While I'm not going to just deny FFXV could be bigger, saying it will be far bigger is wishful thinking imo. Getting too far beyond the scale Xenoblade is hitting begins to push the practicality soft-cap I mentioned earlier. Just cause you have the tech (not that PS4 could run the tech necessarily) doesn't mean you can/should use it.

While bigger doesn't mean bigger area Lol. it could be dungeon, or  bigger ocean. or maybe bigger city and bigger structure (modern structure )

I think the sofware cap,will  not become a hindrance , it depends onthe  engine, some engine capable to execute random map and folliage without puting alot of resource, "No Man Sky " for the example, they dont need to render every planet, they just put a little resource and the rest is  done by the CPU.

I didn't mean "software."  A soft cap is the idea of there not being an actual cap but some aspect (in this case, resources) creates a pseudo limit to how far you can reach in a practical sense.  I'm saying that even though they may have the means to make a world that is much larger, the resources needed to fill it make it impractical. 

Yeah i agree if there is no resource, but when they give the character, some car and airship and teleport gate, it will make practical, not to mention a ship for cross continent  and public transportation like train to connect to another city. Well i also agree that another factor to enjoy a vast world is to add some meaningfull and interesting quest, so it depend on the content and from the news we haven't get anymore info how this game would become, so it's still to have a chance to have a bigger world.
