Biggest thing they dropped IMO was the best thing they added to Tri -- subquests. Why they would cut those I have no idea but I hope they bring 'em back for 3G.
There's also less variety in quests. As far as I can tell, capture quests and repel quests are totally gone? Unless they just don't show up until much later.

Subquests weren't added at Tri, its that its a console thing (well, at least since Dos)
Apparently they're of the opinion you have time for things like subquests and more gathering of basic ingredients in the console versions, and the PSP has the Felyne villages to speed things up.
I did like the subquests though and would like them in the PSP versions as well; I mean, they were optional...
In general I agree about it being too bad there's, at least so far, less variety in the quests, but there's a ton of stuff they improved that I really liked.. That extra 4th page you get for inventory while on quests, and the felyne that brings back stuff from your inventory to the village once per quest were great additions.
Oh interesting - thanks! Kinda curious to go back and see what G and Dos were like...just for the hell of it. I tried the first one back when it hit but I hated it and didn't pick it up again until MHP, so I thought subquests started in Tri.Wehrwolf said:
Agreed on the felyne who carts stuff back for you - I've been using that a lot the past couple of days.
As much as I'm really loving P3, it's making me want a Tri G or MH4 more and more. If Tri only had more content...

Just got to Hunter Rank 3 finally! This is my character, she's got the full Jinouga set plus sword! I got a ton of resources tonight since me and three random players wanted all of us to get to HR3, so we ended up doing tons of quests together. I'll have to get more cash so I can build up another equipment set.:lol
Oh yeah, we found out the hard way that trapping Jinouga in a shock trap is a really bad idea, haha. :lol

How many levels of the same armor type are there?
Just reg and + or a million color variations like in Unite?

Alright, I am about 3 hours in and I finished that first set of 1 star quests and the first Urgent Quest where you kill the blue bear. I think MH finally got it's hooks in me. Even though I can't understand most of it I am having a blast!
@Oichi
Thanks for the link. When they say Iron Ore scraps... You break down an Iron Ore itself?
@darkressurection
Same here... onto that Bullfango quest.

Not played MHTri (but gazillions of hours with MHF2/2G/FU), I'm having trouble with the switch axe - seems clunky or disjointed in its moves - got nearly pasted by that bear. (aoashira?)

When you forge equipment for yourself there are scraps left over sometimes, which you can use for your Felyne equipment. Alternatively, you can also turn regular materials into scraps too, although I don't think it's a good idea unless you have something in excess.
For those who have played both Portable 3 and Tri, how do the minion counts compare? I know Freedom Unite had a much lower minion count then the PS2 games, so does the same hold true this time around? I can't imagine they'd have been able to keep the game looking as close to Tri as it does without sacrificing the enemy count again.

Hit HR3 Last night, created a room, and helped about 6 Japanese get HR3 as well. I am having a lot of luck with world C2 on adhoc party. Seems to be more lower ranked players, and a lot more friendly as well.

There's the manga, but you don't want to read it. Same artist as the one who drew One Piece. I love One Piece, but I associate its art style with humor.
Not to mention, story is kinda silly. Right at the intro, you're informed that your master died due to an accident trying to combine freaking Gunpowder. :lol

I'm up to Hunter Rank 5 now... I barely survived against the Narg last night.:lol I was drinking a potion and it rammed me and killed me, and my partners killed it literally while I was being wheeled back to camp.:lol I had to make a mad dash back to the area just to get my carves, and I got the last one just as the message came up to say the quest was over.:lol
I finished the offline game (well, up to the ending that is; there's more after that), but I'm still barely HR3 online. I like to take my time -- not just doing key quests, using the farm a LOT, etc. I think my game clock is around 50 hours now and I've barely scratched the surface.Tenbatsu said:Am I the slowest MHP3 player? Just cleared Village chief Star 1 quests
AoAshira leggings, hehe time to mix my armors
BTW I have a hunch armor mixing is more emphasized this time because a lot of the early sets are really similar -- moreso than in Tri. I've had a full Jaggi set for almost all of those 50 hours (upgraded up to I think level 4) and I haven't had much of a reason to change yet.

Nah, 25 hours in and I'm now having to fight Jinouga to go to the next line of offline quests. He is the first time I've failed a quest so far, so glad the difficulty is ramping up.
Kind of annoying that I can't really see what I'm carving... : (
What's the urgent to unlock the 4-star elder quests? I'm there.
I've got some sort of green hood for a helmet and the rest is some sort of cheap battle armor I bought from the village. I should switch to something decent, whats the easiest set that can give me evade dist+?

Actually, yes, the data is already on the disc. There are already videos floating around with the Snake armor.

It's a homebrew application I used called "Screenshot Slim". A custom firmware is required, but once installed it's as easy as pressing the note button which then sends the screencaps to your picture folder. I don't have a camera so I find this method much more convenient and of course the output wouldve been better regardless.:lol

I'm glad they took out boring Lao Shan and they still have that Golden Fish thing?!?
Bait? Not really - but surely you'll catch one with it. Try exiting and returning to the area or re-visit other fishing spots.

Just figuring out the fastest way to beat Jhen Mohran(? - the one with the ship) at the elder and prolly farm out some cash in the process. Way fun to play-repeatedly than Lao.
Leg part of his armor is a divine plate, can I get it at the elder or at high rank?

There's all sorts of cool stuff you can do with the right homebrew, I used to output my PSP data to my computer screen, and play with a joypad. I would then be able to record video like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIikeiZC8Ug
Need to reinstall that screenshot plugin again! It's just that there is always a 0.5% chance that it will crash the system..
