    Frontier had some crazy original fights, some brilliant designs and a lot of new concepts, but how did it treat the mainline monsters?
    Today we're going over just that, and covering the Exotic Species, Frontier's answer to "what would YOU do if you designed Gore Magala?"
    Spoilers, it can one shot and is covered in spikes, who would have guessed?!

    Now that its possible to play the MHFZ on your own private server honestly some full fight gameplay would be sick. I originally played Frontier as long time ago, so there wasn't as many monsters. I'm currently trying the exotics at High Rank (I think) and they are so beyond anything else in this rank. I only have to look at them and they destroy me.

      @@Kyfow Unfortunately yes it has been stolen (though it was just given then uploaded without permission) from a dude named 'fist' and his team and the reason to why they haven't released their own yet is because they wish to release the game in a fully finished state with their own sets of rebalances and fully translated. Tifa (the thief) released it early and is working on it aswell with their own team and release updates frequently including translations. I started playing it out of fear that with the early release capcom would send them a cease and desist and the game would then never come to light. The game currently is 90% playable and mostly translated with the things missing being mostly tied to events (not the same as event quests). Personally it's up to you to decide whether to use it or not but it's hard to put morality and trust on a group that has no public presence (i couldn't even find a single person other than fist that is working on the project and even fist himself ive only ever found speaking on his own website and a cameo on github, no reddit, no twitter, no discord, nothing he is just invisible) or even just a message every now and then on how development is going.

      @@wasabiguy2450 that was the case early on, like players wanting to be exclusive and not introduce any more new monsters to the main series after Hypnotrice and lavasioth. However frontier died out because the exclusivity eventually made it cannibalise itself. It was extremely irritating to try to play frontier if you weren't from Japan, and you ran the risk if perma bans if it was figured out
      MMOs gradually getting more and more expensive to maintain didn't help, and because they basically did everything in their power to prevent people from playing this game they didn't do themselves any favours

      @@wasabiguy2450 That would be really weird and stupid. Capcom didn't adapt Frontier monsters because 1: really petty fans whined about Lavasioth and Hypnocatrice (even though they were designed for mainline and just made it into Frontier first, which is the weirdest part of that snafu) and 2: the teams developing mainline felt that most Frontier-original designs did not actually match the "monster hunter aesthetic" (obviously there are exceptions, Espinas which is after all Rathian with a man jaw being one of them), though I think that's a bit of an odd hangup since some of Ichinose's monsters like Zinogre, Astalos, Glavenus and even Nargacuga feel more like Frontier monsters than mainline ones aesthetically.
      However, the reason Frontier closed is that the entirety of Capcom Online Games (COG) was liquidated, so ALL their games were closed, including Dragon's Dogma Online and Monster Hunter Explore. Over the years, COG's games had been gradually shut down as their usership waned, but Frontier's usership, as I understand it, had not really waned, and usership of Explore was still increasing (DDO, sadly, was not such a case and really was dying from what I've heard; I never got around to trying it). Officially, Capcom released statements about each of the games shut down at the end of 2019, and said that the COG ID (ie your login info with COG-run games) would be merged with your Capcom ID and would still enable access to the same services, except every single service COG ID worked for was "individually" shut down at the same time, so this was actually a bold-faced lie. Not surprising since despite the recent perplexing torrent of people claiming Capcom is a good company because they really listen to fans (because they happened to buff someone's favourite weapon in Sunbreak or something), they are almost as disgustingly anti-consumer as other notorious game companies like Nintendo or Ubisoft, and always have been.
      Anyway, if "sharing monsters" were the issue Stories would not have gotten a sequel, either, because it has non-mainline monsters as well (with Frontier-esque designs).

    Heya Cera,
    You might not recognize me but I've been here watching the channel for quite a while now.
    I've always been the biggest frontier fan since the dawn of time, and always tried to discuss and expel the usual BS views that people had of the spinoffs for a long while now.
    Through all of that, your channel and Chrono's have given me quite a bit of solace knowing there are others that share my love of this franchise in the west, aching at every chance to see it represented again, so I Thank you and hope you keep trucking on with those frontier vids!
    I recently got to play this masterpiece of a game, and hot damn, it really lived up to my expectations, and there's still more for me to experience XD.
    However, one thing for sure that I find troublesome is the fact that I speedrun in mainline games, and I like to play/main every single weapon in each Monster Hunter Game I play. Frontier is great and all, but I'm unable to figure out certain combos for unique moves and actions on some weapons, having to figure it out a bit sluggishly on my own.
    Because of this, could I possibly request some videos involving more weapons being reviewed from frontier? You've done things like Swaxe, Magnet Spike, etc, but I need some lesser known stuff like Frontier's Gunlance and Frontier's Dual blades combos and moves with each rank if possible.
    Thanks!!!

      I think I’d like to do more videos like the SA and GS Frontier ones, there’s only so many weapons I’m properly familiar with in Frontier however. Probably if I do another it’ll be SnS (REALLY good weapon btw), and it’ll be in the same format as before, since I haven’t really done full in-depth weapon tutorials so to speak.
      As for the other weapons, I’ll be sure to branch out too, I’ve been trying Lance as well so I think it’s worthwhile topics to cover (: thanks for the comment!

    All the monsters attack animations seemed to always be a splitsecond too late or too early to bait you to counter/evade at the wrong time. And the fact that some monsters can bait you with an easily counter-able attack only to follow it up with a second, more devastating move was pure genius. I wish sunbreak monsters will be like this

      IMO everything past Tri feels completely playable, but full disclosure that I started with 3U, and I do miss certain QOL features when I go back to P3rd or 3U. (Newer games had some nice stuff but I don't really miss it when I play 4U, except for being able to remove all decorations at once (added in X) or grab equipped decos off of other pieces of armour (added in world).
      Also seconding P3rd. If it had G rank there is basically no question that it would be THE BEST Monster Hunter experience. Instead that title goes to 4U IMO.
