This game has no Elder Dragons and no unique final boss :DD

[Hollow Erto]

Amongst all the other missing features, dumbed down hunt progression and obnoxiously forced story. I don't care about "they'll add them post-release", every other Monster Hunter game had Elder Dragons right from the get go.

What is so important to Elder Dragons? It is just an in-game categorization that does not even work. Look at Kirin or that easy to kill monsters like Chameleos

Yeah, what is so important about something that was present throughout the whole series, right? What is so important about anything they removed, or dumbed down? Nothing I guess.

you litteraly have a elder dragon just because it is not categorized as such the ice dragon pretty much counts as an elder dragon by normal standarts.....

Wow, a whopping ONE elder dragon that is not even categorized as such. I'm so sorry that completely changes things.

Jin Dahaad was ok, Zoh Shia, which you can't even refight and has no craftable set currently, is just a worse version of Xeno'Jiiva.

I am legit so glad I don't have to see a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Teostra or Kushala anymore.

Agreed. I would gladly welcome a new set of elder dragons!

[DilTinman]

Gore is a half-elder and Jin Dahaad is one as far as gameplay mechanics go, but i do agree that i'd have liked to have seen some of the elder staples,

At the same time though they've been in every game since like 4U so it makes sense why they'd put a pause on them for a bit.

Why does that matter? Mechanically, Elder Dragons aren't any different from normal monsters, they just get a special title because of story reasons

Also you and I did not fight the same final boss if you think it isn't unique just because it uses Xeno'Jiiva's skeleton

They are mechanically different actually because you can't trap and capture them so they can only ever be slayed.

And he means that the final final boss isn't something you haven't fought before that point, and he's right.

Never capture a monster. Oh no that mechanical "uniqueness" means nothing now!

And again, you and I must have fought a completely different final boss

Elder Dragon is just a word. There is nothing that makes something an Elder Dragon beyond typically being endgame monsters, because the term means nothing. I would love more endgame, tough monsters, Jin Dahad feels like the only real one, but lets stop pretending like the lack of "elder dragons" is the problem, because that complaint is complete meaningless drivel.

[gachi is manly]

Bro what? Zoh Shia fight was cool AF. I'll take that over Xeno J any day of the week.

They have Gore in base game but Chaotic and Shagaru isn't here so I guess they save it for a tittle update. But that was kind of a cheap move to me since tittle update should add more awaited monster that didn't show up in recent entry, not re-use some that already in the previous game like Mizusune (and potentially Chaotic+Shagaru) I don't hate it but I just wish to see more new interesting monster from older game that I never played before.
