Linear, linear, linear

[Absurdity]

ARR maps feel like places people lived in and engaged with (like hot springs, empty huts, cerulean pipe lines). HW maps feel like going to Antarctica and being disappointed it's literally just a blank void.

If they can't fill the open world with enough points of interest just make the map smaller and denser and spend more resources on making interesting terrain (like Eureka Pagos)

This.


It's why I honestly wasn't a fan when they added flying to the ARR zones, all that really did is that people don't even see how much more detail those zones have compared to anything that came after.
Not like it took very long to get around the maps in the first place after you got the riding maps.
