Explorer Mode: Please add Jeuno

The Jeuno raid was so much fun, so much attention to detail and a dream come true for an old FFXI player. So thank you FFXIV dev team for that.

I would really like to see this alliance raid (and the older ones of course) be added to Explorer Mode so we can explore Jeuno, the Bohyada Tree and Sky and take lots of screenshots.

I would appreciate lots of likes so this topic could gain some attention. Thanks everyone. :)

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. And please leave the notes in to be read as well!

I've honestly wanted this feature for awhile. Getting to go through the alliance raids to take pictures would be lovely. Honestly? Having a photo studio for any raids/trials you've completed would be excellent.

I'd also like if The Dead Ends (90 dungeon) had the option to take pictures before the 'boss defeated' state. The area is gorgeous and going into explorer mode robs us of that ability :<

Seems like such a huge waste given that they have the biggest locations to actually explore, and some of them would be desired sightseeing for fans of the games they're based on (like Final Fantasy Tactics, Nier, and now Final Fantasy 11).

The Copied Factory and the Puppet's Bunker can be entered without a party, although you can't use some Explorer Mode features, like riding mounts or placing a striking dummy. There are some data logs for the Collection tab that you can pick up, though.

Since the party finder won't let you queue into an alliance raid without at least one person in each of the three parties, I suspect there's something in its coding that likewise makes it impossible to go in there by yourself.

Same for PVP maps – I'd love to explore those.

I don't think those are actually the raids, though – they're just field instances that look exactly like the raids.

Thanks everyone for your comments so far, glad to see others would also appreciate this addition. :)

I would love this as I am a FFXI player so would be nice to see all the lovely scenery :)

Time to give this a bump. :)

I would like this for all the Alliance raids too. At least Nier had a little side quest that let you go back in the different areas to collect notes and such. Jeuno having its own little hub is nice, but it would be better to have the whole raid areas able to be explored.

I’d also like to be able to choose the environment for stages where the battle changes the arena. Specifically give me the last platform of Thaleia, the way it looks before the boss is killed!

Thanks for those who have supported the thread so far, time for the weekly bump. :)

The Nier Raids exist as overworld instances that you can walk through. At least, the first and second one do. ARR, HW, SB, EW, and now DT don't.

Yes please! This raid brought back loads of nostalgic memories of 2002-2008ish. Anyone from Seraph?

Those melancholy nights in lower Jeuno. . .

they could do like they did with the two first nier raid that allow you to enter after it is done but for all raid because even endwalker have some nice place or have a time show for some dungeon(last of 6.0)

That one was a nice surprise, especially that it's a shared hub and not just a solo instance, hopefully it gets expanded with the later alliance raids.

Surprisingly I hadn't considered that. Though I wonder if it's a way to ensure certain mechanics can be resolved, like the Ivalice water canals needing each alliance to interact to unlock the path.

Explorer mode for all Alliance Raids would be so lovely to be implemented, and if really not possible, giving the other alliances an equivalent to the Nier Overworld Map would be a next step help to allow Some exploration and gpose sposts

Most likely the environmental mechanics would already be completed, the way they are in regular dungeons in Explorer mode. Things like the falling boulders in places like Mt Gulg or the Heroes' Gauntlet, or the sky at the end of the Dead Ends.

I tried to do exactly this shortly after finishing the questline and was surprised to see you couldn't enter via explorer mode. It's pretty disappointing, but you can use your Return spell once the raid is over to go back to the start if you really want to look around, though that's definitely a lot more inconvenient of a process.

Before sub forum privileges goes away I'll bump it lol. Idk why we have to do it the long way.

Been hoping they would add this feature for a long time because I use to love exploring the Ivalice raids and taking pictures. It's such a chore to sync or unsync run them if all you want is to take pictures, and not having the explorer mode options like the striking dummy, mounts and minions limits the options too.
