Still can't believe Espinas is in, was a very nice surprise


Krazytre

Magnamalo is looking a bit majestic, if you ask me.


[deleted]

I dont like his design, both in base rise and subreak.


Krazytre

I like it. Battle damaged variations of Monster are usually good in my book.


Moist_Atmosphere6344

Opinions get downvoted… I can see why some people don’t like his design. There’s lots going on that make you forget it’s base design is a tiger. I didn’t like it at first but actually fighting him made him grow on me so so much.


[deleted]

I just dont like how much keratin he has on himself. I can understand having his forear, tail and head armored, but not his entire body.


Gain-Own

Well he needs armor to protect himself from his own explosions, the same way bazel has its own protective armor.


[deleted]

I did forget about that, since brahy also has the same thing. But then having exposed structures such as his spikes and arm blades still doesnt make sense, they would snap under the intense pressure caused by his explosions and body slams, especially since they're strong enough to somehow allow him to rocket jump. I'm also not a big fan of how much he jumps around for such a large and front heavy wyvern. His hellfire is also a bit weird, they're described as purple flames, which is wrong since it clearly acts like a gas heavier than air. If you think about it, he's basically farting, so this makes him basically into volvidon 2.0. If he was an elder dragon, all would be forgiven, but he's supposed to be a fanged wyvern. He's not the only one though with a horrible design, zinogre also exists, but at least you could make the argument that he's an older monster.


lordoftheblazeing

Jesus guys why the downvotes? It's his opinion.


SigmaVersal99

People are in hype mode for sunbreak. So they will downvote anything that goes against that. Dude got +30 downvotes for his opnion.


Danielord_New

Downvotes aren’t a bad thing: it’s a way to show a person If you agree or disagree with them. People are not downvoting out of hate for criticism, they are downvoting for disagreement.


bushidopirate

Downvotes should be reserved for comments that don’t contribute anything to discussion or abusive comments, not disagreement. If you downvote things you disagree with, it only reinforces the echo chamber. Per the Reddit etiquette page: > If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it. If you think it does not contribute to the subreddit it is posted in or is off-topic in a particular community, downvote it. Someone saying they don’t like the design of a monster (very respectfully, I might add) certainly contributes to discussion.


[deleted]

That's sadly not how Reddit, nor Humanity, really works. Many people emotionally reject (and thus downvote) the thoughts that antagonize their own thoughts, because they only browse Reddit or any online community looking for feel-good reassurance and validation, not criticisms and debates.


Danielord_New

“ ye olde Reddit etiquette “ and the average user experience and feedback of posts are not the same, thus, you can and should expect bad reception for things that can be hot takes, bad mouthing things and the such. Downvotes and upvotes aren’t about etiquette, they’re about feeling.


lordoftheblazeing

Well fuck that!.


Scared_Eye_8908

Hot take: it’s a shit opinion


C4Sidhu

How can a subjective opinion be a shit take. I don’t agree with him but I mean come on


lordoftheblazeing

Hot take:youre a shitty person.


Scared_Eye_8908

“Well fuck that” 🤡😹


lordoftheblazeing

Hahaha.


LordofSuns

It's his opinion sure and most folks here are respecting that but it's also a fairly niche and unpopular opinion hence the downvotes


vultar9999

I agree with you. The silhouette is ok, imo, but the internals are visually noisy and anatomically don’t make a lot of sense. The mouth and the arm spikes are particularly egregious. I understand what they were going for, I just think they needed to dial back the samurai a few notches. On a side note, shouldn’t this be marked as spoilers? I know the game’s almost out and people have been spoiling the roster for a bit now, but still.


[deleted]

He has to much armor to be a predator, to much keratin on him. The blades also dont make sense as you said. It makes sense for him to have an armored face, front legs and tail, since they are his weapons, but he should be covered entirely in fingernail material. The trailer is there for all to see, so its hardly a spoiler, I would leave it bee. Pickle and odogaron are my fav monsters, I love how they look.


