>>52165754>Is there any actual benefit to making SV “open world”Yes and it's no different than the benefit that Kanto and Johto's open world had on the fucking Gameboy. The series was meant to be this way. Can you zoomers not learn to play and experience the game for yourselves instead of having arbitrary cutscene points every 5 steps as was the case ever since SM?
The game is the most replayable it's ever been and the experience itself more engaging all throughout.
