Quests
Quests refer to the goings-on around a player that lend themselves to adventure on both a large and small scale. In FINAL FANTASY XIV, there are quests that focus on the main scenario in each of the major city-states, quests associated with each guild and its corresponding class, quests performing favors for the locals, and more. Quests are offered by NPCs when preliminary conditions are met, such as attaining a certain rank. These NPCs are easily recognizable by the presence of an exclamation point (!) icon above their display name. When you are near such NPCs, the same icon will also be displayed in that NPC’s location on the world map and minimap. NPCs offering skill points as a reward for quest completion will have a different color (!) above their names. The (!) icon will not be visible if names are toggled off under Name Display in the Configuration menu.

Viewing and Abandoning Quests
Quest details can be viewed by first navigating to main menu » Journal and then selecting the desired quest from the list displayed. The details screen shows Current and History sections, providing a brief summary of the task at hand and previous events, respectively. In addition, the Abandon option can be selected from this screen to abandon the quest.
* Main scenario quests cannot be abandoned.
* Quests cannot be abandoned during cutscenes or from within instances.
* Abandoned quests can be undertaken anew by speaking to the NPC offering the quest again.

Path Companions
When taking part in the main scenario quests that become available from level 18, you will be able to choose your own Path Companion. This NPC will accompany you on subsequent quests and also appear in related cutscenes, fighting alongside you in times of trouble, and aiding you in times of need.
The personality of the NPC will vary greatly depending on which combination is chosen. The following is a list of the nine different types of personalities available:

Path Companions Description
Midland Hyur Male A fine if somewhat conventional companion, possessing a strong sense of justice, an indefatigable spirit and…so on.
Midland Hyur Female A gregarious though slightly egocentric young woman. If you can put up with her, she won’t let you down.
Elezen Male Being a man wholly focused on his mission, this highborn fellow can seem rather curt, if not downright rude.
Elezen Female A studious sort with exemplary manners. Serious and trustworthy, as you’d expect, but possibly a little…stiff for some tastes. Still, if you loathe over-familiarity, she may be just the companion—sorry, colleague for you.
Lalafell Male It is said that a hero lies within us all. In the case of this rather sheltered young Lalafell, one might assume that the hero in question does so under his bed, hoping his harpy of a mother won’t think to look for him there. Will you be the one to coax him out?
Lalafell Female Does your world want for a wealth of wordplay and wit? An abundance of alliteration, assonance aplenty and a soupcon of sibilance to seal the deal? Well, you were warned.
Miqo’te Female A lady who knows what she likes, and likes a little bit of everything. Don’t be fooled by her coquettish manner and all-too-apparent charms; in her breast beats the fiery heart of a warrior. Not to worry, though, she’ll be gentle—assuming that’s what you like.
Roegadyn Male When the going gets tough, it’s often nice to have a big, earnest, slightly credulous friend around—and they don’t come much bigger than this straight-talking Roegadyn.
Highland Hyur Male Women, wine, war and women. Just four—alright, three of the things which tickle the fancy of this brute of a man. He doesn’t so much stand on ceremony as stamp on it until it stops moving.
