So XCX's map is about 5,500 square miles? Hmmm...that's about the size of the state of Connecticut. When you say it like that, seems kinda small...


Where you getting that? The same size as Fuel?

Hey, I like Don't Worry.



Didn't think of this, was thinking open world games, but here.  This is open world, just not a fully traversable open world except by camera.  Would be the world's largest video game map.  Over two thirds of Japan.  So atleast 100,000 square miles.  The only thing is this game isn't open world and it's only fully explorable to the closest zoom when outside of combat.  Regardless whether you can traverse the entire map on foot, it's the largest detailed map.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13 will be bigger if it uses the same or similar visual style.

Here's the map zoomed all the way out.

 

The map zoomed in a bit so you can see the provinces.

The map all the way zoomed in to show the size of a province.  One of the squares in the second picture.

Zoomed further in, only during battles.



Surely it will be bigger than Jak 3 or Jak 2 (I remember the Spargus desert in Jak 3 hahaha). However, the only home console I've got is a Playstation 2 xD so I don't know at all.

I guess it will be like GTA or more.



It's definitely big, though I don't think it's the biggest

I thought I read that someone said that in an earlier post. 



Right. So it's actually 154 square miles. That's slightly smaller than Andorra and slightly larger than the Gaza Strip.

Isn't XCX around 150 square miles?
It's about Witcher 3 size, but Fuel is ridiculously bigger than that.
5500 square miles is what, ~35 times XCX world?

It's one of the biggest this gen yet, though.
FF15 is measured as over 5 times that (XCX), so when it comes it'll make parameters for this gen to go really up.


The Witcher 3 is around 52 square miles, So Xenoblade Chronicles X is actually +3 times bigger than Witcher 3, and for comparison:

Skyrim was around 40 Km2
FarCry 4 was around 45Km2
Read Dead Redemtion was around 50Km2
GTA 5 was around 80Km2
The Witcher 3 was around 135Km2

Xenoblade Chronicles X is 400 Km2



I like how we've come to listing random numbers without any sources.

According to developers, the game is about five times as big as the original game, which at the time they claimed had a playable map the size of Japan. That's almost definitely untrue in both respects, but I feel like we have to account for the existence of the mechs and not scale the world down as if one mech = one person in height.

To answer the OP's question, probably not



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

XCX is bigger than the witcher 3.
