the thing about urqopacha is that the zone itself isn't, like, objectively enormous. afaict by comparing in-game maps it's about as big as any SHB or EW zones at least. the thing is that they're further and further refining whatever secret sauce is in the OOB parts of the map that make it look and feel like a much bigger space than it is, along with the scale of vegetation and stuff next to the player.
i was bitching about this back when they added flying to ARR areas, bc it highlighted something interesting about OOB/skybox design in different xpacs: ARR areas were designed without flight in mind, so they had these big OOB vistas stretching off into the distance, under the assumption that you could only see them from certain angles and the illusion would hold forever. then HW rolls in with flight, and if you fly straight up in the dravanian forelands in particular you'll notice something interesting - the whole zone is bounded in by mountains that you can't see over, they seem to have felt like they couldn't just leave an open cliff and an invisible wall because flight would break some kind of illusion there. it creates this fishbowl effect that makes the zone feel very small. the same thing happens in a lot of SB zones too.
at some point they gave up and admitted that invisible walls are fine actually and that was definitely for the better in terms of how maps look. when SHB came out i was gushing about the way rak'tika was done to feel Oh Shit Big despite being flyable, and when EW came out i was gushing about those zones too. there's still a difference in scale between overworld maps and the sense of space in dungeons and other instanced areas (i just did the first DT dungeon. that was fantastic shit) (pvp onsal hakair big fucking grass OOB i shake my fist and cry forever) which is entire ly because they only have to make a certain area traversable and have this massive massive OOB canvas to paint on. overworld areas are a trickier balance because they need to feel big but can't actually be that big for technical reasons and also have to not be infuriating to run around on when you have minimum mount speed.
but i'm repeating things i know i've said before. anyways. 2 out of the 2 dawntrail zones i've seen so far have had a really really good feeling of space due to clever use of OOB space and elevation in urqopacha, and good vegetation size/density creating just the right sense of scale in kozama'uka.

i wish i could leave my bedroom door open so i could have some sort of crosswind through the house between the front windows and my shitty window
but everyone in this house has bizarre sleep schedules and that would mess with Mine. my old man wakes up at weird hours sometimes to use the bathroom and yell at family trying to call him at 2am. my niece's man gets up to go to work at like 3-4am. sometimes my bro escapes his man cave and will use the kitchen. this would just shine a light into my room every hour of the night ;/
*i definitely have a sleep schedule its been weeks i cant use jetlag as an excuse anymore
