I disagree with his complaints about the extra seek time. It was always apparent to me that was how it worked, although I didn't know the exact times. But it's totally obvious why the developers chose to do it that way, because otherwise, almost every balloon would require knowing the correct route AND having perfect execution to get. And sorry, even if that's fun for somebody who really knows Odyssey's ins and outs and wants a competitive take on the mode, that wouldn't be fun for literally millions of people trying to play the mode like a casual hide and seek. But even so, the video itself proves that you can creatively use coins in order to place a balloon that requires the seeker to perfectly "recreate" the route and execution of the hider. The mode as a whole would be hurt if the seek timer matched the hide timer exactly, but it's clearly still possible to place balloons that are very hard to get.
100% agree, it just wouldn't be any fun for the finder. Not only do they need a few seconds to get their bearings, but they don't have the luxury of being able to rehearse and perfect the route either.
The most exciting moments in Balloon World are when you barely get a balloon, or suss out where it's hidden in the last few seconds. Flawless execution balloons are, by far, the least fun to track down.
