I actually disagree on that front, I don't think any of the games have immense "wow" factors when it comes to locations (outside of very high areas overlooking the surroundings). I think the feeling you're getting stems from the fact that 1 and X both reside on extremely weak hardware comparative to what was on the market at the time, as such the highs of the tech in them are elevated (similar to how 1 got an increased Metacritic score due to being one of a handful of good JRPGs on the Wii) especially when compared to other games on the system. With 2, you're on a modern platform with increased performance compared to the other Nintendo consoles; this means you're getting more AAA big budget, good looking games that waters down the individual experiences.
As well as that, it's the 3rd game in the series, so you're starting to get that repetitive 'been there, done that' syndrome.
