In this episode we consider the value in open world game design in the genre of the RPG, and consider how the freedom to roam impacts narrative design, story-telling, mechanics and overall game experience for the player. As case studies we take a look at the Final Fantasy series and different applications of linear game design vs compartmentalised worlds - such as in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy VII respectively. Along with other games such as Elder Scrolls Skyrim, Grand Theft Auto, and Assassin's Creed as comparable examples.
