@ZeroI feel like it opens up about the amount of the first game, but not as much as X. You are at the most linear part right now, though. And I was surprised how long they made the opening that linear feel with this one, too. It went on for quite a while before opening up. (I can't remember how long XB1 did that, but I guess it was also a bit before they opened things up there...) Anyway, it will feel like a giant world much more once you leave the initial two places. Or even just are better suited to exploring the second (first main) area. Initially if you leave the beaten path you will get wrecked, but that changes once your team starts to come together. EDIT: Without spoilering things, I would say this one feels less connected as a world than the past two. You do a lot of sailing from one area to another, rather than walking, so that makes it feel like a big world but not ONE big world (landmass) so much as a lot of big areas set adrift to explore. Which is fine, but a little different. |

I'm basically just talking to myself now but whatever.
Finished! My final time was... around 110 hours. Did I really play 35 hours in the last 8 days or so? That doesn't seem quite right, that's like 4 or 5 hours a day, I don't have that kind of time!. Mind you about 5 of those hours was just me leaving the system on while not playing to get Merc missions finished.
BUT, obviously a lot of that was playing, so I found more to do after all! I think this game definitely has a lot of content, it just seems to lock a lot of it behind Merc missions, field skills, having specific blades, etc. Wish it was a bit more straightforward in how you get some of the side stuff moving forward.
Anyway, I don't have a whole lot to add to conversations. Overall my feelings are about what they were above... it's a good sequel, probably around the level of X (though for very different reasons, better story, worse exploration, etc.), not as good as the original. Though at this point for me there feels to be diminishing returns a bit. I kind of hope Monolith tries something new next instead of jumping into yet another Xenoblade right away. |
