Eorzea was destroyed by a force of unimaginable power raining down from the sky. It is the dawn of a new age!
The Quest system was a gameplay feature of Final Fantasy Record Keeper, in force from the release of the full game on June 6, 2015 through February 18, 2016 (UTC), allowing players to earn rewards by completing objectives. This feature was succeeded by Cid's Missions, which ran from February 18, 2016 to May 30, 2018.
Overview[]
The Quest system was, for the majority of its existence, a variety of tutorial on how to advance in Record Keeper, with each quest representing a task that the player should complete in the course of normal play. Upon completion of the task, the player then received its associated reward item. Completion of certain Quests also unlocked other Quests related directly to them.
Certain Realm-related Quests, when accepted, also awarded optional Hero Records that may have been missed in previous events. If they were already acquired, the associated Hero Records would convert into Growth Eggs.
To access a Quest, the player had to start in the Main Hall and press the Quest button to call the list of Quests. Tapping the Info button on a Quest presented the player with a full overview of its objective. Tapping Accept would queue the Quest for completion. Up to five Quests could be queued at one time.
In total, there were 176 selectable Quests in the main game, plus approximately 20 Event Quests issued over the life of the feature.
