If you say everything about Aya, do you mean what you said in the video? Because I think that's not true. The Guild tried to make contact but the problem was that the Kingdoms (Multiple) are of too private nature and refused the initial contact up until this day. Not because the kultur was too alien. So that indicates that at least a few things ARE known, like the thing that Aya houses multiple kingdoms. This is the only thing really, that I noticed that bothered me, other than the massive creative freedoms like the location of Chico Sands and Yukumo Village but I can't really say anything about that because I also don't know it better. And you clarified that this was not necessarily canon so it's all good. I for one thought that Chico Sands is an actual Island off the coast of west shrade and that Yukumo Village lies near the misty peaks, further inlands of the west continent and not in the old world at all... But that's pretty much all. Good video all in all, its educational and I think that's nice. 👍 Oh and also the thing with Bherna being on the Island district and the entire thing with the Island district was very creative but I think Bherna is located southwest of the Furahya mountains, on the great green plato that is known as the Goldora region. But again, I can't say for sure because I don't know if it's actually canon.
@@dero4378 I had never heard that tidbit about Aya, can you link me where you found it? All I remember from the HE is what is stated in the video (though the HE says "their culture is different" and " constact is sparse" as two sequential, but separate statements)
Even if Stories 1&2 were canon, you probably made the right choice to exclude them from the video. The two spin-offs play fast and loose with the lore not just in conjunction with the main series, but between each other as well. I.E. the existence of two famous riders named Red and the obfuscated origin of The Black Blight and Kinship Stones.
@@Oceaniz Monster Hunter Stories 1 and 2 are canon, it's just they are in their own chronology since they take place in another parallel dimension inside the Monster Hunter universe. But yes, because of this, and since this video only take the example from the main chronology, they must be excluded. Outside that, outside the Map of the New World/Continent of MHW, it's true we haven't any map at all of the Old World/Continent. In fact, the only one we have from Mh2/2nd Gen must be so outdated with all the numerous new added locations, places, settlements and biomes that she cannot be updated and adjusted to the needs of the current status of the main chronology. So much that I think we should no more take it as canon at all. Because of that, technically, the main chronology games and Old World continent have any real official map at all. And since what GaijinHunter in 2018 do is complete fanart and speculation, his own map of the Old World must be excluded for every kind of possible serious uses regarding the franchise in general. It's not canon at all too. In the same time, who truly care about the map and the look of the Old World. In fact, do we really need a map of the continent and to know how he look ? I don't think so, at least to play the games. If Capcom never released any kind of others map, it's because the world of Monster Hunter, at least regarding his Old World continent, is so vast and big, way more that we can imagined, with such mosaic of habitats almost randomely put here and here, of locations with so numerous differents cultures, that any map of any kind can even describe and give a accurate and small look of the thing itself in his entirety. Plus, every game take place in a location/settlement at the middle of the differents biomes of the same game, who are themsleves side by side and close togethers, hence why the player can realistically go easily whithout problems and loss of time to these same biomes. And the player realising quests who remain all locals, to solve problems who are locals to the place where the settlement in which the player is is located. That make sens and logic. Because the player will not realise a quest to solve a problem that occurs many miles away from another complete location. That don't make sens to do a quest in a very far location, where in the universe of the game, others hunters natives to this far other location obviousely exists and should be able to realise this quest instead of us, the player, justly (the exception being Rise, where it's obvious we do quests that take us many, many miles away from kamura village instead to always be near this location. At a point where it's quite ridiculous in final. Hence why recycling maps from others games isn't a good thing for the sake of the univers itself). After all, it's also not a bad thing that some elements remain completely open, not answered and free to the thoughts of the player. And to decide what each want. They allow more liberties in various things, often beneficial to the game lore itself. Whatever the case, it's completely and totally too late to give and do another, updated, map. It's was something to permanently do at every main