Your logic is backwards. The more powerful hardware makes it less likely for FF XV to have the bigger world for two reasons: 1) Higher quality assets take up more space, but the PS4's blu-ray discs are limited to 50GB just like Wii U's. Of course, there's nothing stopping S-E from making a multi-disc game. However... 2) ...the creation of a more detailed world costs more money. This was the reason why towns, among other things, were scrapped during the development of FF XIII which ultimately meant that the biggest JRPG of the seventh generation was on the Wii. |
You make very compelling points but you aren't accounting for things like data compression and the consoles HDD. Still very valid points. Money is always a factor and more assets and detail are more expensive. At the end of the day, I would love to know how much FF15 cost to produce... over the course of nearly a decade of development mind you.
