Quests for NieR Replicant are the different tasks that follow the adventure of the Protagonist. Just like any ARPG, quests are usually divided into two categories which are Main Quests and Side Quests. Main Quests focuses on the plot of the game and it further advances the story until you are able to reach the end, Side Quests, on the other hand, are optional tasks that are usually tied to the supporting features of the game such as the lore and NPCs.
Completing a quest usually unlocks certain features, such as new locations, information to the lore of the game, but the highlight of it all is acquiring various rewards that can aid the player throughout their journey. This page covers a list of all the quests featured in NieR Replicant.
Nier Replicant Side Quests
Upon finding out about the Song of the Ancients from Devola and Popola, NieR will receive a prompt to start some quests.
Some Villages may ask you to perform jobs for them. To view any such requests, open the menu then choose the Quests tab
NieR can then decide to take the time to do some side quests for rewards or continue to progress in the story. Most NieR quests begin in the Village or the Seafront, but a few quests take place elsewhere.
Quest availability will be indicated with a "speech bubble" marker above an NPCs head.

The quest "The Promised Gift" is also missing for Seafront in act 2. It starts at about 25% of act 2 and has a cut-off point at about 50% (I'm trying to avoid spoilers here).
