>>49366642>>World feels a bit empty. Very similar to BOTW in a lot of ways.To be fair, while that criticism of BotW seems to leap out, it's not really true. Imagine if in PLA you could wander around and see other NPCs having dynamic battles against Pokemon and join in and help them, and that these NPCs had their own personalities and stories. Imagine if you'd be exploring and would find a soulful village filled with NPCs with varied and interesting night and day cycles and various quests that cover things from racing on a seal to building your own village.
Imagine if you regularly found ancient ruins with specific puzzles for you and your pokemon to solve. Imagine if there were various activities to discover like snowboarding, bowling, and archery while riding a pokemon. Imagine if you could bump into a traveller and then follow them around the entire world, with them saying different things in different regions, reacting to the weather, stopping at certain locations and then talking about them.
So far, PLA is actually genuinely empty and devoid of anything but wandering enemies. BotW can seem like that when you're in a more critical mood but it really isn't.
