Regional Differences

To do: What quests are different?

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

The international versions of the game has a few changes from the Japanese version, namely:

• A new weapon class, Dual Blades, is integrated into the Sword and Shield weapon tree.
• The quest reward screen now has a screen capture of the moment the quest finished, replacing the old brown background.
• Inventory, Equipment, and Item Box menus now have an auto-sort function.
• In some GUI elements, the singular icon for Bowguns was replaced with two icons for Light and Heavy Bowguns.
• Equipped weapons are now shown on the player outside of quests.
• Monsters can use their tail sweep in either direction, instead of only clockwise.

All of these changes carry over into the later releases of G and Portable/Freedom. Additionally, there are quests unique to each version of Monster Hunter, and a number of quests have had their difficulty changed.
