[1] MGS V is estimated to be roughly 32% of GTA V's land map. Rough calculation derived from reddit- https://m.reddit.com/r/metalgear/comments/27ech8/metal_gear_solid_v_map_size_comparison_with_gta_v/"Yes the engine is better, but XV is [CITATION NEEDED] and [CITATION NEEDED]."
Now here's the kicker. Based on what we know at this point, FFXV seems to be much bigger than even GTA V. What percentage of that is explorable? Not sure, but for argument's sake, that's not what I'm asked to cite. Image estimated by ds but I found a posting through reddit to compensate https://m.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/3jcxbr/final_fantasy_xv_map_size_revealed_its_about_ten/
[2] Now sourcing my next point would be debatable, I will admit that. But what I was saying for this is playing through MGS V was a blast no doubt but think about the spectactle of it all. What can compare in MGSV to Noctis fighting that gigantic tortoise adamantoise type thing seen in various videos? That's moreso what I was speaking on, hard to give a citation on these things when the games not out but this was what I was saying. I should have clarified and said XV seems to have greater highs, since yes ofc the game isn't out but already based on what we've seen it looks to be more ambitious