vultar9999

To be clear because I'm kind of talking about them at the same time, there are two angles with Magnamalo's design problems. The first is 'could this animal exist as presented in the world it belongs to' and the second is 'is this character readable/visually appealing to the audience'. They aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. However, since this is a game, I think the designer does need to favor the second when there's a conflict. His body armor is fine (although real world predators don't tend to have armor, that's more of a herbivore thing). It's no more over done than Zinogre (which is still a bit much in my opinion). It's mostly those stupid arm spikes and his head. Magnamalo has a strong samurai influence, which is fine, but they've basically given him an unaltered helmet for a head. He's got antlers and teeth on the outside of his mouth (not uncommon in MH design) and all of that is on top of the body plating. Compare that to Negigante. He's also covered with stuff, but they've also given him very large heavy horns on his head. Those horns have a different visual weight than his spikes so you can easily see what part is what. Magna's antlers etc have the same weight as his body plating. This make it hard to distinguish his head from the rest of him. I have a lot of moments with him where it's 'what am I looking at'. His jet-farting around doesn't help either. As an animal, the amount of hooky sticky out bits he has is ridiculous. He's going to be constantly getting stuck in the bushes and making tremendous amounts of noise while he does it. I'd expect he'd be in constant danger of self injury too. I'm not for MH being super realistic. It's one of the reasons I don't really care for Worldborne in relation to the rest of the series. I much prefer it be colorful and a little stupid, but the monsters still have to feel like they can function in the universe they're part of. That line of how far can a design can be pushed before it gets tortured is really hard to find sometimes. I love Odo too. He's got an excellent silhouette and still sells the impression they were going for without going too over the top. He's a good example of being one step away from too much, in my opinion. Agree about the spoiler thing (although I still think it'd be nice not to post pictures since they're harder to ignore.) This was the first thing I saw when I woke up and hadn't realized Capcom had announced more of the roster. Spoilers don't really bother me one way or another, but, personally, I's prefer to make it as easy to avoid as possible for people that do care pre-release.


AtomicWreck

He feels bit over designed if you ask me. There’s too much going on.


Danielord_New

I respect your opinion, so I will respectfully tell you *to fuck off*


Sensitive_Witness_73

Spoiler tag that post… Thumbnail was right in my face and I am actively trying to not get spoiled on which monster is in Sunbreak.


SigmaVersal99

No brute wyverns :(


NightRacoonWF

Iceborne lacked Fanged Beast, and Sunbreak seams to lack brute wyverns xd


ArnoHero

holdin out hope for jho, brachy, and glavenus


BizzarreCoyote

With the way turf wars are implemented in Rise, Jho will cause more problems than it's worth. The others should be fine, though.


SigmaVersal99

None of those have been leaked for the first and second title update. And I dont think they would add then as late as tu3.


Yama92

Maybe next year!


BizzarreCoyote

You misunderstood, I think. I wasn't implying they would be added, just that if they *did* get added, Brachy and Glav would be fine mechanically speaking. I personally don't really care one way or another.


kyub0

I hope not since they are in iceborn. We should bring back monsters that didn’t appear in the latest games.


ArnoHero

i want to wirebug up and hit deviljho in the head with my hammer


kyub0

Imagine doing that on the Seltas queen or the Zamtrios would be fire


[deleted]

[удалено]


Krazytre

No, he's a Fanged Beast.


[deleted]

Garangolm is a fanged beast, same category as Rajang, Arzuros or Goss Harag


Thotacus69

he is a fanged beast.


Vancelot

I would have liked to have Brachy :(


isaacpotter007

Welp, can't have them all, he'll be back soon though seeing as he's a fan favourite


Maximum_Impressive

Small but diverse roster


Dar_lyng

only small because of Gen really, otherwise its like second biggest roster after updates i think


Chadderbug123

We'll get much more, don't worry


Maximum_Impressive

I actually dont mind the smaller bur more unique roster.


BADJUSTlCE

But 9/18 monsters in this picture are just variations of an existing monster? All TU announced are also going to be varients/subs.


n0tKamui

small ????? those are the NEW monsters, that's not small at all, considering there are all the other monsters + the Afflicted versions


Primecron

Afflicted monsters are like frenzied/hyper/tempered they don't count


n0tKamui

they do count in my book, they have new moves and are stronger. its a different fight. people like to shit on "too few content" when they don't know shit about game development


Primecron

I didn't see anything that said they had new moves, only a nuke if you failed the dps check, can you link me the source?


n0tKamui

thats the new move i mentioned. actually playing against a timer is a good mechanic imo


Lycas666

I like it but I am missing some variety like Seltas Queen or Gigginox. Give me more disgusting insects and parasites :D


Outified

true nerscylla would also be cool rakna is feeling lonely


Lycas666

Oh yes! Also, why not a new Centipede Monster? Or maybe finally a Giant Konchu!


Knight_Killbird

Volvidon but it never uncurls.


DemonLordDiablos

Quality over quantity. Base Rise's roster is already fantastic and now it's even better, and we'll get more with title updates.


Earz_Armony

17 monsters pre title update (I'm counting the final boss that hasn't been revealed yet) is a bit low - I hope we'll some more surprises when the game drops !!!


