{{split|Sidequest|Paralogue|reason=They are hardly similar aside from both being chapters and the use of 外伝 in Japanese. And even then, they are formatted differently in Japanese: Chapter 1x is 1章外伝 (Chapter 1 Side Story), while Paralogue 1 is 外伝1 (Side Story 1)}}
A '''sidequest''' (Japanese: {{hover|外伝|gaiden}} ''side-story'') is a type of optional [[chapter]] which debuted in {{FE5}}. Typically, a sidequest must be unlocked by completing certain objectives in the preceding chapter, is marginally more difficult than normal chapters from around the same point in the game, contains [[recruitment|recruitable]] playable characters not otherwise available in the game, has [[fog of war]] in effect and/or expands on the main plot of the game in different areas.


In the English versions of games with traditional sidequest chapters, the naming structure for sidequests appends an "x" to the number of the immediately preceding chapter; for example, [[The Pirate Isles|Chapter 2x]] would follow [[The Village of Iss|Chapter 2]]. The Japanese version instead appends the chapter number with {{hover|外伝|gaiden}} ''side-story''.
A '''side quest''' (Japanese: {{hl|外伝|gaiden}} ''side-story'') is a type of optional [[chapter]] which debuted in {{FE5}}. Typically, a side quest must be unlocked by completing certain objectives in the preceding chapter, is marginally more difficult than normal chapters from around the same point in the game, contains [[recruitment|recruitable]] playable characters not otherwise available in the game, or expands on the main plot of the game in different areas.


{{title|Awakening}}, {{title|Fates}}, and {{title|Heroes}} handle sidequest names somewhat differently: they have their own numbering scheme not interspersed with that of the main chapters, calling them '''paralogues'''. It is written as, for example, "Paralogue 2" in the English version (aside from PAL ''Awakening'', which says "Side Story 2") and {{hover|外伝2|Gaiden ni}} ''Side Story 2'' in the Japanese version (aside from Fates, in which they are unnumbered). In ''Awakening'' and ''Fates'', as paralogues are not tied to the storyline and can be played at any time, the criteria is not tied to a specific chapter.

In ''The Binding Blade'', each sidequest rewards one of the [[Regalia#In Elibe|legendary weapons]] of [[Elibe]]; the weapon obtained in the Chapter 20x variant the player didn't visit is in the inventory of [[Jodel]] when he is recruited in Chapter 21. All sidequests must be completed as part of the criteria to proceed to [[The Ghosts of Bern|Chapter 23]] and beyond to achieve the game's true ending; additionally, none of the legendary weapons, including the [[Binding Blade (weapon)|Binding Blade]], may be broken at that point.

{{title|Shadow Dragon}}'s use of sidequests is less conventional: here, sidequests are accessed by having a low number of units currently in the player's army, and are intended primarily to assist those struggling with the game by providing new playable characters, in the event that the player has already sustained severe casualties or has failed to recruit units. The final sidequest provides similar recourse in the event of failing to defeat [[Gharnef]] and obtain the [[Falchion (Archanea)|Falchion]], or in case [[Tiki]] died or was not recruited.

In ''New Mystery of the Emblem'', there are two sets of criteria for unlocking sidequests: turn number objectives and a set of unrelated alternate criteria. To enter a sidequest, at least one of these criteria must be met (for example, to unlock Chapter 6x in Normal Mode, the player must complete Chapter 6 in 24 turns or less ''or'' recruit [[Rickard]]). It is possible, of course, to meet both criteria but it is not necessary; one will suffice to unlock sidequests.

For the unrelated feature from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, see List of sidequests in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

A side quest (Japanese: 外伝 side-story) is a type of optional chapter which debuted in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. Typically, a side quest must be unlocked by completing certain objectives in the preceding chapter, is marginally more difficult than normal chapters from around the same point in the game, contains recruitable playable characters not otherwise available in the game, or expands on the main plot of the game in different areas.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade

In The Binding Blade, each side quest rewards one of the legendary weapons of Elibe; the weapon obtained in the Chapter 20x variant the player did not visit is in the inventory of Yoder when he is recruited in Chapter 21. All side quests must be completed as part of the criteria to proceed to Chapter 23 and beyond to achieve the game's true ending; additionally, none of the legendary weapons, including the Binding Blade, may be broken at that point.

Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

The Blazing Blade is the only game in which, if a side quest is unlocked, the player is given the option as to whether or not to proceed to it; in all other games, once a side quest is unlocked, the player is automatically sent to it.

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones

The Sacred Stones only feature a single side quest. Unlike the other games, the side quest is mandatory and features a different set of playable characters. In addition, characters will retreat on defeat.

5x: Unbroken Heart 5: The Empire's Reach Mandatory

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon

Shadow Dragon's use of side quests is less conventional: here, side quests are accessed by having a low number of units currently in the player's army, and are intended primarily to assist those struggling with the game by providing new playable characters, in the event that the player has already sustained severe casualties or has failed to recruit units. The final side quest provides similar recourse in the event of failing to defeat Gharnef and obtain the Falchion, or in case Tiki died or was not recruited.

Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem

In New Mystery of the Emblem, there are two sets of criteria for unlocking side quests: turn number objectives and a set of unrelated alternate criteria. To enter a side quest, at least one of these criteria must be met (for example, to unlock Chapter 6x in Normal Mode, the player must complete Chapter 6 in 24 turns or less or recruit Rickard). It is possible to meet both criteria but it is not necessary; one will suffice to unlock side quests.
