GB:Is Monster Hunter Riders going to have a Global version, or even a Chinese version? Do you have a time frame for that if so? Currently the game is not officially open outside of Japan, thus we are unable to provide the number of worldwide players. Izumi: As of 19 March, the game has exceeded 4 million downloads. GB:Can you share with us how many downloads the game has at the moment? How much of that are gamers from outside of Japan? As for multiplay, we are still discussing internally on what kind of multiplay will be able to fit into the game, and meet player expectation. Right now, we are working on implementing the “add friend” feature. There is a lot of feedback from players requesting for the friend system and multiplay feature, of course. We want to continue with this mindset/objective to our best ability and provide it to the players. Izumi:We created the game with the idea of a “single player PVE content”, while gathering more partners (monsties) and riders, and gradually increasing their player strength. GB: Will we have a PVP mode in the future? What about raid battles, guild system or even adding friends?Įditor’s note: At time of writing, none of these are available in the game. The “Monster Challenge Quest” will remain as an important feature, and we will be adding different difficulty levels of monster quests. We hope that new and old players can continue enjoying the game. As they play the game, players will gradually get stronger everyday, before they can finally challenge the hardest difficulty. Should they fail it, then players will need to plan and strategize accordingly to the opponent’s weakness. Players start off by challenging the beginner quest. Izumi: We create a quest with the ‘motto’ of “ challenging foe” and “ difficult opponent”. Do you plan to maintain this level of difficulty in the future? GB:Currently, we feel that a few of the quests are too hard, especially the advanced Rathalos quest. Getting our iconic ol’ buddy still needs a little work. There will be more unique riders making an appearance in the game, so please look forward to it. Izumi: Depending on the characters, giving them a voice can add more depth to their overall personality. GB: There are many characters in the game, with a lot of them not voiced. Izumi: Currently, we are planning to add 3 to 4 monsters every month.
GB:Currently, there are only so few recruitable monsters/monsties. We hope that players can enjoy the game with this in mind.
In this setting, the weapons and armours then become a significant part of a rider’s character.
As with Halcyon’s Lagiacrus armour, from a story-telling perspective, it actually tells a part of a rider’s story. Izumi: Every rider has their own reason or story in wielding and wearing their weapons and armours. GB: Being able to switch armours and weapons is a norm for the Monster Hunter series. Just some of the armours on display at the Monster Hunter 15th Exhibition. Their heroics are remembered and thus respected by everyone. Follow the backstory of Riders, there is a well-known story of ten riders stopping a major catastrophe.
