not even close. any more guesses?

forget to save?

alright, lemme rephrase the question. there is one thing u shouldnt do when u r about to face the 3 bosses at the end of pandemonium that is guarenteed to get a game over. what is it?

use Doomsday? iunno dude thats a pretty broad question =S

Forget to set the Insomniac ability to guard against Sleep? I seem to remember the Silver Dragon likes to put your party to sleep, and then proceeds to pound you into submission while your party is slumbering, so yeah, forgetting to set that status guarding ability is pretty deadly. Other than that, I have no idea.

equip the Aloha gear?

oh Enkidoh, you're thinking of the wrong part - he means fighting Deathguise, Kuja, then Necron.

No, he said Pandemonium, not Memoria/Crystal World which you're thinking of 7alentine, which also has three (different) boss battles in succession at the end.

The final part of Pandemonium at the very end of disc 3 has three successive boss battles, namely: Silver Dragon, Garland and Kuja, without any time to rest or save in between. Failing any one of these battles is game over. So my earlier answer is still relevant. :)

lol sorry my brain has been completely elsewhere lately...

actually, no. if u equip auto-reflect on all ur characters by the time u fight kuja, he'll use flare star over and over, causin u to pretty much instantly lose. free question.

Ah! That's right, I remember now. It's been so long since I last played FFIX I'd forgotten. :)

I can't think of a question at the moment either so I'll let someone else post one.

I'll give an easy one just to keep it going.

Which status/es can't be guarded against with abilities? (excluding 'Guardian Mog')

Zombie, Berserk, Mini, Death & Virus

there's one you're missing

I wanna say break, but I don't think thats correct.

Trouble?

thats the one.

impudent_urinal, aces, whoever posts first gets the question

No, he said Pandemonium, not Memoria/Crystal World which you're thinking of 7alentine, which also has three (different) boss battles in succession at the end.

The final part of Pandemonium at the very end of disc 3 has three successive boss battles, namely: Silver Dragon, Garland and Kuja, without any time to rest or save in between. Failing any one of these battles is game over. So my earlier answer is still relevant. :)

actually, enkidoh, none of the battles in the crystal world are in succession. after the first one, u still get control of zidane before the trance kuja fight, and after the trance kuja fight, u get to prepare whatever party ur gonna use to fight necron before the actual battle.

anyway, what is the item used to cure Blank of his petrification at Evil Forest?

lol aces you're getting confused with Memoria just as i was.

the item is Supersoft. whoever wants to ask the next question can.

um, no im not. i remember just about everything in the game. and that is correct. and as 7alentine said, its a free question.

Baku gets Doctor Tot's name wrong three times in his conversation with Marcus in Treno. What three names does he call him?

I think it's Toot, Ted, and Tootsie.

i think the first one is wrong and that it is Tut.

Nah, I think Agent's spot on :)

Yup Agent is spot on :)

I seem to remember him saying "Tut" as well... must have been all that pot i was smoking ;)

This should be relatively easy, but I don't think it's been asked before, so - who is paired with who when you visit the four shrines?

HAZZAHHHH~

Zidane and Quina (had to powerlevel Quina cuz I didn't use s/him much at all up until then), Garnet & Eiko, Steiner & Vivi, Amarant & Vivi.

sorry, but there's a mistake in there.

ROFL, omg . . . try Amarant and Freya xD

Yeah, okay, you're good now. Your go.

For the life of me I do not have a question to ask, so I'm gonna offer it over to whoever wants it :)

True or False; you always dig up the Chocograph pieces in a specific order?

false

correct, your go

what color is the Garnet stone and what eidolon does Garnet/Dagger learn from it?

Dark-red if I remember rightly (fittingly, as it's the common colour of garnets in real life), and she learns Bahamut from it.

just red, but good enough. ur go.

What is stated as being the favourite flower of Queen Brahne? (It should be pretty obvious if you think about it ;)).

Red rose?:)

Yep, that's correct (it was fairly obvious given she named her personal airship after them - Doctor Tot also mentions they were her favourite to Garnet at the beginning of disc 3).

