You can still go through Windy Cave if you're careful, most monsters in there are sound based. The fact that there's low-level crystal deposits in the back implies the devs expected you to make it to the back when you first get to Bionis Leg. More likely a lot of alternate paths in 3 will be restricted by field skill checks.
I do wonder if this is before or after Ethel attacks the party with Colony 4 because that looked like it took place in the Eagus Wilderness. Taion choosing a dangerous path simply because it's quicker would make more sense if Ethel was right on their asses meaning this wouldn't be the intro to Eagus. It would also mean one of the other paths could be blocked by Keves armies. I could see them doing stuff where the game just stops you and has a party member say "don't go that way we'll get caught!" like how Shulk refuses to go in Tephra Cave before Reyn is tasked to.
