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).

Hmm. I thought it's pretty clear that X resembles Xenoblade and Xenogears most of all. The similarties to Monster Hunter strike me as superficial at best.
