I believe it's the full game for a limited time, but I'm downloading it now so we'll see!
It is the game up to a certain point. Once you reach the 3 star quests (or Rank 4), your progress will freeze from there. But anything you do in the game up to that point can transfer to the main game should you buy it. This includes whatever optional quests you do or playing with other players in the lower ranks.
Q: How far can I progress in the trial version?
A: You can play up to the completion of the "Flying Sparks: Tobi-Kadachi" (Hunter Rank 4, ★3) assignment.

It's the full game up to a certain point in the story. So you can play with other people who have the full game and your progress carries over should you purchase the full game.
I would like to see how the story is moving about and how it is being told. Is that point in the game enough for me to be able to get kind of a good idea?
You shouldn't really get the game if story is important for you, the story is the least important aspect of the game, it's just a way to introduce you to new monsters.
Plenty of unskippable cutscenes for you to sit through should cover the time provided.
Thanks for the advice but I'm just curious and if at some point I can get it for 10-20 bucks I might just play it for the story and for being introduced to new monsters. After all, importance lies in the eye of beholder :)
Can you help me with my question btw?
It's not time though, but progress. That's why I'm asking. If I had to rush I wouldn't even consider bothering
That's complicated to answer. The Monster Hunter series has never been one for story in all honesty, and while this is probably as close to an actual plot they've had as opposed to you being told what's happening, it still isn't much. Still, I suppose by that point, you would have a good understanding of what's going on plot wise (although I will say to not raise your expectations too high if it feels like there's little to none to work with).
story story story goddammit
lol, thanks anyway. I played the beta so I know how it plays ;-)

Thanks! I don't expect too much - I'm just curious :)
As I've already said, the game isn't really about the story, it's basically "this monster is giving us problems, go fuck it up", it's free so no harm in trying it.
Where the hell is this on the Xbox store? I hate navigating that pos.
Edit: found it. You need to press the field with the three vertical buttons and choose "trial"

Erm, kinda? You'll more or less see what direction the story is going but I would say it stop short of the first climax lol.
Still, it's pretty sizable. That's like 1/4 of the main campaign.
Thank you! Still haven't gotten to it haha. At least it's on the drive. I really should check it out today
