1. Yeah, I tend to enjoy them, even... whatever the hell the end of Generations was.

2. Tri, mostly because it was the first one I beat, but the music was amazing, the cinematic was so heartwarming, and Ceadeus was just so majestic. Such a good game.

3. What the actual hell Generations... Can somebody please please PLEASE explain what I just watched? And can somebody also explain why I was smiling like an idiot the whole time? I have such conflicting feelings here!!

4. I don't get why 4U's ending was mostly in crappy in-game models.. seemed like a waste of a really heartfelt moment that needed MOVING FACES.

5. Remake 4U's and make it with the amazing cutscene graphics that almost every other major character scene in the game got.

6. I honestly wouldn't mind, but a word of warning would have been nice. Like a "kawaii Warning" that flashed on screen or something, just so we know what we're getting into. Because that truly caught me off guard.

7. Monster Hunter Tri. And I fell hard. After the epic battle with the Ceadeus in the ruins, the hunter returns to the village that they saved and is greeted with a well deserved hero's welcome. And at this point, I was already in love with the game, every part of it. The gameplay, the monsters, the music, the villagers, my Moga Sweetheart (Miss u bae, but not really cuz you're standing in my house in MHGen), and everything else. But the credits really hit it home. It shows how much work went into this game to make it feel like home, and damn it really worked.

8. Yes. All the NPC's manage to steal your heart through witty dialogue and in-game models, so when the break out the CG and really bring them to life, its amazing. That's also why I loved the Ecology videos. Those need to come back!!!

9.Never. One of the biggest reasons I play video games is for the amazing musical scores that exist within them, and the end credits are the finale. "To One with Life" and "Testament of a Hero", both of which are from Tri's soundtrack, are one of my two favorite orchestral pieces of all time. Yuko Komiyama is a genius, nuff said.

10. The end of MhGen shocked me, make no mistake about that. It also confused me, slightly angered me, and made me pray to many dieties that nobody happened to glance over my shoulder at that moment. But I don't think I would change it. There has always been an underlying silly factor to the MH franchise. Your second best allies in the game are anotomically incorrect cats. (BTW, the best allies are shakalaka, the third best are actual people online), you eat giant meals of meat and, more recently, fondue to gain strength, you can get absolutely smashed by spamming an idle command while you wait for that one guy to combo a bunch of potions, and the list goes on. The fact that these two endings bring out the wackiness of the games isn't a bad thing. But seriously, a bit of warning next time.