chronology game's released. And so, since even not to many people care or ask to receive another version of the Old Wolrd continent, we will never have another version of this latter. Like I said, in final, the lack of a map showing the entire continent don't and never to this day impact our own experience or way to play the games themselves. So why even begin and give a map to begin in the first place thus the utility isn't here at all. And thus such important element will hugely shake in an imprissible point the entire franchise and his community, for mostly likely the worse because the perception, the experience and the view of the long-time established elements of the games will be edited too much that most the players can handle. After all, the case of the Star Wars Franchise, as comparison, when splitting in two part Canons chronologies when Disney bought the franchise to made he's own movies show perfectly how the fanbase and community will react and be impacted all in such event come a day as this one. What happen to the Star Wars Lore edits and his huge mixed and negative reception will very, very likely be the exact same situation for Monster Hunter or any others franchise. So, to conclude, while your video is a good video, I really liked her, she, all the infos in her, and the map of GaijinHunter, must be regarded as irrelevant and not a depiction/representation to use to show what the world of Monster Hunter is to others people. Since she, and what we see and heard in it, is a combinason of officials, speculatives and not canons elements mixed togethers. However, as a educative tool to explain people about Worldbuilding and Speculative Evolution, she's a great informative video in that regard, in many extents. That for sure ! She's deserved a good 9/10 rate overall. And it's good that you precise what is official (for the few things that exist and we have in this extent), and what is personnal speculation and unofficial/not canon elements. Like this, this video avoid all types of misinformation of any sort.
I assumed Capcom just scrapped the old lore for Aya and remade it into Elgado. I think it really sucks how capcom doesn't seem to care much about the map, especially the portable team. Main team seems to care more: Mh1 had very consistant map of the old world, Mh4u had some sort of mini map that was very artistic but at least it was something, world had an actual map but it was not of the old world. Rise is the worst of it, not even giving a hint of where Kamura or Elgado is located.
@@herrscherofgachapain6342 Hi !!! I was 8 years old back then, but I was hooked with the gameplay when I was a kid, in my head I was a noble samurai with a giant ass great sword katana, and my first great wall was Yian Kut Ku, but will always be Gypceros.
I was born in Moga village, it's weird that no one asks me to slay more underwater monsters granting my unique skillset but I guess underwater wyerns aren't as concerning as they were back in my region, and they are only concerning when they do get out of the water.
As somebody who joined during MH World, the Old World sort of felt like a history lesson of sorts. It's like being born in the New World and having all these things told by a scholar of some sorts at canteen at night. When we got the New World I was like "Yooo, that's us! I explored all of that! I've been there!" and the Old World simply felt wonderful and such rich in culture. Gosh this game is so special...
As a veteran of the series, it felt like a reunion with old friends. Old names, old places, old memories that will stay forever... Every new mention of a new locale or a new town brought at least one moment of notice of me playing the games all those years ago. "Oh I got carted for the first time there by a rathian!", "I had forgotten how seamless the transition from land to underwater was", "Man, the Dalamadur cinematic never gets old...". Being a fan of the series from the start is bittersweet, because we have an incredible setting that produces amazing games, but it's never fully explored in-depth, and every new iteration brings more and more content wich in turn brings in more and more questions about the world. I'd give anything for an RPG where you're a Guild Knight and explore the whole world. Also, as a fun bit, every old Hunter I met that was playing World had a "I need a minute" moment when we went to Schrade Castle for the Fatalis fight. That one hit right in the feels. It was like being a kid all over again. I love this series of games so much...
as a veteran, I love being the scholar, telling the new world folks about the wonders of our old land, the troubles, the monsters, the challenges we'd endured, the companions we made along the way: exaggerating, making it sound like a fairy tale, as magical as it maybe even wasn't, but sure as hell felt like.
I hope we return to the new world one day. See astera not as a cobbled together outpost, but as a proper city come into its own a generation or two down the line. Great stone walls lines with enough dragonators to make the old man cry. Maybe to explore the far northern reaches of the continent.
