What is one thing you miss about old RPGs that isn't in modern ones?

I like the difficulty and grinding, I know not everyone likes grinding in a RPG but man it was always satisfying when you would finally beat that boss you were stuck on after grinding for a bit.

I miss the more open world exploring and freedom of travel with ships and airships. RPGs these days seem so stuffy.

I miss that as well too. There's lots of open world games, but you usually just end up traveling via other means. I loved the SNES era of Final Fantasy games, even though they were limited to what could be done controlling the airship in Final Fantasy VI felt amazing!

Nothing more fun coming across a very small town/cave to explore while flying or sailing around.