Anyway, your go Szczepan. :)

Which random encounter enemy has significantly more HP than Ozma and can be considered tougher to beat, than the famous "round guy";) It can be fought repeatedly if certain condition is met.

only one that comes to mind is the master tonberry. and he's not tougher by any means.

Sorry, not Master Tonberry:)

btw FFIX has Master Tonberries? I remember only plain Tonberries...

no? it can't be the yan's then, they only have about 20,000 hp. and they're just as tough as ozma.

I've got to be honest, multiple Yans aside, nothing it close to Ozma in difficulty. But if we're going with most HP off the top of my head... Grand Dragon? I really don't know.

You're close, but that's still not it:D It's just one enemy, not a group.

What I am asking for was discovered in FFIX not so long ago and I am not the one who found this:) It's funny how nobody thought about that, for so many years since this game was released ( maybe somebody did but haven't shared this). It's not a glitch btw.

I am feeling generous, so I will give you 3 hints;)

1. You most probably met this monster, but were unaware how really tough it is.
2. This enemy bears a resemblance to Wild Saurian from FFXII, in a certain way;] But not by appearance.
3. Certain conditions have to be met for this battle to take place, as well.

Also, something that could be considered a hint is hidden in the question I asked.

Gave you so many hints... No more.

This seems odd, but only so many enemies have more hp than Ozma. And the only one I can think of that fits all your criteria is the Friendly Yan.

Correct:) Friendly Yan is the only monster of it's kind, that will not flee when attacked, but counterattack instead. With an attack that takes around 3000-4000HP to all and will use it all the time. Not to mention he has 255 def, mdef, evade and around 65000HP. Also, he's an infinite source of Rosetta Stones he will reappear when killed, but will vanish forever after he gets his diamond.

Ok, good job IU! Your turn.

actually, Ozma has over 65k hp. some other bosses do, too.

Ozma actually has 55,535 HP.

Szcz, you clever bastard.

Anyway, multiple bosses hit the MP cap of 9,999, but only one regular enemy. Which is it?

Ghosts, found in the underground facility in Dali if I remember rightly (and a few other places too). Funnily enough, they only have 118 HP to boot. :P

i'll guess the Hecteyes?

Enkidoh got it

How many airships were apparently built by Terra's lost civilization, which are mentioned in the records in Oeilvert?

It's extremely vague in my head but a pure guess is... 4?

pure guess for me as well. ill say 6.

Johnny got it - there were 4 airships stated as being built by Terra (the last one mentioned is actually the Invincible - presumably Ark was one of these ships originally as well).

Anyway, your go Johnny. :D

What race is referenced in Final Fantasy IX but is extinct?

The Mole People in Mount Gulug I believe.

Yep, correct. You're go. :)

Name the 2 plays mentioned to be written by Lord Avon.

Well, 'I Want to be Your Canary' is obviously one of them.

As for another one, that play that Lowell Bridges was performing in at the theater in Lindblum maybe? (Moogle Wannabe II I think it was called). But I'm grasping at straws here. :p

there was a 2nd play by lord avon? wow, had no idea...

Canary is the easy one. The other is the kicker. It's not hidden or anything, but you may not have come across it.
And no it's not the Lowell Bridges one.

This could be completely wrong, but it is called Shooting Star?

Close, but no.

Upon A Shooting Star. its found in Madain Sari.

I think aces has it, but just in case he doesn't, I'm going to try another guess - Wish Upon a Star.

It's Wishing Upon A Star and a first edition is found in Madain Sari.

Either Enk or Agent go.

Which Eidolon is apparently worshipped in Daguerreo? (Hint: it's one of Garnet's ones).

lol Leviathan

Yep, that is correct! :D The residents apparently refer to it as the 'water dragon god' or something though.

Your go. :D

True or False; Steiner's first name is Albert?

False, it is actually Adelbert.

correct, your turn

What is Devil's Bell and what does it do?

one of Catoblepas's moves, instantly petrifies you

Yep that's right :)

which blade-style weapons are green in colour? this means; Zidane, Steiner, and Amarant's weapons.