Or see the aftermath of an elder dragon crossing going bad, where the whole new world is changed from the explosion of the death of something like Zorah Magdaros. Just to see the world we know, some parts being recognizable, but completely changed and altered forever. Just the ecosystem there allows them to bring it back, but different every time we see it.
30:50 the new world is not newly discovered, it's newly *explored* The elder crossing has been known about for centuries and the existence of another landmass theorized for just as long, but human travel to the other continent only became possible through recent (50-ish years) advancements in sailing technology
as a veteran hunter, watching this video makes me feel like I've been living for thousands of years. when it shows kokoto village and hearing "the hero of kokoto" mentioned, I be like, "I was there, 3000 years ago" 😂
Hearing about the Moga region and having started the series as a Gen3 hunter with MH3 felt so special to me, I felt like I was watching the history of my home region ❤😂
I can’t put it into words what the Monster Hunter series has done for me and so many others who share the love and passion that pulses through this series. It allows us to get together like this and just loses ourselves in this amazing universe. I love watching your vids, keep’em coming. What you do is beyond words.
Its also important to note that there is more land to the North of the New World, it has just been observed that the wild life in that region are too dangerous for hunters to explore.
Nope. After the Guiding Lands, just above the Volcanic biome, there no more additional lands. At maximum, there were the Frozen biome we discovers during Iceborne, but this land broke off from the rest of the New World long time ago. It's not something directly said, but that explain why there the Frozen biome's Monsters such the Banbaroo and Frost Variants in the Guiding Lands thus the Frozen biome is completely serapated from the rest of the New World.
@@dudotolivier6363 I dont remember where, but I recall hearing that there are lands north of the Elders Recess, its just that the Recess is the furthest north you can go before you reach areas too dangerous for even Master Rank adventurers. Like, apparently Uraggon arent native to the Recess, they just migrate there to feast from further north. Again, could be wrong, but I recall hearing that somewhere.
@@Gamer_G33k I believe your right but that area is the guiding lands, and those monsters that were to dangerous for hunters is Safi jiiva and alatreon??? This is right out my ass but I thought It kind of makes sense
The only thing about the Monster Hunter universe that irks me alittle is how terrestrial animals that should be endemic to islands such as the Glavenus shouldn't technically be elsewhere on other continents - unless they're brought by Hunters for Arena fighting, or there's like a subspecies/ divergent species that evolved in another region. ...But that is just the ecologist in me 🫥
Thank you so very much for these documentaries and all of your research, work and skill that goes into every single one of them! You make not only my experience, but all of Monster Hunter that much richer and that much more in depth. You make it all so real. It blows my mind every time I watch and listen. Awe-striking, awe-inspiring, and all around awesome! Thank you; keep it up (if you so choose).
This was such a cool video! Thank you for sharing this. I love monster hunter and the sense of wonder and exploration it creates. This was a great presentation on the locales and history of monster hunter lore ❤
The kill is in self defence, the monsters attacked first. What am I supposed to do when Rajang just straight up wants to murder me when I just picked bugs in the forest biome?
25:28 Ima have to stop ya right there. The loading screen for Sunbreak clearly shows Elgado and Kamura are pretty much right next to each other separated by a rather thin strip of ocean. Also in that same loading screen they show the Lava Caverns as their own separate island past Kamura and the Flooded Forest. While I agree with the proximity of Kamura and the Flooded forest I do not agree with where Elgado is
Would be fun if after MHWilds they make a “mmorpg“ monster hunter with maps, monster, location, city/village from previous MH games. You start in chronological order, from the oldest game to the newest and you can cross path with real players doing their things. From time to time a world event would happen anywhere in the world where a really powerful version of X monster would appear and…let’s say 10-20 hunters can take it down and pray the rng gods for amazing loot. Of course the game would be like a traditional MH game. But with a little bit of mmo feature. TLDR: Mmorpg MH game, map is every location from previous and new MH games, world boss event, mmo features and also add every great things from every previous game (like prowler mode, underwater combat, reworked lost weapons) cross path and interact with players across the worlds.
