I just recently purchased MH4U and I'm loving it! It's been about 5 years or so since I touched a title from the MH series.

Now there's a new game?! I'm so hyped for this!

From the trailer alone, here are my thoughts on it:

- Noticeably the flashy moves reminiscent of the MHFO move sets. This has received some negative criticism, but change is always welcome for me, and I personally think they're nice looking and would give a nice change of pace. But I do understand where the negative criticism would come from.

- The villages! The new one looks fantastic, but seeing Pokke and Yukomo all over agin sent chills down my spine and a feeling of nostalgia. All I can think of is a cross (see what they did there) story between these villages; quite similar to MH4U but with the old villages.

- New and old faces for the areas. My first game was MHF2 and I was of course sent to the Snowy Mountains on my first hunt. Seeing that place again was very nice. Yukomo was my third after MHFU and was the last series I played and it's always nice to see them back!

- I'm very looking forward to the story of this game. MH4U having an actual storyline was a good change compared to previous titles, and seeing as the old villages returning, I'm hoping there will be a good story to accompany it.

- The new monsters. From what I saw, there's a new Kangaroo-esque monster and those Sauropod-like monsters. One MH YouTuber said the new area was like a Pre-Historic area with Dinosaur-esqu monsters, like the Carnotaur Brute wyvern in the trailer. The Mammoth monster as well. The beetle wyvern looked like that once concept art from a while bakc. Same with Bubbles.

Overall, I'm am very excited for this game, and I hope for an eventual Western release.
