My favourite? Can't really say, it's such a difficult pick since they all have their ups and downs. Pokke is nice due to the numerous things to do there but I never really liked the NPCs there as much as the ones in Moga Village. It's most likely the different localization teams handling the dialogue translation. For least favourite, as much as I hate to say it I'm afraid I would have to pick Tanjia Port due to the fact it feels the least eventful of all the ones I've visited. Granted, I can't read any of the dialogue which could potentially be interesting for a while, but there's not just much to do here aside from crafting equipment and taking on the more difficult quests. If it was online it would obviously place higher on my list. Yukumo has a great farm even surpassing that of Freedom Unite in my opinion and was frankly the best feature about the town besides the free-to-use hot spring.

As for the musical score that most tickles my fancy, this is also a very difficult pick. All the town and city music is excellent and I find myself regularly listening to all of the tunes. Kokoto, Minegarde, Jumbo, Dondruma, Pokke, Moga, Loc-Lac, Yukumo and Tanjia Port all have nice music. Even though I haven't played very much of MH2, the second generation hard-hitting combo of Jumbo and Dondruma would take the first place for me at this very moment. I could go on for hours about how much I love the music in the Monster Hunter series but this blog post isn't for that.

Monster Hunter 4 has already promised what I've wanted to see most in future villages: several of them in one game. The viking setting we've already seen looks interesting and I'm eagerly awaiting to see more.
