ya'll are just saying because of how the graphics were back then. The witcher 3 follows the same conventions and is considered one of the best open world gamesCalling final fantasy open world is like calling super mario world an open world game.

What? It has nothing to do with graphicsya'll are just saying because of how the graphics were back then. The witcher 3 follows the same conventions and is considered one of the best open world games


. Have you ever really played an open world game? You are not forced to go from point A to point B like in FF.You can complete many different objectives and beat the game at your own pace in witcher 3. Final fantasy has always limited you on where you can go until you accomplish very linear and specific goals, and there aren't that many side quest to detract you.ya'll are just saying because of how the graphics were back then.

Not true, in the witcher you have to compete specific objective before you can even leave white orchard. You can't just start the game and starting doing side quests in skeligga.You can complete many different objectives and beat the game at your own pace in witcher 3.

The world map works the same way as the world map in super mario. It's a fancy way of leading you down a linear path.
The square enix has even said as much.
Same thing with breath of the wild and grand theft auto.Not true, in the witcher you have to compete specific objective before you can even leave white orchard. You can just start the game and starting doing side quests in skeligga.
so witcher 3 is not an open world game? I think you are confusing sandbox with open world. The order of the objectives you undertake is irrelevant.Same thing with breath of the wild and grand theft auto.
The game makes you accomplish a few goals then opens up to dozens of hours of content that you are free to beat in whatever order you want.
You sound like u dont understand what open world means.
Yes it is. The map opens up within the first few hours. In final fantasy 7 the map isnt completely open till the end.so witcher 3 is not an open world game?
No it doesn'tYes it is. The map opens up within the first few hours.


My point is that that whole first half of the game is not open world so it's misleading to classify the game as an open world game. FF7 is my favorite game of all time so I already know what to expect. I don't want people who never played it to be misled and end up expecting something that the isn't.
He's forgetting all about Chocobo's too.First half??? Bro, Midgar is barely a quarter of the game. You receive several vehicles as the game progresses.

I never said Midgar was the first half of the game and it seems you guys have no idea what an open world game is. When you leave Midgar can you go anywhere in the world? And no I did not forget about any of the other vehicles or the chocobos. Until you reach a certain point in the game, you are not free to explore the whole world. That means the game is not open world.He's forgetting all about Chocobo's too.
You posted this and still say FF7 is open world. I give up.Open world just means you can take a non linear route to your next objective in a 3d environment. You can take a scenic route or a shortcut etc.
Sandbox means you can progress the story at your own pace in whatever order you want. Those are two different things.
yes, midgar is tunneling because its a city....I never said Midgar was the first half of the game and it seems you guys have no idea what an open world game is.
