Arts were the largest boost in player power since any game prior (MAYBE 4U mounting came close). Some weapons benefitted IMMENSELY (like LS, SnS).
On a side note, I'd say Generations was the origin point for the counter-heavy playstyle that seems to encompass modern Monster Hunter now in the form of Adept. I remember quite the commotion over that Hunter Style in particular
I'm so sad I never looked into the styles more. None of my friends did. I tried once, don't remember which one, but it greatly altered my movement, so I decided it sucked.
