Continuing my current trend for #VGMWednesday, I bring you yet another one of my favorite #MonsterHunter tracks: the Zinogre theme!
My first encounter with Zinogre is something I will certainly never forget, if only for the very distinctive #soundtrack. Let me just say: Whoever got the idea to combine an electric guitar with the sound of traditional Japanese instruments is a fucking genius.
Im Geiste meines momentanen Trends gibt's einen weiteren meiner Lieblingstracks aus Monster Hunter an diesem #VGM Wednesday: das Zinogre Theme!
Meine erste Begegnung mit dem Zinogre werde ich auf jeden Fall ewig in Erinnerung behalten, allein schon wegen des sehr markanten Soundtracks. Wenn ich das so sagen darf: Wer auch immer die Idee hatte, eine E-Gitarre mit dem Klang traditioneller japanischer Instrumente zu kombinieren, ist ein verdammtes Genie.
Zinogre is my absolute favourite monster in the franchise. Mostly due to it being, essentially, a monstrous wolf, and that is just cool. Especially in a sea of dragons and dragon adjacent creatures.
Standard or Stygian variant, the Zinogre is just a fantastic design, and it has the bonus of being fun to fight!
@ishambard Zinogre is definitely among my top favorites as well. (It didn't place as #1 in the "most popular monster" Hunter's Choice for nothing. )
Zinogre is my second-favorite monster from the series overall, followed REEEALLY close by Lagiacrus on #3. Though I will forever be a stan of MH's dream couple, Rathalos and Rathian - those two are still my favorites. (Because I'm just that lame. )
Lagiacrus (Leggy Chris as my brother and I call him) is also pretty peak. I am just glad we don't have to fight it underwater now, fighting it on its own turf is pretty miserable.
I saw a tier list on Reddit recently and discussed it with my brother, maybe I need to put together my own one
@ishambard Aww, I kinda fell in love with the underwater battle against Lagi, though - needed a lot of practice until I mastered all the moves, but it was all the more satisfying once I did. (The most annoying thing was that Lagi just wouldn't give me a horn for my armor in MH3U, for whatever reason, despite me always destroying its head. )
