This was back when I got the first monster Hunter game for the PSP. By the time Freedom Unite came out I had ditched the SNS.

Find majestic creatures, and find out how their various parts would look as weapons and clothes. There are so, so many weapons and clothes.

This isn't going to be a problem because IIRC they have an upgraded form of trading.

it took me a two dozen kills to get the full set of weapons and armor for Alatreon in mH3U.

You have to break his head to get it. It won't drop unless you crush his head, the hammer works best for this and sword bros attack his rear end for tail carves and claw breakage.

He's not that hard to fight. Bring him up on land and if you have a lance you can guard against any bullshit attacks especially if you have drinks

now the Silvercrown DLC fight White Lagi, now that is a bullshit fight. I love that Lightning Gunlance I got from it after downing him 5 times and I am sad that I can't just transfer my 3U poo poo to 4U.

So it looks like Monster have reduced HP compared to 3u.

people timed the fights, they can't be absolutely sure(since the 3ds can't really be hacked yet to run debug options and displays) but it looks like they have 1/3rd less HP. This is single fights no multiples.

Because multiples always have reduced HP.

i seem to remember other animations of trying stupid stuff taking forever

eating items takes forever because being able to munch down on potions every 2 seconds would be real bad for balance, but it would be nice if you could eat multiple at once like the estus flask from dark souls

i really love the GS' bounce animation because if it happens you can just hammer madly with it and do like 1/4 damage per swing but they come out fast and infinitely loop
