The START Of Sunbreak Does NOT Have Enough NEW Monsters 

I think I need to explain my reasoning for not liking having old monsters as key quests and urgents in Sunbreak. They feel like filler quests to me due to having already hunted these monsters many times in base rise. That and the way Capcom marketed their material made it seem like we might get more than what they showed which wasn't the case and made the early game not as exciting for me. I know there are new moves to all the old monsters like in previous titles, but I would've at least liked to see new subspecies for monsters like Tetranadon and Aknosom to name a few.

I felt the same when I began Sunbreak. Nearly no new monsters for the first key quests 😭 that was a bit disappointing. The beginning felt sooooo slow. I was so bored for the first MR stars quests. But everything improved later on 💪🏻

I think familiar fights early on is fine, because they give you Switch Skill Swap and a new move almost instantly, so they give you some familiar fights to do with a few new attacks so you can get more used to the Switch Skill system while not having to also learn a fight at the same time And I prefer that the bigger, badder monsters return, ill wait 2-3 ranks to see Gore Magala and Seregios then have Seltas and Gendrome return instead just for new fights earlier Also I call him Bob Blood Orange Bishaten

I agree when I played it i was disappointed that the first 2 ranks I had only fought 1 or 2 new monster

I feel like this would be a non issue with +2 new monsters to replace the Tetranadon and Anja urgents. It's fine to have the repeated monsters on key quests, but urgents should feel a bit more interesting imo. Maybe Tetsucabra to replace tetra and anything else to replace poor weakling anja.

I think not having a lot of NEW monsters in the beginning is fine actually. They get to show off the new master rank monsters in that time and they have a LOT of new moves that can catch you off guard. Plus, all the monsters they added have ACTUAL value to their armor. None of the new Sunbreak monsters are just fodder monsters and actually are important to your progression.

I just kinda feel like there should have been a greater number of new monsters full stop (maybe T1 and T2 monsters should have been in the game at launch, though wouldn't have fixed the lack of new stuff in MR1 and MR2)

3:40 Dude! This segment was so awesome! Very well done,looking forward for your next video!

Yea the start was somewhat underwhelming and disappointing that you don’t get to fight the new stuff much earlier but honestly a small nitpick, it gets crazy from beeg monke

I dont know why this is so funny but the way you said: "Omg Pinecones!" At 2:18 made me laugh so hard!

I still don't understand why great jagras, zamtrios, agnaktor, Tetsucabra and great jaggi are not in the game but there younger versions are. it would make the early game better and maybe a few surprises like Great Macco, great boggi of even a new crab. in my opinion.

You are very close to getting 20K subscribers, good job Reaver 💙😁

I agree with a few other commenters here, a bunch of the old monsters had to be first otherwise they would have been overshadowed by the new ones. I really enjoyed looking for the new moves!

Gotta say the only Monster I was really hoping would surprise me by showing up early was Zamtrios, love my Sharky Boi but unfortunately that was not to be. I feel like early game monsters always get shafted when it comes to returning roster spots, things like Great Maccao or Malfestio would’ve been really cool to see

Hear a good way to think about it, getting all the old monsters out of the way at the start, means the rest of sunbreak will be more exciting with a plethora of new monsters.

AYO! What a Banger Video! To be continued. 😂 haha! What's this a One Piece Episode? 😆 Good Luck at Espinas ma man.

I honestly didn’t have an issue with it. The master rank move sets of the older monsters are so much more engaging that they feel new or at least fresh fights again.

you get the known monsters first because you somewhat know what the monster can do and get use to the new pace of the master rank hunts. also so you can build some armor and stuff to get better defence before you get thrown at the newer stuff

I think it's better this way personally, save all the new cool monsters till mid to end game. Don't want another Banboro

Honestly I prefer having to fight the known/normal monsters first, it's nice when you finally get to see one of the new monsters and always gives a wow effect for me, I don't want every new monster instantly spoiled to me.

At 3:40 it was good and I the right time and I’m happy sunbreak came out because now I can hunt astralos since it has cool Armor and weapons 😊

Blood orange bishaten’s name is Bob. I love him.

Yeah the lack of new monsters until the BoB urgent really rubs me the wrong way I still love the expansion but compared to iceborne you Hunt Beotodus Banbaro then viper *counting assignments as urgents* it takes 6 hunts to hunt the returning barrioth

Hey Reaver I was wondering if it is possible to beat MHR with only the Throwing Kunia (the throwing knife). Could you try this out?

