I mean yeah it's a cool design by itself, just inferior to the OG IMO. But whatever, the fight is fun.

Tempered Ruiner GL mats and Tempered Stygian GL mats I believe.
You can get both by getting Tundra to 7 (though you have a chance of getting Tempered Ruiner from any level 7 region)
Monster Hunter 'lore experts': "Xeno'jiiva is definitely an adult. I know because I read a fan translation of an art book."
Monster Hunter developers: *Add an actual adult Xeno'jiiva to the game*
Saffi'Jiiva almost feels like a confirmation of that theory, since the final form is about as typical Elder Dragon as you can get. But it could also just be that it's a generic elder dragon with a fucking weird life cycle.

My personal theory since I first beat World has been that Xeno is just assimilating the traits of the creatures it feeds on. In this case, that means Elder Dragons. So as it grows, it becomes more and more like a typical Elder Dragon. Hence why a deliberately "alien" creature still has the typical Elder Dragon build of four legs, two wings, a tail, a horned head, etc.

I caught the tundra Moly so that's probably all of them. It's cool that they add more music for the music player but they really need to add the character creation theme in there.
Tbh the design is growing on me.
Something about having a generic Western dragon design in a very over-the-top world of MH is kinda refreshing. I do wish it kept some of the more alieny aspect of BoiJiiva (like the multiple eye).
Fatalis - SafiJiiva Turf War when.
Safi follows the same design philosophy that Fatalis does.
That being, in a game where almost every monster is heavily influenced by any number of real living or extinct animals, Capcom threw in an actual honest to God bog-standard fantasy dragon. The simplicity of the appearance is what makes it stand out.
And that's kinda why I love it.

I fucking love this game.
Styg Zinogre slams comboing into psycho crusher. Adult Xeno nuke timed with the music.
It's phenomenal.

Styg Zin is cool af. That combo attack beginning with Nergigante-like roar....
My favorite part of Jeff nuke is how the sound "mute" for a moment before the explosion.
Xeno'jiiva's alien appearance was both its strength and its weakness. Its alien appearance makes it look like it doesn't belong in the world of Monster Hunter. This was intentional and it worked great for its role as World's final boss. It came from nowhere, was hugely powerful and only an infant to boot. But now we have moved on from World to Iceborne and the novelty has worn off. I think it's great they took this opportunity to develop it in a much more traditional, grounded direction. This gives it a lasting place in this generation's legacy, and saves it from being forever seen as "that weird alien boss from World".
Yeah because every single new monster they added for Iceborne is a dragon.
We even got another non dragon monster in the same update as Safi.
Same shit, armor spheres and jewels. I think the little thing talking about getting different rewards was referring to the actual Safi quest when it comes out.

The new defender weapons are really good almost too good for low and high rank. When you play the story from the beginning there is hardly an alternative to the defender weapons and subsequent upgrades. I have beaten the story of the base game and even for me the defender weapons were a real hefty upgrade. The cost of these weapons is ridiculously low. Just one not very rare part of a story related monster. Together with the defender armors you just rush through low and high rank. I mean I get it. Capcom wants everybody to experience their new shiny things locked in iceborne.
Thk fking gog Jeff weapon from siege reward have unique design instead of another Kulve situation.
Congrats! and I got my mind's eye few days ago after almost two weaks of grinding.
Thank you so much Lavasioth.
Wait what ? I double checked and the longsword, bowgun and greatsword have unique jeff design instead of recolored iron weapon pasted with random monster part ?
So from Dev Diary 4.5, I have an issue: if one is able to fully customize the weapons from the siege, doesn't that completely nullify the entire point of the Guiding Lands?
I guess the only thing left there will be obtaining Spiritvein Gems and the ores/bones? This seems to really alter the endgame in a negative way. Maybe I'm not understanding something though.

Ahh I thought you meant all the weapon exactly like kulve weapons and I missed them in the video.
You nearly gave me heart attack lol.
I can't believe they solved the biggest issue with Kulve: that awful feeling of looking at your rewards and saying "I don't play any of these weapons"
I hope the boosts you get from the Safi armor are good (it's all leaked online, look it up if you so choose). The skills are so-so but the set bonus sounds interesting for certain weapons. But again, it's all a numbers game.

Sweet all my weapons are obsolete now. thanks Mature version of Xeno Jiiva! at least i can use this awesome Stygian Longsword for a week
OK, so how are we expecting Set Bonus upgrades to work?
Obviously everyone's first though is "You'll get the full skill, like with Luna and Kjarr" but that just means that every single weapon will end up with Master's Touch (if melee) or True Razor Sharp/Spare Shot (if ranged or Gun Lance). The balance will end up being even more fucked than what we had with Drachen. And God forbid you can get Master's Touch and True Crit Element on a single weapon, even if the base element isn't that high (that's what elemental damage upgrades are for).
This sounds like a nightmare.

The Safi'jiiva dev diary actually got me a bit hyped about the siege. The unique weapon designs and upgrade method certainly helps.
I'm going to hold back judgement on the new siege weapons until we know exactly how they all work, but yeah, if you put enough effort into them they'll probably be the best weapons in the game. But honestly that's fine with me because what we're playing right now is the final end game of Monster Hunter World anyway. We'll get other new updates throughout 2020 but we're pretty much at the peak of the game and being able to make the most powerful load outs possible makes sense.
You can't get two set bonuses on the same weapon from what I hear. So you get TCE on the weapon and Master's touch by teostra armor if you want both.
Double set bonus is broken enough even if you have to use armor for one of them. I'm guessing the GS meta is just going to be Master's Touch + Frost Craft now, which sounds properly stupid.
Looking over the weapons, the elemental numbers don't look too hot, so maybe DBs and Bow won't even end up using these, and we don't even know how it'll handle things like CB and SA phial types.
I really hope there will be an elementless hammer. From the looks of it, though, probably not.
Teostra's was very briefly shown in the diary as a 4 star rarity skill.
Fake edit: it's at 6:23.
There will be all the status hammers, but not a hammer without either element or status if I am understanding correctly.
If the siege weapons weren't top tier I'm sure we'd all be complaining about what's the point so I'm fine with it. That being said can anyone who watched the diary give any deets on the bowguns if any were shown?
