How often do you think about Monster Hunter? No, not talking about which monster to hunt next or what weapon upgrade path to follow… I’m talking about reflecting on deeper aspects of the series as a whole.

Turns out Siliconera ‘s own Ishaan took the time to evaluate how  Monster Hunter Tri has impacted the way the series as a whole!

Granted, they’ve also had the oportunity to ask questions directly to the series’ producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, which gave them the extra insight for their hypothesis. Anyways, you should definitely read the article and think about the games a little more after that. Here’s one quote that stood out to me:

” The concept behind the game was to recreate the Monster Hunter  world and the game’s mechanics from the ground up while maintaining the feel of the series, and in order to do this, Capcom took a no-holds-barred approach to development.”

How many times do you hear of successfull franchices doing that?

Also worth noting this is how I found out the Flooded Forest area was inspired by the wetlands in my home country, Brazil. Neat!
