I was looking through the web and found out there's plenty of differences between the japanese release of Monster Hunter 1 and the USA/EU release, mainly that there was missing content. I was wondering:
Is it worth to play the Japanese release? Or the is the USA/EU release simply superior because of its added content?
Does the missing content in MH1JP appear in MHG?
Can I transfer my USA/EU savefile to monster Hunter G?
In case the USA/EU is actually superior, is one recommended above the other? (E.g.: monster hunter old school servers only work for one of the two)
MH1NA/EU did add some additional village quests and the dual blades on top of changing many other parts of the game. Is it superior no. It is a different experience than MH1JP and MHG, but has a major downside for who knows how long, MH1NA/EU cannot access online making over half of the game inaccessible.
Most of the village quests added in MH1NA/EU appear in MHG with the hidden powder stone quest and the HR dual rath quests not being included (dual rath quest is replaced with the Azure and Pink quest).
The save transfer is incompatible with MH1NA/EU saves as there are a lot of mechanical differences between 1JP and 1NA/EU such as box space changes and equipment changes.
As stated above it's not superior just a different experience, and again MH1NA/EU cannot connect to the private server and play online as they used different networking compared to the Japanese games.
Thus, if I wish to play online on the MH Oldschoo private servers I have to use the japanese release right? Just to be sure, this is all kinda new for me. Also thank you for the reply.

You have to play the Japanese version in order to play online.
