One thing MH could add in the future (since MH4 is quite obviously the same thing just with a couple new monsters and weapons and such) would be maybe different classes. I realize that sounds so cliche it would never even be considered, but it would make the game slightly more interesting (I say slightly because I really don't know what you guys would think). Think of it like this. Instead of always being the hunter, you could choose to be a... oh, let's say a monster studier or whatever. You would then have the materials to make observations on a monsters basic movements and the way it attacks, which after doing so you could put this knowledge to use by hunting it knowing what it'll do. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word classes. But, it would be like making your hunter notes completely on your own. Instead of just buying the things or using the 'mote the drag it's info into your book, you could actually write down your own notes on the monster. I guess that seems kinda useless, but I think MH started integrating this into the game when they put in those seemingly useless binoculars. Sorry if this doesn't really relate to MH4 in particular.