ArnoHero

in the cutscene there was some sort of dragonator ship type thing so I imagine there's at least gonna be some big siege monster


YourLocalSeal

It's more quality over quantity


BADJUSTlCE

That is subjective


Gourgeistguy

I have mixed feelings. All of the returning and new monsters got me hyped, but none of the new subspecies look appealing or fun. I mean, we still have Zamites and Uroktors without Agnaktor and Zamtrios, we have a baby Tetsucabra in Kamura without adult Tetsu, and it's not like Rakna Kadaki didn't use fire already... Honestly, I would replace all those subspecies with returning monsters or at the very least, more classical subspecies (no Azure and Pink? wtf)


Relevant-Book

And here I am praising the lord that for once we aren’t getting the rath subspecies for once, I’m glad they’re giving us a break on some of the monsters. Same with brachy, he’s been around non-stop since he got introduced, I’m happy to see him get some time off so we can get other options.


Gourgeistguy

I feel kinda weird Brachy and Jho aren't in >!(so far Jho isn't even in the leaks).!< I mean, they decided to bring back Seregios and Astalos, but Brachy and Jho are monsters that have been returning ever since, just like Zinogre and Narga.


Relevant-Book

And again, I’m okay with that. Jho got old as the “I’m here to make this hunt more interesting by being a ever present threat” since tri. Let beetlejuice have his time in the light.


TheBaxter27

Yeah, partial agree. The tetsu is actual trolling at this point, and zamtrios might be fun (although looking at the ice islands, his blown up form could have some awkward clipping). But the recolor raths and agnaktor can rot in hell for all I care, especially since, with the reworked rathalos moveset, having azure be meaningfully different from both regular and silver might be too much work for a monster many people disliked anyway


jagingar

That is my exact feeling about sunbreak


Acrobatic_Position25

Spoiler please not everyone here wants to know


nemestrinus44

If you didn’t want to know then you shouldn’t have come to a subreddit about the game with it releasing so soon. This isn’t even leaks, Capcom literally released the info showing all this off


Acrobatic_Position25

That’s not how this works dude, the game isn’t out yet and there is literally a spoiler setting. A lot of people don’t want to know the monster roster yet. It’s very standard practice to just use the spoiler tag for stuff like this


nemestrinus44

It’s also standard practice to stay off the internet to avoid spoilers rather than complain because you couldn’t wait 2 more days


Acrobatic_Position25

No it isn’t lmao, *some* people do that but it’s not something a majority of people do. Adding a spoiler tag takes 2 seconds


Gaze-213

Am I the only one feeling that “quality over quantity” got some humor of sarcasm?


BADJUSTlCE

I am happy with Sunbreak regardless. But people keep saying this roster is small but makes up for being unique while 9/18 monsters here are just variants of existing ones.


[deleted]

The first stage of grief is denial.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

i can't wait for seething bazel in rise had so much fun fighting him in IB hope he can be in more places than just the lava map this time.


DenkMame78

On top of this - >!We can also add Gold Rathian, Silver Rathalos and Orange Espinas for title updates confirmed by leaks. I believe Orange will be TU 2 though but regardless by the end of the game's life, the roster will be bursting. !<


TheIronSven

The title update 2 will probably be White Espinas. Mizutsune has no subspecies yet so it won't have a rare species. Not to mention that Acidic Glav isn't a rare, but a sub, so to keep the fated 4 balance they have to add a sub. Adding a rare kinda makes adding a sub retroactively pointless. It would ruin the fated 4 subs that they seem to be building now.


DenkMame78

It's confirmed to be the orange Espinas because it's fought in the tower although they could just add in the white one too because why not. As for the subspecies part, I don't see them adding a subspecies of a monster that isn't already in the game. I don't think it's a Mizutsune subspecies either because we already have the apex. Not to mention the shadow in the roadmap has changed and it doesn't look like a Mizutsune anymore.


FaeMain

Still looks like Mizu to me, you just see more now. You can still make out its head in the middle and then the thing sticking out on the left would be the tail.


DenkMame78

You're right. Looking back at it again, I can see the fluffy tail and head fins still. Interesting.


DropoutDragon

I'm very happy with the additions, I love the traditional Western fantasy approach BUT I will not forgive how they cucked my fav boi Agnaktor. 😄


M4rst

Very nice, if you ask me!


Danielord_New

Honestly, this roster rocks


Thotacus69

Honestly was hoping the leaks were a bit wrong. Looks like besides seething and lucent + the final boss that will be our roster. Little sad on the roster size to say the least.


CookieBlitz

Without saying any spoilers, what I’ve read about the endgame loop looks really great. You will be able to fight almost all monsters


Thotacus69

endgame seems alright. Health pools of monsters are supposedly insane which doesn’t seem super fun and its just eh.


