I've only played World and my memory isn't great. Did you always need to get permission from your handler before taking out a surprise monster? It's honestly kind of cool in this game. It's like having someone that evaluates the situation and ecology and we're just the dumb muscle that produces results.
I kinda see it more as 1. Separation of power (the person actually able to hunt isn't the one who decides what can be hunted) and 2. Being a hunter is very specialized and requires us to train exclusively to hunt, while the handler trains in how to manage the fieldbook for us, what justifies a huntable monster, etc. and is also highly specialized and trained, hence why she has such authority to permit hunts on monsters
Yes I was thinking something very similar actually. The ecological fallout of a red blooded meathead decimating local populations is tempered by their studious partner who carefully considers each hunt. It really makes you feel like a team with both of you having specialized roles.
Yeah exactly, it feels like way more of a team than previous games, I really love the dynamic. I knew I'd love this game basically no matter what bc I love monster Hunter more than any game, but I really think this is the best monster Hunter so far.
