>MH Wilds director Yuya Tokuda and executive director Kaname Fujioka actually were drinking with Naoki Yoshida last year at Gamescom, and they wanted Omega because they were exploring a new worldview with an unknown civilization unlike what MH had done before, which Omega would help expand on
>They wanted to replicate that experience from Omega's battles in FFXIV, adjusted to fit with MH Wilds
>Omega took on a chibi form and travelled with Alpha the Chocobo after its fight with the Warrior of Light, so the one appearing in MH Wilds has the same body but a different AI, hence it being called "Omega Planetes"
>The chibi Omega and Alpha the Chocobo will actually join the player as they go up against Omega Planetes, and we'll have to wait and see why this happens in the story
>Naoki Yoshida is overseeing the story of this crossover
>Omega Planetes was designed for both casual and hardcore players in mind

Hype levels, /mhg/?
