or like the OG version. Yeah, the 1997 game was a open world after you leave Midgar.
- It was an open world with only one path through it
  
  Once you got the blimp it was legit open world.
Taking notes from the FF15 open world might not be a great idea... The fishing minigame on the other hand, now we're talking!
Both were overdone and empty-ish (southern Velen swamps gave me PTSD)
- I remember liking Witcher 3's. It made the world feel large and lived in. Although I'm not the kind of person who needs to complete everything on a map. I have heard people complain about that
  
  There are some decent ones where you can find fragments of stories told through letters and/or environmental storytelling, but most of the question marks are just mindless monster nests, bandit camps and buried treasure. Skellige in particular is notorious for all the question marks in the water that are just vendor trash flotsam to collect.
  In general exploration in TW3 would be more rewarding if the itemization wasn't so scuffed. The only gear worth using is the Witcher sets (which you craft), which really lessens the excitement you feel when looting. There were so many times where I found a guarded treasure, defeated the boss and looked at a cool unique sword, only to realize its stats were beyond atrocious.
Good lord just do the same shit they did with the original but update the graphics.
They're going to ruin this... 😕
- The ending of part 1 was literally killing a manifestation of the concept of being a remake. It's a sequel to FF7R, in which the subtitle "Remake" was a red herring, not part 2 of a remake.
  
  Considering how much it smacks you in the face, it amazes me how many people fail to see or completely ignore the subversion of destiny/fate plot point.
  
  Maybe I’m just high, but I can’t for the life of me understand what the fuck this means…lol
If the open world in rebirth is like 15, this game will be trash.
- Fine, we'll do the open world like 13.
