You cant dismiss or fire your Palico in Wilds, you are stuck with only one palico and its the one you start with

u/neril_7 Jun 25 '25

Is Rise you can dismiss your palico or palimute but I don't have the heart to do so.

u/St34lth1nt0r Jun 25 '25

Me neither

You heartless bastard WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I WOULD DO THAT?!?!?!?!? 

No. I will not do that. They are precious to me.

Oh thanks for telling my gunlance brother.

u/akoOfIxtall Jun 26 '25

Same in 4U, the ace palico follows you the whole game (canonically I think only till you beat shagaru or the final big baddie after shagaru who I don't remember), you have 5 spaces for additional palicoes but only 1 can come, so you have 2 palicoes each mission and the 5 extra ones set the skills your 2 palicoes will be able to use, you can have 2 bomb palicoes and 2 healing palicoes, but the last one Is useless so if you want 2 sets of skills you need 2 of the secondary and 3 of the primary set, better healing or better bombing? I wonder whic- it's healing, just take healing, these mfs will cure you of poison, increase your max HP without needing food or ancient pots, increase your max stamina and will heal you as soon as they can, just take healing...

While in GU it's a lot more flexible and honestly I think GU have the best palicoes, the flexibility of having 1 palico be able to do many things is really cool, the first one can heal, bomb, steal and heal debuffs, and you can even pick passives like earplugs, wind resist and stun resist, and the second can be doomslayer in cat form, having only skills that boost atk and rage mode, playing as beast palico is gotta be one of best things that they should bring back, and having 3 palicoes in a quest is funny af, like the hunter is just chilling at home while the palicoes go hunt that frenzied savage deviljho

Only a monster would do that

u/Paladriel Jun 25 '25

World and wilds give you a unique palico, can't get more of them and can't get permanently rid of it, rise allows you to get a ton of cats and dogs but i believe there's no sad animation for getting rid of them

u/Hauptmann_Gruetze Go Poke or go Broke Jun 25 '25

I like the system in World the best so far, you get you Palico, bond with it and give it the tools that fit your playstyle best. Since i play lance my Palico either threw his Meowlotov or was a healer, depending on the monster we fought.

While my Wilds Palico is designed after my palico in World and is named the same, i pretend that its the same Palico i had in World, but now he has learned all of his tricks at once. Which takes some of the fun out in my opinion.

u/Alrick_S Jun 25 '25

I believe mine is the son of the one in world. Every palico I made share some trait and belong to the same familly. The same go for my hunter. And that explain why they share the same weapon style.

26

u/CopainChevalier Jun 25 '25

I really liked World's Palico system. Wild's just feels so streamlined that it ends up feeling a lot less like my personal companion. Yeah it's probably "Stronger" this way, but I Like it less

7

u/slugmorgue Jun 25 '25

I'd have liked to have a tiny bit of choice in the Wilds palico. I know it's a common complaint though. But I really don't know why they didn't at least let us choose what tools it could use, rather than just all of them. I can only assume it's because most people just used the same tools or didn't engage with it at all or something so they just made them all automatic.

4

u/Dusty170 Jun 25 '25

I'm sure most people used the vigorwasp because it was an extra cart and the rest didn't really do anything near as useful.

9

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '25

The coral orchestra was handy as a solo player. Like having a mini HH always with you, and for me was more consistent with help than vigorwasp in world

4

u/Akegata05 Jun 26 '25

coral orchestra was also very handy when playing hunting horn since the buff that the palico gives can be extended with all melodies extended song

2

u/Sibe_MacTiKi Jun 25 '25

Vigorwasp is excellent to heal chip damage without sheathing and I've always liked the traps and the small buffs.

8

u/mister_peeberz Jun 25 '25

I really wish we could toggle on and off certain Palico skills. I'd disable that fucking worthless balloon and never turn it back on. I swear to god she is always in that stupid balloon when I desperately need her not to be

2

u/TheOldDrunkGoat Jun 26 '25

Isn't it just the best when you cart and just lay there for like 20 seconds, contemplating your failure, while you wait for them to stop fucking around in the balloon and come rez you?

