FFVII Trivia HARDCORE MODE!

I will start, setting the bar!

There is 1 and only 1 area where you can fight the enemy ‘Tonberry’, where is it and how much hp does it have?

I think it’s in the northern crater the first time you visit it before cloud gives him the black materia, in the part of the whirlwind maze, but you can’t fight it there since the game is incomplete, you can only encounter it on the gold saucer and it has 15000 HP.

If you are referring to the ‘1/35 Soldier’ item, there are plenty of rumor’s about what they are for.

Taken from "The Final Fantasy VII Citadel, Rumors" (http://www.ff7citadel.com/rumors/r_misc.shtml#5).

5. 1/35 Soldier Ornaments
It is alleged if you collect twelve 1/35 soldiers and buy the house at Costa Del Sol, you can display these soldiers on a window sill as house ornaments.

6. 1/35 Soldier Bonus
If you obtain twelve 1/35 soldiers and play the strategy game at Fort Condor, you will receive an extra soldier unit to use.

There was a rumor that if you collected all 12 of them, and have a mythril bar, take it to the person who you get Aeris’s ‘Great Gospel’ limit break from, he will take the items and tell you to come back later. When you do, he has a clone of Sephiroth there, dressed in white, who then decides to join you.

Those three are examples of BS rumors which have been debunked as false and do not exist/are not true. But to answer your question technosux:

Taken from the Versus Books ‘The Completely Unauthorised Final Fantasy VII Ultimate Guide’ by Casey Loe

1/35 Soldier

This item has absolutely no use. (Note that you cannot complete the whole "set of 12").

Find: Junon (x2)
Win: Gold Saucer Shooting Coaster
Buy: N/A
Sell: 25gil

iirc… had Knights of the Round, W-Summon on one character (Cloud) and had Vincent and Red XIII with Mimic materia (Mastered). 6 shots of Knights of the Round… rinse and repeat.

I didn’t use the Underwater Materia at all. Couldn’t be bothered to go get it.
Getting the Underwater Materia isn’t annoying, nor that hard at all; it’s just that probability to get it is near zero, if you don’t already know the solution.

6 shots of Knights of the Round… rinse and repeat.
I remind how this KOR was boring …. I try to vary each attack, I don’t like to repeat endlessly same action.
In comparison, in FFX you have the option , to make shorter invocations.

True, but it’s not a necessarily needed item to fight Emerald Weapon though. It’s sole purpose is to get rid of the thirty minute timer in that one battle. I’d rather have a HP Plus or MP Plus or any other Command materia etc in that slot, instead of a materia which isn’t needed.

I remind how this KOR was boring …. I try to vary each attack, I don’t like to repeat endlessly same action.

I don’t use the ‘KotR + W-Summon + Mimic (mastered) x2’ strategy on every boss/fight. Against Emerald weapon you have to inflict as much damage as possible within a relatively short period of time. Granted KotR can be rather boring and monotonous to sit through… again… and again… and again. I found that for that one fight against Emerald weapon, who probably has around 1,000,000 HP, that the strategy I used was effective against it and did beat it within the time limit, with time to spare.

In comparison, in FFX you have the option , to make shorter invocations.

A valid point sure, as KotR as well as Eden (FFVIII) do have a horrendously long ‘summon’ time and being able to ‘skip’ the animation does speed things up. Still… remember FFVII is older than FFX by a good amount of time. I suppose SE didn’t think of adding the ability to ‘skip’ the animation time for Summon monsters in earlier FF’s until the PS2 generation.

They’re still mind-numbing to fight though either way, although that’s their whole reason for existence – to challenge players who have accomplished everything else in the game.

Anyway, here’s a question that’s sure to stump most players:

What is the only time and place in the game where you can gain the item Vagyrisk Claw, and what enemy drops it?

The other way is, of course, the W-Item cheat.

Anyways, knowing that, was useful for me during the game.

What is the other option you can choose?

And come on, no replaying the first couple of hours to find out! 🙂

Not to mention Cloud also encounters her in the street in Sector 8 after the bombing of the Number 1 Reactor (where he can buy a flower from her or ignore her).

So that question isn’t accurate, if we’re being literal here. 😉

Not to mention Cloud also encounters her in the street in Sector 8 after the bombing of the Number 1 Reactor (where he can buy a flower from her or ignore her).

So that question isn’t accurate, if we’re being literal here. 😉

i wouldn’t say you exactly "meet" her in the opening movie. I do however agree about meeting her on the street in sector 8 because that was a meeting of sorts and they talked, even if only for a few seconds.

yes but you dont meet ‘Aerith’ / ‘Aeris’ there, you meet ‘Flower Girl’, she introduces herself after Cloud crashes through the roof and then when asked if you remember her there are two options;

"You’re the girl selling flowers…"
-> "You’re the slum drunk…" (select for lolz)

Yea sorry, I meant when you first learn her name in the church, as that’s the first meaningful conversation with her IMO.

Well, an other question:
how do you get back to midgar on disc 2 or 3.
Anything special, you find when going back at aerith home ?
Any new items you could find , when going back to the town ?
Could you get back to the shinra thing ? (mako reactor, I think).

You can get back to Midgar by either advancing the storyline or by digging up a Sector…..5? key that would let you back in. And there are always new items when a storyline expands, its the RPG way! 🙂

Anyway, how many types of debuffs can you get in the Battle Square? (A debuff is a negative effect). I’m looking for a total number available, not how many times you can get one per contest.

but i’ll answer yours anyway.

there is a total of 23 handicaps, 21 of which are negative;

1/2 MP, 1/2 HP, 1/2MP+HP, 1/2 Speed, 0 MP, -5lvl, -10lvl, Frog, Poison, Mini, Broken Weapon, Broken Item, Broken Armour, Broken Accessory, Stop Green Materia, Stop Blue Materia, Stop Yellow Materia, Stop Red Materia, Stop Purple Materia, Stop ALL Materia, TIMExDMG.

and NO, i did not look it up, i just love the Battle Arena!

