It's a fantasy game, but it's also a final fantasy game, which means it can involve technology (mostly in the form of magitek, the garlean empire and ancient allag at the moment). It doesn't quite follow the same rules as other fantasy stories. I was impressed how they managed to make something straying so far into science fiction with space and time travel still feel like a fantasy story.

The Scions journeying in Meracydia=Austrailia/Africa or the New World=Americas cannot compare, and I am unlikely to be convinced of otherwise.
I think they should tell whatever final fantasy story they want to tell rather than clickbaiting with an exciting-looking area that doesn't deliver because it wasn't the story they wanted to tell. If it's another desert or jungle that's fine with me.
