1) I'd suspect either it's to show it in a future trailer, or unlike previous titles, it could in fact be one of the "end game" monsters, and that short clip is all we'll get to see.

2) No clue, weapon TYPES however will contain all previous weapon types + the two Dark Jinouga mentioned (personally like the possibilities that new axe has over a staff+ bug).

3) More new item/old items? If you mean things to take on quests, it's likely there will be some new items, but nothing I can recall seeing yet.

4) No word yet, I'd prefer it or Rajang to come back myself though.

8) I'd imagine it'd be like running, you're not going to be able to do it, but it hasn't been discussed.

9) My money is on brad new ones, I would like a few of the old ones to return, but it's doubtful.
