What are the chances of getting those Elder Dragon crowns. I must've hunted Vaal Hazak 50 times and only recently got it. But I did get them both from Tempered versions which I did later on.
It's all complete RNG. I had to kill Vaal 87 times to get both of it's crowns, but it took me less than 10 for Teostra. The others were around the 15-35 range.
There's also videos on YT that shows you how to measure using your character. I've been using them myself to get an idea of what I'm looking for since some of them are hard to tell.
Rabi-Ribi. When I opened the box, besides Rabi-Ribi, there was a free copy of 
God Eater 2, CDN: 4 Goddesses Online, and Warriors: All-Stars in it. 
At least Warriors and 4 Goddesses have separate trophy lists.
Thanks, but for some reason this doesn't work for Rathalos, which doesn't spawn in the beginning it seems. Any way to trigger him to spawn? I've walked around the entire map but can't find it anywhere.It's all complete RNG. I had to kill Vaal 87 times to get both of it's crowns, but it took me less than 10 for Teostra.

As for the events, same thing. You are just at the mercy of RNG despite the increased chances. It's still certainly a lot better than investigations. You can save yourself more time by knowing what you need and then return from quest after slaying/capturing the monster.
Ex) If you just need Great Girros large, just go straight for it. If it looks huge then attack and if not then abandon quest > return to camp to restart the quest. Once you think it's a large Girros then kill it and then return from quest to see if it was a crown. No need to fight all the others.
There can only be three monsters on the map at a time. So if Rathalos isn't there, you need to kill/capture a random monster to free up a slot until it shows up.
Just a fair bit of warning, the series is very old school in a lot of ways. So while the production values may be good, there are plenty of people who can't get into it because it can be slow or grindy at times, depending on how you tend to go through games.
It feels better when you unlock more combos and stuff in the menus. It's hard to do that though until you have a ton of cash.
My recommendations:
The only one that really fits what you want is the Disgaea series. It involves a ton of grinding though.
Jeanne d'arc is so good.
Thanks. Some of those look like Total War games. Those are some of my favorite games on PC. How well do they play on console since seem like it might be harder to micromanage the battlefield?
Thanks. I don't mind PSP games or classics as long as I can play them on the VITA or console. Some of those look really good.
Shadow Tactics is fine with a controller since the developers made the game with it in mind.
I say the same thing all the time about the Trails series all the time. I tell my friend about it all the time too, but he never gets around to it even though he owns pretty much all the games.
I forgot how far I got in the story, I might've beaten it but yeah I enjoyed it a bit. It was kinda tiring the schools having the same general story, but there were funny bits.
What are your thoughts on Prey? It's near the top of my backlog rn and I want to dive into now that I don't have a high profile game to really occupy my time anymore after platting MHW and GoW. Also forgot I had SK
BS, so I might be up to join you guys in a few matches here and there since I've heard good things about it from BRW.I wouldn't mind tackling it again a little bit since I never got any weapon I really wanted from the event. It will take 2-3 runs to beat if we only have one team going at it. Set it up!
