Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate localization team proposed some options that made it into the final game

Over the past few months, it’s been made clear that the localization team behind Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate had a fairly notable impact on the game’s release. Little suggestions were proposed here and there to improve the overall experience.
Capcom detailed some of these in a new localization blog post today. Thanks to suggestions proposed from the overseas side of the company, we get to see things like the “Instant” text speed, the ability to toggle your partner’s Palico conversation on and off during multiplayer, and the option to turn off a portion of the tutorial messages.
Before we start talking about monsters, I want to write about a couple of nifty features that were introduced into the Japanese version of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and of course, are intact for the Western version. The first is an option to change the dialogue text speed from Normal to Instant. If you’ve played a Monster Hunter game before, you know that the text displays one letter at a time and while some players are okay with this, some players are pretty quick readers, so switching the option to Instant will display the dialogue all at once, allowing you to get through the conversation quickly.
