coming back over a year later to say i apologize for dismissing your recommendation and that I was wrong, I finally sat down to play some MH1JP and you were right that the differences are beyond worth visiting that version specifically for, and that I appreciate your inputAdam wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 5:10 amThe US version and JP version actually have a few notable difference's worth the play IMO with the benefit of online play.Violet wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 10:35 pmI only own the US version of MH1, and am not really wanting to buy and import a game I already own the localized version of hehe ^.^Adam wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2023 6:01 am I don't mean to be rude but MHG is a bad spot to start for gen 1, I recommend to start with MH1JP and transfer your character over to MHG after you get to high rank. Tho MH1 and MHG don't have the playerbase they had 2 weeks ago due the MHDos servers being released to the public, so there might not be many players for a while.