Orichalcon, Excalibur II and hmm not sure... Kaiser Knuckles?

first two are correct, missing 1 more weapon, and they dont count unless they are fully green (more than like 80%)

Dragon Claw?

see i was going to count the Dragons Claw, but its barely green at all so i decided it wasn't worth counting, hence the 80% or more comment.

Would it be Angel Bless then? Its blades are green if I recall.

yup thats all of them, you're up

Sorry Szcz, but I'll take it.
An easy one.
Who did Virgo kiss?

haha i know this one but i'll let someone else take it =P

EDIT: ok been like half a week, no-ones answered. Virgo kissed Scoprio.

I'm wondering... does Blank dates Ruby??

And I find they're so amusing to perform who wants to be canary to be like beauty and the beast.
U guys get it? Take a close look at Ruby, and then look at Marcus LoL

It's on you 7alentine

What food does Steiner discover he loves while exploring Lindblum?

Gysahl Pickles:)

correctumundo

Ok thanks 7alentine:)

Question about game clock. When you play for more than 99:99:99 the game clock resets to zero, but also changes color from white to red. After another 100 hours it resets again, but changes color to yellow. Next 100 hours and it's blue.

Question - which color does it take after another 100 hours?;P

green?

Nope:)

White again?

Or grey?

Blue?

how does anyone know this??? thats 500hrs of gameplay!

thats actually 400 hrs.

400-500.... I think at that scale it's the same hehehe

You're saying that's too much? I bet you guys never tried to attain highest rank in Tetra Master;P Eats both your sanity and time.

Nope, none of the answers was correct so far;) If nobody will get the answer in around two days I will reveal it and question will be free to whoever wants it.

uhmmm, orange?

You're saying that's too much? I bet you guys never tried to attain highest rank in Tetra Master;P Eats both your sanity and time.

Nope, none of the answers was correct so far;) If nobody will get the answer in around two days I will reveal it and question will be free to whoever wants it.

not many people bother with the card game that much, nor do they play for that long.

Yeah, seems so.

That color is purple. I knew it won't be so easy to just randomly guess :] Question is free now, to whoever wants it.

btw Interesting thing is that all those colors that clock changes into, are the same as materia types colors in FFVII. Red, yellow, blue, purple and green ( yep, green is another color after another 100 hours of purple). Maybe another reference or just coincidence.

ill take it.

How many eidolons have been shown in cutscenes throughout the game and what r their names?

Good question, okay, off the top of my head you see Bahamut, Alexander, Atmos and Odin.

I think Johnny got all of em

thats all of them. johnny's go.

Whilst Johnny provides a question, here's another for you all.

Which two bosses in the game can inadvertently kill themselves and what are the circumstances for why?

well, technically every single boss who has magic can kill themselves if you have Reflect :P
but yeah I guess one of them would be Hades with his Doomsday spell if he had little hp left, aaaaaaanndd.... can't think of the second one...

Ozma

well, technically every single boss who has magic can kill themselves if you have Reflect :P
but yeah I guess one of them would be Hades with his Doomsday spell if he had little hp left, aaaaaaanndd.... can't think of the second one...

Alright, away with the reflect technicality, my bad.

Alright, away with the reflect technicality, my bad.

haha yeah I was just messing around :P

Ozma can also die from it's Doomsday attack too, but only if you've completed the Friendly Monsters quest first - as Ozma is healed by Shadow elemental attacks (which is Doomsday's element), an effect that is removed by completing said quest.

Other than that and what was already said about Hades, I have no idea what the answer could be.

Black Waltz 3 will kill itself the 2nd time you fight it if Garnet is the last one standing.

I wasn't actually aware of the Hades one, but good answers all round!

Sorry guys, I didn't realise I answered correctly!

Question... okay, in the Festival of the Hunt, what characters appear in the competition that are also in the main storyline? One clue I'll give is that there are six.

Besides Zidane, Freya, and Vivi I remember Lani, one of theose triplet brothers and Quina under a different name all participate.

I'm very tempted to ask you to name the triplet brother but as you got 5 out of 6 I'll give it to you. It's Genero of the Nero brothers, and Quina is named under Strange Gourmand.


