At New York Comic-Con last week, Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura revealed a new collaboration with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The Kingdom Hearts III director is making original male and female weapons along with armor and original Felyne equipment.

Nomura spoke a bit about his involvement with Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate with Famitsu this week. “I’ve publicly stated that I love the Monster Hunter series, especially the multi-player,” he said. “So when I received the offer, I was honestly very happy.”

Nomura’s designs are specifically made for the west. They’re not available in the Japanese version of the game, which launched last week.

Update: Clarification about Nomura’s involvement. An image has now been released, and his weapons/armor aren’t directly tied to Final Fantasy. Still neat in any case!



Capcom hasn’t stopped announcing crossovers for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, believe it or not. Two new ones were announced during a panel at New York Comic-Con today.

First, players will be able to use Mega Man as a Palico. He uses a Rush Hammer and makes the classic Mega Man death sound when he retreats. A special Mega Man Guild Card is planned as well.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate also features a Tetsuya Nomura Collection of weapons and armor. The gear is inspired by Final Fantasy summons, and can be used with the Final Fantasy-inspired Palico.
