In just that one post alone, there's already far more interesting geography and varied locale than in all of Skyrim.
So yeah, probably better, given this is -one- area.

From the newest Edge: map in X more than 5 times bigger than in Xenoblade on Wii

And if they don't I'll just play the fun main quest.
It not like they force you to do it.
Exactly! Was great as it is, but would be even better with homies over a.i.

And I'm sure all they have shown from this game so far is all from one zone of many. So, yeah, this game is going to be huge.

I cannot... release this already, how am I supposed to wait man? CMON!
Xenoblade is my favorite RPG in fucking years, up there with Chrono Trigger, even if CT is still first. Gotta do my best to keep myself alive and well.
Well it think its important to consider what made Xenoblade's areas so great. Each area had a ton of unique geography combined with interesting art and cool locals due to each map being self contained and not being overly huge. I think its fair to be a little concerned about the effect of significant sprawl being added to the equation. Having said that I don't think it will be an issue given what we've seen so far.

If this game has online co op, me and my friend will die playing this game.
And it's not just the locales that are insanely huge:
You're just the size of this thing's toenail.
And if you think that's big:
Sci-fi opera, more like.

Ahh, I see.
I just hope they keep the tropes to a minimum. I can only role my eyes so many times before I eject. Still super optimistic about it, tho.

pretty much my reaction. If mech travel ( and flying ) is in , then this is just the "right" size.

No problem dude. I'm still not sure if I'll go for a guy or girl in my first playthrough. If I can give the guy a beard I'll likely go with a guy, but at the same time I REALLY want to be Space Rihanna!

Why not?
As far as I know, the voice of the character is preset. and just like Xenoblade, all cut scenes here are rendered in real time, so it will be basically the same; the only thing you change is the outside appearance of the character; and you did this in part in the original game.

Same here. I love a main protagonist that actually has something to say.
That being said, a poster above reminded me that one of my favorite RPGs (Chrono Trigger) has a character that doesn't speak.
I'm not saying it will be as great as CT, but I'm going to at least keep an open mind about it, instead of being negative like I was when I first heard about it.

I'll believe it when I see it.
Is just... too much to be true D:

The character doesn't talk.
I hope so. I really dislike it when big RPGs like this don't have the protagonist actively participating in the conversations and scenes. How they did Ludger in Xillia 2 is a total put off too and takes me out of the game. If X is like Mass Effect then that's great though.

What do you mean why? The one-sentence-long quote says why.
I mean I know people often skip the OP and just react on titles... but the quote is just a sentence long, not hard to read even by accident.
Ugh, well that brings my excitement down a notch. Having a silent protagonist in a game like this is horrible.

5 times bigger?
Holy shit.
Game of the forever confirmed
pretty large?
It's MASSIVE
edit: MASSIVE part 2 (a speed up walk-through the maps; spoliers!)

True, but at the same time I feel it's a worthy sacrifice to have the feeling it's your own character interacting with the world, its inhabitants, and your squad mates rather than watching the action from afar. Especially so if affinity is back (which it most assuredly is)...
Oh ho ho, please tell me this was intentional...
For as long as there are interesting party members, it wouldn't be a problem.

Why can't I hold all these hnnnngs.
There's something worth noting:
The default male MC voice actor is 浅沼 晋太郎 (Shintaro Asanuma), Shulk's voice actor, and during the story trailer, there's a line that goes, "So... Does that mean we're basically dead already?" that's spoken by him.
Interpret that as you will.

Hahaha, I didn't even make that connection until I read your post lol.
Hmmmmmm...well let's save it when there is a good amount of info regarding the story.

Hope it's as well designed as Xenoblade's world though. The larger a map is, the harder it becomes to make it interesting and fun to explore. I have faith in Monolith Soft though.
I just want to be clear: it sounded a lot like him, but I don't want to say it's him for sure.

Anyone know if anything else of note was in this interview?
Map size means next to nothing without some context. Need to know more about what's actually in the world before I can gauge if this is good, bad or neither. It's probably good though.

Opening sections (treehouse footage) already looked interesting on foot.
I'm not worried. We got NA Xenoblade on Wii like 1.5+ years after JPN.
They've been in development for a long time. More than enough time than most AAA games that have come out in the past.
Xenoblade Wii is our context.
But for those who haven't played it I can see how trying to compare to other open world games might not seem as impressive.

Hasn't X been in development for like 4 years already? That's plenty of time to fill the world with a lot of amazing stuff.

The budget for this game must be MASSIVE.
Xenoblade wasn't that big when it came down to it.
At least for a game set up in the body of a giant robot, it was just a bunch of somewhat large areas. You can climb from the robot knee to the head in like half an hour, which makes little sense.
While the game is great, I expected a bigger, more connected map.
