hi! this game comes out in 8 more days, but i have some questions. first of all this will be the first monster hunter game i ever play. just cuz it looks sweet. so heres my question. do i need to play monster hunter freedom 1 for psp to play MHF2? and wut i mean when i say this is do i need to like play the 1st one on psp to understand wuts going on in the 2nd one? also my second question is MHF1 only in japan? and is MHF2 also going to only be japan? or are they both U.S releases? and thats all my questions for now. thanks for ur replays.

I doubt the 2nd one continues from the first one. You should be able to play it fine.

You dont need MHF1 - MHF2 is basically MHF1 but with 50% more content.

i can't wait for it to come out
i tried mhp2 and it was awesome.
Ragnarok6033 is right, its like a much better monster hunter 1
more weapons, areas, and monsters.

also to finish off your questions:

MHF 1 is both a Japanese and American release for psp.
MH 1 (original) was also a Japanese and American release for ps2.
MHG (Japanese "add-on" of original) was a Japanese only release that added extra features (like dual swords and more missions, etc...) to the original.
MH2 was a Japanese only release for ps2 that is basically like MHF 2, but with a bit more content in some areas (actual online play/monster capture/training/battling).
MHF 2 is both a Japanese and American release for psp.

Also since the monster hunter series doesn't really have a specific story-line except for what you make of it with your character, you don't have to get MHF 1 (assuming you only want the psp versions). I will urge you though to get MHF 1 as it won't hurt to make your character in that game, get him some good weapons/armor/items/money and also build your experience with those monsters before trying to tackle the larger/quicker monsters in MHF 2. Also, you can transfer a few items/money from your old character in MHF 1 to the one you make in MHF 2.
