According to this, all the hard work put into raising HR will all be for nothing as it'll be reset to HR 9 and have to be re-obtained through the only and hardest way. Guess then there's no point in trying to raise HR anymore in MHX and MHGen (there is very likely going to be a western release) as it'll be reverted to a single digit number.
