Just ran through restarting the FFX Gillionaire with Agent0042 and he's given me the go ahead to start it. If you didn't get involved with the previous one, here's how it works.

Previous Players:
DreinIX - 0 Gil
RenaissanceInBlood - 0 Gil

15 questions, each one worth a different value of virtual money. As the money increases, so does the difficulty of the question. To help you reach that virtual million, you have 3 life lines:

50:50, which removes 2 wrong answers from the board
Search the Internet, allowing you to scour the communal knowledge base for your answer
Ask the Experts, a team of specially selected people who feel they have the required knowledge for the game.

There is also a time limit on giving your answers. If you do not answer within 24 hours, you forfeit your place on the hotseat, thus, opening the game for other players.

If you would like to be on the panel of experts, please PM me, and I'll add you, I'm looking for about 3 people.

The Gil Ladder looks like this:

1 Million
500,000
250,000
125,000
64,000
32,000 <-- Milestone here
16,000
8,000
4,000
2,000
1,000 <-- Milestone here
500
300
200
100

There's one player in the hotseat at a time, and to get there, we play Fastest Finger First, in which the first person to post the correct answer to the following question gets to go for the virtual Million Gil.

So, are you ready?

Here's the question:

Put the following bosses into the order in which you fight them:

A) Seymour Flux
B) Evrae
C) Sinspawn Gui
D) Kimahri

DreinIX

1 - Kimahri
2 - Sinspawn Gui
3 - Evrae
4 - Seymour Flux

Correct DreinIX, you're in the hotseat!

Right, here's your first question for 100 Gil:

How many nameable (i.e. you can set their name) characters are there in the game?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 7
D) 9

I think only Drein is allowed to answer.

Zak is correct, only DreinIX can answer. Other people, please read the whole post before posting. Unfortunately, you answered the question incorrectly DreinIX. The correct answer was A) 1. You go away with nothing.

Okay, entry for the hotseat is now open again.

Place the characters in the order that they become useable:

A) Yuna
B) Tidus
C) Rikku
D) Wakka

RenaissanceInBlood is correct and is therefore in the hotseat.

Alright, your first question for 100 Gil:

EDIT: Question changed, as I think it's now too difficult for 100 Gil.

What is the name of the planet Final Fantasy X is based on?

A) Gaia
B) Earth
C) Spira
D) Terra

DreinIX
07-02-2008, 09:05 PM
Unfortunately, you answered the question incorrectly


Funny thing. For some reason unknown to me I had Final Fantasy 8 in mind while answering... :)



You go away with nothing.


I don't think it's mentioned in your first post so, does that mean that I can't enter again if someone makes a mistake?

TM

Tough luck Drein, also nice to see this back after nearly a years absence :)

UltimateFFFan
07-02-2008, 09:20 PM
If someone makes a mistake, you can enter again, however, you cannot enter from where you left off. Say for example you get to 1000 Gil, and leave then, you have to start from the beginning again.

EDIT: Thanks The Master, I've been lurking for about 3 months now, and I've got 3 months of nothing to do thanks to the Uni holidays, so I thought I'd get it started.

It's now been over 24 hours since the question was updated RenaissanceInBlood, thus, you forfeit the game, and go away with nothing. The hotseat is now open again for people to play.

Fastest finger first again:

Put these places in the order you visit them:

A) Besaid
B) Luca
C) Kilika
D) Zanarkand

DreinIX
07-04-2008, 09:45 PM
A) Besaid
B) Luca
C) Kilika
D) Zanarkand

Zanarkand
Besaid
Kilika
Luca

Although I sense this could be a trick question cause technically you don't visit Zanarkand at first - you're already there when you begin.

Zak
07-04-2008, 09:56 PM
Just in case, I'll enter saying

Besaid
Kilika
Luca
Zanarkand

Also it's not really Zanarkand, it's dream-Zanarkand

Zak is right! Unlucky DreinIX.

Okay Zak, you're in the hotseat, and you have the chance to play to 1 Million Gil. 15 questions stand between it and you, and to help you get there you have three lifelines, 50:50, Search the Internet and Ask the Experts.

Your first question for 100 Gil:

You recieve the Valefor Aeon at which temple?

A) Remiem
B) Kilika
C) Macalania
D) Besaid

You have 24 hours from the time of this post to answer.

I would like to interject for a quick second, but isn't "Scour the Internet" kind of an unlimited lifeline? I mean, who's to say he isn't using it on his own time in between answers?

Technically, this alone nullifies all the lifelines. Just sayin'...

DreinIX
07-04-2008, 10:41 PM

This is true, but what's the point in playing if you're just gonna cheat? Proves you know nothing.


D. Besaid.

You're absolutely correct, you've won 100 Gil.

For 200 Gil:

What is the levelling up up system called?

A) Peer Grid

Why should we care? All he'll get if he wins is 5 second of glory reading "YOU'VE BECOME A GILLIONAIRE!" and then it's on to the next contestant.

Of course it's still pretty lame to cheat but there's not much we can do to stop that, if he's cheating, he's cheating no one but himself.

I'm starting to think that people aren't paying attention to this thread once they get in the hotseat.

Zak, you go away with nothing.

Fastest finger first (again....)

Olde is correct! You're in the hotseat, and have 3 lifelines to help you get to that virtual million Gil.

To double the length of this thread, UFFF is required to reply to answers with "Is that your final answer?" and the person in the hot seat must then reply with, "Yes, that is my final answer."

UltimateFFFan
07-07-2008, 10:29 PM
That would triple its length...

Anyway...

Well done Olde You've won a hundred Gil!

For 200 Gil:

What are the names of the 2 Ronso you fight on Mt Gagazet?

A) Bill and Ben
B) Biran and Yenke

UltimateFFFan
07-07-2008, 11:22 PM
Well done, you're absolutely correct!

You've got to the 300 Gil question, without having to use a lifeline, so for 300 Gil:

A) He can cast Black Magic
B) He can cast Protect
C) He can hit flying enemies with ease
D) He has Break Damage Limit

Olde
07-07-2008, 11:32 PM
I believe that answer is: C) He can hit flying enemies with ease.

To double the length of this thread, UFFF is required to reply to answers with "Is that your final answer?" and the person in the hot seat must then reply with, "Yes, that is my final answer."

I would say start doing that after the second checkpoint.

Guys, I appreciate the fact you're following the thread, but can we keep comments to a minimum, thanks.

You're right again Olde! You've won 300 Gil!

Your next question for 500 Gil:

What is the maximum number of S. Levels (Sphere Levels) a member of the party can have (without using a cheat CD or the like)?

A) 1
B) 42
C) 255
D) 99

07-08-2008, 07:07 PM

UltimateFFFan
07-27-2008, 08:17 PM
Hi guys, sorry about the lack of updates, not had an internet connection for ages.

On topic, you're correct Olde. You've won 500 Gil.

Now this is the last point at which you could go away with nothing, so make sure you've got the answer 100% correct before you answer.

For 1000 Gil:

According to Auron, who are the Omega Ruins named after?

A) A fallen summoner named Omega
B) A secret Fayth
C) A banished monk named Omega
D) A fiend so powerful that it became an aeon

Olde
07-29-2008, 02:14 AM
hm, kind of torn between A and C. But from what I can remember, I believe the correct answer is:

C) A banished monk named Omega