As with many fully fictional worlds, the world of Monster hunter seams very northern in its construction, which seems like a flaw or lack of creativity. Then I remember that our own world is very north biased, these maps are being made by people radiating out from a northern settlement, and on top of the dangers we face IRL when exploring across oceans, they also have to contend with creatures that can rip full sailing vessels apart like paper.
I get it's speculative but Kamuras position doesn't make any sense. It has 2 ports that are accessable by sea. It's also entirely surrounded by very steep and varying mountains, suggesting it's somewhere near Misty peaks (cause mountains everywhere), and they are kinda misty too XD Elgado is also somewhere that's inland. It's entirely surrounded by mountains in the near distance, obviously with some break somewhere for ships to navigate through. The Citadel however, as far as I remember, is noted to be in The Kingdom so its unlikely to be in an already explored and known region, unless The Kingdom is tiny ahah
i can't help but notice the dirt effect on the ground in 8:48, perhaps a product of this trick to make a first person camera in game. idc i never played the older titles
I'm so glad this video exists, it just makes me want to go back to older games and re-leave those moments, but with this info in mind. And while I know that not everything 100% true, but I hope Capcom would see this video and give us a more concrete version of the map and how the story progressed somewhere in the future. The world of MH is fascinating, and if I haven't played MH before this video, I would definitely give it a try after watching this.
28:00 I would like to point out that, contrary to the official map, the Tower isn't actually located to the East, but is located in the Jungle (the one near Jumbo). This is proven in MHDos, as well as the Hunter's Life magazines in Freedom Unite. Why the Tower was retconned to being in the Great Forest in the map, I have no idea
@@beepbeeplettuce_6943 No less sense than going from Kamura to the Sandy Plains, which is very far away from it Speaking of which, I think the Sandy Plains should have been retconned as a tropical savannah prairie (like the real life Serengeti National Park) instead of being just another generic desert. By extension creatures like Diablos and Monoblos should have been savannah creatures as well as just purely desert ones.
See, the fact that the Hunter's Guild hunts down rogue Hunters that "needlessly" hunt wyverns is a scary fact to me. I understand that keeping ecological balance is important but hear me out: >These Wyverns keep people inside the walls of their cities. >The Hunter's Guild have their own military (of veteran hunters!) that are capable of going anywhere through the world, including the Frontier. >They have branches in every existing city, being the only force that can control wyvern populations. Just how huge is the Hunter's Guild? How much power does it have? What kind of influence do they have over these settlements that can barely fend for themselves?
Thank you so much for this video Oceaniz, always wanted an elaborated view of the Monster Hunter World. Though, now I seemimgly have more questions than answers. Like for example, where does MH Stories 1&2 fit in all this? And how dafuq did 2 Dalamadur manage to travel that far just to die and become the rotten vale?!
So we travel all across the continent just to get 20 herbs, 3 goldenfish, kill 3 popo, and etc. Props for the hunter on having the will to do that for a couple zennie.
So based on what we learn in MHW we can surmise that what separates Monsters from ordinary animals in this world is the mysterious 'Bio-Energy'. Elder-Dragons are probably so powerful because they have MUCH more BioEnergy than normal monsters. If the Everstream really does flow underground all over the world like its implied then its pretty anagalous to the 'Lifestream' of Final Fantasy 7, and the Elder-crossing most likely happens so dying Elder Dragons can return their bio-energy to the planet. Savi-Jiva probably acts as a control mechanism to help siphon Bio-Energy and prevent too much from returning to the planet at once. Its all speculation on my part but it sounds plausible.
After getting into Rise as my first Mon ster Hunter, Ive also been really digging the worldbuilding and lore of it and the rest of the series so far (from what Ive seen). Theres so much to unpack in terms story and lore of the worlds, characters, monsters and just everything! This video is a really cool visual aid and really gets me even more excited to eventually experience the other MH games.
