@Cotton: What are you talking about? Don't you know MH4 will have online play even on 3ds! So, even if you have no mh-playing friends (same as me, btw), you will still be able to play online!

Anyway, I meant to first complete the whole story (except maybe the last ultra hard quest such as mark of a hero in ultimate). Then I'll go online for the maximum hunt. If I ever get bored of online or want a bigger challenge, maybe I'll go solo a bit.
