And nope.. i am not referencing to larger grass.. but more grass (probably smaller grass) that covers more of the ground than the larger vanilla grass. Due to it's smaller size and larger quantity it could perhaps have less range to cover but should blend better with the underneath texture.
As for better sprites.. i mostly talk about fire (of all sorts) and ice.
volumetric shadows should be subtle. What would be fantastic is if they were not limited too the sun and came off multiple types of light sources.
