It's not like they just made Laciacrus Rare and that was the end of that. Like Crimson Fatalis is at least acceptable because there were no other suitable monsters for end-game in MHF1. With MH3G, they made an all-new powerhouse of an elder dragon that's exclusive to one quest in an exclusive area (Top-to-bottom final boss material), and yet instead of making that monster the final boss, they make a black Laciacrus that creates whirlwinds, and throws him in an area we've already been to.

This would be like having MHF1 include Akantor or Yama Tsukami (A powerful, unique, never-before-seen monster) and then making Crimson Fatalis the last boss still. It just makes zero sense why they did it. They still could have had Lagi Rare as a high-ranking top-tier subspecies, in the way that Silver Rathalos is, but to have him be the final boss of the game when you've got a MUCH more suitable candidate in the form of Guran feels like a complete waste.
