I'd have to agree somewhat with anon above. I mean.. let's face it.. IF we want mh to be as booming a franchise in the west as it is else where there should be some middle ground to keep it monster hunter but still give it something people can adjust to from other game series. I know from a western gaming standpoint the grinding gameplay and awesome slashing moments cater well to an action audience fearing this is just another droning rpg like WoW, FF, or diablo.. all of which are AWESOME in my mind but usually frowned upon by those playing call of duty and demon souls which to me is no surprise why dragons dogma is being covered more than monster hunter right now for all it's hack and slash elements with plenty of gore.

However Monster Hunter isn't some shadow of the colussus clone. We don't need the hunter running up obstacle points and jumping on the back of the monster to cherish this amazing franchise. I guess my advice to capcom would be if they want to capture a western audience advertise it better.. give it some american edge better than the one they used for tri with... what's his pants.... iron beard I think? Speaking personally though.. I think monster hunter would definitely benifit and maybe even DOMINATE the action jrpg genre if they gave it free roam.. maybe tuning it's attacks and combos to be familiar with games like dmc or GoW (especially if you're using dual swords) and some large dlcs for network game palyers to definitely test the waters with whatever new monsters they think of. I don't want parkour in my monster hunter like in the mh4 video though... that seems really out of place and innapropriate.. nay..even demeaning to the series.
