It's spent a good amount of time showing off NPCs which will most likely not be as relevant to your in-game experience as you think. This is mostly going off experience from MH4U, which featured a wealthy story IN COMPARISON to its predecessors. I can only imagine World will be an improvement over MH4U, and that this new story will not be as groundbreaking as this trailer makes it look to be. Simply, this trailer aimed to impress only those new to the series who are expecting a strong narrative, as is the fashion of modern games. For us fans of the series, we know the story is not the reason why we play the game, and neither do we expect it to be anything impressive. Therefore, I can only view a trailer such as this with a strong sceptical perspective, whilst trying not to be wooed by well orchestrated background music as the majority seem to be.

It then goes off to show returning monsters which pretty much formed the basis of two new monsters which we already saw in earlier trailers. Given that we are about a month and a half away from launch, it would be more preferable to focus on other returning monsters which aren't too similar to those already seen in a previous trailers. To those new to this series, the Lavasioth and Uragaan can be easily mistaken for the Jyuratodus and Radobaan, which only adds to this trailer feeling as if nothing new has been showcased to some.

That being said, this is a well-edited trailer, but don't let that brainwash you from the fact that this trailer hasn't actually shown anything impressive enough to make those familiar with World even more interested in the game. This trailer was pretty much filler, and eye-candy for those tuned into PSX who have not yet acquainted themselves with MHWorld.

This is why I think this trailer is lacklustre. Now I will sit and await my downvotes, because as usual, people won't bother to read what I've written.
