Are Side Quests Worth Doing?

Worth it for Leveling and Resources

FF16 Side Quests Worth Doing

Most side quests simply reward you with EXP, Ability Points, Gil, Renown, and various materials. These are resources that help with leveling, unlocking and mastering abilities, or buying, crafting, and upgrading weapons and gear.

Additionally, the Side Quests aren't difficult or long, as they're mostly fetch quests that have less than 5 objectives, so doing them is an efficient way to farm EXP, AP, and stay stocked up on resources that'll help you make Clive stronger.
