So here it is sort of a good surprise !

For anyone that may interest, here follows an entire article about Monster Hunter Frontier Online beta.

This article is in full Japanese, but you can understand it "well enough" with google translate. It's link was initially shared with me by Schrade Academy, so the credits go to him.
https://www.4gamer.net/games/034/G00345 ... 112235901/


Also, there's an gallery full of screenshots from the Beta.
It's an amazing first look at MH Frontier Early days and it even has some interesting surprises in it :geek:

Check it out: https://www.4gamer.net/shots/mhf/shot01.shtml

Be aware of a little something...
Spoiler
Not much people know that Jumbo was actually accessible at the beginning of Frontier, I don't know when this changed, but at update 3.5 there wasn't any option to hop on it (that I know of)

Look up Flyann's video about it. He only checks out the offline portion of it (for obvious reasons) but it's a neat video and Flyann is a cool guy.

This is basically a photo of a CRT screen haha! They distributed the open beta by sending the physical disc to participants.
I believe it came with some copies of Devil May Cry. Flyann made a video about it and the differences between the main western release.

The thing I'm most curious about is the Japanese beta...
Yeah the PAL release of Devil May Cry came with a MH demo, not sure if it had online though and if the US release also came with it. I was referring to https://archive.org/details/MonsterHunt ... licBeta.7z
Yes, I'm fairly certain that version came with some copies of DMC too, but maybe I'm wrong. I know for certain the US release had online play. There's some other minor localization differences, the most famous one being the not-yet-censored blood resulting in a "Mature" rating here in the US, but there's also Melynx being called "Felyx," and "Fire Herbs" being called "Powdergrass." Likewise, the beta states that Diablos is a subspecies of Monoblos, but the final English release claims the exact opposite.

Recently I was sent more than 300 images and videos from someone who played in original servers back in the day (both beta and release), I should share them some day...
