I've been a Monster Hunter fan since it first launched on PS2. Rise felt like the quality of the series was starting to slide. I have an extreme distaste for everything Wilds has become. With that said, that Omega trailer is some of the coolest MH combat I have probably seen since some of the more bombastic Monster Hunter Frontier releases - they did an exceptional job translating FFXIV combat into the Monster Hunter framework, I think even moreso than the Behemoth that they had on World.

I really liked the way that FFXIV handled Rathalos in Stormblood, if you know a Rathalos fight like the back of your hand, they actually translated it so perfectly to FFXIV's combat system that I can run the Duty for it on its hardest setting with my eyes closed - the muscle memory translates very well. Hopefully they can manage that with the new Duty coming, even if I'm not familiar with the monster they plan to bring in from Wilds.
