Explorer Mode: Please add Jeuno

[Buttons]

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 :<

Huh, I wasn't aware that Explorer Mode excluded Alliance Raids, but then I admit I've never used it.

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.

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.

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.

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