What?  Do you have a source on that?

There's no way that FFXV is the biggest open world game.  

It is, concerning actually crafted worlds, not random generated worlds.
It's the biggest world in a game a developer has ever done by themselves.
Supposed to be 5x as larger as XCX world, for example.

Thanks for backing me up man.  I prefer this formula to randomly generated stuff and reused assets.
