It's a very common sight to see Ficus species with lots of aerial roots in the tropics. Here only certain species of Ficus will produce lots aerial roots.

It seems to be a function of humidity--Ficus almost never produce aerial roots here in the desert.

Tugbrethil:

Yes, it's all about high humidity and how rainy the climate.
