With the release of the much anticipated Final Fantasy 16 you may be playing the game and wondering if there are Side Quests? If so, you have come to the right place as throughout this page you’ll learn about when you can unlock them, what rewards they offer and if they are missable.
You can find any active Side Quests by looking at your Journal.
How To Unlock Side Quests in FFXVI¶
There are 76 Side Quests that can be found whilst exploring 
Valisthea, but you won’t gain access to them until you reach the Hideaway which takes place during the 16th Main Quest Hide, Hideaway. You should reach this point in about 3 hours if you’re starting the game from the beginning, but for those continuing on from the demo, then you should get there in about an hour. However, here you’ll gain access to the first two which are Make Do and Mend and Food for Thought.
Unfortunately, you still won’t start unlocking side quests more frequently until you start reaching the more open areas in the game, such as 
The Imperial Province of Rosaria which you should reach in a couple more hours of gameplay. From this point onwards you’ll want to regularly open up your map and check for any green markers to see if any Side Quests are available.
Are Side Quests Missable in Final Fantasy 16?¶

You may be really enjoying the main story and don’t want to do the side quests when they become available, so you may be wondering if any side quests are missable and will require another playthrough for the plat. Unfortunately, once you’ve completed The Crystal’s Curse Main Quest you’ll be locked out of doing any side quests that were available before it, so you’ll want to make sure you complete any available quests before progressing through the mission. However, any quests after this point can be done at anytime.
What Rewards Do You Get For Completing Side Quests in FF16?¶
As mentioned above there are a lot of Side Quests, so you may be wondering if they are worth doing. The good news is they are, as they reward you with a variety of things, such as 
Gil, EXP, Ability Points, and Crafting Materials which you can use to craft the 
Gotterdammerung Sword which is the strongest weapon in the game. Additionally, you’ll need to complete the majority of the side quests in the game, as it works towards increasing your renown which is required to claim all of your Patron of Whispers Rewards.
