Dungeons are never, never useless, just greed everything there, change it to grand company seals in your grand company, change the seals for retainer ventures, you can do very interesting stuff with them.
MQ is always cutscenes and going from one place to another with the occasional dungeon, it's been always like this...
You, sir, are the only person who has posted something helpful. Thank you!

I did not know that there would be gameplay between the story in HW. Thank you thank you.
