Oh im completely joking about frontier monsters, some are cool but have obvious flaws.

@Kogath, the thing about Subs is that their function in the series is fundamentally different than deviants. You cant mix deviant armor sets, while R type armors strongly suggest mixing of armors within the same armor family. Things like Helios mixed sets among many others cant be made without subs existing, unless they chamge how they are made (ik they have with some by using hyper monster mats). Plus, some subs were just a matter of preference. I like Berserk Tetsucabra/Brute Tigrex fights more than i do their deviants probably because i have a massive bias towards their armors. Thats my argument but do i think they are in XX? Very little chance.

And about returning monsters, i fully expect the 3 that i mentioned in my first post cause they are some of the last few entirely unique monsters. That being said, if we are talking about monsters with a big legacy to the series, Shen, Yama, and Fatalis then all have that likely opportunity. If they do, however i hope they treat all 4 gens equally and bring other endgame bosses, like Gog and Dalamadur (Dire Miralis lmao)