I think the early game is mostly filled with the base roster sense that what happen the the base roster has a lot of monsters (sense Base Rise had more monsters then base world did but the master rank move they got and such us some the fun with master rank to some degree (I think it like this so that unlike iceborne were most of the new monster get shafted for the endgame monsters sense that world and iceborne were more meta focus and each title update having even Harder fights but with more meta focus builds untill we got iceborne fatalis and AT Velkanna as the final peak before iceborne run ends) this so all the new monster don't get shafted as soon you get to end game grind even with the lower tier monsters too!

Ok but that element discharge cut edit was clean tho

Do you have a full video of your playthrough? Just asking other then that i believe they're trying to prepare you.

This was one of my main problems, i had a ton of fun later on but early it was like 2 new monsters until like mr 4

Zamtrios would have been good for M2 level quests

The issue comes from having the old structure of village/hug, since worldborne had both fused basically they could make it so you only fought new mond

As lackluster as the earlier ranks are for new and returning monsters, I think it's a good problem to have. The early game would've been better with more novelty, but there's only so much time they could spend making monsters, and the really cool and interesting ones just happen to be weighted towards later ranks because you have more to play with on the expectation that the player is stronger and more used to the game. I'd rather see something like an astalos come back than a seltas, to be honest, even if it does make early MR a bit dull. Besides that, they mitigated that issue of not having novelty pretty well in sunbreak with the switch skill swap, although maybe they should've given us one silkbind for each weapon at the start, and the other two switch skills at MR 4, or maybe spread them out so you also get an unlock at MR 2. Missed opportunity there to make the "same monsters" problem feel less impactful, rather than giving us a very strong new feature and then one new move that isn't a silkbind for each weapon. If you're just sticking to one weapon in the story, that's the only new move you'll use until MR 4 so they should've made that move more impactful (besides longsword where sacred sheathe is more interesting than both of the new silkbinds. That might actually be why, if they wanted it to be consistent with each weapon getting the non-silkbind move out of the new ones to start with)

A reinclusion of Frostfang Barioth would've been nice.

I also think the beginning of the sunbreak was a bit slow but MR4+ blew me away

I mean they have alot of title updates which are going to bring harder and tougher monsters

I fully agree, I found the first few ranks a slog to get through. It does pick up a lot later on but the start of master rank feels rather boring

Bob. B - Blood O - Orange B - Bishatin

If u watched the trailer you wouldve known all the monsters in the game. I actually loved that they showed the new monsters pretty late. Edit: I did the whole half of G rank in high rank armor.

This didn't bother me much but what did bother me was no subspecies for Tetra or Akno...

Sunnreak only misses the parents of someosnter plus a great boggi

My only real problem with sunbreak is anomaly quests

Honestly i was fine with not having much new monsters early. Kinda built anticipation going forward in sunbreak.

Yeah, not having new monsters at the start can be dissapointing, but thats just a little of what the expansion has to offer. Plus everyone has new moves and feel like fresh fights

Yeah the begining of Sunbreak is very lacking wich ive been saying from the start but everyone just dismised me!

I do think for being such a good expansion to the base game, sun break is pretty disappointing in terms of actual new monsters. Yes the ones we have are good like melzeno, lunagron and the final boss are indeed amazing monsters, the problem is it feels like their could be so much more! For a monster hunter game inspired by Westen mythology it feels rather bear bones, I kind of wish we had a zombie crab monster or a grim reaper dragon to keep things fresh. I know the sub-species are also new monsters but I kind of feel like they are just element and Colour switches over new move sets and animation, the exceptions are BOB and pyra in my opinion.

Tbh i think its a good thing since in the endgame of iceborne most of the subspecies like acidic glavenus were really not a threat and so i never fought

Hello

I feel the reason the new roster is pretty weak early game is cuz first rise suffered from too much early monsters and second he had to spend so much time fixing rise he couldn’t add as many new monsters as he wanted

1:11 Basically me every quest of MH Rise and yes i count Sunbreak too. Rise/Sunbreak is overall the easiest MH game. Don't lie

W

Its kinda like this the whole expansion sadly... you get some good new monsters but then right after have to fight base game monsters again. Also giving them 1 new move isn't enough to make me want to fight them again, especially when I spent 40 dollars for NEW CONTENT. 💀 Also they shown every monster in the trailers again...

I think compared to world, rise didn’t have much of a budget so they couldn’t have as many monster

Nah it's fine. I'd rather have the new monster be in the later stages of the game rather than them being front loaded and forgotten. Would it have been nice to get more new monsters? Yes but it's perfectly fine as is. They give you plenty to play with in the Switch Skills and to get used to the new timings of the monsters.

Hard disagree, Its better to show of old monsters with new moves than to just reskin a monster, pop it into a new locale and call it a day (early game iceborne subspecies are a VERY good example)
