Likewise. I see the great differences from the two stages but for me it's an improvement for the Area to add more terrain and seemingly decrease of space from the wide and flat setting of the original Castle. I still think the two are different parts of the same area, but I'd like to see how this will be explained in the supplementary books and available lore in the game.

It can be the same thing, I mean look at how the Tower has five differing variations (Original, Yama Tsukami Tower, courtyard-like part of the Tower, Tower with Nest Hole, and then the Tower Peak), 2nd Gen Volcano added Frontier's Lavasioth Areas in Unite. Access-wise, in Gen II they can access Gen I Areas. MH3G/3U can access the courtyard-like Tower, so why not have Gen IV revisit Castle Schrade, albeit in a different part of the whole castle? It adds more depth and stuff to it don't you think :D
