Hopefully, AC won't be depressingly tiny.

I think it will most likely be a typical Ubisoft 7/10 with some 8's thrown in. Pretty much how all their other games have tracked for the last 10 years.
Alrighty, played this bad boy for 4–5 hours last week, ama, write up below:

Is this one in the classic format or origins, Odyssey format
This is an open-world RPG AC game, so Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla

Odyssey was fun to explore and discover the landmarks. I don't know as much about Japan but hopefully it still hits the same.
Assuming you mean Valhalla with that last sentence, only AC I couldn't get through, probably made it to 20hours in. Glad that it sounds like they are correcting.

I'm guessing as far as tone goes, this will be closer to Valhalla. Judging by the previews the characters are much more serious and formal, which makes sense given the location and time.
I personally prefer the more light hearted and humourous path that Odyssey brought in the RPG series as far as characters and dialogue. Found Valhalla a bit dour in that regard.

Origins was absolutely awesome. Never played Odyssey. Valhalla was an absolute punish. Had every intention of finishing that one but just couldn't do it.

I believe it was more in terms of loot and how the NPC's interact, since with Valhalla there was a very 'I'm just an angry person venting" vibe to any discussions whereas in Odyssey there is mythical creature here, go join an orgy there, swoon a promiscuous person there oh shit plague... so it feels more lived in and that things progress.
So it was map size about as big as Origins was, and how you go around those areas that peeps got to play in, feels more like rando Greek town than rando English town with how it got engaged and things in area, hence Odyssey and not Valhalla.
Can imagine the shit storm where Ubi has actually removed the big black man from Japanese promotional material entirely and changed it from Samurai to honoured warrior, imagine if Ubi poked fun at the history of Japan in the 1500's, that'd go down well... lead balloon anyone?
Odyssey is just a fun time, so if you have interest do it as it's just vibrant and kind of over the top in places. Like lol sticking cyclop's eye up a goats arse and then finding the goat and fishing that eye out later. Pure comedy and it works. So if you've time, go for it as nothing like Valhalla but also nothing like an actual Assassin either.
I think that's the last trophy I had to hunt down to get the platinum. Took me ages to find that ****ing goat.

That achievement was a pan in the arse. I didn't get a notification for it and spent way longer than I needed to trying to get it before checking to see if I got it but missed it.

Testikles was the greatest character of any of those 3 games.

Getting to see him again in the DLC was great.
