Dragalia Lost X Monster Hunter collaboration announced
- Thread starter MondoMega
- Start date
The leak that mentioned this event said that it had been in the works before the Mega Man one and that it would be bigger than it. The Mega Man collab disappointed me a lot so I hope this one is good.
I might end up coming back to the game, the fact that all the new content was becoming endgame/heavy grinders only turned me off it, but this digest looked great all over.

Nintendo always had crossovers with monster hunter games (3U, 4U, Gen, and GenU) when they were on their platform.
dw you didn't miss out and it will only get worse once the 6* weapon grind arrives.
RATHALOS?! I mean, Megaman ended up being a crappy T4 freebie character, so I don't hold much hope for Rathalos having very good stats, but I am still totally grinding the hell out of my Wind team to get him.
Yeah...
That was the first crossover event I had partaken in and I was surprised at how simple it was. I don't know how they did the Fire Emblem one before. All the other events have fun cutscenes so I expected about the same.
Atleast I didn't have to summon for Mega Man. Had saved up all the newbie wyrmite rewards so I could go ham, but only when the event was live I learned that wasn't necessary, lol.
With Mega Man, they deliberately styled it to be as close to Mega Man 2 as possible, which had no cutscenes outside the intro. The game was literally intro scene -> fight bosses to get advantages for others -> fight Wily -> credits, and that was exactly how the event played as well. I'm assuming MH games generally have more interactions, and DL will try to emulate that instead.

Which is 6 hours from now.
But that also comes with new Void weapons that are better than 5.3s, and will be a much easier path to a decent level of strength for those that don't want to run high dragons or Agito.
The big issue is that there was no story. Not only Megaman doesn't get any characters story, there was just a short prologue and ending mimicking the NES games. There were 5 short stages with tweaked dragons at the end all with a couple of new attacks mimicking Megaman bosses, then the completely new Willy and Megaman battles. However, with no story the event just didn't leave much of an impression.
In comparison, the Fire Emblem event also only had two unique bosses and both just reused playable characters with nothing like the Willy machine (Alfonse and Veronica) alongside a bunch of generic DL enemy knights, but it left a much stronger impression due to the event (and all playable characters added alongside it) having full story just like actual DL characters. I really don't get how they thought that minimalist style was a good idea.
Actually, it might be getting better. It seems like the Agito stuff will be more tied to the Void weapons, especially the ones from the Chimera battles. So HDT might end up being a completely separate line from these new bosses.
Monster Hunter generally has a guild person giving missions and pre-boss animations, but it's really not a story heavy game either. I really hope they don't just throw in a menu mimicking the ones where you choose quests with the mission background descriptions and stop there. It makes no sense - and it's not like the FE event was as lacking in story as FE Heroes itself is.

I mean that part would've been fine with me if Megaman had an actual set of adventurer stories.
Yeah. Rathalos is likely to be one of the game's dragon units, which means you'll equip it to one of the game's regular units and temporarily transform into it.
What characters? But, yeah, all announced characters in that video are playable (dragons are temporary transformations though and Rathalos likely will be one of those), although characters generally have generic movesets depending on their weapon types, only having unique special attacks/skills. A couple of them have unique attacks though. Megaman from the last collab was fully unique, reusing nothing from any other character and even having an exclusive "dragon" transformation replacement (Rush Jet).

Nobody's saying yolo in the actual game...
But you could blame 8-4 Play! for the localization memes.
It's a shame that the Megaman Event wasn't nearly as fantastic as the Fire Emblem event was, but I'm willing to give them another shot.
