Despite all the massive improvements in Monster Hunter Wilds<\/a><\/em>, Capcom will still charge you money to edit your character<\/a> or Palico more than once.<\/p>\n

Once you create your character during the intro sequence, you\u2019ll only have one opportunity to fully change them using a free character edit voucher. After that, it\u2019ll cost you at least $6.99<\/a> to even enter the customization menu again \u2014 although that\u2019ll net you three vouchers. Palico edit vouchers<\/a> are the same deal, but you can also buy a three-pack of both for $9.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s currently no way to earn character or Palico edit vouchers by simply playing the game, just as it is in Monster Hunter Rise <\/em>and Monster Hunter World.<\/em> In your tent, you can edit minor aspects of your character without a voucher, like their makeup, facial hair, and clothing, but everything else is locked behind the full customization menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Not being able to repeatedly change your hunter\u2019s features for free hasn\u2019t surprised longtime players<\/a>, but it also hasn\u2019t made them any less frustrated that Capcom still wants to charge for it. Given that Monster Hunter Wilds<\/em> features some of the series\u2019 most stunning outfits<\/a> \u2014 which you can swap between for free \u2014 it\u2019s a bizarre choice.<\/p>\n

Polygon has asked Capcom why it decided to keep character edit vouchers. We\u2019ll update this post when we hear back.<\/p>\n

Over a million people<\/a> were playing Monster Hunter Wilds <\/em>hours after it launched on Steam today, and that\u2019s not counting all the people on consoles. If you\u2019re planning to spend the weekend on the hunt, make sure your character looks exactly the way you want them to early on when you can still restart. Otherwise, you might have to take out the credit card.<\/p>\n
