[Locamotable]

moist

 

[Exentryk]

EDIT - nvm

- 4 Players Online Quests

So Monster Hunter like?

 

[Altima]

4 players online at the same time like Phantasy Star ??

 

[KingSnake]

Perfect!

 

[Gambit]

Awesome. Optional online questing is great.

 

[Litri]

Ok.

 

[Neo Dark]

Sounds fun. Now give me a release date here in North America

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I'd like to imagine these quests like the MonHun arena fights.

 

[Otakumegane]

4 player vs Superboss.

That is going to be some yummy stuff.

 

[random25]

The online mode looks good. Not intruding with the Single Player experience.

It would be fun if the online quests will have regular content updates just to keep playing it after finishing the story.

 

[Nibel]

4-player mech combat?

 

[raven777]

so that loosely connected online was info exchange + item trading. Sounds cool.

 

[Arxisz]

Sounds good.

 

[random25]

4 player vs Superboss.

That is going to be some yummy stuff.

4-player mission to find a cat somewhere in the continent.

 

[Nanashrew]

Yessssss!

 

[threelights]

Well... It was coming sooner or later...

I will never ignore something as hard as I will ignore this mode.

 

[Isotope]

ONLINE.

WE IN THERE.

 

[JoeM86]

I wonder if it'll have voice chat

Seriously though, sounds great. Even more interested in it now

 

[Zareka]

4 player co-op?!

I wish my friends had Wii U's.

Spoiler

I wish I had friends.

 

[Vanillalite]

So basically more Monster Hunter than PSO.

 

[rhandino]

YAAAAAAAS!

I look forward to make some quest with some GAF members =D

[RPGCrazied]

Hopefully you can still do those quests in single player if you want to.

 

[Renewed]

I wonder how beneficial these indirect interactions will be. Obviously you don't want someone doing all the work for you. I wonder if the information exchange is limited to small things or if it'll list something in full detail. Like, a monster's traits, skills, item drops and rate and whatnot.

 

[Dead Prince]

all over me so hard. so hard.

 

[hoserx]

booooooiiiiiiinggggggggggggggggggggg

Oh lordy. I need to sit down.

 

[jonno394]

So optional 4 player online quests, that's fine with me, doesn't pollute my single player experience with multiplayer stuff that I don't want.

720p confirmed, was to be expected though.

 

[Magusx]

Shame it's 720p but I'm ok with it.

 

[pinkurocket]

"4 Players Online Quests"

WOW MEGATON

 

[BlackJace]

Let's get some super bosses to kill

 

[Crazymoogle]

So no Classic pro controller?

Pretty sure devs would rather not go out of their way to support an original Wii peripheral.

 

[anaron]

Remember all those stupid pre-emptive "ONLINE RUINS IT I DONT WANT NO MMO! NOT PLAYING THIS" posts?

They look even dumber now.

 

[Corgi]

do we know what the bottom screen is used for?

God I hope you can map skills at least. Don't make me cycle skills with the dpad

 

[TheFatMan]

I'm done for some optional 4 player online quests! Maybe take down some of those gigantic monsters we've been seeing?

I'm curious to learn more!

 

[Dr. Buni]

So no online in the main game? Good.

 

[random25]

If it's similar to Xenoblade then mapping skills in the battle interface is possible.

[Tenki]

4 friends playing = GOAT

 

[Enforced]

Sweet! I'm already feeling it.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Hope I can take on those co-op quests on my own.

Just posted in the other thread about Pro Controller support. I'll mostly use the Gamepad but like having the option. Hope they have voice chat in the US (they won't).

 

[Tom_Cody]

That sounds like a pretty fun solution.

 

[Peltz]

My hype is at holy shit levels.

I'm about to go number 3 on the spot.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

- 4 Players Online Quests

Holy shit yes.

Why do they look dumber? The online play has been verified, this tiny bit of information doesn't say anything about how much of the game is designed around online play, or how good the single player game is.
