Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Database

Welcome to this dedicated repo for a 15 years-old game! If you have played the MH series before, I shall remind you that this is not about MHGU, MHW, MHR, or MH Wild... It's MHFU! (or MHP2G in Japan)

Current valid number of lines in DB: 197916

❓What is this

This is a database repo for game Monster Hunter Freedom Unite by CAPCOM. My current plan is to store data in JSON format. I try to make sure that the data are organized in a way that it is easy to read and understand (at least by someone who has played the game before). Each JSON file will store an array of objects, and each object has the same properties, so a JSON file is really a table.

❓Why am I creating a database for MHFU

First of all, I have played this particular MH version for a long time - probably the longest time I have spent on a game. It all started on the iOS version ($15 USD but definitely worth it). I had continued to play this game at my leisure since then! Until the game was taken down from App Store. It was sad to see it go! However, recently, with PPSSPP being introduced to iOS, I was able to revive this game on my phone! It really brightened my mood and I decided to do something I have been thinking for a long time - to create a DB for this game.

Secondly, it's hard to find accurate information about this game because it's old (and thus less people care) and there isn't a complete decrypted game file available online (to my knowledge). Most information available online were manually gathered by the community, and data obtained in this way might contain errors if not done carefully. Thus we need someone willing to verify and maintain all those data! That's why this repo will be for providing complete, accurate data about MHFU.

🧶Attributions

To gather everything from scratch is extremely time-consuming. That's why I decided to borrow some help from online communities. Yes, I know it is not perfect but I will manually verify them. Also, I cite all sources I used in the Attributions.txt file. Here, I also want to say Thank you🤗 to those selfless authors for making them available!