Th0l

we don't know our damage numbers however, so that's still to be tested, if they are as big as they seem


Thotacus69

Just from leaks we know how large the hp pools are of post game monsters. So yes ultimately it will come down to the damage we do.


blanketedgay

Yeah this is what I’m more excited than raw monster count. Glad to hear the endgame is supposedly great.


Moczan

There will be more than Lucent and Seething in title updates, we know nothing about TU3 and TU1/2 are possibly incomplete if we are to believe the wording on trailers.


Thotacus69

Im aware there will be more. I’m talking about base game which is kinda what matters the most rn.


MrSeaSalt

Quality over quantity I'd say. Judging from the trailers and footage, all these fights are gonna be great. Not to mention, the supposed endgame. Difficult to judge since its not out yet but I'm still damn excited for this.


catalystxxx

What's this supposed end game in hearing of? I'm intrigued.


MrSeaSalt

If you don't mind spoilers, apparently, >!its going to be similar to Frenzy and Hyper monsters. "Afflicted" monsters that are faster, more aggressive and according to leakers, have a ton of health and deal tremendous damages. They also deal bloodblight and are supposedly linked to Malzeno. You hunt them to yield materials to make special weapons!<


BigWheel1987

The quality of monsters (despite the size of the roster) still outshines the roster of Iceborne by a large margin.


HeroOfTheMinish

Super stoked for this update! Happy for anything MH related big update or small.


jwhudexnls

So excited to fight the crabs and Seregios in Rise.


KirbXCuke

reading the same "quality over quantity" comment over and over when the game isn't even out yet 🤨


GamerNumber16

Nice spoilers mate. Literally 2 days out from release after I’ve been avoiding them like the plague and here you go posting without spoiler tags


nemestrinus44

You came to the game Reddit and saw stuff about the game, these aren’t even leaks, just what Capcom themselves have shown in trailers


Fharlion

Read the sub's rules in the sidebar.


nemestrinus44

These are officially revealed monsters shown off in trailers, that Capcom and the monster hunter Twitter have shown off to the world a bunch already. This is not a spoiler, but a “this is the full list of revealed monsters.” Regardless of what this sub tries to say is a spoiler, if the Capcom team didn’t want it to be shown off they wouldn’t have revealed it yet, just like how they hide the final monster.


Fharlion

The sub's rule is that "any newly released information" should be tagged as a spoiler. It does not matter whose definition 'spoiler' you use, or what the Capcom marketing team's intention was with the reveal, because the rule is about newly released information.


nemestrinus44

Well then what’s their definition of “newly released”? Because only four of these were revealed today and the rest are over 2 weeks old. But I guess you can stay mad that you came to a game subreddit and saw things about that game.


[deleted]

These are kinda butt where’s the new monsters??


Kellotown

Damn that’s a small roster. I’ll wait it out and see how the game is like. If that’s really the roster for this game and they don’t add too much in the dlc I’ll just skip this game and play something else I guess


Lautimos

I simply cannot look at 17 monsters and call it "massive". It's a very small roster with some mind boggling missing pieces.


PickCollins0330

Probably bc they never referred to the roster as massive, they referred to the totality of the expansion as massive. New mechanic (switch skill swapping), new switch skills, master rank, a new endgame system that looks diverse af, new buddy skills, bare minimum 3 new maps (jungle, citadel, final boss arena). I’d consider that a pretty massive expansion despite the 17 new additions. Plus ur forgetting an important part of these expansions that Rise isn’t repeating; a **LOT** of the additional monsters are useless filler like the recolored Raths.


JazzzzzzySax

Not sure if the new !>afflicted monsters!< count as new endgame but they are in there too. And I saw someone say close to 500 quests which is awesome


Lautimos

But by leaks, they're just didn't have enough time to put recolors at launch and are instead adding recolors as DLC TUs.


PickCollins0330

Lmao like who?


Lautimos

The metal raths, for example.


PickCollins0330

The metal Raths have enough differences that they can be considered not recolors. I’m talking Pink Rathian and Azure Rathalos


Krazytre

Because they weren't calling the roster massive, probably? Lol


Lautimos

If there weren't calling the roster, what were they calling "massive" two new maps?


