JUST got MH tri! Any comments for someone who's just about to start playing would be greatly appreciated. 
Right. Welcome aboard! I'd suggest playing Single Player until you repel Lagiacrus or kill him.. this will get you introduced to how many of the bosses act and give you some time to figure out your weapon(s) of choice.
THE FARM IS INVALUABLE! Make sure you upgrade it.
Although the resistances and defense on armor help a LOT early on, you'll be looking to get some skills later on. Armor is most valuable when it grants you a few useful skills. There are lists on the wiki and online that tell you how many points of a skill you need. For instance, +9 Crit Draw does NOTHING FOR YOU! But +10 unlocks the Critical Draw ability, which makes every unsheathe attack a critical. This works for negatives, too... -9 Protection, for example, does not hurt you! Only after you reach -10 do you get Demonic Blessing, which causes you to take more damage.
Do no be afraid to spam potions and even mega potions. These are going to be easily acquired later on.
If you have any other questions feel free to PM me on here.
