What is the point of Overworld in the game?

There's a reason most people sit in the hubs. I know it might hurt you. Maybe after you play few other games like ESO or GW2 from the same game genre you can see how lifeless and empty our zones are

Let me introduce you to PSO2, the MMO that is a chatroom with a game attached to it...

Jokes aside, would like it if there was a little more to do than fates/gather, tbh. A lot of the overworld feels unexplored, and even then if you gather, you're mostly flying the same 2-3 nodes anyways.

BTW, I've played ESO before and never felt the exploration vibe either, but I also never got too far into it (maybe like level 30 at most), it just kinda felt like I was just doing side quest/main story with very little else to do other than the crafting, but this was back in 2019 so my POV is probably wrong and dated lol. At most the exploration was just finding books/those crystal things I can't remember the name of
