Monster Hunter World is without a doubt the best-selling game of the year so far, with over 8 million people having got it, and that was before the PC version released recently. And Capcom has been doing all they can to ensure that the game is full of content and especially events. Case and point, they’ve officially brought Final Fantasy XIV into the game via a unique crossover that’ll have players becoming characters from that universe and fighting a beast unlike any in their world.
“A powerful beast from another world. Its large horns and muscular frame defy nature,” the announcement about the event previewed. “Hunters will need to utilize some unique strategies to battle it.”
“This update features special collaborative weapons and armor that will transform your hunter to look just like the dragon-slaying warriors from Final Fantasy XIV: Dragoons!”
So as you can see, the game is about to get very Final Fantasy.
The Behemoth is not something to take lightly, and doing so will be a death sentence to all. In fact, the Capcom team decided to give a little advice to all of those who decide to take it on.
“The one final note that applies to every hunter taking on this grand quest is Behemoth’s ultimate move: the Ecliptic Meteor,” Araujo warned. “A direct hit from this game-changing ability will result in an instant faint! It also denies all possible escape routes and items (including the Farcaster); the only way to survive is to hide behind smaller fallen comets the Behemoth has summoned throughout the battle. So always be mindful of your surroundings and keep an eye out for this devastating attack.”
The event starts today in Monster Hunter World, and as such, you’ll want to jump in on it as soon as possible. Are you in?
