we know its not The case exclusively. For example kushala is part geovore, hes known to eat minerals as well, most likely to sustain The production of metal like scales. Elders were initially a title given to anything that didint reallyfit any others classification, hence kirin, but now we can actually trace them all back to a common ancestor. for all intents and purposes they are still animals

[@VonDarko]

They are long lived and have a effect on the ecosystem

[@marmyeater]

They are longer lived, just as intelligent as people, and have actual magic. They also still eat things: other monsters (including other elder dragons), grass, and gunpowder to name a few.

[@andreamassari7954]

I think people idealize ED too much. As I see it, ED are "just" the true apexes of the MH's world. They're the most powerful, they have a very high lifespan and they affect they're ecosystem way more than any other. And also they are very intelligent and have way more unusual and powerful abilities, while not being straight up magic. But at the end of the day, they eat, they reproduce, they die like everyone else and even some non Elder monsters can take them down like Akantor/Ukanlos, Ahtal-ka, Rajang or Flamming Espinas to name a few

[@soyUsernameWasTaken]

Nah, you didn't sound like a lunatic. With all respect to his OG-ness, Gaijin did sound like a lunatic. I just find the video a nice walk down memory lane. With some surprisingly accurate 4th wallbreak, like how our knowledge are used throughout every generations with new twists on new titles. Or how veteran hunters pays attention to stuff that rookies don't. Or how the hunt is neverending, probably a nudge to people who stops playing after the credits rolls. All in all, nice video.

[@Cap_The_Captain]

It's funny that World, the game with unskippable cutscenes, the game that brings up nature's balance repeatedly, is the game where people kinda just didn't get the fuggin message. xD Also Shara Ishvalda theme heard, peak video. A Hoonter must Hoont. Bloodborne collab confirmed. (It would be peak)

[@LordOfAsshes]

[@NoahCallenberg]

9:03 to be fair, kirin is based off of a mythological creature also called kirin (or qillin), which is a dragon like creature. Dalmadur also can count as a dragon since the word dragon litterally is supposed to symbolise giant serpent (this is kinda loose though, since snake wyverns exist. Other than those all elder dragons have 6 limbs (except of the wind and thunder serpents and amatsu, but they’re based off of chineses dragons so it still counts) so it’s easy to recognise if it’s one or not
