I plan to play about equally. I'll get far enough offline first to get a somewhat decent set of equipment before I go online for the first time though. Oh, and BellGoRiiing: on the MH4 direct when they were showing how to go online there were three options, which were offline, local multiplayer and online multiplayer, so it seems like everything can be accessed offline (except downloading event quests and such).
