I got excited, sad, hyped and disappointed all in one video.

Lao was the original penultimate boss of the original game... but ... no revamp?!! Expected from Generations but god damn it!!! Vastly missed opportunity.

I'd honestly rather have Shen Gaoren honstly as Shen Gaoren actually tried to kill you sometimes in MHFU (If you fought him in the Fortress).

I'm still hoping for Gogmazios, Dalamadur, Jhen or Dah'ren Mohran, Ceadeus, Fatalis, Shen as stated earlier, alongside Nerscylla, Hypnocatrice, Gobul, King Shakalaka, Vespoid Queen, Yama Tsukami, Qurupeco, Great Jaggi/Wroggi/Baggi, Gigginox and heck.. even a few Frontier monsters.

Asking for too much? Yes... but gosh.. all monsters I just listed would have been more interesting to bring back than Lao (Yes that includes Vespoid Queen and King Shakalaka).

3 months left till release so there's still hope, maybe even some returning areas like the Old Swamp, Great Forest, Old Jungle, Old Volcano, Heaven's Mount, Sunken Hollow and maybe even Everwood.... actually these are the only areas being left out besides the few singular monster areas and arena's... most definitely not gonna bring them all but I'll be surprised and joyful if they somehow do it.

If they happen to reveal a few frontier monsters being ported over, I'm gonna leap out of the space and time continuum in bursts of joy and happiness (especially if it's within the range of Espinas, Akura Vashimu, Baruragaru, Berukyurosu, Pariapuria, The Orugaron's or Odibatorasu).

Note: I'm now genuinely starting to wonder what the online final boss of XX is going to be like... assuming it's going to be a brand new original monster which by the fluffy strokable beard of White Fatalis it better be if the 4th gen train is gonna stop here.
