Dragon Quest is all about side quests. Where do you think they got it from? The creator himself literally said it comes from Ultima. And early FF games also had a ton of them. Often the FF games from 1-6, the post game would be hours of side quests. Even fucking Chrono Trigger has a dozen side quests.

But here comes the exceptions. "Those aren't true sidequests because they don't fit my idea of a side quest. Also I never actually played the games so I don't know what I'm talking about."
