To me, Goa Magara is simply to MH4 what Deviljho has been to MH3 and beyond = the tough "badass" of the line up that you can only get to meet at a certain point of the game (which does not mean we won't get to see Deviljho again!). Its a face you can put on the 4th gen, and eventually, it hypes the game (and is the basis for the "resurrecting virus" that is part of the "plot" -so to speak- in MH4). I think that's the reason why Capcom decided to show it in the very first trailer. Do you guys really think capcom would deliberately throw off the very best/newest content of the game and that's it, no more new features/exciting stuff afterwards? That's a hugh risk that could kill the hype about MH4 and possibly squash many fans expectations. In my opinion the best is yet to come as far as the "elder dragons" topic is concerned. Remember this giant snake at the end of the other trailer. Thus, just like MH3 had the Ceadeus and the Alatreon, I want to hope that there could be another "big dude" showing up in the future (maybe in another trailer?).
