Is this game mission-based?

[Blackened Halo]

I read that this game is mission based. If confirmed, it would be a very crucial info for me as I was hoping this game to be like Final Fantasy 9 when it comes to a story progression.

Yes it is mission based, structured similar to Monster Hunter

It's like Monster Hunter if you have played that.

You're in a hub/village, and from there you start different missions. The missions take place in smaller levels, so it's not open world with tons of exploration either. There is some degree of exploration for the story levels, but not much.

Main Story Quests.

You have a storyline to play through before you get to the real meat of the game which focuses on Monster Hunter style missions.

Too bad no New Game+ with enemy level scaling. :(

Def needs an open world zone or use the existing and put interesting/repeatable things to do in them. Something other than sit in town and quest board.

Actually... that's what Ultimate difficulty is. It lvls all the enemy to endgame. You can only do it after you unlock it, at which point you are basically doing New Game+ run.

but the story segments have also mission-like structure? Or is it is a seamless story progression without any need to activate story quests in a menu?
