By this logic, since medieval Europe so cliched a setting, combined with Sturgeon's Law, we can also claim that there are far more bad games within that setting than even serviceably decent ones.
Why you still feel the need to press for discussion on this subject is a mystery. In any case, there are hardly any games that take place in Australia or Africa at all. Possibly because there isn't much interest in visiting those regions, regardless of whatever the twitter crowd is pushing for these days. Even players from Australia and Africa likely have more interest in playing games set in Europe and Asia than the other continents. You want to play a game without gods and the blandest cast in the entire franchise set in a region as niche as the Australian savannah? Go ahead.

The high fantasy/magitek elements that got me and many others interested enough to stick with this game are done and resolved for the most part. You cannot hope to carry me at least with the current writing direction combined with another repeat of Gyr Abania, a slog through a set of zones I cannot fall in love with the same way I did for the far east and Ishgard.

You say you don't care what I'm interested in buying, nor am I interested in sticking through an expansion that is catered around virtually nothing that catches my interest. Whether you choose to deny it or not, Ishgard is responsible for giving players like me a home, Garlemald is responsible for giving players like me an antagonistic force to be interested in, and the Final Fantasy Australia game you seem to champion is in no way equivalent to a world as rich as Spira, it simply cannot be with the current way of handling such locales.