Your go :)

Sticking with the Hunt, the track Hunter's Chance appears on what 2 albums besides the OST?

I know the Black Mages did a rock arrangement on the second BM album The Skies Above, however as for the second one, I have no idea - it's not on the US single disc OST album release by Tokyopop.

I'm going to make a wild guess and say FFIX Piano Collections? (I'm probably wrong on that last one though).

Black mages was one. One more to go.

One of the Distant Worlds albums? Or maybe in Dissidia soundtrack?

Although it is indeed available as optional DLC for Dissidia 012 Duodecium, Hunter's Chance however doesn't appear in either Dissidia or Dissidia 012] OST CD albums, so in that case it shouldn't be included as part of this question.

It doesn't appear in Distant Worlds either (the new FFIX track for that was Prima Vista Orchestra.

the other one is Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.

There it is. Enk or aces go.

Enk can go. i cant think of anything at the moment.

Which Roman god appears in Alexandria Castle, and in what form?

Hint: the form he takes in FFIX is appropriate for his myth. ;)

If I'm not mistaken it's Neptune, it's a statue in Alexandria Castle, where you can "ride" it to acces Alexandria's Harbor

That's correct! :D

I was trying to be a smartarse and hoping someone would be tricked easily and say 'Alexander' - who of course was Greek not Roman. ;). Well done.

Your turn. :)

When in Madain Sari, Zidane tells Garnet the story of Ipsen; Ipsen had a friend who followed him on his journey. What's his friend's name? And what's his "famous line"?

I love this cutscene :3

Ipsen and his good friend Colin.

Ipsen: "Why did you come?"

Colin: "Only because I wanted to go with you"

A little unfair for me to answer since I asked this question way back on like page 4, but there it is.

ohhhh damn I didn't know, you go anyway hahah

Free question for whomever wants it.

In the excavating site that connects the Mist Continent to the Outer Continent, what Item do you need to give to the man to excavate at his site?

It's a Potion isn't it? A second cheeky guess is an Elixir, but I'm pretty sure it's a Potion.

It's a Potion. go ahead johnny.

Pop quiz!

True or False, Treno's cafe, Card Carta, is members only.

True. how about a question that isnt one of the Ragtimer's?

Erm sure, I thought it was a bit different, sorry if you don't like it.

What is the King of Burmecia's last line in the game?

much better. and i have no idea.

I'll keep it open for a few days :)

I've no idea either, but isn't it something like "I'm just happy I could see him" in reference to Puck?

I've no idea either, but isn't it something like "I'm just happy I could see him" in reference to Puck?

This isn't the right answer, but you're warm, it's to do with Puck :)

Okay the answer is "Wait, Puck! I have not seen you in ages!". The King of Burmercia says it when Puck runs off after Sir Frately.

I'll leave the next question open.

yeah I had absolutely no idea what he said, I knew it had something to do with Puck, but that was as far as I knew... anyways an easy one:
There's a scene in Disc 3 involving a love letter in Alexandria. Who are all the characters involved in this scene?

Well, I remember the love letter was written by Eiko to Zidane, but it ended up falling into Steiner's hands who thought it was from Beatrix, bringing those two together and leaving little Eiko heartbroken. I seem to recall Blank, Cinna and Marcus also appearing in that scene too, but I can't remember correctly.

In any event, I definitely remember Eiko, Steiner and Beatrix were the main people involved in it.

Don't forget Doctor Tot helped write it and Baku was the moment killer with his sneezing.

Enk along with Impudent made the question correct (althought Cinna wasn't in the scene, it was just Baku, Blank and Marcus from Tantalus), so either of you 2 have the next question

I think IU got more of the answer right than me. :p So if he wants, he can have the next question. :)

Alright then, what was the chain of hands the letter went through?
Bonus points for what the letter said.

Eiko, Baku, Steiner, Blank, Beatrix. i can remember part of the letter, but thats all i got.

Not quite right there aces. Try again.

It's Eiko/Tot, Baku, Blank, Steiner, Beatrix I think that's the correct order...

