Well my reference MMOs include WoW, Warhammer Online, Rift, Aion, TERA, GW1, GW2, and Neverwinter. I don't know what MMOs you're playing with zones bigger than FFXIV, but they're almost certainly niche games with little influence on the market. Now I'm not saying FFXIV shouldn't try to accomplish that. I'm always in favor of making things bigger and better, you have to understand that. But compared to other major titles, FFXIV is about on par.

edit: I acknowledge that FFXI had bigger zones, but that was back in the day when "make a 50 mile long flat plane and color it brown/green" was acceptable.
