Last time zone, first to post.
In short, it is built on ideas from World but takes them further from the traditional MH model.
We're back to offline village quests and online Gathering Hub quests.
There is an additional piece of equipment called the Petalace, which gives you buffs based on Spiritbirds you meet in the field. Different Petalace buff you differently apparently. I only have the one so hell if I know.
I feel like the organisation of gathered/carved materials has taken a step back, but I'll need to play with it a little more to be sure. It looked like we were back to the small inventories of old. Maybe that's just a lack of progress thing right now.
Weapon forging and upgrading has been streamlined, doing away with the need to find the weapon in your equipment box. Instead, there is a flow chart of forging/upgrades, and you just pick whichever one you want to do. Shockingly straightforward.
So far, I've only been to two locations - Shrine Ruins and Frozen Islands. Both are fairly standard MH. The music has taken a slightly different direction in the village and field, but the traditional themes are there. Something that the movie lacked.
Hopefully we can get some online going over the weekend to see how that holds up.
It's a thumbs up from me so far. (Unlocked 2* village quests; forged 3 new weapons and 3 pieces of Izuchi armour)
