While still being an open-world, I want remarkable areas, numerous paths and roads, and very different terrains that are not all easily traversable and you actually need to explore and go around things.
Like if someone asks you where you got that Gastly, you could describe it like 'you know village X ? take the southern road, follow it for like 2km, a river will be on your right, follow it until you see a small wooden bridge, cross it, follow the path into the forest, at the first cross-road go left, after a few dozen meters the path will end, continue forward anyway, you'll see a shrine in the middle of a small clearing. If you go there in the evening, you'll see several Gastly."
That kind of things would feel like a real adventure and even like the anime, unlike "Teleport to West Province Area 2 and run around in circles near the tall grass"
