sir_crocodile · Sep 17, 2020

Didn't see a thread for it weirdly. No interest?

Deleted member 10737 · Sep 17, 2020

looked really good

KOfLegend · Sep 17, 2020

Was hoping for a port of 1 since an HD version already exists, but oh well. Liked what I played of the first so I'm definitely looking forward to this! Just gotta go back and finish 1 first.

BasilZero · Sep 17, 2020

I'm liking this....does it have ties to the first one storywise?

The design looks perfect for....Breath of Fire....damn you Capcom :(

SalvaPot · Sep 17, 2020

It looks very pretty.

Rosebud · Sep 17, 2020

Best announcement to me

Amnixia · Sep 17, 2020

Didn't play the first, was it good?

Forkball · Sep 17, 2020

I heard the first one was good and we could always use more Pokémon clones.

Moves · Sep 17, 2020

Unfamiliar with Stories. Is this a single player version of Monster Hunter with a focused story? Or completely different mechanics?

Mr. Snuffleupagus · Sep 17, 2020

Translation on Stories 2 is near to done, so they're certainly holding it back a bit to space out releases.

flohen95 · Sep 17, 2020

The only Monster Hunter thing I care about.
Loved the first one and I am beyond hyped for this. Didn't think It'd happen considering that the first game seemed to disappoint saleswise. Good on Capcom for trying again.

TimeFire · Sep 17, 2020

This looks GREAT! I will always welcome turn-based rpg spinoffs. Do you need to play the first to understand this one?

BlueRose · Sep 17, 2020

I'm more excited for this than Rise to be honest. I loved the first game so much. I bought a copy of the Japanese Edition for the content updates and the Amiibos. I was hoping for a port of the first game too, but I'm just happy Capcom gave the property another chance with a sequel.

MegaSackman · Sep 17, 2020

I think I'm more interested in this than in Rise.

Yep. Single-player focused with story plots. The mechanics are similar with each other.

makonero · Sep 17, 2020

This is one of my most anticipated games now. One of the best 3DS games.

Not the same mechanics at all. Monster Hunter Stories has a Rock/Paper/Scissors turn based battle system.

hrœrekr · Sep 17, 2020

Any trailer available?

CaviarMeths · Sep 17, 2020

Definitely more interested in this than Rise.

Mr.Deadshot · Sep 17, 2020

Fantastic. First game was great.

It's a Pokemon inspired spin-off RPG where you fight alongside the monsters and also collect them. And, yes, it's a single player RPG although you can also battle other players.

Aleh · Sep 17, 2020

It's so pretty *-*

Faiyaz · Sep 17, 2020

Looks beautiful. Hopefully they show some gameplay in the MH Direct right now.

Yes, an extremely overlooked RPG.

Zedark · Sep 17, 2020

Looked, really good, definitely interested in this one!

DaleCooper · Sep 17, 2020

Is this the title that is supposed to target teens? I saw a couple of Stories 1 reviews yesterday, and it sounds like the storyline was targeting either kids or teens.

Redcrayon · Sep 17, 2020

They are about to start coverage of it in the MH direct. It will have some 'compatibility features' with MH Rise.

Sedated · Sep 17, 2020

Art style wise the better looking mh. This was a good showing

King Kingo · Sep 17, 2020

I'd love to see a Switch port of the first game just so the entire sub-series can be on one system.

the story is better than pokemons, but not by much. it's the gameplay and the world that really shines.

I was referring to Monster Hunter Stories 1 and 2 being similar to each other.

kurahador · Sep 17, 2020

Kinda hoping they port the first game as well. The graphic seems pretty much designed for home console.

Spring-Loaded · Sep 17, 2020

Breath of the Rathalos aesthetic—looks great!

the person you quoted was asking if it was similar mechanics to monster hunter since they were unfamiliar with monster hunter stories. no worries, just didn't want that poster to be misled.

The reference to 'Red's kinship stone and a Rath egg' at the start of the trailer is a reference to the first game, but I suspect only in a 'this stone is passed down from a great hero' kinda way. Nothing more than a nod (as far as I can tell).

'Rathalos are disappearing'. Yeah I think I've killed several hundred looking for rubies myself... :D

hrœrekr · Sep 17, 2020

Not gonna lie, that sleeping dragon scene gave me Breath of Fire vibes

NeonZ · Sep 17, 2020

Going by the Direct right now, the new one seems to have a mostly standalone story. The main hero is a descendant of legendary rider Red.

Gambit · Sep 17, 2020

looks so great. Love the art style

T002 Tyrant · Sep 17, 2020

Looks better than Rise that's for sure. Amazing how much can be hidden in a clean art style.

Deleted member 10737 · Sep 17, 2020

is this a story sequel?

Lastbroadcast · Sep 17, 2020

I have no idea what this series is, but this looked really good

Deleted member 864 · Sep 17, 2020

Looks really nice.

Xavi · Sep 17, 2020

More excited for this than MH:Rise. I need to see the battle system though.

MegaSackman · Sep 17, 2020

Yeah this is the Monster Hunter I want the most from Switch but I'm still in on Rise lol MH is great.

Glio · Sep 17, 2020

Visually I like it much more than Rise, tbh.

Pokémon · Sep 17, 2020

Stories artstyle was already great on the 3DS from what I have seen in trailers but here it shines even more, wow.

B00T · Sep 17, 2020

MH Stories 1 was great, so I'm so in for this!

ConfusedOwl · Sep 17, 2020

Monster Hunter fans are feasting in 2021. I need to go back and beat the first game on 3DS now.

Aniki · Sep 17, 2020

Did the first game have an enjoyable story or good character interactions? This games art style looks so nice and makes me really wanna play it.

All we know is the main character is a descendant of the hero from the first game.

Lelouch0612 · Sep 17, 2020

It looked great and the connectivity with Rise is a great idea.
