Jotoyo published an FAQ on Wednesday addressing user comparisons between its upcoming Monster Fantasy and Capcom's Monster Hunter series. The developer acknowledged that Monster Hunter was a source of inspiration and that the core team are fans, but argued that the game's full experience-combining hunting, village building, slow life, and interaction with around 100 villagers-will feel distinct once players try it.
