I actually dissagree with this. After seeing the trailer and how ridiculous large and lively Midgar was, I think its best they focus on making all iconic and crutial loations as believable and rich as possible. If they can do that and incoprorate every locale from the world map into the game then great, but if it means waiting til 2020 then no thanks.

I think he meant the actual world map, not everything. The individual towns and locations will have been upgraded to silly levels.  Imagine Junon, a massive military base with personel wandering around (or in this case, getting ready for your leader to visit), with a massive cannon sitting above it all. But the world map, needs to be simple and an actual world map like before, it can be bigger and prettier, but it still needs to be a world map. You know with a ship later and the Tiny Broncho earlier only being able to explore shallow water. That kind stuff.

yep. this is what I picture. Give a sense of scope to the games that have been lacking since FF9. Just played FFX HD and it just reiterated to me how much the lack of a world map makes a game feel smaller.
