Love this upgrade new system, it allows you focus on what really matters: Hunting and making/improoving gear, although this will not gaet rid of grinding, this system reduces it drastically, I'm syre I'll make more weapons and gear in this game thanks to this...If it releases in the west.

Looks like this game is trying to take the main series to a bew direction for 5th gen onwards, and I think they're making an excelent job.
