    Default Timing/Story specific side quests?

    Are there any side-quests that must be completed at or by a certain point in the game or else they will be missed? I'm thinking about playing through again and this time I might play just the main story portions to give the plot a little more heft (and I will be able to remember what the hell was happening before I spent 10 hours doing hunts). Of course, I don't want to miss out on any more side quests than I have to. Then, at the end of the game, I can go back and do all of the side quests.

    Not really. Unlike XIII, pretty much all side quests can be completed just before end-game. The way it should be.

    Except July the spy, that has to be done at a certain time
    ...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.
    Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...
    Remember that well.

    I usually just went off on side-quests when my level became so bad I couldn't progress the story without dying 17 times every hour.

    Which happened more often than you'd think.

    Just flicking through the guide (which is really making me want to start up a new file) and under the "Help July the street ear" sidequest it reads -

    " This side-quest becomes available once you have obtained the dawn shard. It is the only one in the whole game which is time specific: you must complete part 1 before you defeat Judge Bergan at Mt.Bur Omisace."
