FF XIV Producer & Director Explains How Monster Hunter Crossover Differs from Other Battles
Final Fantasy XIV producer and director Naoki Yoshida explained to IGN how The Great Hunt, the Rathalos trial in the Monster Hunter: World x Final Fantasy XIV Online crossover, is different from other battles.
“During battle in Final Fantasy XIV, a tank generates and sustains enmity, taking the brunt of enemy attacks, while DPS members deal damage and healers keep the tanks and DPS alive: a very clear role-based system," Yoshida said in a statement to IGN.
"However, in Monster Hunter: World - actually the entire Monster Hunter series - you must pay constant attention to your opponent's attack pattern and how the target is moving. You let the enemy attack first to see where it may be vulnerable. Kind of hard to put into words, but it's a process of learning by doing," he said.

Jon Hamm Says He Would Play Batman If Asked
Jon Hamm, best known for his role as Don Draper from Mad Men, says he would don the black cowl as Batman - under the right circumstances.
In an interview on In Depth With Graham Bensinger (via The Hollywood Reporter), Jon Hamm was asked if he was aware of the rumors and hopes that he would play Batman: he ultimately responded positively to the idea, so long as the script is good.
"It depends on the script, what the story is,” said Hamm. "I am a huge comic book fan, always have been. I've read comic books since I was nine or younger.
