You Can Also Change the Appearance of the Seikret and Base Camp
As the story progresses, you'll be able to customize the color and decorations of your Seikret.
You'll also be able to change the appearance and decorations of the new simple camp feature, and even the background music played within the base camp.

The "Hunter Profile" is equivalent to the traditional Guild Card.
New features have been added to allow for more customization, enabling you to set up your unique profile.
"Photo Mode" to Capture Moments of the Hunt
In Photo Mode, you can adjust settings such as camera field of view and depth of field.
The ability to pause the game only while playing solo online is a feature that was not available in "Monster Hunter: World."
This is good news even for hunters who don't use photo mode!
