Yeah. A lot of areas are much, much bigger overall. The major settlements and cities are a good example of this. We only explore a tiny portion of each. It makes me hope that in the future we'll see an entire zone devoted to exploring a ruined city - much like Lea Monde from Vagrant Story or the remnants of Nabudis in FFXII...

Many dungeons have plenty of sealed doors throughout them as well. Satasha is a great example of that.
