>>58486967It's insane to me that we get a subseries for specifically experimenting with gameplay design and they make a wild swing for the series that it's never done before like going for one single large, dense city that wouldn't be viable at this size if the game had more to it, and people are like "damn I really wish we got the same kind of design we have already had before..."
I'll be very clear on this, I don't think every game should be designed like Legends Z-A, not at all, and I would absolutely welcome the return of more complex dungeons and would like to see the modern mechanics applied to a more structured world instead of a fully open one. I don't fundamentally disagree with your desires. But I find the way you define them annoying. "The open world was filler"? The open world is the point of this game. The city is the point. Engage with the game on what it offers instead of asking every game in the series, ESPECIALLY the experimental sub-series, to be defined by your own expectations.
