I still feel like it could be nice if they let treasure chests, beast tribes, and perhaps even leves give some related reward too. Still in the open world, still likely to see others, but also part of systems that allow far more planned spread and ownership of the content so you're not wrecked by blue mage, mass train, or flying when you can't fly. I separated blue from mass train because even once the content gets quiet a blue mage could still send certain FATEs into the gutter.
