There were a lot of simple aspects from 11 that could help improve the feel of the dungeons and world

1) the doors/banishing gates as mentioned by the OP to actually make the dungeons feel somewhat like obstacles and not a walk in the park

2) hidden doors and rooms like in Temple of Uggalepih and Phomiuna Aqueducts to add depth

3) Personally, I found the dungeons in 11 had more going from them from a lore perspective. In TotoRak or Darkhold for example there is no chamber which is just there as a neat set piece. In 11 when you go up from the aqueducts to the library, you actually step into a room that looks like a library. In 14, when you go from one chamber in darkhold to the next, its just another room with no unqiue features despite the map saying one area is a "Grand Chamber" "Feast Hall" "Chocobo Stables" etc And I know they are long abandoned ruins, but even in 11 Garliage Citadel or Eldieme were abandoned and still had unique features in different rooms.
