1) They look like humans with better tech, thats all. Way better tech. Where'd you think we get our Charge Blades, Switchaxes and all those high-tech goodies like Dragonators and stuff?

2) I grew up with the Tower, so naturally the winner is the Tower BGM. Haven't heard the Sky Corridor one at the moment.

3) Probably? Everwood aside, who knows what leftovers did the ancients leave for us. Other than their

4) One thing about ancient civilization: They sure have a lot of secrets. Too many to the point any one of them could leak out and humanity is f**ked big time. And they even left "the guard dog of Hell", Duremudira to guard the Sky Corridor.

If that doesn't sound suspicious, I don't know what does.

5) Actually... no idea. I see the war as a grey zone. No rights, no wrongs, just bloodshed. Lots of it. You could say humans were mostly to blame for their actions though (creating the E.D.Ws, massacring entire populations of dragons to do so and the like), so I'll go with the dragons.

6) Fatalis Brethen... to be honest, I don't know how to tie them into the war. They could be 1) the Elders of dragonkind that were furious at their kin being slaughtered, or 2) some kind of "living defense system" that were activated because of the war.

7) This would eventually happen somehow. The mess the ancients left behind coming for our bums. Let's hope the creature doesn't prove to be a nightmare or a complete mystery (Gogmazios again; don't forget, nobody knows its ecology, just that it happens to have a proto-Dragonator on its back.)

8) Duremudira (Duremdyra): It could be either an actual Elder (that lived through the war in the Sky Corridor until this day), a bio-weapon (let's face it: no other dragon looks as disturbing as Durem) or an E.D.W (those powers it has... it's disturbing.)

9) A bit more? More like A HUGE LOT MORE.

10) A short movie isn't enough. Weren't they going to make an anime for MH this year, I heard? Why not focus more on the ancients?

11) Read point 1: Where'd you think all our high-tech gear come from? Sure, some of our weapons like the Bone Greatswords and stuff are indeed monster material, or those like the Garuga Engetsu are made using existing weapon designs with improvised materials (Yian Garuga as example) A Gunlance or Charge Blade? You'd need a lot of technology and knowledge to mass-produce safe, usable weapons of those categories.

And don't forget Dragonators. We're talking about those big spiky needles here that need lots of power to grind into monsters. How did we build them with the present-day tech? Special mention goes to that particular Dragonator in the Underwater Ruins, where Ceadeus lives. How the heck is a Dragonator working deep underwater?

12) No idea what to say, but I'd poke them about whatever they did that caused them to be wiped out.

"You know, next time if you wanna make something happen, don't let it come back and whoop your descendents' bums. We've had enough of dealing with whatever shit you all left behind for us to clean up."
