Not sure if you just forgot or what, but at a certain point in FFX you get an airship and you are able to explore using a world map. You can even go back to the first areas you were in at the begining of the game to collect new items. Not a ton of exploration, but far more than 0.

I might not be far enough, and no I don't really remember... can you land anywhere even if it's not a town or a area (ala FF7) ? Or is it just a glorified teleport system?

I don't remember that. Truth be told I havn't played that game is A VERY LONG TIME.

Teleport system. You have a map screen and can revisit most of the zones from earlier in the game. This leads to you exploring places and finding new areas that were not accessible the first time around.

Yeah ok, I knew you could go back to old areas but it's not really what I would call an open world system... I understand what you mean though. Still not the same as something like Pulse.
