Missions

Missions, also known as Quests, are an important aspect of several Final Fantasy games.

Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-
Missions exist in Crisis Core, mostly, as a series of side quests and small battles that can be completed to gain more powerful accessories and materia. There are only a few missions in the beginning of the game that must be completed which function as the game's tutorial. After the tutorial, the mission screen can be pulled up at any time. New missions become available when a player checks a Save Point if there are any available. More missions will become available the further along in the main plot line a player advances.

Extra Mission

Final Fantasy X-2
Each portion of the plot as well as each side quest in Final Fantasy X-2 is presented as a mission. The system will even inform the player that it is "Mission Time" by flashing it across the screen. The system does not inform players whether they are participating in a side quest or actually advancing the plotline so it is possible to missions in such an order that one inhibits his ability to gain 100% completion.

Final Fantasy XI
Missions refer to a player's advancement through a particular storyline in Final Fantasy XI. These are substantially different than Quests aside from the fact they appear in a different menu; Quests under Quests, Missions under Missions. Missions are sequential and much more involved, including many intricately modeled cutscenes replete with dialogue. Quests generally are not terribly involved, and have minimal prerequisites.

In the original game, there are three main storylines each corresponding to one of the starter cities: Bastok, San d'Oria, and Windurst. With the Rise of the Zilart expansion, players could take place in the storyline separate from their involvement in any of the prior missions (to a certain extent), revolving around this ancient race. Chains of Promathia, Treasures of Aht Urhgan, and Wings of the Goddess each subsequently offer players additional missions.

Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
Missions in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings are divided into Storyline Missions and Side Missions. They are the main gameplay setting of this title, aside from Monster and Summon Melees.

Final Fantasy XIII
Missions are available on the world of Pulse and can only be initiated by activating Mission Crystals scattered across the landscape. There are 64 missions in all, some of which involve the oversight of the fal'Cie Titan.

Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
In the PSP remake of Final Fantasy Tactics, new multiplayer content was added, including a series of fifteen missions that can be played co-op with another player. Each player gives a certain number of characters, and together they fight a battle against the computer. These battles are all optional, and lost items, gil, or dead characters are not permanent, but the treasure found is.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
As Marche, the player takes up a Mission Request at the pub for a select fee. This is to either advance a plotline or obtain items for other Missions that request them. Missions are divided into three types: Story missions denoted by the "sword" icon, Dispatch missions denoted by the "parchment" icon, and the Clan battles denoted by the "blue horned head" icon. There are also Turf battle missions denoted by the "white flag" icon. Clan and Turf missions cannot be canceled.

Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Like Tactics Advance, the player (as Luso along with Cid) chooses a mission from the Pub's Roster. There are about 400 missions to be completed, 293 of them appearing in the pub's roster, and some of them appear after certain mission are completed or after a certain character has joined the clan. Seven missions will not appear in the roster, but instead they are begun by reading the correct notice at the pub. These missions are specific to Adelle and her Heritor job ,while the other 100 are completely optional, meaning they won't appear in the Mission count. The Clan Trial Missions also don't enter in Missions count either.
