I'm not that far into the game, so maybe this changes, but what's strangest to me about the world is that it's really not all that different from 16's world in terms of having big zones in which there are a lot of different activities to do. It's like... if you took one of the regions in 16 and just dropped icons all over the map for all of the hunts and rare materials and lore bits, maybe added a tower or two to unlock those icons, they would look practically identical, but whereas 16 got savaged by fans for not having "world traversal", rebirth seems to largely be avoiding this criticism.

I haven't got too far into VII Rebirth yet but the problem with XVI is that there weren't many different activities to do in the world at all and there was no reason to explore.

I don't think you do anything in a single XVI quest other than follow the waypoint (or hunting board hint) to collect an item or fight monsters .

Like towers are an obvious incentive to explore off the beaten track even if it's boring and unimaginative. XVI didn't even have that.

But at least the hunt board adds gameplay by forcing you to try and figure out where the monster lives based on context clues from its sighting description. Rebirth just throws an icon on the map and says "go here and kill this monster for Chadley".

Pay attention to the vending machines when you come across them. Not only are the items inside poorly textured but even the art on the outside is a blurry mess.

Was really jarring coming from Infinite Wealth because those games tend to do a great job with those kinds of details.

I wouldnt say terrible but the character models look so much better than the rest of the world it does look comparatively bad in a way.

Not affecting my enjoyment at all, stuff like the owls that lead you to the lifesprings sort of suck the enjoyment out of exploring though. Its even marked on the map if you found a tower so why do we need the owl? Same with hitting those boxes that guide you to the divine summon things. Just look around for a few seconds and youll find them

the tower is marked on your map to start. Or you can just find it on your own and actually have a sense of exploration instead of some owl holding your hand and erasing that

not at all, the yellow paint helps ensure people find the climbable spots to complete the game while the owls strip you of your ability to explore for optional stuff in the overworld on your own. They arent the same to me

Remake on PS4 had this infamous door
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/3825c5d2.jpg

It's probably the little things like this that aren't overlooked in a game from a studio like Rockstar or Naughty Dog or whatever that pushes the budget up for those games while Square-Enix works with what they're given.

They did fix this door in the PS5 and PC port.

Yeah poor indie dev square enix couldn't afford textures on a remake of some game from 27 years ago nobody played or cares about

It's not really about that specific door. There's stuff like that all over the game. Fixing every little issue like that adds up.

But we had people on social media saying that modern gaming development isn't sustainable because it's too expensive and then literally the following week we have social media picking apart the visual flaws and oversights in a AAA game. Which is it gonna be?

There's going to be graphical concessions made given the wide open nature of the game. Part 1 had some bad looking things but it was more tightly controlled and packed, they could focus on appearance a lot more.

I'd argue that forcing you to wander around an empty map to find the one spot that has something relevant in it is not a beneficial way of adding gameplay

Judging by the varying quality I saw, I would be willing to bet there's a problem in the game causing textures to not load or not load properly at least.

It feels weird and jarring how some areas can look amazing and some look worse that Remake on the PS4. I really haven't put much time in to the game due to my crippling Helldivers 2 addiction though.
