about the name "Skybound Eyrie" and speculations

i see a lot of people making speculation about Ascendance with the name of the new local ( Eyrie being the nest of a large bird of prey ). However, I think that there's a mistake in making speculation from this name without looking at the Japanese name first, 曇の遺跡群, which roughly translate to "Ruins cluster of the clouds". No mention of a nest or something else. Looking at other translation, both french an Spanish goes for something like "celestial island". Again, no mention of nest.

I am not saying that you shouldn't make speculation from the English name, it is possible that the translation team received more information from the MH dev team, or simply, that they have more info on the game and that according to those info, it indeed makes sense for them to add this notion of "nest" ( in relation with a bird like apex who knows). But I also think it should be taken with a big grain of salt when making speculation because that's not in the original text.

something something English speaker being self centered about their language something something

interesting take away from the monster hunter wilds ascendance director interview.

We have an entirely new director, Takuro Hiraoka. I'm very interested to see what will be his vision on the series and his proposition.

New area called Skybound Eyrie

New combat gimmick called "boost bracer"

The story will focus on elder dragon again.

Port of Wilds is planned for NS2

lot of stuff to say about the expansion announcement.

I'm actually surprised we got a real trailer and not just a teaser like other expansions, make me believe that the 2027 release date may not be too far away and that they keep it vague in case they encounter another jin dahaad type situation during development.

The hunter we see at the beginning looks a bit like Nata, so maybe timeskip. The fact that other characters have designs changes may also implie this.

Wilds is not beating the 4U2 allegations with that new map and Kush being the first returning monster revealed.

One of my problem with wilds is how map are designed around secret and how the game pushes them on you, it seems like the new map won't break away from this.

Kushala, I love you, you are in my top 10 Monsters, but please take a break. Like, they could have at least choose to make it rusted Kushala to fit with the sandy plain but no.

Talking about that cutscenes, we see that the Doshaguma seems to be guardians, so guardians are now going outside of wyveria. There's also a lot of focus on them on this new map, so probably to tell us that guardians are not a one of thing with base game and that new guardians are coming with the expansion

Going back to Kush, one thing I expected on case Elder would return would be the idea that they have an heavy influence on the weather changes. I would find it interesting if we have new type of weather or harsher version of already existing ones because of elder presences ( and make the weather feel like something that you actually have to fight against instead of mostly being visual changes)

The new monster is interesting, it's skeleton is very close to qurupeco and also hypnocatrice, so maybe, there's a chance.

Also, it finally seems like we have a monster that actually takes advantage of the monster pack mechanic, only took them two years...

new fighting mechanic where it seems like we are charging some flame burst and them do some powerful new moves. Wonder what it will be.

Lao my beloved. Actually one of the rare thing I'm exited to see how seikret will play a part in. Both old lao's fight are quite disliked by the MH community but I like the one I experienced ( GU ) so I'm very excited to see how they will modernize it. Curious to see where does this fight take place.

Also no NS2 port announced. But I kinda expected it with a potential Nintendo direct next week. If they didn't abandoned the idea, it's more fitted to be announced there

So yeah, I'm exited but I also have my reserves on some stuff. I always thought that no amount of expansion will make me entirely change my vision of Wilds because my problems with it are within the core game design and philosophy of the game, not something an expansion could change. With this trailer, I haven't changed my mind but it will still certainly be an enjoyable experience because more monster hunter is still more monster hunter ( insert the "wow, two cakes" meme here )

Monster hunter expansion if it was good

Seriously though, my only actual real prediction, Yoshitake Suzuki will be the director

[fisharerad]

i watched Oban star racers a few month ago and one thing I particularly appreciate about it is the designs. Paradice was probably my favorite character in terms of design.

My most successful attempt at drawing a humanoid figure. Coloring is still painful tho

[fisharerad]

let's make an iceberg about (almost) every Monster Hunter media, how much time will it take ?

That was a mistake.

I forgot about Uchi age Muchi hammer but everything I know about is here.

Some are regrouped under one entry, like, I'm not gonna write the title of all the lore/art book, one entry is enough.

Good luck to read all that I need sleep now.

Managed to beat Dire Miralis today. My journey to 100% MH3U solo is getting closer ( still a lot to do tho )

Drew the apocalyptic black dragon to celebrate

[fisharerad]

Finished cave story today. I started playing the game 3 days ago and I really enjoyed the overall ambiance with both the art and music being great and I really enjoy how the story is delivered. Today, after many tries, I finally managed to get the best ending. I usually like those type of challenges but that last section for this ending was anything but enjoyable but that's honestly my only problem with the whole game. I'm sad there is no way to save Toroko.

Did a small drawing to celebrate finishing the game. I still suck at drawing humanoid but drawing them more is the only way to suck less. I like how Balrog turned out though

[fisharerad]

Watched a movie called "Peep Tv Show" a few days ago. It was interesting and weird.

I tried to draw a shot toward the end that I enjoyed. It's definitely been a few months since I drew something. Now that I'm settled I can finally try to draw more frequently and get better.

Drawing of my old plushie

[fisharerad]

Drew the new creatures and also tri d to do color paint for the first time, it's suffering.

The reference used is the key art of the starters

[fisharerad]

Stuff I drew more recently. A friend wanted to start a roleplay campaign and creating a character is what made me draw again after a few months without doing anything more from what I previously posted.

It's a little guy, it doesn't really have a name yet outside of me calling it "dumbass robot".

It was a robot for a tourist agency and it was specifically made to handle children being rough with it. It's job was to guide tourist and visitors and give them information. However, after some kind of apocalypse ( the campaign is some kind of post apo stuff ) it ended up being locked inside a bus and part of it's system was deteriorated and it is now unable to give a correct information.

"and here, an Easter island Moaï" it's a menhir

[fisharerad]

other stuff I drew some months ago.

A mizutsune and an astalos from monster hunter.

tried to mix a Gundam with some element from a precure costume ( cure passion in this case )

And tried drawing a human figure by using myself posing

[fisharerad]

Started to draw a few month ago but didn't really draw anything else until recently. Trying to get back into it since I have more time now. Here's what I drew when I started.

Fish are kinda cool