I still find it funny that the events of MH Generations aren't canon but at least Bherna does exist in the main universe. I remember all the talk of Crimson Glow Valstrax in Rise being the first canonical appearance of a Valstrax and it was a variant 😂
Ok damn. so the villages from my 2 favourite games in the series. 3 Ultimate and Generations Ultimate aren't too far from each other. I must really like archipelagos
Oceaniz is my fav youtuber, i never would have tried monster hunter if it werent for his videos on world, plus the lore makes the game so much more meaningful to the overall narrative. Oceaniz' cinematography and narration always improves my enjoyment of other media, be it games or anime!!
Great job man. Your videos on monster hunter have helped me fall in love with the series again. I am playing through worl again because of your documentary series as it is prpbably my favorite entry. Keep up the great work!
I was just thinking, maybe the severe and immediate death sentence by the Guild Knights are because, if the balance of nature is upset too much, monsters will again start to rise up and attack humans more often, like they did in ancient times during the fall of the Ancient Civilization. It's unlikely that the current humanity could come anywhere near close enough to the atrocities of the Ancient Civilization, but maybe the Guild understand that the monsters will wipe out mankind if things get too out of hand again.
A game set on aya would be awesome, where they have their own rules and laws in place in regards to their endemic monsters. I think, as a spinoff title it'd be a cool location to experiment with different weird things that aren't standards of the series.
this is why i love the monster hunter series! the settings, lore, mystery, and ancient civilization, is just chef kiss. it's just so amazing i couldn't describe it. the gameplay and monster design is also a plus.
Me just mad that pokke village is sorta close to Eldagdo and we can't change the BGM in our room to pokke village since we're so close to it: >:c Yes I played ultimate generation how can you tell
7:40 wtf I work there. Apparently it's now Verudo fortress, I didn't know. Wish there were some wyvern coming by from time to time irl and not just tourists, that would make my job a whole lot more interesting. Anyways, great and interesting video. Have a nice day y'all!
I really wonder where Mezeporta, Poka Poka Airu Village and the Monster Hunter Stories Continent are, I know that they're all spin-offs/non canon however it would be interesting.

30:50 the new world is not newly discovered, it's newly *explored*
The elder crossing has been known about for centuries and the existence of another landmass theorized for just as long, but human travel to the other continent only became possible through recent (50-ish years) advancements in sailing technology
5:24 but they don’t take any of your loot, so not really
Apart from literally all of the account items, so yeah kinda
this is so cool
And now we wait for where Wilds will be set 😀
29:35 I’d be more then happy to set that as my homscreen lol
32:50
"a cadaver"
a skeleton
"mmhhh"
the reason why i love Monster Hunter ☝
Great stuff
as a veteran hunter, watching this video makes me feel like I've been living for thousands of years. when it shows kokoto village and hearing "the hero of kokoto" mentioned, I be like, "I was there, 3000 years ago" 😂
Hype for MH:Wilds
Hearing about the Moga region and having started the series as a Gen3 hunter with MH3 felt so special to me, I felt like I was watching the history of my home region ❤😂
I can’t put it into words what the Monster Hunter series has done for me and so many others who share the love and passion that pulses through this series. It allows us to get together like this and just loses ourselves in this amazing universe. I love watching your vids, keep’em coming. What you do is beyond words.
I hope we get an update once Wilds is out with the forbidden lands
Its also important to note that there is more land to the North of the New World, it has just been observed that the wild life in that region are too dangerous for hunters to explore.
Nope. After the Guiding Lands, just above the Volcanic biome, there no more additional lands.
At maximum, there were the Frozen biome we discovers during Iceborne, but this land broke off from the rest of the New World long time ago.
It's not something directly said, but that explain why there the Frozen biome's Monsters such the Banbaroo and Frost Variants in the Guiding Lands thus the Frozen biome is completely serapated from the rest of the New World.
