Those reasons wouldn't satisfy me either. Amatsu's weapons are a bit similar to Ceadeus' - in that they both have incredibly high raw with some water element splashed on (pun intended). Still, that's not really a reason to diss Amatsu altogether though - just look at MHFU. You had plenty of options for water or fire or whatever other element weapons, admittedly some were a lot better than others... Not to mention that Amatu's equipment looks vastly different from Ceadeus' equipment... although, I honestly find most of Amatu's stuff oddly designed (still love that long sword though).

Also, why is Tigrex absent? They gave us Nargacuga... that alone made me think he was totally confirmed months ago... but nope... No Tigrex around here... that just seems totally random and lame to me. I can't help but ponder what Awaken would do for his weapons... kinda hard to say since Tigrex never had his own element... maybe paralysis? *shrug*
