SidequestsEvery late-game character sidequest named at the End of Time.
Not IncludedNew Game+ ending variants, exhaustive charm tables, and later-port dungeons.
First-playthrough safety
The main story is forgiving, but a few choices affect permanent rewards or party membership. The route places those warnings before the decision and names practical treasure before one-way areas change.

Missables without a spoiler dump.
The route protects the choices that open Fiona's sidequest, the permanently changing areas of Zeal, the Blackbird inventory recovery, the route into the Black Omen, and other consequential moments. Ordinary treasure is kept in proportion: missing a chest does not invalidate the promised story and sidequests.
