After FFX, I didn't enjoy or like another RPG until Xenoblade came out and I played it. The music, the story... the art work. It felt more like FFX than FFX2 lol.
But do I think this game will match the first? I don't know. I am a skeptic at heart. I have been burned way too many times by games not living up to past installments to just trust in them blindly. I HOPE this game is going to be just as great, but... you never know.
So to answer the question, no. I don't think it will have the best open world in gaming to date. One of the reasons the first game was so great was because it was developed for a non HD system and thus, budgets were lower. If you look at last gen, when we went from PS2-PS3, games suffered.
I hope I'm wrong. But that's my guess.
