I still have things to finish off and I prefer to do this before finishing the game. The sky pirate captain has asked me if I am prepared for final battle.
If I say "Yes", can I still escape the tower and continue to explore the world?
Still explore after I have entered the White Witch tower

Yes, you can.
Even though the dialogue seems very final, you can enter and leave the tower at will, after a boss fight (which may be the reason they check with a dialogue that you are battle ready).
There is a 'point of no return' at the end of the tower that will force you to progress the story mode. However, exploring the tower to find items and bestiary entries will not prevent you from leaving the way you came in.
