Not to mention nothing was soloable, so it's not like you could just spend an afternoon exploring unless you wanted to die.

I thought it was pretty fun because of sneak and invisible (powders/oils and the spells) Nothing was soloable added to the danger because if you get caught, you're pretty much dead unless you're near a zone or really good at maneuvering. Like going from Sandoria to Jueno as a low level or mule was pretty fun. The way monsters aggro by sight, sound, true sight, and magic made things fun as well.
I didn't really care much about jumping or swimming most ff games didn't have them and it was still good. The maps were unique and have their own quirks.
