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

Holy cow. That's very impressive, but why?

X's world was big enough. Making it (at least) 5 times bigger is too much unless they fill it with quests, items and different enemies and landscapes, otherwise it will get repetitive very soon.

I hope they know what they are doing.

The quests were never repetitive if you knew what you were doing. The only time I felt bored doing a quest was when it was from an unnamed NPC.
