1 is pretty good; 2 is great, 3 needs to be announced sometime after Wilds. Gotta let us raise all monsties; no keeping them as bosses only for the 3rd title.
3 is likely in development right now and will likely feature all the rise monsters and some wilds monsters, 2 really focused on GU and world stuff so thats my expectation.
Not sure how deep in to the skill system you are, but something i miss in stories 2 is that you can change your monsties element. In Stories 1 by having the majority of the skills be one element, it would change your monstie in to that specific element, making it so that you could have a fire breathing aptenoth or a ice spewing rathalos
This is a feature I deeply missed and was sad that it was excluded in Stories 2. I think it added a whole new layer of depth to the game. You could have your favorite monster multiple times, being a different element each. Whereas in stories 2, they were fixed to stay in their default element. I have fond memories of going out of my way to hunt dragon type monstie eggs to change the element of a monster on my team.
Honestly, one of the things I wished stayed the same from Stories 1 to Stories 2: Monsters tend to stick to a specific attack type rather than having it semi-randomized. I felt like I was really learning the monsters in Stories 1 when I had to learn a potential pattern like "Diablos likes to use Speed only until it enrages, in which it then uses Power, Speed, then Power" or "Monoblos likes to use Technical, Speed, Power, then Power until it enrages, where it's random but he has a significantly higher chance of using Power". Those aren't _exact_ examples of how Diablos and Monoblos function but moreso are examples of the complexity of learning a monster's "moveset", akin to the standard MonHun games. Stories 2 felt more like "oh this monster uses Power so I'll just stick to my Speed Monstie the entire fight easy peasy"... That sad, the monster selection, co-op dungeons, and the extra weapons are such a boon in Stories 2. If they do a Stories 3, I really hope the monster patterns are better.
Stories 3 would and should have the entire monster cast of critters: small, big, large, sub-subspecies, devaints, evolved, variants and so forth. Make the subspecies have different but almost similar kinship attacks prior to the others like for example: Rathalos to Blue Rathalos to Silver Rathalos, like Blur could be more poisoning attacking wise and Silver could be more denser firey attacks or poisonous fire attacks. Stories 3 could have new monster introduced from the online games like Frontier and the Frontier Z or whatever it is called. And maybe have a way to show horn in older maps and Wilds new monsters maybe?! Wings of Ruin showed me and many other burned out Pokemon fans that Monster Hunter Stories can and will take up the mantle from Pokemon and its bloated "super easy and super casual series"
Makili Pietru totally needs to come back, Black Reprimand would look awesome in high definition. Or come back as a monstie for stories 3, too, would be cool.
I will admit, my biggest gripe so far is the semi-random patterns of monsters. I know their patterns are a lot more intricate than Stories 2, where they basically only did one type until they enraged of otherwise changed states. But man, is it kind of annoying. I don't have the memory to realise exactly what follows what across every single monster. I know some NPCs give you hints on patterns, which is appreciated. I'll probably still 100% it, since I have done so for Stories 2, which was miserable by the end with the need for every single gene, I was glad when I saw the achievements for Stories 1 were far less tedious.
I just finished the main story of MHS1 earlier this week coincidentally, and it scratched an itch that hasn't been scratched for me since Pokemon Pearl. I tell people, it's like if Pokemon was actually good and the developer gave a crap.
MHS1 is a fun game indeed, still give it a replay once a year to this day. Honestly, I prefer it over the second one just for how the monsties colors change according to their elements (I have a water Nargacuga that I love to death), but also how the story subtly hint we’re actually the destined one from the beginning (white dragon born under a big tree, plus the final segment with Chevalier than later Ratha are actually very heartfelt). The AI and patterns are harder to pick up on in this game tho, so it can make late game monsters felt like a nightmare aka Molten and metal rath, but it’s fun nonetheless
Only thing that sucks about the sequel that this game has, the ability to change the monsters element...no idea why they removed it. If a Stories 3 ever happens, I hope they bring it back. (also put Chameleos in this damn series already, wtf Capcom? lol)
Stories 1 may suffer from content drought from back in the day BUT it does a lot better, especially the rite of channeling. Stories 2 didn’t have time to add it as well as limited resources so they had to scrap the elemental change mechanic which really annoyed me. I know it’s a lot of work to get a munch of monsters to have unique looks for elements but the fact this is a sequel and it LOST features is just annoying. Stories 1 is definitely gonna be tricky at first but once you make the op monster of your dreams through a lot of grinding, you’re set for life basically lol
@@HeyJayOfficial it’s was originally supposed to be the Arena reward from getting egg fragments from MH Generations for participating. But you get the Eggs Randomly from the monsters den. I think the Developers added it outside of the Arena Event.
Another Reason Why The Stoires 1 Remaster Really Good You Can Refight the Final Boss in the Game Tower Anytime Unlike Stoires 1 Final Boss Sure there No Gear But the Fact The Game Final Boss Can be Refightable is just Fun to See and Both of the Monster Themes are Soild Along with there Defeat Animations It wasn't in the Original Non Japanese Version of the 3ds But the Remaster has Them and I Remember have a Bit of Help that eventually led to defeat the Final Boss rematch For real
I'll have to finish Stories 2 which I'm really stuck on then download Stories 1. No plans to 100% it but it wouldn't hurt to get all the monsters in the monsterpedia. Genes can be hard to grasp like EVs and IVs in Pokémon.
fun game still do like the postgame of 1 more also nice we got what we lacked in the english 3ds verison with use being able to get elder dragon monsties and the anime crossover of the second season in the tower
Wow this video dropped like 4am, guess it's because Jay's across the Pond. ANYWHO! I just to add, because he didn't mention it, you also learn why Navirou can go "Super Sayjin" and you get his "origin story" along with his Pals. "Enjoy the Hunting Life! G!!!" - Instructor
Stories 2 added different weapon types, but they removed the weapon combos from stories 1. I personally think the different weapon types is super tedious. I beat and grinded the tower in stories 1 when it came out but lost interest in stories 2 after 15 hours.
Yes Mhst2 is really better but ! Things I liked more in the first game : They way you can change main element from your monstie The way bingo system works so you can have good all rounder monsties Lastly, and maybe an unpopular opinion, but the way wilds monsters choose their patterns and attack type Because in stories 2 this is too predictable. Since double attacks are really easy to do, you can just double attack to death almost every monster. Well, until you meet late game monsters that will attack multiples times a turn. That to me felt a little bit unfair.. (yes in the first game some monsters can attack multiples times too, but it didn't bother me, idk why)
@@neomamba7555 than can be true but i have to play both again for comperasion because from my memory i had no problem in both games after fighting a Monster 1 or 2 times tonknew what they attack with 😅
Btw about thr Elder Dragon and the tower, it wasn't on the non-japanese version on 3DS, we got a game with less content than the one you got and the japanese got on 3DS no elder dragons or Rajand as monsties, and we couldn't open the door on the right in the Tower ...
Stories 1 is what helped me realize pokemon was lacking way back when it originally came out. Glad you enjoyed it so far.

