Monster Hunter 4 will be bringing back the Felyne equipment feature which was available in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd for PSP in Japan. By visiting the blacksmith, youll get to make various equipment such as weapons, head gear and body armor for your Felynes. The headgear will give your Felyne characteristic traits on what type of monsters theyll attack, such as small or large monsters.
Weve already seen two of Monster Hunter 4s townsthe trading commerce, Barubare, where many travelers and hunters around the world gather, and Naguri Village, a place that is surrounded by molting lava, ideal for any blacksmith. The third area is called Chico Village, and unlike the previous two, its a small and calm area surrounded by the sea.
PocaPoca Island is a small island next to Chico Village. This island has many features that are similar to what was available on farms in previous Monster Hunter games. You can send out the Mon Nyan Felyne crew off on quests and theyll return with items that are needed to make Felyne equipment. There are three different routes of near, normal and far quest routes, with the further quests being tougher but more rewarding. Youll need to equip food for them, which has a maximum of three slots and depletes as they go on quests.
For the first time, youll actually be participating in the Felyne quests by pressing the touch screen to activate their skills, however, youll also have to keep in mind which skills to use, as they can also back fire on you if not used properly.
Finally, heres a look at the new fishing machine that is available on PocaPoca Island. It requires Felynes and stock to use. It may seem easy to use, but it can be quite tricky, as the goal is to aim for an area that has more fish. If the fish move during the last second before you shoot, youll end up with a rather poor catch. There are also Felynes who specialize in fishing, making them a great boost for this feature.
