@isomeri: Taiwan would be great but is almost certainly a no-go for a company as big as Microsoft. While MS being huge has advantages (such as the ability to subsidize Gamepass) it also means that China can easily pressure them even if Xbox doesn't have a big presence in China.
I wouldn't worry too much about realism or cities being too big. First of all I would rather have larger cities than they've had so far as a change of pace, and secondly...Forza Horizon is clearly not concerned with realism or geography. Look at Edinburgh in FH4. Tokyo or Osaka couldn't be that small but they could be very compressed, say the size of Paradise City in Burnout Paradise, and then some countryside around them with some variety, regardless of whether it's realistic at all.
Don't get me wrong, Hokkaido would be great, I just don't think there are any particular limitations based on real world concerns. Forza Horizon is a fantasy game.
I also think that India would be an interesting location, and it's far less represented in video games than Japan so I think that would be a cool opportunity for some urban driving.
Of course what we all actually want is a Forza Horizon set in North Korea using only cars that are authentically available in North Korea. If we can't get a sequel to Pyongyang Racer we should get the next best thing!
