Zelda is mirroring western RPG's now?

I dont even think FF15 is gonna pull it off. Open world is a western thing.

Final Fantasy XV won't pull it off, nor does it need to because it isn't an open world game.

It looks open world because of its expansive landscapes, but the game won't be much different from the more "open" Final Fantasy titles of yore (as in not a straight line like FF X and XIII). The developers stated that the world won't be fully open to you from the get go, and will follow what's been standard progression for the series in titles like FF VI for example. In which the world would open the more you advance through the story or when you get access to airships and the likes later in the game. 

I am aware of that, but because it doesn't change my concern I didnt bother with it. Open world or big expansive landscapes: Japanese games have never been good at these, because they dont understand the type detail that needs to go into them to keep them entertaining. Most players of MGSV said why couldnt the game just be composed of multiple mission areas with side ops as optional task during them? There was really no need for open world in MGSV. They did nothing with all that vastness and that is the primary problem when Japanese developers attempt to emulate open world.
