Will Xenoblade Chronicles X Have One of the If not The Best Open Worlds In Gaming to Date in Terms of Exploration?

Don't get me wrong. Those are some great visuals. That can't be argued. However, in comparison to the areas you can traverse in X, so far XV just doesn't look as great and interesting as X. Some areas feel too modern, and the open worlds feel too realistic. It doesn't have that fantasy feel like X does. X looks like a strange world that I want to explore. XV isn't doing it for me, so far at least. The settings and the monsters in them just seem to clash with me, like 2 things that don't look so well together. That's just me though.

 

...I think you're confusing fantasy with SciFi. X is definitely not fantasy. Like not even a little. Fantasy is magical, natural, and almost medeival. X is futuristic, alien, and mechanical. It's SciFi all the way. I would say XV is strict fantasy, but compared to X, it may as well be. Even if it's modern, it still retains those core fantasy elements. Medeival elements like knights and kings, giant castles, and fights with swords when there is clearly superior gun weaponry. Mythological creatures as enemies as opposed to alien ones, magic everywhere, large and rustic expanses. It oozes fantasy. X does not.

Yet again you're basing your view off of other things than the environment. The genre of the game is science fiction, but Planet Mira has many fantasy elements. 

There is mostly no scientific influence on the native creatures that live on Planet Mira. With little to no scientific influence it is extremely hard to say that the world and its environments are science fiction. 

We inhabit a fantasy world using science fiction.
