From what I've read in here, the overall world structure is open with this being a 'dungeon' I assume?
That's one giant pig! I skipped around a bit, but I did not get any sense of how much fighting is done in these open environments. I am fine with most of the combat being in the dungeons as long as dungeons are not too far apart, or lot of interesting stuff happens in the open environments.
I have heard about those famous (infamous?) dungeon.The demo is just a part of a dungeon in a zelda game.
If the game is like nier, there will be a variety of dungeon types.
Ill spoil tag some examples,of how drastically different those dungeons in Nier are
One dungeon you get trapped in a visual novel and play a text adventure. Another you go through a mansion in the style of resident evil 1, with locked camera's and opening locked doors.
