This is not news*

Why's that, because they like making money? #monsterhunter

Actually, this makes the 10th MH game. The other 9 are:
1, 1G, 2 on PS2
1, 2, 2G on PSP
1G and 3 on Wii
Frontier on PC. #monsterhunter

I'd probably just count 1-3, this and frontier. #monsterhunter

~dos and portable 2 are almost completely different games though and 2G is just an expanded portable 2 with content from Frontier(prior to 2Gs release anyways).
Really it's just been one game with expansions up until tri~. They changed the villages and kept adding content and weapons, then tri~ comes out as a pseudo-reboot gameplaywise. #monsterhunter

Wait a sec, this almost looks like a cutesy spin off, like the Priney game from Dragon Quest... Is this going to focus around Felynes?
Oh well, NEW MOSTER HUNTER!! #monsterhunter

Not like the freaking story explicitly says it does or anything. #monsterhunter

No other Monster Hunter title has done this... it's pretty easy to jump to this conclusion. #monsterhunter

-Had a title blatantly claiming it involves the Felynes(or Airu)
or
-Been announced as a spin-off starring them
either. But, like, you're acting as if the only ifnormation is a picture. They know the name, which has Airu in it, and the game was announced. This isn't speculation and jumping to conclusions. #monsterhunter

Even on that logical note, you can stop pretending to be high and mighty. Advertisement is about getting your message across in the promotional art.
So, perhaps you could explain why he said to me"There's no way ti could focus on the Felynes.Not like the freaking story explicitly says it does or anything."
He was in the same boat I am, so you can quit your own "assumptions" #monsterhunter

And dont worry, I know a thing or two about advertising, however, it had nothing to do with that, the article stated that there was going to be the game, it didnt need you to say
"this almost looks like a cutesy spin off, like the Priney game from Dragon Quest... Is this going to focus around Felynes?"
However, if the article did change after you'd already posted, fairs fair, and i'm sorry.
But yeah, what whitegamer said, he was being sarcastic, I know it can be hard to pick that kinda thing up from type and on the internet but thats what he was trying to convey. #monsterhunter

Those cats have done more for hunters than any mascot and they will be honored damn it. They deserve the love. They faithfully sit in the kitchen and cook our meals. They tend to our fields and our mines, our fishing decks and mushrooms and bugs. Then they go above and beyond the call of duty for us.
Kushala, Tigrex, Narga be damned. Those cats will fight on for you. #monsterhunter

And then they throw a bomb in your face and blow up your carefully placed barrel bombs and you with them. I give that cat a right kicking with the select button when he does that to me.
I quickly learned to leave the bugger at home or switch to my passive cat on missions where I want to bomb crap. #monsterhunter

@Revenge_of_Nekojin:
I don't use them a lot but I will use them if:
A) I'm trying to break parts.
B) They're in the supplies, because hey why not.
C) If I'm farming a particular monster and want to keep my battle time short. Or if I'm doing a double hunt and I want to take one out a bit quicker.
D) I'm doing a new difficult monster for the first time.
I only really employ D because it makes the first go a lot more forgiving if you just blast off a chunk of its health with bombs. Allows you to learn the fight and still have a good chance of finishing it. #monsterhunter

Also, it's probably a metal junk-globe, with metal junk from the half of the game you spend running around in sterile corridors.

Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew.
Now man's reign is through."
On the bright side, your MH3 account isn't banned anymore.
