The first trailer showed off the battle system.

The second trailer showed off some environments and teased the story.

Neither one showed off any Monster Hunter-esque mechanics. Unless you think that all JRPGs in which players battle monsters are, in fact, Monster Hunter clones.

Close ;o.  More or less if the game has a hub(Normally one) and requires you to go out and kill monsters with not much else.

The trailers don't explicitly define a hub area. There's a city, but we don't know what role it plays. You're making an assumption.

Without making any assumptions, this is what we know: massive world, mechs, giant monsters, and Xenoblade-like gameplay.

I am making assumptions and if you bothered to read what I initially wrote I said we don't know enough because not a lot has been released.  Just going by the trailer I saw, it looks like a Monster Hunter like game.  When/If they release a cutscene trailer then we can put my guesses to rest.

Shadow of the Colossus is sort of like a Monster Hunter Clone, except it's only boss battles with nothing in between  (To other guy).
