@CaoSlayerGL Unfortunately there may be some limits to that approach as the 20 or so malzenos I've released into the Azurian countryside would beg to differ.
You look at them funny or breathe in their general direction and they lock in like a ballistic missile aimed straight at your jugular
@Cloud_yaa seem to be allergic to fighting their fellow man, the fights could be a 3v1 while permanently mounted, basically flipping the roles in standard MH
Would be nice to try something new, really annoyed at stories 2 throwing rider battles into the main story just to barely use them
@Cloud_yaa I was thinking about this and it'd be a good excuse to add some more combat against humans to switch up the formula.
Perhaps you could run into guild hunting parties sent after you in the field (and poachers in the post-game, once they no longer want you dead).
Since riders-
@Cloud_yaa Capcom are cowards and he'll never be real but Hognose has already stolen my heart (and other internal organs)
Honestly ever since I saw that OG post I had this urge to dust off my ancient graphic tablet I've not used in years just to doodle the goober
@CapVermillion Yeah certainly, part of why I really like this concept. It has a good reason that's rooted in existing lore as to why the guild would be scared of your monster, rather than "this 5827 year old legend says your rathoid is cursed or something"
And you'd be able to prove them wrong
@CapVermillion@GoldfishSpace@Cloud_yaa The official lore books state it's more intelligent than a human, so I'm not sure whether it's an apt description
That said I'd like to believe that the whole thing about grafting people to its hide is a deliberate mockery of hunters who had gone after it wearing monster armor.
@2ndPaladinGod@vergil223@Cloud_yaa I like rathalos as much as the next guy, but I think people would be just as tired of Pikachu if he was the only starter for 3 games in a row.
And Stories 3 not letting you switch out (at the moment) doesn't help with that.
@coolaise21 -doing nothing, I thought it'd end up being a subversion of some sort.
Then everyone talks you up after the fact and it frankly just made me feel like a fraud.
Also ratha's fakeout death sucked
@coolaise21 I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one, none of the positive reviews touch upon how jank the ending is
The nergigante story should not have been in the same game where the solution is "let's kill this thing"
Between you having to chase oltura down and it just sitting and-
@RoseKaedae Given that the camera pans to the qurio flying away when you beat malzeno, it does feel like they're setting up Gaismagorm
Plus it would explain malzeno and the qurio being there in the first place
@m1les0 It's pretty solid, but the real issue is that the new sf2 player in FL seems to be very inefficient.
The project in question was made with the old version of the soundfont player in FL 20, but it started chugging once I opened it in FL 2025
@BigVansShoes There's a reason people have been looking for alternatives despite there being an official Image-Line replacement plugin, but they all have issues, and don't support FL-specific features like slide notes.
@BigVansShoes@ThatChuck59 It has a lower memory/CPU footprint, replacing native SF player with SFLT in one of my projects brought the CPU usage down from 100 to 80 ish.
It's more intuitive, as it has shortcuts to add soundfonts already used in the project, and the new SF2 player is inaccurate for old VGM.
@its_mirrors This thing can barely be called a virus, so I wonder what it actually detected. You had to willingly run it with admin perms and it just turns off your pc at the end of a scripted sequence.
tfw jumpscare of something I wrote in year 1 of high school with barebones c# knowledge mostly copy pasted stackoverflow code, which somehow left the target audience.
fun fact: I embedded windows media player as an ActiveX control because I didn't know how to play audio files
@FabrizioART@Glavenuslover Shocked at Soulseer Mizutsune in Stories 2 going from a perfectly healthy baby to blind in both eyes as an adult.
Like bro, what happened in those 5 seconds. ๐ญ
