Well I've been hearing rumors about "Seamless Terrain" where one map is pre-loaded and HUGE. If want a reference, then Gods Eater Burst is a good example of Seamless Terrain.

Instead of all the areas being connected; they could be connected to similarities.

Valleys -> Forests -> Mountains.

Rainforests -> Marshlands -> Swamps

Jungles -> Ruins

Ashlands -> Ruins -> Volcano

Deserts -> Oasis
