I think another example would probably be Rustboro City in Hoenn

It's a city on the far west of the entire region and it's likely you'll only visit it once or twice. It's a big city, but it's not a port city like Slateport or Mossdeep City and there's no landmarks worth returning to other than for story events so it's mostly left forgotten.

Entire game of Dynasty Warriors 9. Faggot at koei could fill so much space with content. But sometimes its emptier than empty.

I also want to add that World of Warcraft in its heyday was the master of shit like this because Blizzard would often use distant parts of the map to dump NPCs and buildings for testing purposes that otherwise had no dialogue

I remember travelling along the coast reaching points where there's nothing but water and tall hills you can't climb, and eventually landing on a secluded beach with an empty house. There was no way too it other than swimming and wasn't considered remote in the context of the game but nevertheless was just one of hundreds of testing houses Blizzard put in remote places

Any out-of-the way detail, really.

Here's a shot of xenoblade 2, looking at the landscape through a generic hotel window. There are vistas meant to show you the landscape, but I found charm in being indoors and seeing it.

Too bad Blizzard made the entire world meaningless outside the latest raid tier. Hell even the new Mythic Difficulty dungeons are easier than leveling dungeons due to item stat bloat.

The Falls in GW1. It'd a huge area. The nearest outpost is Ventari's Refuge. It's a solid 40-minutes to an hour to get to the actual falls at the end unless you're using a running build and the titular falls don't do anything except give a small text prompt saying something like "this is a waterfall". The only two things of note along the way that I recall; a beautifully over designed statue of Balthazar that can take you to the Fissure of Woe, which is utterly useless as you've already been to the Temple of Ages by this point, and a mesmer boss close to the falls themselves. This means the only people who have any pressing need to go to the falls are poor mesmers who need to skillcap a very specific skill for their build, and they will need to take a full party to go get it, since you can't kill a boss with a running build they'll take a solid hour to get there and before Nightfall added heroes it probably took a lot longer.

I remember stumbling across this beautiful flower field in the middle of nowhere in JC2. As far as I remember it had no purpose, no quest led there, it didn't exist for any gameplay purpose, it was just a beautiful little glen in some mountains.

This forest in Shadow of The Colossus.

I was always disappointed that you don't fight a smaller Colossus in it.

Eh, I really liked dirtboarding down from the top of the hill to that stable, it lasted like 15-20 seconds but it was pretty fun to do.

It was very fun to find all of the stables too, although I found some about like 50-70 hours into the game because I would usually never follow the roads, thus, miss a lot of stuff/details that game had to offer.

My nigga. I also liked the small lake area before you fight Kuromori. I was never able to grab the fish though.

Another one I remember I liked was the location of one of the fruit trees which was next to a cliff that lead to the sea, can't find any images of it though. The view from that place was pretty comfy and it stuck with me till this day.

Also one of the save shrines that was in the middle of a valley of green, I remember saving there and staying there asleep for a good ten minutes just because the view was so nice. I think it was the ravine entrance.

The sea one i think that i know. A great view on that one.

This save point in your image was one of the first images that i saw of the game, and i rushed to find this lace as soon as i began to lay. It really adds to the view having all the light pillars lit when staying there.

Also, seeing the initial plains from inside the shrines always felt good.

It looks so peaceful.
