>>42282787Let’s be real, the only thing that’s missing in the cities are a big evil team HQ and more houses for flavor text. Regarding the latter, it’s noticeable and yet players probably spend 5 minutes total looking around in those houses.
Lumiose is big for example, but how many of you actually spent time going back to each cafe and plaza once the story was over? What other games had was a successful illusion of an expanse.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t have real exploration in each town now but it’s not necessarily gamebreaking compared to past gens.
