Suggestions for pixel art style games with larger maps to explore?

Hey!

I'm doing a bit of reasearch on the style of game I want to make. It will be an RPG, with a focus on exploration and interacting with the world. I'll be making it using pixel art (yes, I know, "another pixel art game!") and was looking to get a better understanding of how other games layout their worlds.

I really enjoyed all the old Final Fantasy games, but especially liked the way the worlds in Final Fantasy X and XII we're built. That "open world" but not really vibe. I've also really been into Stardew Valley lately. Another one that definitely feels out of left field here is Zenonia, you know that game that was on mobile phones for a long time? Yah, that's the kind of vibe I'm going for.

Anyway, here are the platforms I play on:

• Switch
• 3DS (i've got the shop you shouldn't talk about)
• Gameboy Advance
• PC