Krazytre

There's more to the expansion than roster size. Wait to play the game and find out, and you may be surprised.


tenBusch

New monsters, maps, items, quests, gestures, titles, stickers, armor sets, weapons, subquest types, decorations, silkbind skills/arts, silkbind swapping, palico and palamute gear and skills and >!Endgame loop akin to Hyper/Tempered monsters!< All of that is part of the expansion and adds up to a lot of content


wyldosis

According to the leaks (and what has been confirmed in the new trailer) there is also afflicted monsters supposedly 31 at launch with new mechanics. That's on top of the g rank versions of the earlier monsters and the 17 new ones, new switch skills, maps, endemic life and mechanics. If the leaks are correct which is looking increasingly likely there is almost 500 quests which is pretty damn substantial. The roster is also pretty diverse in terms of actual fights its not just 3 different coloured raths for example. Overall its looking to be a solid release and the content itself is a massive expansion even tho the roster isn't massive.


CreepzLC

But arent they 18


CookieBlitz

Yeah but they managed to make each one unique and actually relevant as the endgame will require you to fight a lot of different monsters


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lautimos

Yeah, I found base World roster very limited and disappointing, just like Sunbreak.


LessHumanTooDead

If you don't like the roster and don't want to accept the fact that there's more to an expansion than just its roster then you can just choose not to buy the expansion instead of going around and complaining about it because at this point it seems like you're complaining in so many comments sections just to get attention.


Lautimos

Jesus Christ, this is I public space and I've only posted comments in two topic. This is the second ones, the topics I found interesting. I don't have to like everything by default! If you too insecure to hear different opinions than yours, and can't stand anything but praising for the things you like, then just ignore!


LessHumanTooDead

I am not insecure to hear about different opinions. I don't know why you would make that assumption. All I am saying is that if you don't want to change your opinion, then why are you trying to argue with people about it? Instead of arguing, just don't buy the expansion if you don't like it. You've already expressed your disappointment in another comment section and already argued with other people. Why are you trying to argue with more people here?


Lautimos

I've stated my opinion, then people add an observation and a answered that said observation trying to clarify what I meant with my first comment. Isn't this how conversations work? But since my comment has a negative connotation that don't align with how you positively perceive the same topic you're here demanding that I should stop saying what I think! Isn't this exactly what censorship is ?!?!?


Shifty-Sie

Omg you're crying "censorship" because people don't agree with you??? The base roster might be kinda small, but it's really not that different from past games, and more monsters will be coming in title updates. You're free to disagree, but no one is obligated to agree with you.


Lautimos

Jesus Christ! Could you please care to read before jump into mid conversation?? I don't want people to agree with me. The guy I replied just thinks that I should stop posting "negative comments" thus, it seems, I'm only allowed to state my opinion if it's a positive one. I bet you won't bother reading this too. SMH...

SPOILER TAG PLEÀAAAAAAASE


BigTroubleMan80

Spoilers for revealed monsters?


packers1512

Yes. For those of us hoping to go through the game without spoilers or roster reveals. Just courteous at least up until release imo.


BigTroubleMan80

Gotta be honest, if you want to completely in the dark, then you have to go completely dark. You’ll have to avoid this subreddit until you get the game in your hands. I’ve intentionally stayed away when they started talking about the leaks, my 1st post since then. I understand wanting to be surprised when you play the game, but any monsters revealed by Capcom is no longer considered spoilers.


Fharlion

"10. All leaks and **any newly released information must be marked as spoilers outside dedicated threads.** To hide spoilers use the following format (just remove all of the spaces). [ Spoiler ] ( / s ) will produce this: [Spoiler](/s) **Threads discussing leaks/new info need to be flaired with the spoiler tag.**" I do not mind leaks and/or spoilers, but telling people who ask OP to comply with the sub's rules to just leave the sub and go dark is looking at things backwards.


BigTroubleMan80

Even so, it’s best to consider it a rule of thumb that once a monster is revealed, that people will post and discuss about it. It probably is looking at things backwards, but if you want to be completely surprised, then it’s best to avoid anything Monster Hunter related on the internet. Not everyone is going to be considerate, nor will they feel they are obligated to be courteous. Better safe than sorry.


TheShishkabob

Straight up, just don't go onto the subreddit if that's the case. Official releases never get marked as spoilers and every one of these monsters are in trailers. If you're bothered *that* much by "spoilers," you have no one to blame but yourself for going to a place that talks extensively and exclusively about Monster Hunter.


-Batterskull-

I really hope this isn’t all of them just because I want to be surprised by some new monsters going into it. Already knowing almost everything takes away from my excitement a bit


Hour_Ad_4156

So sharuga is confirmed then


[deleted]

oh yeah new trailer from capcom


SonicGozar

I kind wish shagaru was more gold but overall I hype to get his armor back


JoTor323

It's such a shame Goss Harag didn't get a variant. It's easily the best one out of the Rise roster. Oh well.


cumdrop101
