I said not direct ports from PS3 (all Tales of games on PS4 are also on PS3) like Persona 5. Ys VIII and Digimon are all also on PS Vita. Of course those games are gonna look bad in comparison. They are just ported from a last-gen console/handheld to PS4 with a higher resolution and framerate.

The WAY better looking are FFXV, DQXI and KH3 because they are made from the ground up for next gen consoles. Those games have better or equal performance compared to XC2 while looking much better. 

You also need to take the world size into the consideration here, Tetsuya Takahashi also said the world is bigger than XCX that dwarfed entire SQE games combined.

KH and DQ = open area

XC2 = open world and more demanding for Hardware

Look how small FF XV with unexplored areas and regions compared to XCX 400km2 without any invisible wall within the world

 

vs One area from XCX fully explorable 

Kind of a deceptive comparison.  First, XC2 appears to be open area.  The areas are huge and combined create a bigger world than X probably, but they are not seemless I don't think.

Second, XCX's listed world size is the entire heightmap, a good part of which is under water.  

Lastly, a game being open world vs open area doesn't necessarily increase demand as much as one would think.  It's really all about how the engine handles streaming in details and loading new areas of the map as you traverse it.  An engine that handles all that really well won't be too much more taxed by open world vs open area.
