Description "Tamed Tigrex? Sure why not. Tigrex Mount? Not blinking likely."



So after Monster Hunter: Stories was announced, I got lots of ideas. I'd been saying for a looong time that having monster mounts and hunting on the back of your wyvern'y companion would be absolutely awesome, and now it seems that might just become reality. To an extent anyway - we've only got a little bit of info to go off of so far but I'z hopeful to see Great Jaggi mount <3

Anyway, it spawned a lot of ideas I wanted to draw - and one of them was a few riders and their mounts running along, with the Tigrex one just blazing ahead of everyone else, followed behind by a Rathian, Kut-ku, and Gendrome.... And then waaaaaaay in the back was another monster struggling to keep up

I never did get to that, but I did pick the initial sketch of this up and finished it. Somewhat. Actually, halfway through the first lining stage I was absolutely furious. Truth be told thoiugh, this is the best human I've ever drawn heh. You can tell it's a human right?


So yeah. After talking with a few friends on Skype I changed the racing idea around to "Bad Monster Mount ideas", and two of 'em were Zamitros and Lagiacrus Β 

Also this is a good reason why it's not a good idea to feed a Tigrex foods heavy in sugar. They're energetic enough as it is - to put it lightly - without sugar helping that along!

Which is why Tiggy would make an awwwful mount x)Β 

Once he starts he's not stopping!

You say awful, I say lancer's dream. He would be right up there with the Blos family! It's hard to stop a train after all, especially a train with fangs!

If you can manage to stay on his/her back without falling off and don't mind the occasional crashing into things, Tiggy could be a very good mount Β

We built a specialized saddle, give the striped wyvern some extra claws for traction, and teach him to jump off walls!


BEST. MOUNT. EVER.

Welp, just got confirmation that Tiggy is indeed a potential companion and mount in the game! Β As is Khezu of all things. xD

Β 

I wonder if the monster's subspecie will also come into play, or only their base forms. Β Molten Tiggy looks pretty cool :>Β 
Though I still find the standard orange-and-yellow Tiggy is my fav of the Tigrex lineage <3

Yeah, normal Tiggy is the most memorable for me (the first time you fight him in 4U he goes frenzy). And if there is, imagine what riding a Pink Rathian would be like.

"AAAAH NO FLORA STOP FLIPPING!"

Now I'm thinking about what happens when your Monstie gets enraged while you're still riding it XD

Tiggy's adorable, and yet awesome and devestating at the same time. I don't know why I find him so cute but I do ;v;

Hehe, I imagine these hazards won't come into play while in combat, but it'd make for interesting fanart x3
Like Tiggy going enraged while you're riding it and he just barrels off to attack the hostile monster and completely forgets you're on his back? XD

Maybe it's his special? He just charges with reckless abandon while you hold on for dear life. Ah, now I want to see what kind of mishaps every monster could cause! Khezu's thunder shield, for example.

Of course, with all the humorous interactions, there's also going to be quite a few badass ones too. Imagine jumping around with a Nerscylla...or a ramming wyvernfire on a Seltas Queen's back...I seriously can't wait for this game to come out! So many possibilities!

hehe xD
And Kut-ku getting distracted in battle to content itself with the eating of Konchu. That was a silly and fun co-op attack there ^^



Yessss. And I hope in the future they expand on this game too, Β MH Stories 2! Β x3
I could see it being like the Monsters spin-off is to DragonQuest or Mystery Dungeon is to Pokemon - it's a solid side-series that is developed well and has a lot of replay value, but plays differently to the main series.

Yeah, turning MH into an RPG really gives it a lot more potential. Not that the mainline games are bad, quite the opposite, but in the new format there's more opportunities to flesh out the lore of the world, something I love. It's really satisfying to be able to go through the world and delve into it far enough where it feels almost as if it's alive...so cool!

SylxeriaGuardian In reply to AnAbnormalTigrex [2015-10-18 09:39:56 +0000 UTC]

Well they're already turning it into a TV series - supposedly with the plans to bring this spin-off franchise (Stories the Game included??) to the West Β - Β so I'd say they've got some big plans for MH Stories beyond it being a simple spin-off title that'd see a game or two then be forgotten about. Β I know some people who view spin-off titles in a very negative light, no matter what the franchise. Which is unfortunate because spin-offs are a great opportunity to expand the franchise and universe in new ways that the mainstream series couldn't and try out new genres of gameplay that wouldn't work with the normal series.

Hark, what is that strange thing holding onto the Tigrex's back? I cannot tell!

It's obvious he's a human, and he's totally well drawn. You deserve more confidence in your art 'cause this is awesome :3

I dunno, I can't tell either! Β 


Hehe, well for someone totally out of his element - so to speak - I suppose it does look fairly good ^^
Definitely room for improvement, that'll come in time though I hope <3

I'm really hoping we get the game outside of Japan, it looks interesting! A tigrex would be crazy to try to ride, I can't imagine it would care too much about crashing into things. I want to see zinogre mounts myself, even if they could make bad mounts when they charge up. Riding thunder puppy is all fun and games until he howls and you get to ride high voltage instead. Cooked hunters are not happy hunters.
