User blog comment:Kogath/Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for the Nintendo 3DS/@comment-23230538-20140911053022

For some reason I can't comment on the previous post thread here, but to continue...

@narga I didn't bring up the Old Areas. And to be quite honest, I never considered them new. I already knew they were available in High Rank in the offline mode and in G-Rank on online. I'm not debating that one bit.

I am debating that they have never added a new area to the main series and make it only G-Rank in online mode. FU added the Great forest and Portable 3rd added the Misty peaks which was transferred to 3U (and none of these games had it be G-Rank only).

If it does end up being G-Rank only in this game, I must say it'll be a first and I'll be a bit disappointed. Ultimately that means less content and missions in online mode, which is the main draw for me this time around as it is the first hand-held MH to have wireless multiplayer featured. The unknown forest missions sound interesting, but I do not like the sound of having to grind them up from 1 to 100.

If I were in charge, I would have made a separate ranking system (similar to the Hunter Rank system) for this feature. You build up rank with the more missions you do in the Forest and every rank you go up the missions become harder.

But those are just my thoughts...