@@dudotolivier6363 I dont remember where, but I recall hearing that there are lands north of the Elders Recess, its just that the Recess is the furthest north you can go before you reach areas too dangerous for even Master Rank adventurers. Like, apparently Uraggon arent native to the Recess, they just migrate there to feast from further north.
Again, could be wrong, but I recall hearing that somewhere.
@@Gamer_G33k I believe your right but that area is the guiding lands, and those monsters that were to dangerous for hunters is Safi jiiva and alatreon??? This is right out my ass but I thought It kind of makes sense
@@herbyplayz5813 alatreon goes where he wants he is known as the wandering calamity
@@Gamer_G33k The Guiding Lands ARE justly the additional land to the North of the New World, above and farer than the Elder Recess maps.
The only thing about the Monster Hunter universe that irks me alittle is how terrestrial animals that should be endemic to islands such as the Glavenus shouldn't technically be elsewhere on other continents - unless they're brought by Hunters for Arena fighting, or there's like a subspecies/ divergent species that evolved in another region.
...But that is just the ecologist in me 🫥
Thank you so very much for these documentaries and all of your research, work and skill that goes into every single one of them!
You make not only my experience, but all of Monster Hunter that much richer and that much more in depth.
You make it all so real. It blows my mind every time I watch and listen.
Awe-striking, awe-inspiring, and all around awesome!
Thank you; keep it up (if you so choose).
This was such a cool video! Thank you for sharing this. I love monster hunter and the sense of wonder and exploration it creates. This was a great presentation on the locales and history of monster hunter lore ❤
WTH, that immenseness guy is truly immense. Why is he that huge?
Because why not
With all the unsanctioned hunting I’ve done in the Guiding Lands, I’m shocked I don’t have all the guild knights in Dundorma after my head
The kill is in self defence, the monsters attacked first. What am I supposed to do when Rajang just straight up wants to murder me when I just picked bugs in the forest biome?
This is just a dungeon masters dream map, for running a Monster Hunters campaign. Thanks
too good keep doing this
25:28 Ima have to stop ya right there. The loading screen for Sunbreak clearly shows Elgado and Kamura are pretty much right next to each other separated by a rather thin strip of ocean. Also in that same loading screen they show the Lava Caverns as their own separate island past Kamura and the Flooded Forest. While I agree with the proximity of Kamura and the Flooded forest I do not agree with where Elgado is
Would be fun if after MHWilds they make a “mmorpg“ monster hunter with maps, monster, location, city/village from previous MH games. You start in chronological order, from the oldest game to the newest and you can cross path with real players doing their things. From time to time a world event would happen anywhere in the world where a really powerful version of X monster would appear and…let’s say 10-20 hunters can take it down and pray the rng gods for amazing loot. Of course the game would be like a traditional MH game. But with a little bit of mmo feature.
TLDR: Mmorpg MH game, map is every location from previous and new MH games, world boss event, mmo features and also add every great things from every previous game (like prowler mode, underwater combat, reworked lost weapons) cross path and interact with players across the worlds.
As with many fully fictional worlds, the world of Monster hunter seams very northern in its construction, which seems like a flaw or lack of creativity. Then I remember that our own world is very north biased, these maps are being made by people radiating out from a northern settlement, and on top of the dangers we face IRL when exploring across oceans, they also have to contend with creatures that can rip full sailing vessels apart like paper.
22:29 is that a prowler in there? 😂
Just finished your 1 hour mha vidoe
And your mha vidoe are amazing
My anticipation of getting to the New World was palpable
I get it's speculative but Kamuras position doesn't make any sense. It has 2 ports that are accessable by sea. It's also entirely surrounded by very steep and varying mountains, suggesting it's somewhere near Misty peaks (cause mountains everywhere), and they are kinda misty too XD
Elgado is also somewhere that's inland. It's entirely surrounded by mountains in the near distance, obviously with some break somewhere for ships to navigate through.
The Citadel however, as far as I remember, is noted to be in The Kingdom so its unlikely to be in an already explored and known region, unless The Kingdom is tiny ahah
Can't wait to see what's next!
