What is the appeal of Monster Hunter games? (self.retrogaming)

While researching good PSP games to play I found many posts about Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and other Monster Hunter games. They are beloved by the community but after doing some reading/watching it's not clear to me what the appeal is. I would appreciate if someone could tell what the goal is and what you love about the game. Apparently they are very long games (I think I read 100 hours or something along those lines) which is really great if I can get into a single game for that long. Thank you!

For Monster Hunter specifically, as well as other similar games like God Eater and White Knight Chronicles, the appeal is literally just big number go up from grinding. If you don't like grinding, you probably aren't going to enjoy these kinds of games. They can easily feel very repetitive.
