Missions (Final Fantasy XIII)

Missions in Final Fantasy XIII are quests that give the player party a target monster to defeat. They are found on the world of Gran Pulse, and can be repeated. Cie'th Stones will divulge the information about a certain monster that must be destroyed and there are 64 missions in all, some of which are overseen by the fal'Cie Titan.

Some of the Cie'th Stones also have special properties:
 * Waystones serve as teleporters when the missions are completed, allowing travel to other activated waystones.
 * Palings emanate road blocks which dissipate when the missions are completed.
 * Menhirrim are statues in Taejin's Tower whose missions must be completed to advance the story.

The toughest missions are battles against The Undying which normally have a specific effect on the area in which they take place.

Re-taking missions is nearly essential for obtaining the achievement L'Cie Paragon that requires one to finish all missions with a 5-star rating. Other achievements obtained by completing missions are the Kelger's Cup for completing all D-rank missions, and Xezat's Chalice for completing all mid-level missions.
