I'm starting to get a bit worried at the lack of new monster reveals recently. Don't get me wrong I'm all for bringing back the older monsters who didn't make it into 4g, but having played this series since the first game it can become somewhat dull after a while.

So far we have 5, and its inevitable that the end game monster will also be entirely new, but comparing those numbers to the amount of older monsters it just seems like new monster encounters will be few and far between.

I might just be getting worked up over nothing, but I'm sure that during the leadup to Monster Hunter 4, nearly all of the new roster was revealed by this point, being just over a month before release. I get that a lot of effort has been put elsewhere, but at the end of the day this is a game about hunting kickass monsters, and having to hunt the exact same ones again with barely any new ones just seems kind of dissapointing, and adding a couple of new moves to the old ones isn't going to improve that.
