Final Fantasy XVI: Hideaway Side Quests

The Hideaway in Final Fantasy XVI is rife with Side Quests for Clive to complete. This area has over 40 Quests available to the player.

Many of the game’s quests are simple in nature, similar to those found in Final Fantasy XIV in fact. Don’t let the monster killing and item fetching deter you! There are quests that expand upon the lore and setting of Final Fantasy XVI! Even if that doesn’t interest you, getting some extra experience and some items doesn’t sound too bad, huh?

How to Find Side Quests

I recommend opening your area map with the touchpad when you visit towns like the Hideaway. You’ll see green quest markers indicating that there is a quest.

You’ll also see green quest markers on the main UI while exploring. These indicate nearby quests and some also indicate nearby quest objectives for already accepted quests.

NOTE: After certain story events some quests will disappear and be unavailable to complete. I suggest completing them as you go if you care. There are also certain parts of the story that prevent you from doing anything besides the main quest.
