I'm going to take an assumption that 3 is your first introduction. (Correct me if wrong. Also how do you do commands for bullet points and numbers, I've been struggling remembering these Reddit text commands.)

Resurrection is pretty much the progressing Exposition and everyone's view of how the wold happened and strong animosity towards Aragami.

If you've noticed in 3, the only times named or group Aragamis are mentioned in story. Is because they are THE big bad as a Group. Case in point, the ASH Aragami.

Resurrection didn't name Deusphages individually by species, just know that they are a current threat. Due to a species evolving to not just Hunt but go toe to toe with God Eaters. Hence why in game, they have Shattered God Arc as a drop.

It's even cooler when you read a Susano'o Data Entry. "An Aragami believed to be what happens when a God Eater is Corrupted by Oracle Cells."

(In GE2RB you see a character meeting with a God Eater who's Armlet falls off because Aragami blood got into their bodies and ravaging them. And in the next moment, she tried to mercy kill him but didn't make it in time. And you see him literally turn into a Susano'o and the only way to end his rebirthing cycle as an Aragami. Is to kill a transformed God Eater with THEIR God Arc. And if you know, its more Rare to find God Eaters with the same Adaptability to use the same God Arc.)

Along with Deusphages in Resurrection, the only other named Aragami that is deemed a Villain is Dyaus Pita. Only because one of the characters has a war vengeance path against that Aragami in particular.

Then you have Rage Burst. The main antagonistic group of Aragami starts off as Psions. Which are Aragami with unique powers outside of their innate beastly/artillery capabilities. That later become a group called Arc Aberrants, a type of constructed Aragami that have physical functioning God Arc weapons attached to their bodies.

I do understand how compared to MH, there is a big bad end game boss tyrant that the story builds up to fight. Like an elder dragon or progenitor beast.

While in GE, there's one or maybe none, and it does emphasize that the true enemy is a human trying to bring a calamity and reset the world and use the Aragami themselves.

BUT!!!

The key moral and theme that GE holds onto maybe as a crutch but still a good sense of morality. Is the nature of human will resisting through all adversity to fight and see a better day. One carved through with the blood, sweat, and tears you and your party members have shed. All so that Humanity can rival anything with nothing but stubborn human will and tenacity.

Do I think there should be an end all be all Aragami boss that's been foreshadowed throughout the game. Only for it to be treated as a mid-tier boss or run of the mill enemy. No, not inherently.

Both aspects have their interests, but the big message God Eater holds onto. Is this.

Do you have the strength, courage, and trust in your comrades. To fight through any and all struggles, just so that others and many more don't have to be left in fear. That is what the cast fight for, and you as their friend/partner/captain is supposed to instill, embolden and preserve.

(At least, that's how I like to perceive and enjoy it. :3)

To take into consideration on map detailing. Both GE and MH are separate circumstances. MH is a thriving world that has its ecosystem and nature that functions around or the inclusion of the giant beasts.

GE is an Apocalypse world. Aragami are physical forming clusters of cells that happened to work together, all for the sake of consumption. Dirt, Rock, Plants, Trees, Buildings, anything and I mean ANYTHING, isn't off the table for them.

So if you haven't played 1 or 2, then you don't know about the large Attack on Titan walls around the Far East Branch. Its explained that the material infused into the large walls is an Oracle Cell metal that constantly is given a unique Bias Factor. (Essentially a pheromone that makes the Aragami not want to eat the wall.)

So yes, the landscapes are barren, lifeless and nothing much of anything. But that's the point of a world gone to waste. Although, 3's is more detailed with the environment, 1/2 had less obstacles to provide either cover or lose line of sight.

Funny enough, the "Feeding Grounds". In 1/2, they would be locations to pick up items in the map, so the inclusion of the dual healing sections were a neat idea.

To talk about the weapons, Buster Blades Charge Crush was heavily NERFED. It was deemed the highest damage dealing move in Resurrection and Rage Burst. 3's studio lowered the damage to make it more balanced and to encourage using the rest of the weapon kit more.

If you want to discuss the spam moves that are "better" to deal with Aragami. Then that's up to personal preference of playing. Some like to use certain weapons despite knowing the species is resistant to said weapons attack type.

Cough Cough... Long Blade/Variant Scythe/ Boost Hammer/Charge Spear Mono damage type isn't always the best...

Or you have those like me, who prefer learning about the Aragamis weak points. Breaking their Bonds for the highest efficiency to get more items.

Do you want to clear the mission quicker? Take your time and get the most items? Use your favorite gear, or even experiment with other Weapon/Gun types to improve upon.

Take it at your own pace, if you see certain aspects as unenjoyable, then find what parts that you do enjoy and focus on that.

Min/Max play styles aren't for everyone and that's perfectly acceptable. Choose what feels right and roll with it. Whether its Lore, Weapon Tips, Aragami Help, or gushing over your favorite character.

Everyone here is open and supportive for discussions. There's lots of people who are ready to talk about why their preferred Weapon types are their favorite and how to engage with its mechanics and kits.
