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.
