There was exploration in 10, and towns.

Auron was not bland by any stretch of the imagination.

"Exploration" in 10 meaning "walk the straight path through every area." Pulse has more exploration than the entirety of 10. If it wasn't for the stupid cloisters breaking up the monotony, 10 would literally be a straight line from point Besad to point Zanarkand. "Towns" is the pettiest complaint from people that can't think of anything legitimate. You spend just as much time in the towns you go through in the other game as you do any given town in 10.

Auron is one character amidst a cast of bland characters with bland presentation and bland personalities. The better game gives six characters development, growth, and actual character. Auron is the stoic 'badass' who only gets seen as the 'best' character because he's the only one that isn't a fucking idiot. "Oh he's a ghost such character"
