-Super H4X HC monsters like HC Rajang -Over-reliance on custom sets -Apocalyptic levels of grinding -A lot of stuff isn't explained very well (Even in Japanese)

Stuff they took from Tri: -Icons appearing over your head (Carving, gathering, etc.) -The monster icons appearing on quest pages -Some of the moves are a little rip-offy (Lance supercharge, level 1 charge hammer moves, etc.) -I find the Highlands to be overly similar to the D. Island (Without the ocean, of course) -Pink Rathian gets the 3rd gen wyvern fire -HC Velocidrome has the 3rd gen tail swipe -Various superficial things