I've been a monster hunter fan since world as it was my first installment, im very gladly for you educating me! Thank you!
i can't help but notice the dirt effect on the ground in 8:48, perhaps a product of this trick to make a first person camera in game. idc i never played the older titles
Thank you for the video, Monster Hunter Lore Videos are something I need.
Excellent video
Hmmm... will bruv discuss the great wyvern war, the equal dragon weapon, and the 6 horned black flame fatalis destroying schrade?
Bring on the monster hunter documentaries! I love it...
I'm so glad this video exists, it just makes me want to go back to older games and re-leave those moments, but with this info in mind. And while I know that not everything 100% true, but I hope Capcom would see this video and give us a more concrete version of the map and how the story progressed somewhere in the future. The world of MH is fascinating, and if I haven't played MH before this video, I would definitely give it a try after watching this.
Finally something cohesive regarding the geography
28:00 I would like to point out that, contrary to the official map, the Tower isn't actually located to the East, but is located in the Jungle (the one near Jumbo). This is proven in MHDos, as well as the Hunter's Life magazines in Freedom Unite.
Why the Tower was retconned to being in the Great Forest in the map, I have no idea
It makes sense. The tower is surrounded by a giant forest, so it canonically being the Great Forest would fit nicely.
@@unicorntomboy9736 That would position it really far from Jumbo though, which would mean Dos' story makes less sense.
@@beepbeeplettuce_6943 How so?
@@beepbeeplettuce_6943 No less sense than going from Kamura to the Sandy Plains, which is very far away from it
Speaking of which, I think the Sandy Plains should have been retconned as a tropical savannah prairie (like the real life Serengeti National Park) instead of being just another generic desert. By extension creatures like Diablos and Monoblos should have been savannah creatures as well as just purely desert ones.
See, the fact that the Hunter's Guild hunts down rogue Hunters that "needlessly" hunt wyverns is a scary fact to me. I understand that keeping ecological balance is important but hear me out:
>These Wyverns keep people inside the walls of their cities.
>The Hunter's Guild have their own military (of veteran hunters!) that are capable of going anywhere through the world, including the Frontier.
>They have branches in every existing city, being the only force that can control wyvern populations.
Just how huge is the Hunter's Guild? How much power does it have? What kind of influence do they have over these settlements that can barely fend for themselves?
Thank you so much for this video Oceaniz, always wanted an elaborated view of the Monster Hunter World. Though, now I seemimgly have more questions than answers. Like for example, where does MH Stories 1&2 fit in all this? And how dafuq did 2 Dalamadur manage to travel that far just to die and become the rotten vale?!
So we travel all across the continent just to get 20 herbs, 3 goldenfish, kill 3 popo, and etc. Props for the hunter on having the will to do that for a couple zennie.
16;52 MOGA MENTIONED 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 AISHA BEST GIRL!!! ❤❤🎉❤🎉🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉🎉
I was conditioned to believe this would be a video by Map Men
I started off as a moga hunter, good times :)
Good job!!!!!
Personally the old jungle and the sekumea peninsula sound a lot like we have been seeing the mhwilds trailers
Damn I love monster hunter
So based on what we learn in MHW we can surmise that what separates Monsters from ordinary animals in this world is the mysterious 'Bio-Energy'. Elder-Dragons are probably so powerful because they have MUCH more BioEnergy than normal monsters. If the Everstream really does flow underground all over the world like its implied then its pretty anagalous to the 'Lifestream' of Final Fantasy 7, and the Elder-crossing most likely happens so dying Elder Dragons can return their bio-energy to the planet. Savi-Jiva probably acts as a control mechanism to help siphon Bio-Energy and prevent too much from returning to the planet at once. Its all speculation on my part but it sounds plausible.
Nice work
Imagine a show or anima about the guild knights would be sick
To think rise and sun break takes place back in the old world.
