Stories direct bit was pretty much: trailer, "Has some kind of features that work with Rise", "we'll show more at TGS"
I assume the feature is probably costumes or somesuch depending on save game data, but we'll see

There was a lot you could do to make battles feel less like rock paper scissors in MH Stories 1, especially as you progressed further and could customize your monster's movesets.
Yup, stories 2 will probably have most of the monsters in the series too. Its a Pokemon-esque type game that is capitalizing off of the monster variety in the series. So anyone disappointed with Pokemon, honestly the first game was so much better than anything Gamefreak has put out in years imo. Looking forward to this heavily.
I thought it looked great. I found out the first game is on 3DS which I don't have. Will it require knowledge of that game to enjoy?
i liked the setup because it made you pay attention to each monster's "strategy" and meant you could counter it properly knowing their patterns.
always got excited when i lucked into the right pattern the first time around.
No returning characters in the trailer, just some minor references, so it's probably a standalone story.
Someone in the chat on the live showing said we never got the Rajang DLC for the original, is that true? I wanted to use it before beating the game so I've been waiting and forgot lol
Loved the first one, and this looks incredibly pretty. More than MH rose actually.
Will buy both anyway.

Man, this game is pretty. Not to derail but seeing games like this look this good on Switch is kind of depressing for a Pokemon fan. Maybe Game Freak should partner with this team on future Pokemon titles....
a game freak/capcom produced pokemon game would be god-tier
In the original, you made your own rider. Presumably this will be the same.
Yep, we didn't get the later updates which added more monsters, an end-game tower with appearances from the anime s1/s2 characters and full customization for the main character at any time (including many new pieces based on the anime characters).
Oddly, even the later localized mobile port is missing all that too.
The battle system was AMAZING! It aligned with MonHun with learning attack patterns of monsters and PvP was crazy because it was more about resource management and the RPS elements were rarely used, but helped to give depth to the combat when resources were low.
RPS hate is just because a lot of people didn't make it past the introduction of the system and see the advancement and additional options that are taught after. It goes a LONG way to making just about every monster viable in combat - something most other pokemon and similar games can never manage.
Though we don't know for sure, the previous Stories had a character creator that's like the regular Monster Hunter creator.
No, I played a good ~5ish hours, and finished Fate Extra. I just fucking hate RPS systems.
I also liked the system. If you remembered the monster tendencies (Velocidrome likes quick attacks, Deviljho likes power attacks, etc.), it was easy to win the head-to-head fights much of the time by choosing the appropriate counterattack. It worked as a turn-based way of memorizing monster tells and felt quite appropriate.
Good, Thanks. Then i don't think we have a reason to think they would change that until we hear otherwise.
