The World of Monster Hunter Stories

With just a couple of days left until release, Capcom has launched a new video series for Monster Hunter Stories. In this one, the company showcases the various elements of the game, complete with commentary from Lilia (the protagonist’s childhood friend). In the fourth and final episode, it’s the ancient ceremony and multiplayer we get a look at.

The ancient ceremony allows you to transfer abilities/skills from one Otomon to the other. This makes them stronger, but also more versatile, as it allows them to learn moves they normally shouldn’t be able to use.

As for multiplayer, there’s VS battles you can play either via local wireless or the internet. During those, you can use various stamps to communicate with your opponent, similar to those found in popular messenging apps like LINE.

StreetPass is also used in Monster Hunter Stories, and allows you to share Rider Cards with people you meet. On the card, there’s a picture of you, Nabiru, and an Otomon: naturally, you can customise it by chosing a different background. Talking of backgrounds, you can receive additional ones via the internet and other methods. Finally, you can also get special dungeons via StreetPass, including some rare ones.

Here’s the fourth and final episode of The World of Monster Hunter Stories, which is about the ancient ceremonuy and multiplayer:

Monster Hunter Stories – Gameplay footage, amiibo details

On Wednesday, Monster Hunter Stories was once again showcased during the latest episode of Capcom TV. We uploaded separate segments from the show, in order to keep just the relevant bits… the gameplay footage!

First, let’s start with something you’ve already seen several times before… character creation!

Next, some gameplay footage for the game proper, with Kopuni Village, some regular battles, egg hunting and hatching, some flying, the ancient ceremony, and even amiibo.

Talking of amiibo, Capcom revealed earlier this week what you would get when scanning one. And the video below shows how it works from 27:43. First, you talk with a Felyne called Nekonect-san, and you chose the amiibo option in the menu. Then, you scan one of the compatible amiibo figures, and chose a Mii and a Nickname for the amiibo.

After that, you go talk to the Felyne taking care of Otomon eggs, and give him the amiibo egg you got by scanning the figure. After that, the egg hatches, and you get your special Otomon!

Finally, the third and final recording shows some multiplayer battles:
