Great question which I will QT here.
It's accessible from the endgame. It will be triggered by entering your airship at a certain level. The scenario will start and you can go do it whenever you'd like!

Hell yeah, that sounds awesome. Will it be accessible from the endgame or is it woven into the story and requires a second playthrough?

Quartet is a brilliant JRPG. Better written than all the other non-Japanese JRPGs, and with Respectful Classical Turn-based game design. A lot of people don't even deserve it, but I ate that game with chopsticks as a kaiseki 16-course dinner.
Literally every single person I have recommended Quartet to has been like "what is that?"
Even my fellow JRPG Sickos have not had this game even remotely on their radar??? I was seeing tons of coverage about it when it came out????? What is happening?!!!!!!
Anyway play Quartet.

Clean, thoughtful experience that keeps the plot moving and the characters each pulling their own weight in battle!
One of the few games I feel accomplished everything it set out to do

Quartet by @somethingclassic.bsky.social
is a JRPG on the more serious side with great character dynamics and more adult themes. The real reason why you want to play it is actually the writing. If you like Final Fantasy 6 or Octopath you might enjoy this one.

Best storytelling
KCD2 has excellent writing in both main and side quests, winning this category.
Quartet got some of the best writing I've seen in an indie retro-inspired RPG, and Clair Obscur had a more ambitious story, but also more flaws in its narrative, ending 3rd.

Making a very late appearance in my games-of-2025 is Quartet, an RPG heavily influenced by the best 16-bit games -- I'm only about six hours in so far, but the story, graphics, music, combat systems all feel very strong.
