How wrong you are :)

It's slightly less than twice the size of GTA V and about 10x the size of Oblivion, if it helps.

It is the wish of Lady Meyneth that we create a world with no need for gods. You stand against her?!

We need to have a list of the top 100 largest games :0

That said, XCX has something that most games dont have that are huge, and thats an outstanding Landscape that actually makes the world even bigger than it seemingly is

~ "The interview says the world of Xenoblade X is about 400km^2, which is 5 times the Xenoblade. But I think he did mention it was about 5 times of Xenoblade in the past."

Amazing sized world, denifitely a plus

~ "Takahashi's XenobladeX's final check play time was orver 300 hours"

Xenoblade Chronicles took me around 125 hours to complete. So this game (assuming he 100%) takes a little over twice as long. Not to mention there is more than likely going to be an online hunt mode which will boost the play time quite a bit. Definitely looking foward to this!

-Xenoblade was traditional RPG, whereas XenobladeX is an open world RPG. Xenoblade was linear despite having big world. XenobladeX you will get quests from different places and have more freedom.

True, The areas in XC were vast, but there were entry and exit points for each area. This is great to know though (although we really already knew this). 

-Xenoblade had 1 vocal song at the end, but XenobladeX has many vocal song. (Many for RPG)

AMAZING SOUNDTRACK from what I've heard, definitely a positive.

-Mira is 400^2m which is 5 times Xenoblade. So there is Dolls which can fly. Also you can check your location via gamepad

One of my most anticipated things to do is to fly around in a Doll. 

-Battle system is based on Xenoblade, but it's faster paced and more action packed.

We have already seen this too, with the class system and skill system revealed. There should be a lot of depth where XC there was really only character specific skills. This is going to be amazing to dive into.

-4 player party, you control 1 and AI controls the rest.

Literally the one thing people may view as a disappointment. I had pretty much figured it wasn't going to be drop in/drop out main campaign so it's not all that disappointing to me. 

-number of unique monsters and equipments have increased from Xenoblade.

I'm excited to see what they are.

Not at first, but after seeing these 2 alien races fighting it out, with Earth in the crossfire, yes we need many gods!!!

Yes indeed. The GTA V thing is misleading because an awful lot of the map is in the water, and you can drive at 200mph+ and fly across the area, too. Obviously you won't be able to do this in Xenoblade X (mechs might go 30mph?). The Oblivion map may be more accurate, and anyone who's tried running across that knows how long that takes!

Anyway the most important stat to me is 5x the size of Xenoblade. Because Xenoblade was huge and took forever to traverse (in a good way). This only makes me think we'll be getting more of the same, which is excellent.

Also, please don't put Xenoblade spoilers or, if you do, please put them in spoiler tags.

Hahaha. Point taken.

Here's something I shamelessly copy+pasted from Gaf:

The magazine also introduces "Union" Sound something like factions for quests.

There are 8 of them, and you can join any of them, and change them depending on your goal.
