1.) The anatomy difference between the raths and the island chain thing.

2.) Yes.

3.) Yes. I want more of the new world instead of the MH team trying to put everything into the old world.

4.) Probably, if it is supposedly not completly explored.

5.) Blangonga.

6.) It's a tie between Flooded Forest and the Sandy Plains. Both have a cool design overall and beatiful scenery.

7.) Alatreon. After that Lagiacrus.

8.) The next 3rd gen monster that appears in the top places on the next popularity poll.

9.) Underwater. And the fact it was something different from the previous gens. It did the best for the MH franchise in terms of reworking the mechanics of the combat and such. It really is a shame how the MH team seems to be just throwing away the new wolrd concept in favor of just returning to 2nd gen areas and stuff every new monster in them.

10.) Uh, no.

11.) Probably Kushala Daora, given that they are good flyers and that they are probably capable of flying for a long time in order to reach new areas. I wouldn't be surprised if they were able to fly over the ocean to the islands.

12.) Not really? If the new world is mostly islands, then Dire Miralis is already a huge threat if it can really sink an island and kill the oceans ecosystem like the lore says. Then we still have Alatreon which can bring destruction just by standing in one place for a long enough time. And as much as I despise Amatsu, the sheer fact it is always followed by a storm makes it a danger for air travel. So even though the concentration of Elder Dragons is less than the old world, it is not much safer.

13.) With enough weapons like a dragonator, a water ship is probably the best option. Most monster should be able to be repelled by the weapons that could attack you on the water.
