Since the keyword for this game is "adventure", I think that they will try to improve this game's history.

One of my ideas consist on that Goa Magara is a terrible menace for the other species because of it's strange virus. The hunter is sent to fight the beast too soon and he/she gets defeated because Goa Magara is too powerful. Then, if people can't fight Goa Magara, they will fight only the virus. So the hunter is sent again to kill a special monster provided by an specific substance that can cure the victims (Conga's gas, lol). When the antidote is ready, a certain village is attacked by the wrath of an Elder Dragon. This monster is being so agressive because it is suffering the virus effects. So the hunter is sent, again, to defeat and capture/calm the Elder Dragon to apply it the antidote without killing it (I know, fight an E.D. when you haven't defeated the (suposedly) flagship is a bit unusual). So now, the villaggers give you a typical mistical/sacred object (a magic crystal or something) in exchange for saving their home. The hunter and the other members of the caravan are surprised and feel interested about the strange item and the legends they heard about it, so they search for information. Then, they learn that this special crystal is provided by a strange power that can help to defeat Goa Magara. One of them does nothing, but 3/7/overused number are powerful enough to fight the beast. The items can only be obtained by killing the specific monster, and each sacred item is different, so the caravan travels to various locations where the specific monsters can be found. Once you have collected the sacred items, the Naguri's (the volcano-looking village) blacksmith forges an special ring (or something) that allows you to fight Goa Magara. Now, you are ready, and you go to hunt it.

I know, it's similar to TLoZelda where you always have to collect 3 special items (keys, minerals, jewels, etc) to fight the evil enemy. But I think that can fit on MH. By the way, the mentioned quests would be the Urgent Quests, because there must be a pack of quest to complete previously.
