There are a lot of side quests in the Final Fantasy VII remake that some may feel tempted to skip: don’t. But if you do, there are a few, in particular, you really shouldn’t because of how they factor into the bigger picture. If you find yourself tempted by fast-tracking the game a little bit, here are the Final Fantasy VII Remake side quests you shouldn’t skip.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Side Quests You Shouldn’t Skip
Small disclaimer: We recommend you don’t skip any side quests. Some of them, especially the cat finding quest, are wholesome and add a sense of normalcy to a game that is shrouded in conspiracy and corporate takeover. Others provide unique insights into the world of Midgar, small pieces to a much bigger – and beautiful – puzzle. That being said, we know not everyone has the time nor the patience to 100% any game, so here are the absolute most critical side quests and discoveries during a turning point in the game where the stakes are much higher.
To reiterate though, we definitely recommend that you do your best to complete all discoveries and side quests. These are there to provide different perspectives of the game’s events while also adding a little levity in between major plot points. Full completion also will reward players with the coveted Platinum Trophy, which is a huge deal for those that like to leave no stone unturned.
