-There will be 12 weapons in the game. All MHP2G weapons + Slash Axe. Middle bowgun from MH3 won't be included.

- Bowguns will follow MHP2G's system, not MH3's seperate parts system. *in mh3 bowgun has been seperated into 3 parts, stock, barrel, frame. (which u can mix & match to create the rapid fire u wanted + range of fire + the reload speed + the weight + the recoil. if weight increases it might differ your gun into light , medium or heavy bowgun)*

- Infrastructure mode will be the same as MHP2G. DLC quests.

- Evil Jaw (t-rex like monster in MH3) looks like it's confirmed, Lagia and Ancient Dragons aren't sure yet.

- Water battles omitted. * mh3 has watter battle*

- Kanji, Hiragana & Katakana can now be used to name your character (thanks to the Famitsu survey it seems)

- 2 Otomo Ailus can be your companions and there will no longer be Kitchen Ailus.

- Power ups before a mission will be available at the open air hot springs.

- Can't transfer save data from MHP2G but there will be bonuses for having the save data.

- Gathering spots will be fixed unlike MH3 which was random.

- Some monsters has a stamina gauge, just like MH3.

- Big monsters will eat small ones to recover stamina.
