Yeh, thought that is all mod kits did. With how the game is made story wise, probably will be more of a waste of time.
About exploring the world after the game ends. There was a sega game called Sword of Vermillion that allowed you to walk back to your home town after you beat the game. Of course it was a very linear game where you had only one path to go and it took 15 minutes to wander all the way back home. Also all monsters were dead so you didn't have any battles. Some players I've read named themselves "kong" to be called King Kong by the villagers at the end of the game.
I think there were a hand full of old games that did that now that I'm thinking back. Thinking back that far is scary, spiders don't even make webs that far back any more *shudder*.
