and yet the story is still better than FF XV lmao

MH4U story > FF XV+FFXIII

Well, I obviously disagree, but I am more interested in hearing what elements and structure make the MH4U story better than those two games combined. 

The story is simple and yet effective because everything is connected, Hunter, monster and the world and everything is being told on screen + awesome boss battle unlike FF XV = awesome epic shit similar to Kingdom and berserk series.

FF XV = something big happen offscreen and you need to watch a movie to fully grasp what's happening to the kingdom and everything are disjointed  = glorified live action naruto = storytelling is presented awfully with basic elementary school cutscene direction, it's just like watching a telenovela from latin america.

FF XIII = who let their kid to write this bullshit story?

Yep!

Eh, the story is simple but far from being effective; as the plot only serves as a guidance background for every player in the Monster Hunter games. They're never the inmediate focus, and as far as I know MH4's "story village" consists of basically trying to fix your ship while at the same time defeat the monster that makes all the other monsters go crazy. There's no urgent or pressing matter here, but a background to give you full capability on monster-killing, and the story inputs are given to you through here and there quests that don't fill in the gaps of anything in the middle.

Having the fact that Monster Hunter does not focus on its story at all, and serves as a mere premise for the player to kill monsters in a consistent basis, it's kind of weird that you'd draw two games that emphasize story in them as inmediate comparison. I could agree with the storytelling methods in XV are a mess, but the game capitalizes a sense of plot progression throughout it. Monsters have a specific behaviour and nature added to them that's revealed (and supposedly gives a sense of payoff, other than a a reason to fight them); things happening off-screen is also a trait of other Final Fantasy games, like XII, on which the political plots happened while the player was busy doing certain things. Whether XV grasped that organic "the world goes on" vibe is up to everyone, I guess.

And I can't infer anything with your XIII comment. What's so bullshit about XIII story? The Fal'Cie arc? The themes of Free Will? The Focus? Ragnarok? The background behind Cocoon and Pulse? The past of every character? Your comment does not give much to go on there, but I can safely say the XIII plot tries far more things than any story in any Monster Hunter game.

FF 13 story = suck so badly but everything is being told cohesively unlike FF XV, the protagonist lightning is probably the most bland protag ever on FF series and the whole cast especially snow aka emo boy are shittiest party ever assembled in the history of FF.

rough diamond is still a diamond

a beautful looking turd is still a turd = ff 13

Well, again, you're not telling me much here. You say the game story is cohesive, but you still say it sucks and don't outline anything from it. Lightning is bland, so I agree with that; but saying Snow is an emo boy is totally contradictory, considering Snow doesn't behave like an emo at all (heck he's the voice of the "hero" and the one that's always wanting to save the world and be in uplifting spirits), and the way Snow dresses should give zero indication of him being emo whatsoever; how's the whole cast the shittiest party ever assembled? What's so bad about the dynamic of six people who want to fight against destiny? How are they any worse than the faceless cast of FF1, or the terribly personality-lacking FF3 characters in the remake?

Nobody wants to call out this bullshit?

Sad attempt here. Just sad.

Don't get why it's sad or bullshit. The same way destiny didn't have much going for it in terms of story I don't think monster hunter did either. I even bought Soul Sacrifice and it was lacking in the story department.
