1. The nipple/navel thing. Also, that the 3rd gen areas are a series of islands.

2. Of course! If it exists, and we know about it, we should have a map of it.

3. Definitely. I can speak as someone who found underwater combat very annoying, but now that it's gone, I want it back. It just added another level to the game (like mounting). Also, we need it for Ceadeus and Dire Miralis and Lagia-oh wait.

Also, can someone explain to me how MHGen can have the Deserted Isle but doesn't include water combat?

4. I think there are plenty of monsters that we haven't discovered yet, and if the New World is as mysterious as it sounds, it should be full of them.

5. The more monsters the better.

6. I don’t really have a favorite The Great Desert. The idea for a "sea of sand" was brilliant and executed perfectly.

Actually, all the special areas...(Sacred Land, Underwater Ruins, Tainted Sea, Sacred Mountain, Lava Canyon, Polar Field)

7. ALL OF THEM!!! It probably comes down to Alatreon and Brachydios. And Lucent Narga. And Abyssal Lagi. And Dire Miralis. And Amatsumagatsuchi. And Stygian Zin.

8. Conquest War Alatreon.

9. Underwater combat, and the awesome monsters it entailed. It makes no sense that there's clearly plenty of water in the Old World (Great Sea, anyone?) and probably plenty of monsters in that water (like Plesioth) and you CAN'T SWIM. COME ON, CAPCOM.

10. Not really...

11. Any of them conceivably could. If Brachydios can somehow get back to the Old World for 4U, then anything is possible. Also, it seems like when Capcom returns to the New World, they're going to want to bring back some Old-World dragons.

12. If we're counting Frontier as Old World, then definitely yes. If not, then it's pretty evenly matched. Old World has a giant mountain dragon. New World has a giant mountain whale. Old World has a flying wind dragon that controls storms. New World has... a DIFFERENT flying wind dragon that controls storms. Old World has an overpowered (lore-wise) black dragon and a tentacled dragon that uses many different elements. New World has an overpowered "Blazing Black Dragon" that uses many different elements.