And the letter said something like "When your eyes shine as bright as the stars, I'll be waiting at the docks"
or something like that hehe

Again, close but no go. The docks line is right, first one is good, but not right.
Try again.

hmm. Eiko/Tot, Baku, Marcus/Blank, Steiner, Beatrix.

Nope. Try again. You guys have all the players, just the wrong order.

i got it now. Eiko, Baku, Beatrix, Blank, Steiner.

There it is. Go aces

in Pinnacle Rocks, how many Ramuhs do u need to find?

Isn't there five? One tells you the wrong piece, and four give you the four right pieces to the story.

thats it. go ahead johnny.

What's the name of the worker that you help with Garnet and Steiner at South Gate?

Part-time Worker Mary, I think that's what her name is. She ends up opening an item shop in any event.

Indeed it is, your turn :)

In keeping with the theme of names of NPCs:

What is the name of the artist who's studio is found in the Theater District of Lindblum (where Lowell Bridges hides out for a while trying to escape from obsessive female fans)?

Michael

That's correct!

Your go Melti. :)

Which characters are able to kill a Yan in a single move, and which attack(s) does each character need to use?

Vivi - Death, Steiner - Iai Strike, Dagger - Odin (must have Odin's Sword unequipped)

All correct, I also had two more in mind. I wasn't only thinking of instant death attacks, just any case where only one command is needed to kill the Yan.

I guess Zidan can kill it with Thievery if you stole THAT much (not sure if it goes beyond 9999 since I never really used it....), and I can't imagine any other, since Dragon's Crest, Doomsday, Frog Drop, Shock etc. all stop at 9999 damage.

Thievery is capped at 9999 so it is none of the skills listed above, although one of the characters who uses one of the above has something else that can kill a Yan outright :p

So it's aces turn?

nope. free question to anyone.

Quite an easy question, what's the name of the song that plays when you go against Beatrix?

Isn't it Sword of Doubt? I remember it playing in cutscenes with Beatrix, but I can't remember if it was also used in battle against her.

It was, Enkidoh. however, for the third time u fight her, the normal boss battle theme plays. looks like its your turn.

You're right Enkidoh, although after doing a bit of research it actually has been given three different names, the other two (less popular) titles are "Mystery Sword", and "The Wavering Blade". Your go :)

This should be really easy if you think about it. :D

What is the Four-armed Man's brother's name? (His name is revealed if you manage to get to the gateway in Memoria in under twelve hours and hence gain the Excalibur II, but, like I said, this should be fairly obvious if you think about it.) ;)

I believe it was spelled Enkidu which is one of the ways to spell it. From one of the first recorded stories in history about Gilgamesh's journey to find immortality. Along the way he meets Enkidu and they fight for some reason i think to a draw. So they become essentially brothers.

Also the origin of Enkidoh's name which I imagine is what he was going for.

That's correct! :D (although his name is spelled as 'Enkido' in FFIX, it means the same thing anyway ;)).

And you were also right on the origins of the name as well, including my own handle - I originally picked it out at random years ago from a FFV strategy guide in an old gaming magazine, and it's just stuck ever since. ;)

Anyway, your question IU.

Is the 'doh' part a reference to Homer Simpson? :)

Maybe... :P

Seriously though, that was how 'Enkidu' was translated in FFV as part of FF Anthology on the PSX - I believe it's a literal phonetic spelling in Romanji, but I dropped out of my Japanese classes so I have no idea if that's true or not. :D

Sticking with Gilgamesh. In Treno, what are the 2 items he drops in the ATE's in which you encounter him?

i believe one of the items was a Chimera Armlet. i cant recall him ever droppin a second item, though.

the other one is a Power Belt

That's both. One of you go.

i guess i'll take it. 3 part question. Who gets petrified in the Evil Forest, what was the name of the item that cures the effect and who goes to Evil Forest to do the deed?

Blank gets petrified.
Supersoft is the item can can cure him.
Marcus is the man who goes back there to save him. :)

yep. ur go johnny.

