    I don't know a lot of sad quests, but the few I do know end up being happy in the end. My greatest example of a cop-out was Thancred. The story would have been better with him if he was a flat out villain not mind controlled. I don't wanna see that done with Edda, that would be boring.

    Well, off the top of my head: There's the time The Waking Sands gets infiltrated and they kill most of the Scions. Haukke Manor, the guy sends us in hoping we can save his mistress but we end up having to kill her. (Not to mention the whole back story to that dungeon is just plain creepy) The first time we face Ifrit there are a bunch of innocent people who are 'tempered' and we are forced to kill them because there's no known way to reverse the processes. Throughout most of the story people are being kidnapped and murdered to help summon the primals.

    This is not to mention the MULTIPLE instances and implications for Rape in the story - not least of which is the Arcanist storyline.
