As you dive into the magical world of Athia in Square Enix's latest Forspoken fan has answered your query.
In a very, very detailed Reddit post, u/SlurryBlender states that they "used the custom waypoint feature to do a very basic set of measurements of Athia's landmass. I only did a very general 'width x height' calculation, plus removing a few shapes around the edges, plus taking out the unplayable regions inside the map to find the actual 'playable area.'"
It turns out that Athia's playable zone is about the size of Manhattan, one of the most famous boroughs in New York City. It's not lost on me that the fantasy game's sassy protagonist, Frey, is also from the Big Apple – coincidence, or clever engineering on Luminous' part? I guess we'll never know.
When compared to the sprawling sandbox universes of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2, Athia comes in at around "2.5x the size of Skyrim, 1.5x the size of Breath of the Wild, and 1.3x the size of Red Dead Redemption 2."
Of course, all of these voice acting is a little cringe, I can see myself spending hours exploring every nook and cranny.
If you, like me, are on a somewhat fruitless crusade to convince players that Forspoken isn't absolutely awful, then we've got a rundown of the best graphics cards are struggling, so you'll thank me later.
