MH Wilds “Hunter, the Guild authorizes” is so damn cool Spoiler

The handler in wilds feels so much less like some sidekick and more of a HANDLER. Like, we’re the guild’s blade and she is the hand that guides us. The guild has given her FULL AUTONOMY to act on their behalf, and she alone can decide what we are hunting. The lines also came at really good times during cutscenes and overall just fed the vibes lol. Especially the final fight of low rank? SHIVERS

I agree that it needed one more narrative beat, but all of Nata's hate came from thinking his people were killed by Arkveld. Once he sees that, while there were some casualties, his uncle and the village itself is still there, it's way easier to stop hating the monster.

My only problem with the story is that they should've made Nata even younger in the very first cutscene. A 6 year old not knowing about their people's culture is one thing, an 11 year old is a bit harder to believe.

iirc bettwen him getting lost in desert and the expedition getting send to the east, multiple years passed

its only mentioned 1-2x at the beginning, so ye he was even younger when he fleed

I think it was mentioned that 2 years passed. so he would have been extremely juvenile when he thought he lost everything

I managed to not catch that. There was a quest where Alma said something along the lines of Nata changing in the years since she met him, and I was just like "Wait, years? I thought it was a few months at most"

At least he was about to be told the day their village was attacked. 11-13 is a pretty standard coming of age time.

He was 8-9 when he escaped. It's mentioned being at least two years since they found him.
