There are over one hundred Curiosities to be discovered, purchased, or reinforced in Final Fantasy 16 over the course of the story, through either the main questline or various side quests. While none of the Curiosities are missable, it should be noted that there is a point-of-no-return during the main quest “The Crystals’ Curse”. Even so, these Curiosities can still be acquired post-completion of the campaign using Stage Replay or free roam. This FF XVI guide lists all known Curiosities and where they can be found.
