Monster Hunter Freedom 2 is not an RPG (Don't assume that because it's asian!).
It's more like an action strategy game. It requires quick reactions, extreme planning, and amazing amounts of skill. There is no level system (unless you count stronger armor/weaponry + upgrades). At the very beginning, the game may seem easy, but after the first five quests, the difficulty rises 90 degrees, which could be your deciding factor of whether you regret buying the game or not. But don't give up too easy, that's why many people regret buying it. They expect pressing one button over again = win.
This game does last a VERY long time. I was playing the first Freedom installment for about a year, logging a huge chunk of hours into 4 different characters (3 on one memory card, one on another). I have just as much time logged into the second one also (can you say, addicted?). All the weapon types are great, and sooner or later you'll find yourself mastering all of them.
If you really desire a leveling system, I would recommend you still purchase this (and getting friends into the game really beefs up the experience). You can think of collecting Armor Spheres (various items that upgrade armor stats) for hard work as leveling up in skill and equipment.
I'd have so much more to say about this game (I have a right too! 1000+ hours d*****!), but I can't think of much else.
Sorry for the randomness of typing.
One last note, if you need any help with anything, just ask. I've done literally everything.
