♥♥♥♥♥ I was gonna kill it anyway

It's actually pretty immersive to wait the extra 2-3 seconds for the authorization before attacking. In my head, it's building up frustration time for the hunter while she gets harassed by some massive monster who doesn't realize who he's messing with.

Start charging a greatsword swing in its face, "authorization granted" right on that third beat for the first hit to be a full charged swing. Too satisfying

And then later, you just start killing without getting explicit permission. Including creatures that have no interest in you or are straight up trying to actively escape your annihilating hands.

As it should be :)

Some people kind of have a disconnect with the game, as players you are hunting for parts and don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the monsters being alive or not. In the game world you are a Hunter someone who isn't just there to slay beasts because he wants new underpants.

Some people really enjoy how immersive the experience can feel if you care about that.

You name it, it's called Monster Hunter, not Monster Poachers.

That’s such a painfully shallow take. Just because it's called Monster Hunter doesn’t mean it should be a brain-dead monster-killing simulator with zero depth. The worldbuilding, ecosystem, and immersion are what make the hunts actually feel cohesive instead of feeling like a mindless arcade game. If you think all that should be tossed aside just so you can turn your brain off and swing a big sword, you’re completely missing what makes the series special.

You are hunter
It's rule on guild
You didn't kill monster because you want to

Yeah, except you can kill anything you want without any orders. One moment you are being authorized to hunt something, the next moment you are going on a rampage killing herbivores that were just standing there not being a threat. Also you can hunt anything without authorization, there are no repercussions for it, your support doesn't even comment on the fact you just ignored guild orders. Also, there's the "I authorize MYSELF!" bit which made me laugh.

It's just a silly thing, nothing more. I understand the spirit behind it and I like they tried to make it a thing, but it just doesn't work with, the ludonarrative dissonance ruins it.

Yeah, except that doesn't do anything for immersion. One moment you are being authorized yo hunt something, the next moment you are going on a rampage killing herbivores that were just standing there not being a threat. Also you can hunt anything without authorization, there are no repercussions for it, your support doesn't even comment on the fact you just ignored guild orders.

Those are my feelings, but all the power to you if you feel more immersed this way.

You’re acting like Monster Hunter is a strict military operation when in reality, it’s more like managed conservation with room for hunter discretion. The Guild authorizations exist to control major threats and maintain balance, not to micromanage every single hunt. Just because you can kill random monsters doesn’t mean the system is broken, it just reflects the reality that hunters operate independently outside of official missions.

And let's be real, the "I authorize MYSELF!" moment is a dramatic way of showing the hunter taking responsibility in a crisis, not some deep contradiction. If anything, it reinforces how the Guild isn’t some absolute authority pulling every string but rather an organization that trusts hunters to make judgment calls when needed. Like with many gameplay elements, you’re meant to interpret your hunter as operating within the Guild’s rules as you have seen play out in the story, you just don’t always see the formal authorization before every hunt. The game gives you freedom, but it’s understood that you're still doing the job as expected.

okay, but why can you kill the smaller, non-problematic monsters all you want?

That’s not really what’s happening in-game. Your hunter is a professional, not some reckless killer. Everything you do is lore wise within expected bounds.