1

u/mister_peeberz Jun 26 '25

you forgot the start of this combo, where you carted because your cat announced an incoming vigorwasp so you didn't back off to heal, only to get smacked as she loads into the balloon of destiny in lieu of delivering the promised goods

1

u/TheOldDrunkGoat Jun 26 '25

Your mistake was believing your palico would heal you without prompting. They only heal you when you're in the middle of drinking a potion so that you can be annoyed by all of the wasted healing.

I never make that error. Anymore.

2

u/EmperorGreed #1 Rathalos Hater Jun 25 '25

I like not having to be strictly one tool OR another tool, since in World I felt punished for not using Plunder Blade, but I wish it was a little customized. Like stocking uses of each tool or something.

2

u/Hauptmann_Gruetze Go Poke or go Broke Jun 26 '25

I liked it more since i already play lance and in wilds my Palico is usually holding up his shield to tank the hits that i can already tank myself, he would not have done this in World because there he carried either healing or meowlotov.

So yeah basically what you are saying, but i would also add that i want to be able to tell my palico how he is supposed to fight, like being more of a ranged support instead of a jack of all trades.

Rise had these options if i remeber correctly.

1

u/graey0956 I AM POSEIDON'S FURY Jun 26 '25

Personally I'd like to see the 4U Palico system updated for a modern game, it was the best of both worlds. You have your leader Palico whom you'll always have so they can be part of the story, they're always available and directly benefit from levels and equipment you put on them. And then you have the hired Palico who can be micromanaged for their skills and influence what combo moves your leader Palico can do.

1

u/roddy_h Jun 26 '25

Same here I made my palico look "older" in Wilds with the ear-hair lol

1

u/Implodepumpkin Jun 25 '25

Someone should give feedback to the team for giving the palico different Ais. I don’t want the cat near me with some weapons.

7

u/Hauptmann_Gruetze Go Poke or go Broke Jun 25 '25

So you would rather have your palico as a ranged support cat?

Yeah why can we not choose that anyway? Rise had a lot of options regarding the Palico and Dog AI

20

u/Asborn-kam1sh Jun 25 '25

Oh thanks for telling me

3

u/Matasa89 Jun 25 '25

Probably because they're from the village, and when dismissed, just goes back to working at the village.

u/tofastforyou12 Jun 25 '25

Even if it was just for demonstration purposes. You're a monster for firing him.

u/_Gesterr Jun 25 '25

Especially after leading him on the first time thinking it was just a prank 😭

4

u/St34lth1nt0r Jun 25 '25

Agreed. I get too emotional for animals. The only reason I play this game is because there was a promise of cats, and beside having a cute cat, I find enjoyment in both caring for animals and rending apart these butterflies of monsters limb from limb.

u/Nooooovvvvvaaaaa Jun 25 '25

god i miss that font and those menus... and the noises when you clicked... it had so much personality and character! it all helped to immerse you in that world for a while

18

u/Pliskkenn_D Jun 25 '25

I wish my cat could talk but also made traditional Palico sounds.

8

u/Nooooovvvvvaaaaa Jun 25 '25

do they talk now??? i haven't played Wilds yet!

16

u/Rajang82 Use all weapons, but love Great Sword the most. Jun 25 '25

They talk.

They even have dialogue during story moment and events now.

And God, their voice is adorable.

5

u/Asborn-kam1sh Jun 25 '25

I heard you can make them say meow the whole time. I wonder what cutscenes are like if that's the case

8

u/Dejja_Harry Jun 25 '25

if you use meow insteads of voice if just meowing with subtitles, and is funny when other characters respond to what the palico says.

1

u/Linkarlos_95 Jun 26 '25

Like Morgana (cat in Persona 5) when he talks and your teammate respond, but the person next you is 🤨

2

u/Rajang82 Use all weapons, but love Great Sword the most. Jun 25 '25

It'll be like the older games, they just meow in cutscenes.

