well, i agree with Revolver: we have very different visions to see progress, it's probably because of the different experiences we had

aaand...i do think saying Miralis was a boring version of the Fatalis is a bit... dunno, i do remember fatalises as the most boring fights i ever did in my whole career as hunter, ''being fighting endlessly ten black fatalises, all of them divided in 4 missions, making 40 quests of 30 minutes just to unlock the red one... and then again, going for the killing spree of the recolor of the exact same monster. the gameplay was the same: hit his legs until he drops with double blades, if it hits you you're dead.''

Boring Dire Miralis? that was one of the most -ok, admitting it was easy as no other things- it had different attacks, different motions, different place (fighting it both underwater)

not to mention the fact that all Miralis moves got stolen by New Crimson Fatalis

instead, the returning of Gen 1 monsters in 3U like Diablos made me feel happy at first (diablos was my GEN 1 favourite monster), but very bored as soon as i was forced to fight them. i hunted them endlessly in every chapter i played, and ugh... i couldn't take it anymore!

i know for sure the old monsters will give me the exact same feelings -except some of them, tigrex was necessary to hunt the black tigrex that i couldn't hunt, daora was always one fun of a fight- but not of course 70% of the entire list. that's so sad.

on the other side, i don't agree for the "new races", i do like to see new, strange way of fighting, like Leviathan's unique crocodile-like fighting, or Brute wyverns going down with the raw violence (i was waiting to hunt a real big-ass dinosaur since the first game) and i am very... "hurt" as a fan, to see only one snake wyvern, only 2 amphibians etc. very small addons.

to end the answer i do agree with Mcrongs in a slighty way, mixing old and new is good, but to me MH4 has like 50% 1-2 gen, 30% 3rd gen and 20% 4th gen.

that's a very annoying balancement for a fan that grew tired of "always the same monsters"

ah, yeah, T.Rex got what i meant, i'm an italian player, and generally italian communities are EXACTLY like that: full of people spitting on progress just because they didn't bring KutKu back on 3. makes me mad. makes me sick. i loved those monsters back when i hunted them, but like in pokémon "for the first time i could walk around without zubats or geodudes" if you get the reference.
