Final Fantasy XV and the upcoming Starfield are two highly anticipated open world role-playing games featuring massive worlds to explore. While details on Starfield are still limited since the game isn't out yet, we can compare what we know so far to the recent Final Fantasy XV.

Game Worlds

Final Fantasy XV takes place in the world of Eos which includes the kingdom of Lucis and surrounding lands. The world features varied landscapes to explore including forests, deserts, and cities. Starfield, according to the Starfield Wiki, will allow players to explore over 1,000 planets across many star systems. Both games promise huge open worlds but Starfield's sci-fi setting gives it a unique advantage in scale and diversity of environments.

Customization

In FFXV, you play as Prince Noctis along with three companions. You can customize their outfits but are limited by playing preset characters. Starfield offers more customization by allowing you to create your own character and backstory from scratch. The Starfield Wiki says you can choose your character's traits, skills, and appearance to roleplay different classes and playstyles.

Combat

FFXV features real-time action combat with Noctis using weaponry like swords, lances, and magic. Starfield promises a refined FPS-style combat system with modifiable weapons including rifles, lasers, and explosives that can be tailored to your preferred playstyle. Starfield's sci-fi arsenal and zero-G environments could provide more diverse combat options.

Vehicles

Noctis and crew road trip across the world of Eos in their car the Regalia. Players can drive, fly airships, and ride chocobos for faster transportation. In Starfield, you can fully pilot the spaceship of your dreams and engage in ship battles and upgrades. The ability to fly your own spaceship gives Starfield an advantage in freedom and customization.

With more details yet to be revealed on Starfield, it's hard to definitively compare the two RPGs. But Starfield's emphasis on sci-fi exploration and customization gives it the edge over Final Fantasy XV's more linear world and preset characters. We'll have to wait and see how the ambitious new IP from Bethesda stacks up when it launches.