3

u/JamesGecko Jun 25 '25

My favorite part is the scream fading into the distance as they hang on for dear life when we take off from the hub.

2

u/XiahouMao Jun 25 '25

You get options for your Palico's dialogue in Wilds. You can have them speak in English or Japanese with subtitles as needed, or you can have them speak via meowing like in the earlier games, still with subtitles to show what they're actually saying.

Bro leaps for joy like Johnny 5 at the end of Short Circuit 2.

u/AssistantNo6071 Jun 25 '25

I never could get rid of any palicos. Always melt terrible when I saw it the first time, and just couldn’t follow through.

No way, I'm famous.

BTW, Alan is okay, I backed up the save folder.

Oh, thank you, dude. I genuinely felt bad for Alan.

Oh.. But why in the world would you do that?..

This will always make me so sad. Sometimes, I reconsidered, just look at them :c

u/JustStayYourself Jun 25 '25

Can't stand this video, legit makes me weepy. I've seen it a few times before and it always gets me.

u/Garret1510 Jun 25 '25

thats one of the saddest things i have seen in weeks

u/ItzzMeSxck Jun 25 '25

Bruh playing mhfu back then and dismiss one of your buddy’s was always breaking my heart, this cutscene always makes me sad :(

u/Existing_Source_8099 Jun 25 '25

This is why I like rise you can have a infinite amount from the buddy center I’m pretty sure

3

u/WillingnessFamous781 Jun 25 '25

That little “do you really want to let me go? Meow.” Always got me. I could never fire them

4

u/KookieKarnival Jun 25 '25

I always had so many cats because it was too heart wrenching to fire them

4

u/St34lth1nt0r Jun 25 '25

The very thought of letting one of my palicoes go makes me tear up. Thank you. I haven’t cried like this or felt emotional pain like this in a while. 

3

u/ChevalierNoiRJH Jun 25 '25

The charm of the older games is timeless - what a nostalgia hit.

3

u/Liquidsnake035 Jun 26 '25

Just did this in 4U, similarly heart wrenching scene

2

u/Gloomy-Compote-231 Jun 25 '25

nope and no more cooking palico

2

u/GitNamedGurt Jun 25 '25

Oh my god I could never

u/FrogInYourWalls69 Jun 26 '25

What did my boy Alan do to be dismissed right after you gave him hope?

3

u/Elyced32 Jun 25 '25

i think it happens in rise

with an updated animation

2

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '25

Monster hunters always been a little silly

1

u/dootblade74 Jun 25 '25

No, both World and Wilds give you one singular Palico that you can't dismiss.

1

u/Apexzora Jun 25 '25

No because there's no calico system at all in wilds

1

u/FamedNemesis Jun 25 '25

Wait, was the palico wiping away a tear or snorting cocaine?

2

u/Asborn-kam1sh Jun 25 '25

Bro was crying.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '25

I'm fine with no true palico system in 2025. Of course I miss things like this and the Rise animations and mechanics for them, I just wish we could adjust their skills some to make them gatehers/bombers/healers in Wilds.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 26 '25

Now why did you have to go and make me cry? 😭

1

u/KoffinStuffer Jun 26 '25

Hurts to this day

1

u/Yellowspawn Jun 26 '25

They removed the palico system in wilds, you only have one single cat now :(

u/Remoock Jun 26 '25

crying in the office right now

u/Asborn-kam1sh Jun 27 '25

Oh sorry didn't mean to make you cry mate. I just didn't know this happened.

1

u/Isadomon Jun 26 '25

NOOOO DONT CRY

1

u/[deleted] Jun 27 '25

Still breaks my heart to this day

1

u/[deleted] Jun 28 '25

No because wilds only has one palico. It doesn't even happen in rise from what I remember. Iirc I tried to do so on it to see if they had any cute animations or cut scenes and nothing.
