>it's even in the game's cover art
True, but it's not the focus of the cover, by any means. The main backdrop is the shrine area (presumably related to the psychic powers).
>The GF Research Facility was small
It's the game's Frigate Orpheon equivalent by any reasonable metric, not sure why you bothered to mention this.
>the Forest section looked small
As the anon who responded to you already said, there's nothing that really indicates the size of this zone one way or the other.
>people can see where this is leading to and have a right to be concerned for where this is going
To be honest, I share a lot of those concerns (even if I agree with the people saying it looks less like a full-blown open world and closer to The Great Sea from WW). I just think there are other things in that trailer that at this point are more interesting and haven't really been dicussed at all, which is lame.
