Its the Mario Odyssey open world with a wide area to explore sectioned off into being levels.
It is barely crossing the line, but as long the tip of the games toe is crossed over into genre it will be labeled as such.
It's just another showcase that genre titles in games seriously need a revamp.
The problem is neither Legends or Odyssey are open world and people have begun conflating "not ff xiii hallway simulator" as open world. Both games have clear hubs and story based blocks on where you can go.
There are two major Nintendo titles I think genuinely are open world from the last decade and that's Breath of the Wild, and Xenoblade X. And X still has some story gating in when events can happen but the entire region is explorable from the get go.
Besides, not every game needs to be open world. While I am excited to see how SV handles it for Pokemon, the guided route-gym format we've had works for balancing a traditional jrpg experience that really does make up the pokemon core series.

So in other words, you just don't know what Open World means?
Because BOTW isn't either by your logic since you can't leave the Great Plateau unless you do a very specific sequence of things and you have to go through loading screens to get to any of the shrines or divine beasts.
You want an example of open world vs. non-open world? Mario 64 is open world since you can do its main objectives freely, in completing any number of stars in a level in any order before proceeding. Mario Galaxy is NOT open world because there is only one curated way to complete the objective for each star and you can ONLY do that method from the moment you choose the path in the world select.
PLA is open world. The main objective is catching Pokemon can you can do that freely. There are a number of different ways and strategies you can go about reaching the next star rank.
>Is Mario 64 open world?
Yes. Mario 64 is open world because you can complete the objectives freely.
Mario Galaxy is NOT open world because the objectives are strictly scripted to happen a certain way no matter what.

>he thinks Mario Odyssey isn't open world
It literally is. >people have begun conflating "not ff xiii hallway simulator" as open world.
That's what you're doing, since you seem to think that the game's world is what makes a game open world and not how the main gameplay loop is.
Yes? And nowhere did they officially sate this was Open World.
You failed to do research as a wise consumer and bought into the trailers, which tried their damndest to dress up PLA as "BotW with Pokemon" without outright saying its true nature, when in fact the reality of PLA was on the official website the whole time.

you think wikipedia is a dictionary?
fricking idiot
Your headcanon's less of a dictionary than a curated site that has to cite its claims.
oh my god you are literal moron
Wikipedia literally considers a newsweek hitpiece more reliable than official government information on death statistics, moron.

what is the purpose of this thread
Shitty bait to rile hateful discussion and more bait, like every other board.