Collecting all 100 of the Poogies actually gives a pretty tangible reward for the game, I won't say what it is, but it is pretty cool.
It’s a poogie
@@thecanadiandane7262 dude spoilers, not cool
I love the Stories games, they scratch my “What if I could tame the monsters” itch. Here’s hoping for a third one.

Me who Played the base MHS1 on my IPad 7 years ago.
Welcome to my sanctuary of peace.
I like MH Stories 1 over MH Stories 2 because you can change monstie's element and it will change the color of your monstie

It’s too bad you aren’t a larger TH-camr, enjoyable video and natural voice for relaxed videos!
Mh stories are so good!
Aw thank you!
Only thing that sucks about the sequel that this game has, the ability to change the monsters element...no idea why they removed it. If a Stories 3 ever happens, I hope they bring it back. (also put Chameleos in this damn series already, wtf Capcom? lol)
Funny that you mentioned chameleos in the remaster for the first game one of teostras egg patterns look like it would belong to chameleos

I Collect All the Poogies on the Remake version of MH:Stories. But here’s a Bonus is that you can Get Glavenus egg in this game.
Yeah I got it randomly from a nest and was so confused when it didn’t show up in the monstiepedia

MH Stories was my first MH game on the 3DS and it introduced me to this amazing series. I like it more than Stories 2 tbh
Back on the 3ds I got almost 700 hours on this game , I coulda done more if they actually released the 1.2 and 1.3 updates
Love more compact complete experiences you've sold me :)

As someone who 100% both the 3DS and Mobile, I can confirm that the game is very good. Also, fuck this game.
If all the fights are singles I may like stories 1 better than 2. The battles are just too much of a drag in 2 tbh
