Final Fantasy 16 is a massive game, jam-packed with quests for you to take on. As you might expect, there are many small or extensive main story and side quests that you can complete during your time as Clive.
All Final Fantasy 16 quests and The Chronicler trophy
From small fetch quests to huge, breathtaking Eikon fights, Final Fantasy 16’s missions are extremely varied and usually deep enough to keep your interest piqued. Many of the missions, specifically the campaign, are tied to earning achievements and trophies.
The Chronicler Trophy is earned by collecting all the other trophies, making it the hardest to get.
Below, I have compiled a complete list of all the main story quests and the side quests in FF16, so you know exactly what you’re up against when stepping into Valisthea.

Final Fantasy 16 point of no-return quest warning
After the Streets of Madness quest, you cannot go back and do any side activities until after you have completed the game. It’s essentially the point of no return in FF16’s main narrative. You can see exactly what chapter you’re currently on by going to the Journal tab of the menu.
Final Fantasy 16 side quest list
Next, we have the list for all 76 side quests in FF16. There is no way to tell when certain side quests will become available, as they are tied to story progression, but you can see which ones you have already completed or are currently working on by going to the Journal and scrolling over to the last tab.
All of the available side quests in FF16 are seen below. It is worth noting the list does not include the 32 Hunt Board quests, as those are a different type of quest. But these are all the side quests available in FF16:

As previously mentioned, most of the side quests are tied to story progression, so you won’t be able to take on all of them at once. Just go through the story, and more and more will appear.
If you forget about the point of no return and still have side quests left, you can complete them once you’ve finished the primary campaign. I was too wrapped up in the campaign and may have forgotten to do my side quests before the no-return point, but thankfully, they were still there once I’d finished the main story.
And there you have it, all of the main story chapters and side quests you can take on throughout FF16.
