There are a few things that are more certain than others. Weapon and armor models for example are based off of what the main monster is. Siliconera did a brief overview of the game here, but it doesn't really delve into any details. Hell, there's even a big 259 page guide JUST for the Unknown Forest (which I do own) because it's such a big deal.
