A doubt about Solo/Co-Op

[N7-Ninjutsu]

I have one doubt. When I played Monster Hunter World with a friend that we play some games together for over 15 years, we get frustrated because the game obligated us to finish each quest SOLO that we want to play as a co-op, only after I finish a quest solo, I was able to play with my friend on co-op mode that quest, if this game has this broke mechanic I will not buy this game. Can you tell me if I will be able to play with a friend in co-op mode without the need to finish each quest solo?

Village quests and guild quests are 2 completely separate progressions, you can just do guild stuff from get go, no more "host needs to see the cutscene" crap World had and when a cutscene plays, it plays for both players at the same time.

It is handled FAR better than World was, just like Katitoff says. Though, you still will have to solo some things. Given that you get two "buddies" now to help out, though, even that's not really a problem unless you're really uncomfortable playing solo.

Are you high OP? You never had to finish a quest solo. Only watch the cutscene. If you and your friend all finished the quests solo before doing it again in MP then i must say that y'all are a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
The game literally says in the middle of the screen "SOS CAN NOW BE USED".

Ty everyone for the answers.
Just to understand, what kind of stuff do I still want to do solo that is impossible to invite a friend?

I'm not sure there's any. Village quests are solo only, but they're more of an extended tutorial / intro. I can't think of anything that's locked behind the village quests that you can't unlock via hub quests.
Village does require about half the number of key quests compared to the hub to rank up. It's not a big deal - the ranks are separate and you still have to do the ranks at the hub eventually anyway - but it does mean you can reach certain maps and monsters that little bit quicker if you go via the Village quests rather than the Hub, which can be useful if there's particular (LR) gear you're after.

In the past armor coloring was behind village quests, or some colors, and if you did all quests... Or most? you got the rainbow paint. Probably the same.

Ty everyone for the answers, when they fix the save problem I will buy the game.
