@MHCaboose thats why im really hoping MHXX feels like a freedom unite sequel. Whether or not its likely, FU contained everything the previous games had before it. MHXX seems to be pushing the nostalgia factor to the max. But, in all honesty, the only way to do that is if it includes every monster from the previous games. We actually arent that far of, there are about 20 mainline monsters left. However, the subs missing and the remaining variants and rare species pushes that number closer to 70. Right now XX is pushing 120 monsters, but by god if the devs could actually do it, id never play another game.

Welp, they surprised MH4 players with subs and almosr doubled the monster count with it. Therefore its not too farfetched to hope for them until someone plays HR village/ G Rank and says otherwise.
