User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Glavenus/@comment-4911512-20161127180601

Before MHX even came out, I already took a huge interest in Glavenus. After playing through Gen, he's my favorite monster at this point. I love everything about it. It looks badass, I really like the roar, and the music is great and fitting to the monster (which can be said about the rest of the fated four to me as well). It's really fun to fight as well, and can be pretty challenging. Yeah, Abio had the fire element and sword tail combo first. Ok, cool. But I fail to see the similarities gameplay-wise. Now, granted I haven't played frontier, I tried to look for videos of Abio to see how it fights. And to me it seems like Abio fights more like Devijho than Glavenus. The only thing I could see that was really similar were the same Brute Wyvern animations that all of them share. I probably need to play for myself to be sure though. I like Glavenus' design better. I feel like he pulls it off better. Abio is still awesome though. I feel like comparing a main series and Frontier monster with similar concepts but different executions is a bit unfair anyway. It seems like Frontier can so a lot more in the long run. I'll just appreciate how the main series can still do something a bit different.
