JRPG fans that want a huge open world have 2, i cant wait for both!

Doesn't X have dynamic weather and day and night cycle as well?  How much of this are we actually expecting in the base game anyway?  And will the final game's environments be so bland and featureless?

Actually now that I think about it.  I've seen these games get pitted head to head on here and NeoGaf with a head to head of Witcher 3 and FFXV on Gamefaqs.  Would be great if we can get a full head to head of Game of the Generation RPGs going.

Just a large comparison list of the features each game will have.  Games to compare;
Xenoblade X
Witcher 3
FFXV
Dragon's Age Inquisition

Yaye/Naye?  I'd be interested to see a complete list of features of all of those games.

With those 2 games, gamers don't need to buy another game for months due to the insane amount of content those games normally have. 

I didn't mean "software."  A soft cap is the idea of there not being an actual cap but some aspect (in this case, resources) creates a pseudo limit to how far you can reach in a practical sense.  I'm saying that even though they may have the means to make a world that is much larger, the resources needed to fill it make it impractical. 

TLS is my fave game of last gen.  It's a fantastic game and a lot of hidden chapters.

=========================================================================

On topic people don't know how large 5X than Xenoblade is. Xenoblade was nearly twice  as large as Skyrim. So 5X that makes Skyrim look like a CoD map.

Also XV looks to not have much going on in it's world. A lot of empty space. Xenoblade and even this new game have a lot of enemies and stuff to collect and a lot to do. XCX as seen by some earlier trailers has enemies the size of a skyscraper. Sure XB had big enemies and we saw a couple in XV but so far shown has enemies that even make the Dino in the first area seem small.

XCX will also have total freedom to explore with no loading screen. Monolith said it would be seamless. XV looks to pull players on a string. Game forces you forward. Get out explore a little bit then have to move forward again.

No. The key word here is "dynamic system" what you see in most games including X is referred to as "weather pattern" and "baked lighting solution". The difference here is that the dynamic system is heavy in the resources, it requires its own calculations to measure objects and distance. The light effect is not part of the art / textures, it is a standalone thing. You can see the sun gradually moving while the lighting of  the world changing in real time.

So is the weather system. It is not a pattern. A dynamic weather system means the rain dynamically and gradually changing from heavy to soft, while interacting real-time with the other world elements like the wind direction, the look of the textures and so on. Final Fantasy XV Is a clear example to understand those systems better.

The backed lighting system like in X is much less ambitious but it is also not demanding. The day and night "cycle" is 3 different kinds of "world paint" day paint, dusk paint and night paint. The shift between the three happens without any interaction with the world elements, and it doesn't happen gradually, the time of day remains static untill the change happens.

3- “Whether it’s driving or combat, you can do what you like in the game,” Tabata told Kotaku. “There is that freedom. It’s open world, and it’s possible to go where you want and explore."

Please do research and don't assume things based on no knowledge

Yaye but keep in mind that the list would be strickly as an informative resource.  I mean for an RPG lover, this list is a dream come true. 

Hard to believe those are both from the same game!

Some deep seeded sarcasm?
