User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion of the Week: 2018/@comment-26421638-20181230220013

1) Objectively was a good year for MH with the release of MHW, an unexpected localization for MHXX (and Stories for Android/iOS) and, even if only for Japan, a major update for Frontier (Zenith Z) so I can easily tell that 2018 was a good year for MH fans. Subjectively, unfortunately, is a different story: MHW isn't exactly my favorite MH Game, the lack of localization of MHXX for 3ds forces me to buy a Switch sooner or later and MHST 1.2/1.3 update is stuck in limbo; and then there's RL stuff...

2) I Don't want to make promises that I can't keep... Does it count as a resolution?

3) Who lives hoping, dies po*ping.

4 and 5) https://monsterhunter.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:BannedLagiacrus/Discussion_of_the_Week:_2017 scroll a few comments below.

6) theoretically good and needed to improve MH with a breath of fresh air but the first step wasn't the best and certainly far away to my taste, but there's room of improvement.

7) indirectly answered in question N1.

8) Unlikely but not impossible, I would like to see 1.2/1.3 update at least for Android/iOS (since 3ds is probably out of support by most of software houses) and maybe a sequel too (for Switch or mobile).

9) Final Fantasy collab is garbage and Horizon ZD equipment is very forgettable, but they set a high bar with collabs, DmC (1) is still my favorite collab but I'm really curious about The Witcher Collab (Praying for a quest with Kirin since... Well... Stuffed unicorns... Yennefer... Geralt... If you've played the Witcher probably you'll get the reference).

10) Ice area + Nargacuga is enough to gime me some interest!

11) Returning areas? None of them, leave returning areas for 6th Gen Games or for the end of 5th Gen. Returning Monsters? Where should I start? Barioth, Zamtrios, Gravios, Monoblos, Zinogre, Brachydios, Tigrex, Kecha Wacha, Rajang, Nerscylla, Magalas, Seregios, Akantor, Ukanlos, Chameleos and Great "JBWroggis". To a lesser extent also Duramboros, Blangonga, Khezu, Gigginox, Royal Ludroth and Agnaktor. (Unfortunately Leviathans is really unlikely since Lagiacrus had some stiff neck according Capcom i blame Scoutflies for that >:( . New Monsters? Probably yes but I'm out of ideas for now.

12) Well, monsters and Elder Dragons were attracted to the new world because of Xeno'jiiva, At this point where Xeno is dead, Monsters doesn't have any reason to migrate to the new world, unless if there's something else. Zorah may still be involved but I prefer not.

13 and 15) Rathian, Diablos, Daora, Teostra (or alternatively a G Rank Supremacy Teostra), Taikun Zamuza (or a Extreme Individual) and Forokururu.

14) Yes!

16) Ukanlos, Duramboros, Agnaktor, Lagiacrus and Alatreon. Maybe Fated Fours too.

17) I'm not really interested about it, nothing wrong with it but I'm simply not interested.

18) Never say never.

19) My first encounter with Teostra in MHW, soloing Arch-Tempered Xeno'jiiva and the Localization of MHGU...

20) ...Which wasn't localized for 3ds, Behemoth (I'm gonna "shishpost" another day) and at last but not least, my MHW save data corrupted by a totally not recommended external storage. Now I "recovered" everything with a new save data and even more but I've still wasted 100 hours of gameplay.

21) Despite everything is still my favorite series. For how long? I guess nine years but I'm not sure.

In exactly 25 hours from the moment where I wrote this comment, a new year will begin... so... I wish to all of you a happy 2019, including your friends and families!
