Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I don't remember any FF game having a rat killing side quest even at the beginning of the game, let alone at the end after you've killed gods. Shit... I don't even recall FF having side quests at all until, like, 7 with the optional boss battles for powerful materia.
Killing rats is more of a western RPG trope.
The very first thing you do as Vaan in FF12 is kill rats. Old Dalan even calls you Vaan Ratsbane when you meet him.
Trails in the Sky definitely comes to mind. But if you browse Square Enix's catalogue, there's probably plenty that fulfill it. Final Fantasy stands out because it's a little less tropey.
