1: Hmm, I actually quite enjoyed 2018! It was quite a wild ride!

2: My New Year's Resolution is to be... I dunno? Perhaps be a bit nicer than before?

3: I hope that we get lots of juicy Monster Hunter content within 2019! (There's also some other games I really like, but I'll talk about those later.)

4: I started with the 4th Generation, baby!

5: Well, back in 2013,, I saw that there were many unique monster designs, so I started liking the franchise. I didn't get my first true game until 2 years later (MHFU became available on mobile devices a year before, but playing THAT game on those platforms is like dancing with death), so yeah. Also, I had a pretty tough time as a beginner.

6: Pretty "meh", to be honest. Saying that Monster Hunter: World is a shitty game is a bit of a stretch, IMO, but it was a little disappointing (mostly because of the monsters and the locales; everything else is AWESOME). I just hope Iceborne rectifies this a bit.

7: Out of those 4 games, I've only played GU and World so far, and GU seems to be 5% better.

8: Oh, it will.

9: The earlier collaborations were pretty cool. You completed a quest and then got a snazzy outfit in return, which was pretty in-line with what we got before. The abominable Final Fantasy collab, however... shudders

10: I'm not going to lie, I was actually pretty hyped.

11: Seeing as Nargacuga came back, I kinda hope we get Duramboros and Brachydios as well!

12: Eh, I'm not sure. I expect it to involve Zorah Magdaros' death, though.

13: Give Rathian a Zenith Species because, frankly, she quite needs it (most of the Zenith species we've seen so far are great).

14: No. No. Just no. Let that even less intimidating Kut-Ku stay dead. Oh, and kill Lavasioth, too.

15: Why'd you ask the same question twice?

16: I'd expect one of the Fated Four to get added to Frontier next. As to what they'd do, just take their natural abilities (Astalos' electroshocks, Gammoth's snowblowing, etc.) and crank them up to 11 (hell, transfer some of the variants' abilities onto the regular version so that we can get Glavenus causing explosions all over the place).

17: I am looking forward to it! As for stories, I expect the Ace Hunters to show up, and I expect a backstory for at least most of them. Judging by the Nerscylla on the official promo art, I expect 4th Gen monsters to show up, and I have a hunch that the interloping Elder Dragon will either be Shagaru Magala or Kushala Daora.

18: I don't think so; judging the whole thing from a "regular content flow" standpoint, they would have added it in by now, wouldn't they?

19: The announcements of Generations Ultimate and Legends of the Guild were amazing, as was the appearance of Rathalos in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. As well as this, some of the event quests in World were surprisingly very thrilling!

20: Almost every major update monster World has gotten this year has proven to be mediocre at best and frickin' terrible at most. Also, the Arch-Tempered Monsters kinda suck, for the most part (Xeno'jiiva is an exception).

21: I've been a fan of the franchise for 5 years now, and even though World proved to be somewhat lackluster, I don't really like the series any less than I did before; it's still pretty thrilling!
