    The maps is another content that I do not mention because again, it is content that has no interaction with the map, you could perfectly do it in the city or in a closed place and it would have the same impact, you could put a blank map without finishing and not there would be no difference.
    How can you say it doesn't involve doing something in the map, when you need to go to the map to find the objectives?

    Do you want a reason to revisit places, or does it not make any difference whether you go there or do activities in an empty box?

    The argument seems to be "there's no content in the open world because I don't count any of the things you can do in the open world as content".

    First read my post before answering because it seems you skipped everything I said about Fates, S Ranks and Log.

    Alright, so you count some of the things in the open world as open world content - which I did see but it was going to get too wordy to address.

    My point remains. Why should an A-rank mark not count as content even though an S-rank does, just because you don't have to complete a specific gimmick to spawn it? You still have to get out there in the field zone and search for it.

    One requires you to learn and remember, then you get the thrill of knowing you spawned a S rank.
    The other you just turn off your brain and circle the map until you find it.

    It's engagement.

    Because the game has a day and night system, we have a weather system, we have a hour system that affects the map in certain content.

    An A Rank does not interact with any of these systems that make a world alive, the S Ranks have many conditions and many of those do interact with these systems. When Odin appears on the map all the weather changes makes the world feel alive, when the boss appears in Dravania Foreland all the weather turns red warning that something is wrong on the map and I can continue to name content that interacts with the world.

    If the drop of the maps were affected by the map where they are obtained, the weather, the time would consider them but like the A Rank, it is only traveling from point A to point B regardless of absolutely anything.
