Exploration mode in dungeons

[Neri]

Kinda like Nier raid? Only available once though.

When I think we kinda need it is in all contents where they place side story texts we can't read in party since players always seem to be in a hurry (Orbonne serie, Gubal, for example).

Well the dungeons are considered cleared out in the context of the story so what harm is there in going back for a wander? It's not like any beastie is there to stop me.

I think this would be a neat idea for dungeons & raids. Yes I know that technically, at least dungeons, you can go exploring after clearing out the dungeon (raids not so much). Generally speaking once done they are considered "cleared", unless they get a 'Hard' mode in which case they are not, but once 'Hard' mode is done they are considered cleared again.

So would be a nice feature that if you had the ability to toggle "exploration mode" in options, where no monsters would be - but also no chest's, no loot, no xp, etc. Let you do it solo or find a group of others. With the only requirement is that you have "cleared" the dungeon/raid before hand (and Hard mode if applicable).

You already sort of have this, in that after you clear a dungeon, you now have until the time of the original duty expires to go back and explore before getting kicked.

it would definitely be nice to not have to clean out all the monsters first though!

I do that occasionally if the place looked interesting on the first run through. Assuming it's one where you can backtrack.

[StriderShinryu]

Definitely something I'd like to see added.

Using "Return" will bring you back to the start of any dungeon and I cant think of a dungeon right now where your progress would be blocked from start to finish - so, if you want to, you can explore every dungeon from start to finish once its cleared!
