Is the world in FFXV smaller than it should be? Or are we scaled

>>379331220
FFXV's world makes no sense for a series of reasons. It's two gigantic cities, one small town and a series of huts for miles and miles and miles.

>>379331220
they're different boats you fucking invalid

Would prefer an empty, boring, with no varying locations and no outstanding landscapes like BotW?

Thing is, in every media other than the game itself, everything is realistically spaced and sized (even in tge game's lore, there's no way that -everyone- that's left in World of Ruin is in Lestallum if it's as small as it's in-game size leads us to believe.
>>379331307
I'm aware, but everything around the boat in the final game is still scaled down (literally, in size, not just fidelity which is to be expected) from every CGI/key art we've seen. Also realistically, Acordo wouldn't be only a few minutes away from Cape Caem by boat.

>>379331472
Sound like XV to me.
One big brown and one big green area with a few gas station or huts, oh and 2-3 caves and "huge cities" with 3 streets

>>379332787
I don't even want it, what it with xv that square just doesn't want to let it die. Not saying it's shit or anything, but still. Why not just release the DLCs and be done instead of having a whole team work in it for another 2-3 years instead of possibly working on a new game and actally putting your new engine to use

>>379331976
don't forget riddled with frustrating invisible walls and hardly any incentive to explore off the the beaten path other than to pick up items you can just buy easilyat a store

>>379331220
World of Final Fantasy, although really chibi and silly looking, is the last true FF game that isn't an MMO since 10. FF15 is just a cluster fuck of good ideas thrown into a blender with no lid.

Because XV, unlike other games in this situation, still has potential, a team that cares, a fanbase that cares and funding from Papa Square. Not often do you find games with all 4.

Why would somebody build a city amidst a giant waterfall. It would be so noisy

>>379333448
If the team would care they would've spent less time and money on promoting food and shit and traveling around the world and more time and actually adding content that matters to the story instead of weird timed events that wasn't even that good and noone will ever be able to play it again. Their priorities have been fucking shit ever since 2014

Yes. And remember there's a whole half of the continent that we don't get to explore.

>>379335016
I was so pissed when i got the airship and the only thing it's good for is a small ugly isalnd with a platforming dungeon. You can tell they just added that shit a few months before release because as always fans screamed for it, seems to be a common thing with this game

It doesn't matter how big it is, what matters is it's filled with literally nothing.
The open world bullshit needs to fucking die ASAP, especially for RPGs.
Open world does nothing but waste development time on making areas as big and empty as possible instead of focusing on quality of life measures or polishing the shit that you'll be using all the time.

Open world only fun when you can run around killing everyone.

How... exactly would that scale compare to, say, North America?

Is Insomnia just really fucking big? Or is Eos much smaller than Earth? Or is Lucis a smaller continent? Or does Eos just have a lot of fucking water and barely any land?

so many questions

Notice that bridge that connects Insomnia to Leide? Apparently it stretches farther than Altissia and is about the diameter of Insomnia.

>Is Insomnia just really fucking big?
yes

>Or is Eos much smaller than Earth?
no

>Or is Lucis a smaller continent?
it's probably 'stralia sized

>Or does Eos just have a lot of fucking water and barely any land?
probably

and things are definitely scaled down in game, there would realistically be about 10x as much empty space and random huts between locations. most open world games are like this.

this thread is so AuTISTIC you fuckers og my GOOOOD it just a VIDEO GAME who the fuck CARES

Uh,

>>379335861
open world can work right, it's just almost never used right.

For instance, Open world is perfect for a game like Mount and Blade or STALKER(Call Of Chernobyl Mod),

(though neither of these games really are good examples of "open world RPG's" if we want to be strict with terminology).. Basically it requires a premise that works with an open world setting (as in gives you a very lose/no real backstory, rather a story that is mostly reliant on being told through the world itself).

Final Fantasy is not the best "franchise" or fanbase with which to do an open world game though, the things "required"(to appease the final-fantasy fanbase) will lead to a lot of contradictions and conflicts with the things that are needed to make a somewhat coherent open world game. This goes from things including stupid armor, stupid haircuts, unclear level of technological sophistication, etc...


to be fair, many western RPG's that attempt to be open world suffer the same fate, Fallout and Skyrim both seem unable to create coherent settings that aren't grating in certain areas.

>>379336460
There could be continents on the other side of the planet, but the game or any supplementary material has no interest in showing it if it does exist.

XV embraces the flat planet theory. EOS exists on a small flat plane and the edges loop back around by magic.

>>379336360
I blame graphic whores who never seem to talk about gameplay mechanics, only how big or small resolution textures are.

>>379338181
How? You're really not told anything about geography of the planet. Where is this said where this is the case, either in lore or supplementary material?

>>379335016
Don't forget the entire Niflheim continent, and places like Tenebrae which were hyped up in trailers but don't ever see anything beyond background window dressing for a rushed second half.
Hell, the mines dungeon you take an elevator into is actually that big tree in a crater you can see in the distance from the train station.

>>379338890
Uh, I mean the mines dungeon with the Malboro and leading blind Ignis around. Forgot that there's other mines dungeons.

>You're really not told anything about geography of the planet.

Since we never hear about other continents or land-masses outside of the 3 continents, and it's more than likely that there are none outside of them, I think it's either a flat planet or very very tiny with 3 small continents.

>>379331472


ahahha.

Yeah. A plain Desert for 15 hours, a plain forest for 10 hours with stone rollercoasters, two towns. Such variety!

The game was massively shrunk.

The capital city is literally like 2 minutes away from where you broke down at the start of the game. It makes no fucking sense.

Once you bring realism into open world games, everything gets fucked to hell. Scale is just one of the bystanders. You can't really complain about these things. You just have to imagine everything vaster than is being projected

I know nobody cares but nothing will beat runescape when it comes to retarded scaling of the world
Each "country" here is supposed to be the size of a continent, yet you can walk across the whole world in 20 minutes.

>>379350070
runescape is also old as fuck
