Not just Final Fantasy, a lot of RPG games have sidequests that have no direct involvement with the main story but need to be done in order to progress.
At least they are somewhat rewarding in the form of experience points, gil and occasionally a useful item here and there, so I don't really mind fetching some cheese and wine to loosen some tongues.