Awesome video sir
i can't express how mush i was awaiting for a video like this, i love it
Thank you very much sir
nice quality
After getting into Rise as my first Mon ster Hunter, Ive also been really digging the worldbuilding and lore of it and the rest of the series so far (from what Ive seen). Theres so much to unpack in terms story and lore of the worlds, characters, monsters and just everything! This video is a really cool visual aid and really gets me even more excited to eventually experience the other MH games.
I wish we could visit Harth and the highest village from 4 again. And Kokoto with modern graphics and the same village theme
Thanks for the hard work.
Time to rejoin the 5th fleet!
thanks alot for these lore vids. I've wished for vids like these since mh4u came out
I still find it funny that the events of MH Generations aren't canon but at least Bherna does exist in the main universe.
I remember all the talk of Crimson Glow Valstrax in Rise being the first canonical appearance of a Valstrax and it was a variant 😂
This is so cool, you never really see this map laid out for you in a standard playthrough of the games, so something like this is always a fun watch
With the reveal of Monster Hunter Wilds, revisiting this is interesting!
It will be fascinating to see where and when Wilds takes place.
Watching this to hype for MH Wilds.
So it seems Aya or the region up north it is then for wilds and the old world again.
Ok damn. so the villages from my 2 favourite games in the series. 3 Ultimate and Generations Ultimate aren't too far from each other. I must really like archipelagos
The amount of work that must've gone into this.. Holy shit. You're amazing! Can't wait to see you cover whatever happens in MH6
Oceaniz is my fav youtuber, i never would have tried monster hunter if it werent for his videos on world, plus the lore makes the game so much more meaningful to the overall narrative. Oceaniz' cinematography and narration always improves my enjoyment of other media, be it games or anime!!
Great job man. Your videos on monster hunter have helped me fall in love with the series again. I am playing through worl again because of your documentary series as it is prpbably my favorite entry.
Keep up the great work!
Hey this was a really cool video man, good work!
I was just thinking, maybe the severe and immediate death sentence by the Guild Knights are because, if the balance of nature is upset too much, monsters will again start to rise up and attack humans more often, like they did in ancient times during the fall of the Ancient Civilization.
It's unlikely that the current humanity could come anywhere near close enough to the atrocities of the Ancient Civilization, but maybe the Guild understand that the monsters will wipe out mankind if things get too out of hand again.
I love this video! the quality is amazing!
What a great Video as a hunter of the fifth fleet 🙏
I am so glad I found this video, I was looking for lore on the different locations of MH for OC backstory purposes and coming up empty until now.
That was cool man
A game set on aya would be awesome, where they have their own rules and laws in place in regards to their endemic monsters. I think, as a spinoff title it'd be a cool location to experiment with different weird things that aren't standards of the series.
I have to thank you a real lot because i will be doing a MH TTRPG campain. This will be immensely useful ^^
Omg...This is your only video I have ever seen! Even if I never find interest in any other of your videos I am now subscribing, this is a work of art!
Man, Pokke village was SO comfy
this is why i love the monster hunter series! the settings, lore, mystery, and ancient civilization, is just chef kiss. it's just so amazing i couldn't describe it. the gameplay and monster design is also a plus.
11:48 how do expeditions play into this rule?
Such a great video well done!
its 7 am and im hella zooted, Wtf you tellin me my man
Me just mad that pokke village is sorta close to Eldagdo and we can't change the BGM in our room to pokke village since we're so close to it: >:c
Yes I played ultimate generation how can you tell
I just recently got into monster hunter and glad I did ❤
7:40 wtf I work there. Apparently it's now Verudo fortress, I didn't know. Wish there were some wyvern coming by from time to time irl and not just tourists, that would make my job a whole lot more interesting.
Anyways, great and interesting video. Have a nice day y'all!
I am a map nerd who is just getting back into monster hunter. And youtube recommends me this. I am blessed
I really wonder where Mezeporta, Poka Poka Airu Village and the Monster Hunter Stories Continent are, I know that they're all spin-offs/non canon however it would be interesting.
