Speaking of the world, MAN it's SUUUPER pretty. The environments are far more detailed than in World, and vastly more so than Rise. The shifts in environmental effects(heavy rain v.s. clear skies) and environmental effects(lightning, wind, water) are absolute top-class. - ThreadSky

As for gameplay mechanics, I LOVE how the Longsword is changed. In World, it just felt like a Helmbreaker Simulator, in Rise it felt like a Counter Simulator, and now in Wild it feels like a fast, flexible weapon that combines speed with burst windows. We're getting the best of both worlds here.

The way that hunting is set up in Wild is also far more engaging. In Wild, investigations are launched and saved purely by what is *currently* in the area. Keeping track of what you want, and what is spawning, gives a big boon to farming for mats.

This is balanced by the fact that every saved investigation has a limit on how many times you can complete the quest. Saving investigations with rare or specific drops is always a good idea for future-proofing your grinds(or saving them for friends).

The camp mechanic is also actually quite interesting. It's a little more intuitive to look for potential safe-spots on the map, monsters being able to destroy certain camps is interesting, and the animations involved in the camp are super good and fun to watch.

The new monsters are all also very good. I feel like they have very fair patterns, but require pretty good knowledge to not get steamrolled on. The environmental factors that you can use in combat have also increased, rewarding the player for having good knowledge/awareness of the area they're in.

The gear, new and returning, are also super cool, and I'm loving the various fits in the game. Getting layered armor unlocked in High Rank is also a very, very nice change. A shame the same isn't available for layered weapons, but what can you do.
