Takahashi said XCX was "more than" 5 times larger than the original: > is not the same as =. The land-area of Xenoblade Chronicles X ended up only being slightly bigger than that 5 times anyway. I doubt Nintendo would say that this game is 12 times larger than TP when it is in fact 100 times larger. If each block was 1 sq-km, then it would be quite easy for Nintendo to come up with a specific number like 100 times rather than 12 times larger. Unless they were overestimating TP? But per Occam's Razor, I think the simplest solution is usually the correct one. |
The plateau area alone from the full Treehouse footage looks to be bigger than Hyrule in TP so 12 times that wouldn't get much further than the surrounding areas and Nintendo said it's 1% of the game the is also no direct quote from any of the development where this 12 times TP came from either.

As you can see the 12 times TP doesn't add up and it's believed the comment if actually said is in reference to the plateau and not the entire map.
