Monster Hunter Wilds: Enable a Setting to Hear Palicoes Meow

In Monster Hunter Wilds, one of the first and most crucial decisions you’ll face unfolds within the opening moments: should your Palico chatter away in human language or simply stick to classic cat-like meows? Naturally, the only answer that truly fits is to let your feline sidekick stick with the endearing “meow meow meow.”

In the realm of Monster Hunter Wilds, this is known as Felyne language. The choice you make while crafting your Palico sets the standard for your interaction with every other Palico you’ll encounter, so it’s best to toggle Felyne language on. Curious about how it sounds? Just hover over the voice option and hit the preview button to compare. Trust me, Palicoes blurting out human phrases like “Let’s do this!” just doesn’t sit right.

Traditionally, according to Monster Hunter lore, Palicoes have always been multilingual; however, the limited voice acting in earlier installments spared us from hearing this. Monster Hunter World was a game-changer, propelling the franchise into a new realm of popularity, especially in the West. With Wilds, we dive into an expansive adventure complete with full voice acting. While it’s admirable that the creators have fleshed out Palicoes with this added detail, one can’t help but feel that perhaps it’s a double-edged sword for these furry companions.

So, do yourself a favor and adjust that setting. Let your Palico dish out its thoughts in charming meows as you navigate thrilling monster pursuits. As for what they’re trying to say? That’s what subtitles are for—let them unravel the mystery.
