I knew nothing about this game until about 3 or 4 months ago.  I am looking for a good RPG game for the Wii and this game does look interesting.  However, $20 for 3 months a little much.  My favorite RPG is Diablo II LoD, but I never bought World of Warcraft due to the $15/month fee.  This game is better than WoW, but it is still not pleasant.  It is only needed for online play, but I think online is essential for all FPS and RPGs since the SNES.  I am surprised Capcom does not include a 12 month subscription price for around $50.  I am not sure if I still want such an expensive game.

Some of the recent videos I've seen online and ads/interviews I've read in magazines were beginning to sway me towards purchasing my first MH game either tomorrow or soon after. But, the pay-to-play system and prices have really soured my opinion on the game.

So, to answer your question: yes.
