Talk:Monster Hunter
Question
[edit]Question: The article categorizes the Monster Hunter series as "action role-playing" genre, but then goes on to say that the game doesn't have even the most basic RPG elements (Player character has no stats or attributes of any kind and does not grow in power aside from equipment). IMHO this sounds like an action / adventure game so I have to wonder if this series has been miscategorized here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devetter (talk • contribs) 18:19, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Question: The article says there`s a MMO, Massive Multiplayer online game, which one is this game in the franchise? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.121.206.232 (talk) 20:39, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
- It came previous to MH3 in Japan, but is also now released on Xbox 360 in Japan. No word on releasing in America.72.199.100.223 (talk) 15:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Devilijho
[edit]About the new "Notable Monsters" section: why is Devilijho in it? It has never been an important or iconic monster in the series. I think it should be replaced with Kushala Daora, which is the flagship monster of MH2, although I'm not completely sure how to do it. I would apreciate if someone made this edit. 137.159.189.50 (talk) 01:49, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
- "It has never been an important or iconic monster in the series" is something that a person who has little familiarity with the series would say. 24.198.81.163 (talk) 14:20, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- You're replying to a comment from September 2010. There hasn't been a "notable monsters" sections in ages. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 16:07, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
Hunter Blade = / = Monster Hunter. Hunter Blade = / = Capcom.
[edit]Hunter Blade has no relations with this game, or with Capcom in any way. 110.54.141.152 (talk) 04:15, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Rewrite
[edit]This article is pretty low quality, I think a rewrite would be nice. Any skilled editors that could do that?71.92.79.250 (talk) 19:20, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
Lead Picture
[edit]Are there any better or more relevant lead images anywhere? Perhaps the cover art from one of the games? Slayer of the Rathalos (talk) 16:59, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Monster Hunter X's Generation
[edit]MHX is Fourth Generation, not Fifth. 68.235.179.47 (talk) 00:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
N-Gage?!
[edit]I can not find any evidence to suggest that Monster Hunter was released for the N-Gage. --TheWizardG (talk) 16:17, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
Generations, Spinoff
[edit]Per the developer, Worlds is the fifth game in the main series, despite its name not being MH5. This means Generations isn't the 5th game in the main series and is a spinoff. Unless someone produces a source stating that it is main series, it simply isn't. -- ferret (talk) 21:26, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
- The developer does not say that it is the fifth game in the main series. He merely answers the question: "why isn't World called mh5?" There is nothing in that article where the developer says anything about "main series", or that he considers World to be the fifth of anything. He explicitly states that it is NOT the fifth game. 24.198.81.163 (talk) 14:16, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
- Capcom's 2019 developer interview with series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto lists MH Generations as a "main game" in the series.

Monster Hunter Rise
[edit]I noticed that the new game is filed under spin-off/expansions. An interview by Arekkz gaming with the Capcom UK community manager has revealed that Rise is not a spinoff or derivative entry. Source:https://www.youtube.com/ofUx1XPtPB8
Now I don't have the proper editing skills, can someone edit the page with this new information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luckyvonstreetz (talk • contribs)
- We can't use Youtube videos (even from well established community players like Arekkz) as a reliable source for that. --Masem (t) 16:33, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- They've also explicitly stated that Rise is not the next numbered title, which places it in an awkward situation where it is a main title, but not a numbered title or spin-off. they've instead asserted that this is a "portable" title, which to me implies it exists more as a continuation of the Portable/Freedom series since Capcom also considered those to be main titles (albeit main portable titles). Though this does place MH4U in a difficult position to label, as well.2001:1998:3600:9F:0:0:0:80F (talk) 21:07, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- Rise isn't the next numbered title, because Capcom has stopped numbering their titles. There are no more numbered titles. There are no more main vs. portable titles. There are simply MH titles. 24.198.81.163 (talk) 14:18, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Freedom/Portable Series
[edit]Is there a reason the Freedom titles are missing from the release timeline or the spin-offs section? Portable 3rd held the mantle of best-selling MH title for years, but it's only mentioned three times. Can we get those added in, or is it on a different page? 2001:1998:3600:9F:0:0:0:80F (talk) 21:50, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
Tár movie reference?
[edit]According to Tár, Monster Hunter's orchestra is what Lydia Tár is reduced to playing for at the end of the movie. Should that be mentioned in this article? Vaughan Pratt (talk) 18:52, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
