Final Fantasy XVI – Side Quest Guide

Final Fantasy 16 Logo Final Fantasy XVI Logo

During Clive’s quest for vengeance, there will be 76 side quests that he can complete in Final Fantasy XVI. We’ll list each quest and cover where they can be found, when they can be started and what rewards you’ll receive from finishing them. Most, if not all of the quests are pretty straightforward to complete. If any of them require a little more thought or some helpful hints, we’ll include those under the table. You’ll know they’re there if the quest name on the table is a different color than the rest as it contains a link!
