More caves, more underwater adventures, more towns, more hidden areas such as that ancient forgotten hidden forest type thing or the UFO area etc, all that stuff. If you had ten times the amount of space to search and ten to twenty times the amount of visitable areas, it would take ages for you to find everything, but you'd still not be blocked off by some stupid uncrossable river that, apparently, even your flying device can't figure out a way to get to the other side of.

This sounds like what Final Fantasy XII could have been if the entire world was featured in the single game. I think that worlds should be developed and expanded, too, but there are still technological limitations in place that force developers to choose between expansiveness or attractiveness, as the prettier the graphics, the more resources the graphics take —
