The focus on preparation, crafting, mining, setting up camp, etc in that is great.Defuser said:

The pacing behind that was awful. It's centered around a hunter making his new gear and weapon to take on the new wyvern. Hardly any interesting action and no reference or mention of the cat warriors! I was expecting some sort of climax or resolve by the end of the vid.

Anyone in GAF already got the game?

I *want* this, but refuse to read languages I cannot comprehend
I thought it was WTF amazing. Loved the fact that they focused on the gathering/crafting aspects of the game as well as representing the capturing process in high fidelity visuals.spindoc said:
Holy shit HR 9 :O?spindoc said:WHITE AKA WAHHHHHHHH
Seems like a new mountain zone, similar to the volcano one that the original Akantor had.

Not only that,check out the weapons made out of white aka.

This is one of the very few games that I really mind and hate seeing pirated ISO coming earlier than the real games.... SCREW YOU Capcom Asia for holding the game release here!
But anyways... the game will be in my hands in a few hours
EDIT: By the way... I just read from another forums that there is Lao training in this game... LOL
AnimeTheme said:
Haha, someone was joking about it a few days ago. What a waste of time...
Those raw numbers for the white aka weapons are just too much, I really hope other endgame weapons match those numbers; its a bore when everyone ends up using the same gear!
edit: Want to post a few official PSP wallpapers, these apparently came from the Playstation Spot service:

Is this game any good solo because I'm never going to have friends who play it and I'm not dedicated enough to do Xlink. If it's good solo I'll track down a copy.
I think all of the white aka weapons have -30% affinity.
I don't have the game yet, but someones posted a repository of snaps of the new gear here:http://www.geocities.jp/mix_red0000/

yeah,I kinda suspect it's too good to be true anyway.spindoc said:I think all of the white aka weapons have -30% affinity.

Wow, did you purchase the game in Japan or did you acquire it elsewhere?!
No wait,sorry. It's my akantor armor that is nerfing the LS gauge. But the spirit gauge will drop constantly fast.Error said:
Akantor bow is nerfed to 252 damage,160 dragon, and only 2 charges which is lvl3 scatter and lvl 3 pierce
But it can be upgraded.Akantor melee Armor is nerfed. They reduced earplug skill by 5 points and added a new negative skill which maybe leads to nerfing of the spirit gauge.
Oh and Feylne skill Heroic no longer can stack with armor skill Adrenaline+2 for the total of x 1.8 attack bonus anymore. (Kyoufu am cry)
That's all for the next few hours,I'm gonna sleep. You can ask for more differences from Animetheme or spindoc.
DL quest and content is finally up!!!

When I was picking up Phantasy Star Complete they had signs that pretty much said "Haha, no." in regards to MH.
I'm going to Osaka to do some game shopping anyway, but my hopes are not up!

I bought MHF2 a few weeks back and only started to do a few 2 star quests and am really enjoying it. With no US release announced I'd like to get into this but had 1 major thing holding me back. Since I'm not the highest rank is there a reason to get this now or should I aim for the highest rank in MHF2 before buying this and playing with fellow gaffers..

2nd G does allow you to start from scratch or import your save, but it'll be a good 100 hours before you can start to touch the new content. Stick with your original purchase, as you can cover the same ground, in english at least, and if you decide you're really liking it and want more, you can migrate your character over to 2nd G.
LOL, G class quest is really challenging since almost all the monsters have new tricks which leads to instant death or nearly dead. The best armor you gain from MHP2 is a fucking joke against these G class monsters.
Me & AnimeTheme have a long hard time surviving and killing these monsters. You can't even be at ease against a zazami(Hermitaur). They hit hard.

Got mine from NCSx this morning (next day delivery cost as much as the game lol, but it's my birthday, eh, so what the hell). Will play SP for a bit and jump online later after I run to the bank.

Myself and my cat, Apple.
New yellow spark animation when you hit the head with hammers for KO effect chances. Nice to see this visual que added.
IMO the coolest LS. It's called Phantom Mirage and made from Chameleos. It's so neat. It's made from his toungue, flesh, and makes the whipping sound as the slash sound effect. When sheathed, the purple flesh wraps around the blade, when unsheathed is coils up toward the hilt. Best part is, when your spirit gauge is full, THE BLADE TURNS INVISIBLE. Very cool design.

Error said:fuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I need this
how's the cat AI? is it as awesome as the trailer made it out to be?
The cat is pretty terrible, but I guess that's because I haven't given him any skills yet. I only gave him Fire element because we were fighting Khezu. My cat throws small barrel bombs and does a tiny bit of melee action. The cat gets KO'd really fast and recovered underground most of the time. It only took one Monoblos charge to KO Apple. When the cat's HP are recovered they pop back up into action. Once when Gypceros had me dizzy the cat whacked me, and another time he/she woke me up from a sleep attack from Hypnoc. I read from others that the bombing cat can get really awesome. Have to learn more.
BOSS CHANGES
===========
Gypceros - You've seen the stretchy tail whip from the trailer, but what they don't show you is once his crystal is broken, his flash animation makes a poison gas explosion ala Gravios/Basarios gas attacks. When in rage mode and frothing poison from his mouth, his bite attacks poisoned me. Also, his chance to steal with his bite attacks has shot way up. Don't bring your charms ever.
Zazami - His mile high jump now follows you instead of staying in place. The backwards running attack now ends with a wonderfully animated jump at you. The big scissor attack with the claws now has a delay, like he's charging it. Probably is much stonger than normally.
Khezu/Furufuru - He has two versions of his electric shot, the old 3-way and now a 5-way and the que to the new one is a huge, much more potent spark build-up on his mouth as he gets ready. The attack from the trailer that shows him lunging forward whith his whole body. It'll probably catch you off guard the first time since it looks like he's just walking. When raged, this move is electrified. And I swear to god, when he jumped to the cave ceiling he swung off and landed in another direction Bionic commando style, but I could be dead wrong. Only saw that once, but I thought it was too fast to be jumping up, turning, landing.
Monoblos - New uppercut from the trailer, and he can now do a non-raged run at rage speed, and the que to this is he'll do a different kind of roar before it. In other words, he can run at rage speed without the red marks on his head that tell you he's in rage mode.
Basarios - Uses the Gravios beam. I know it was super rare in the last game but not only did he use it, he used the sweeping beam too. He'll also did a failed sweeping beam animation where he just screams really loud but his head is moving from side-to-side. He's only a young Gravios afterall, so he hasn't mastered it yet (lol).
BabaKonga - the breath attack seems to have a larger reach, and it was the fart gas instead of fire or whatever his mushroom is (bad breath??). When he's inflated, there's a chance that he'll fart a huge gas bomb. He just seems to fart a lot more often than normal. Definately bring deodorants to his battle.
GUNLANCE
=======
The guard-and-poke is way slower now, but on the other hand the normal attacks are faster and seem to combo a lot quicker. The thunder GL is very short. Either that or the hit detection on bosses has gotten smaller. My normal methods were not making contact at all, and I was up in their face poking. Could just be me though.
ARMOR & SKILLS
============
If you were a SSP user like me, you will be enraged. None of my armor combos that include SSP have any of the skills they did previously. All skill numbers seem to have gotten rearranged or the skills themselves need more points. For example, Guard +2 now needs 20 points, so I had to make the Auroros headpiece just to get Guard+2 and Guard Inc but sacrificed my ESP. Hopefully the higher armors will be what we're used to.
This was written in a drunken haze so sorry for bad spelling...
