Why do people mention Monster Hunter?

There were already big, powerful creatures in Xenoblade.

The part in the video where it appears that the player is hunting a monster with their team-mates over wi-fi, maybe?

Moreso how the combat seems to be focused on doing damage to specific body parts. Xenoblade had big monsters, but they only had four hitboxes (since some attacks did differentiate between attacks on a foe's front, back, or side). MH Monsters have always taken different damage to different body parts.

I didn't know that you could choose the body part to atack in Monster Hunter. In my brief experience with Tri, I didn't notice it.

Now I can see the comparision, althought I see it more like an improvement over Xenoblade mechanics rather than being influenced by Monster Hunter.
