Monster Hunter Wilds' producer says down-bad fans' love for new Smithy Gemma has “gone beyond our expectations.”
Late last month,Monster Hunter Wilds received a more story-focused trailer, teeing up the plot and characters ofCapcom’s new game. Among those newcomers was Gemma the Smithy, andMonster Hunter fans immediately fell head over heels in love with her, so much so that they brute-forced the ‘Dating Sim’ tag onto Wild on Steam for all to see.
“We’ve heard about it in several interviews,” the Monster Hunter series producer continues. “When we designed her, of course, we knew she was gonna be an appealing character, and that was the intention. But it’s honestly gone beyond our expectations in terms of how much love has been poured out for. We definitely see you guys,” Tsujimoto adds.
I don’t know if this will spur on the down-bad Monster Hunter fans out there to create yet more fan art in adoration of Gemma. One plausible fan theory surrounding Gemma is thatshe’s none other than a character from Monster Hunter 4- Little Miss Forge, specifically, with her blonde hair, blue hair tie, and distinctive outfit. She is the spitting image of the older Monster Hunter character.