Link the jewels to the summons:

Ruby - Amethyst - Topaz - Garnet - Opal - Peridot - Sapphire

Ramuh - Shiva - Fenrir - Ifrit - Carbuncle - Bahamut - Atomos

Garnet - Bahamut
Peridot - Ramuh
Opal - Shiva
Amethyst - Atomos
Ruby - Carbuncle
Topaz - Ifrit
Sapphire - Fenrir

Spot on. Your go :)

since its been over a month after the last question, ill take it. how many bosses TOTAL do u fight against in Memoria?

5 if you count Hades.

nope. try again.

The four chaos guardians plus hades is 5. Anything after that is in the Crystal World which isn't part of Memoria.

hmm. didnt think about that. oh well. ur go impudent.

There are several places to play Tetra Master in Memoria. How many?

i know it, but im gonna wait for someone else to answer.

Three?

Nope, try again.

5

Your go aces

in Disc 1 after you get to Lindblum after the Black Waltz 3 fight, you can go to the Pinnacle Rocks if you exit the town. There is a chest in that area. Name the item that is in it.

Phoenix Down?

nope. try again.

it was an Elixir. free question.

Name 4 enemies that you can steal an elixir from.

Ark, Silver Dragon, One of the four guardians in Memoria (I can't recall which one exactly) and I think Quale as well.

Ark, Silver Dragon, One of the four guardians in Memoria (I can't recall which one exactly) and I think Quale as well.
To be specific, it was Krakens left tentacle. Your go feral

In Pandemonium, after speaking with Garland, Zidane gets into three fights with monsters and different characters help him in each fight. Which characters are with him in each battle?

Well, I seem to remember Eiko and Vivi were with him firstly, then Steiner and Freya, and finally Garnet at the end.

But I can't really remember exactly being the fact it's been ten years since I played through that. :p

Eiko and Vivi dont participate in battle as they're the first ones who get left behind. first group was Amarant and Freya, second group was Steiner & Quina and Garnet was last.

Correct Aces, your go!

enkidoh can have it. free question, otherwise.

Why was Zidane's name changed in the french translation?

Assuming that's the guy, your go Szcz.

Which building in Lindblum is the oldest?

The church hidden in the corner of the Business District - apparently it was there long before the rest of the city was built. One of the parishioners tells Zidane this if you speak to them when you first arrive in Lindblum in disc 1.

Correct :) Your go Enkidoh.

This is a silly question (and probably easy too), but, how many 'heads' does a Worm Hydra have?

One?

3?

Nope, and nope, I'm afraid. Try again. ;)

5?

Yup, that's it. :D Your go IU.

By the way, your avatar disturbs me... :p

Yup, that's it. :D Your go IU.

By the way, your avatar disturbs me... :p
Halloween should be disturbing, none of this daytime trick or treating crap.

Anyway, name 4 dragon-type enemies.

Grand Dragon, Dracozombie, Ironite, Serpion

Your go Melti

Name 3 enemies that can remove a character from a battle.

the troublesome Yan. dunno the other 2.

Yan, Zuu, and Tiamat

Yep all right, your turn feralanima.

Sticking with enemies, name three that use White Wind.

If I remember rightly, Griffins, Zus and Zemzeletts all use White Wind (I know Quina can learn the spell from them in any event).

That would be correct! Your go Enkidoh.

During the Festival of the Hunt in Lindblum in disc 1, which character who later joins the party apparently was also an unseen participant? (other than Vivi and Freya?).

Quina enters as "Strange Gourmand"

Vivi is not entirely unseen. theres a chance you'll encounter him durin the festival in the Business District.

IU got it. The MC for the festival occasionally mentions 'The Strange Gourmand' as another participant, so it's likely to be Quina rather than another Qu.

And you're right too Aces. I didn't word that too well. :p

Anyway, your go IU. :)

Stickin with the festival, The Zaghnol won't appear unless one condition is met. What is it?

im likely wrong, but is it that the time left for the festival has to be less than 5 minutes?

im likely wrong, but is it that the time left for the festival has to be less than 5 minutes?
Close enough. It has to be under 4 and a half minutes.
Go Aces.

the Yans are weak against an elemental property. Name it.

Shadow element

yep. go ahead, feral.

What is the name of the island where you can find the Yans?
