It took 8 Years For Monster Hunter Fans to Find This

With the recent ability to return to the lost city of Loc Lac, I decided to make a little video on it. I go over what it is, its significance, and how you can access it yourself.

Big thanks again to Sepalani and InusualZ for making this happen.
Special thanks to SuperRad for helping with the script.

Let me know if you guys would like more of these essay type videos. Long live MonHun!

It's really heartwarming to read everyone's experience with this game in the comments, I'm very happy to share this with all of you.

remember the good Ol days where the literal WALL was the Barroth urgent in loc lac city...and everyone tries their best to help each other clear their urgents.... it was really a time I still remember and the dreaded Barroth urgent quest....

[sybdoodles]

there are literal tears in my eyes, I wasn't aware of just how much I've missed Loc Lac
Tri was the only game I actively played with people online, met a bunch of sweet people I've sadly lost contact with since. seeing that it's being revived makes me feel all kinds of warm

[TeamDarkside]

How wholesome this video is... Fantastic script and choice of footage! Thank you for that! Not gonna lie it brought up a tear

MHTri really was an amazing experience of a game. Online play, underwater, the feel of Moga Woods, and the clash with Ceadeus.
To this day it still stands as my favorite Monster Hunter.

This brought me right back to middle school! Very nostalgic and well narrated. Good video!

I am playing Mh Series since 2004 but Tri is something special to me i cant explain.

[TheMiketroid]

Game preservation? That’s the good shit right there

[TheHorseWhoKnows]

Man. It’s so unreal seeing those final moments. I lived the final moments with a best friend of mine. We’ve been friends for nearly 10 years now. This is so nostalgic. We got one final clear on alatreon as a send off together. Brought a tear to my eye

This is what I love about Monster Hunter as a series, it actually feels like each game in the series has its own unique feel from each other, even from their expansions. I look forward to experiencing this game eventually.

[Mestrinox]

Blessed be the Youtube algorithm. I have a huge feeling of nostalgia and emptyness in my heart. Tri was not my first MH but was my first online experience of all. I had such a great time playing it. In this game i really feared the Barroth and although now it feels like a tutorial monster i have great respect for this animal thanks to Tri. Thanks for the video

[mhbarney]

I am literally crying right now. Everything u just sad is true for me as well.

- First MH i played
- Best online modus a MH Game has ever had
- made so many Friends
- the Part of my soul being destroyed when the servers shot down

...I will 100 % try to make this work.

MH Tri will always be special to me. Loc Lac was my first “online” experience in video games and I’ll never forget it or the way it made me feel.

This game made a Monster Hunter fan for life out of me. I've played every entry since, and even went back and played many of the previous titles, but there will *Never* be another Monster Hunter experience quite like Tri. At least not for me.

I remember when I first picked up Tri. I had never even heard of Monster Hunter, but looking at it it seemed like a neat action RPG. Still, being on the Wii I had no idea how insanely enthralling the world, combat, and even just crafting gear would be. I played through the ENTIRE game on Wiimote and Nunchuck using Switch Axe before finally getting a pro controller and somehow still had a blast with every second.

Most of all I was blown away that such a thriving, robust online community was present *on a Nintendo Wii tittle.* Plugging in a keyboard and getting to chat with players online? again- *ON THE FREAKING NINTENDO WII* was just such a wild thing to think was real.

Also, I will fight anyone who tries to tell me Tri didn't have one of the BEST marketing campaigns of the day. If you've never seen any of the Ironbeard ads... You should really remedy that.

[RiftFishing]

My friends who never played Tri think I'm crazy when I say I prefer Tri to 3U, but this video expresses perfectly why Tri will always have a special place in my heart. The pacing, the atmosphere, the sprawling online city and the feeling of logging into Loc Lac while a sandstorm was ongoing was something that rivals some of my favorite moments in my gaming history.

I love that this is now possible again. You can be sure that as soon as multiplayer is available, I'll be frantically grabbing my friends to join the hunt and experience a piece of lost history again.

[jonahrodrigues]

Tri was my intro to the series as well. Thank you for this fantastic video.

[annoyinprophet]

We used to call the Worldeater Jho Jhozilla. Man tri was a good game. Thank you for giving us this sweet trip down memory lane:)

[goddamnarshia]

I wish devs started preserving their online game somehow, leaving options to experience events and versions again. This game took 8 years to be dug out of time, and games like destiny 1 are truly lost to time with no way experiencing parts of them

[kingofflames]

We really haven't had any BIG cities present in the games for quite some time, have we? Loc Lac was the last one. 4th Gen Dondurma doesn't count. The amount of the city accessable in 4U is more akin to a village.

[bryceconner]

I never played Tri. For me, my first big Monster Hunter experience was Freedom Unite. I put literally thousands upon thousands of hours into it. My friends data corrupted, so I deleted an 8000 hour file and started new with him. He and I played so much together. It was a big foundation of my teen years. He and I were best friends and it was in part to MHFU. Even though I never played Tri, I love what seeing passion and fun experiences other people have just for the franchise as a whole.

You're clearly passionate about tri and it was really interesting to see some of the unique things I missed out on. Thanks for the video. (:
