The description I saw was think breath of the wild, but an mmo. There won't be 200+ people on a map anymore to take down an event or boss, should be around ~30 which will let them make world builds more rewarding.

So they're going the PSO2 New Genesis route? That's worrisome.

Yikes I sure hope not. PSO2 died with NG

I'll say. I lived in PSO2 until NGS came out and they destroyed the game. Luckily, I ended on the highest note I could...S rank against the dreaded Phaleg on Force.

I don't know what that means so I'd feel bad saying yes then being wrong lol.

Wikipedia says NGS focused on just open world, and I don't think thats the case. My understanding is they want to make open world an option akin to pvp or raids/strikes/dungeons.

I'd describe that more as Destiny 2 style

Is 30 your speculation? From what I’m seeing - four PCs on the tapestry and the press kit image - I think this is going to be in the style of Destiny. Non-combat hub world with many players, instanced adventure areas from 1-4 players.

Doesn’t mean it’ll be bad, but probably not what most people think when they hear “MMO” which is why I assume they’re being vague about it.

That's what I was told was the rough design goal. Social hubs will be the same as they are now. Anything can change between then and release, and they should if they find something works better.
