Monster Hunter Wilds director reveals why Palicoes can talk CapcomAfter shocking fans with a trailer featuring a talking Palico, Monster Hunter Wilds\u2019 director has explained why the felines can speak human language this time around. The fan-favorite feline (or Felyne) companions will be capable of doing more than just meowing in the upcoming game, as seen in Monster Hunter Wilds\u2018 latest trailer. In an interview with GamesRadar+, Wilds director Yuya Tokuda explained why Palicoes are suddenly capable of human speech \u2013 and it has to do with how much is going on in the game. As Tokuda explains, there\u2019s so much happening with Wilds\u2019 story and environment \u201cthat I just felt it was needed to give the player another support character in addition to the handler, who we\u2019ve already shown, who\u2019ll be able to verbalize feedback and hints to you in real-time.\u201d According to him, \u201cthe game is so dynamic and intense\u201d thanks to mechanics like changing weather, environmental traps, and lots of monsters threatening players across the world. That makes talking Palicoes a useful tool for providing environmental hints, with Tokuda using the example of a Palico saying \u201c\u2018There\u2019s a storm incoming!\u2019 In case you aren\u2019t currently angled toward the sky to see the storm.\u201d Tokusa sums up the decision by saying, \u201cIt\u2019s really about supporting the player in understanding what\u2019s currently happening and also what\u2019s available to them in the so-called environmental toolset of things that are around.\u201d While a new feature in the mainline games, isn\u2019t the first time Palicoes have been capable of human speech. The Monster Hunter Stories spinoffs have included talking Palicoes, with characters like Navirou, though many players hated hearing the Felynes speak in those games. Fortunately for those who would prefer their Palico stick to meowing, Monster Hunter Wilds will allow players to turn off Palico comments via a setting.
