Missables: What to Finish Before Moving On
A cautious save-and-cleanup route where published references disagree.
Quick answer
Keep a manual save before leaving major story areas, collect Psyche rewards during Chapter 5 and finish Last Respite once available. Published references disagree about their later availability; a blanket “nothing is missable” claim is not reliable enough for a completion run.

The stolen Genji Gloves have a later recovery route
The Siren’s Tower theft is scripted. You cannot retrieve the gloves during that visit by repeating the tower or defeating the thief there. From Chapter 5, speak to level-40 Gilgamesh on the airship deck to begin Battle at the Big Bridge. Complete the Bomb self-destruction sequence and confirm the Genji Gloves reward. The later Genji Armor reward belongs to the next part of the quest.
For the route’s other fights, open the Gilgamesh guide. For the mountain’s optional paid ladder, check Lid’s shortcut decision.

The safe actions now
| Checkpoint | Action |
|---|---|
| Before one-time party dialogue | Keep a separate save; chosen stat outcomes are permanent. |
| During Fina’s Psyche visits | Collect the visible shards and chests before proceeding. |
| After Last Respite appears | Complete every step, including its final airship conversation. |
| Before a chapter transition | Inspect airship shop stock and buy wanted exclusives. |
| Before the final tower commitment | Preserve a pre-ascent save and review unfinished personal quests. |
Why sources disagree
AllThingsHow reports Last Respite and Psyche rewards can become unavailable. Resonance Atlas reports later Psyche access through the Tower of Mysidia book, and its trophy roadmap cites no missable trophies. These statements cannot establish one guaranteed outcome for every save and patch. They may use different progression conditions or source versions. We have not reproduced the disputed states.
If you already left
- Keep your current save intact.
- Check whether the Tower of Mysidia book offers the return interaction after the required story progress.
- Check Last Respite in the quest log and try its final airship conversation if the relevant character is available.
- Compare an earlier manual save only if the missing content remains inaccessible. Do not overwrite the newer save just to test access.
Trophies are not every collectible
A roadmap’s trophy claim does not prove every dialogue or shop item remains available. Likewise, a missed optional object does not by itself prove the entire achievement run is lost. Verify the exact objective you are pursuing.
