Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Frankfurt, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
Drawn from this place
Video games whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Frankfurt as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
