It should be harder, but by how much is debatable. In tri, going from low to high rank was not too bad as the equipment was acceptable. However, in unite it was much harder. Going from high to G was even worse, as pretty much every monster had a move that would 1 hit KO you and many had new moves. I'm hoping for that difficulty.

At least in tri things seem hard without being cheap like many in unite (shogun - intant clothsline charge. Rathalos - insta charge. Khezu - yup, everything. Emerald congalala - ditto. etc, etc, etc.) And let us not forget the yian garuga.