And I didn’t know there were any rules to the questions, just when one was answered one was asked, thats my fault.

haha i was actually playing through FF7 a few hours before you asked that question.

my turn…

Emerald Weapon’s -Aire Tam Storm- has a very specific damage calculation formula. Describe the formula as best you can.

"Aire Tam" is actually "Materia" spelled backwards, which suggests that the attack has something to do with the party’s equipped materia. It turns out that the attack deals damage to each character equal to the amount of materia equipped on them multiplied by 1,111. As such, having nine materia crystals or more equipped on a character meant certain death.

All yours Xiahou Dun

I know there’s more than one question above, but as they are all linked to the one effect, Ultima Beam, I think they still count.

Doesn’t that also include looking it up on final fantasy wiki?

As for XD’s question, I’ve already discussed the answer with XD in detail over Windows Live Messenger the other day, but to clarify. Ultima Beam deals large non-elemental damage to all party members, so there is no way of actually getting a elemental resistance to it (just like Ultima itself). Using MBarrier or Shield would cut down the damage it deals significantly though.

There are rumours that ‘non-elemental’ is actually an ‘element’ in itself, but it’s actually wrong. Non-elemental effects are exactly that, they’re typeless magical damage, and usually using Shield or MBarrier spells is the only way to defend against it (or else Aeris’s Great Gospel Limit Break, but that’s not a legal way to defend against Ultima Beam in this case. ;)).

Anyway, I’m sorry if that has come across as harsh or nasty, as I’m not having a go at anyone here. I’m just wanting to clarify a few points that are inaccurate. 🙂

Then, why did you not have a problem with it when someone posted, as an answer, a direct quote from final fantasy wiki?

Was wondering that myself.

What location from FFVI is listed on a billboard on top of a building in Midgar’s Sector 8? (The same place name is also seen on a small sign above a doorway in the same place in FFVII Crisis Core too for sharp-eyed players ;)).

Oh alright, I’ll give a clue.

For you FFVI fans, it is the place where Vargas gave Edgar and Terra a beat down not long into the game (before Sabin appears and promptly disposes of the misguided fool) ;)).

Answering really fast and using sources against the rules is even worse. Did you really just not notice that he did that, or are you applying some kind of bizarre double-standard?

Go ahead and post a question when you’re ready. 😀

I must think of an other question, then ?

How to get the fastest, powerful gold chocobo ? I mean a chocobo good to win all races at chocobo square. A gold chocobo with maximum stats.
I don’t care of how getting a gold chocobo (breeding and so on) , but how to ensure it will be fast.

GOOOOOOOD Luck

/owned.

Don’t you get a Gold Chocobo when you defeat Emerald Weapon? I’ve never done it, but I remember reading something like that. (NOT today) 😉

Constantly feeding them the right sort of greens will also influence their stats too, but as it’s been over ten years since I bred my gold chocobo, I can’t remember! :p

Constantly feeding them the right sort of greens
The name is Sylkis green nuts. A littlle help from google, to refresh the memory is not
that wrong.

I’ve also read once, that breeding chocobos with good stats helps to get other chocobos with good stats. While creating your "gold" chocobo, you’d rather breed then chocobos with good stats.

I’m sure there’s other "tricks", but that’s enough .

it’s been over ten years since I bred my gold chocobo,
More or less the same for me.

I know it’s Enkidoh turn to ask a question, but got an idea, and find it relatively "nice".
So next time . In the official ff7 OST , there’s a track called " Chasing the Black-Caped Man". Tell me in which location in the game, this music is played in background.

Now you can’t use gameshark to answer this question.

It’s a general ‘dungeon’ type piece, that plays in more than one location. The first place that I can remember it playing in is the Mythril Mines, but it also plays in the Cave of the Gi, the Sleeping Forest, the Ancient Frog Forest, and the underwater tunnel that runs between Junon and the Underwater Reactor. I think there are other places that it also plays in, but I can’t remember. 😉

Anyway, now for my question.

Name the six ‘gimmick’ weapons for each character and where you can find them (a gimmick weapon is a weapon which has high damage, but no materia slots, and also is usually in the form of a mundane item not normally associated as being a weapon).

Cloud – Nail Bat. Temple of the Ancients.
Aeris/Aerith – Umbrella. Gold Saucer.
Tifa – Work Glove. Found in Temple of the Ancients.
Barret – Rocket Punch. Temple of the Ancients.
Red-XIII – Hairpin. Wutai.
Cait Sith – Trumpet Shell. Temple of the Ancients
Cid – Mop. Bone Village.
Yuffie – Superball. Find at Condor Fort.
Vincent – Silver Rifle. Find in Temple of the Ancients.

The name is Sylkis green nuts.
I’ve also read once, that breeding chocobos with good stats helps to get other chocobos with good stats. While creating your "gold" chocobo, you’d rather breed then chocobos with good stats.

I can tell you don’t know English as a first language, or maybe you are just bad with grammar, but you ask for breeding shortcuts to get your chocobo, but say that you weren’t interested in breeding for the answer? Really?

I’m not looking to start anything, just please don’t ask such a weird question without the proper information/wording.

I can tell you don’t know English as a first language, or maybe you are just bad with grammar, but you ask for breeding shortcuts to get your chocobo, but say that you weren’t interested in breeding for the answer? Really?
Yes, french is my first language. I said I was not interested in the breeding , except off course if you could give elements about how getting a gold chocobo with good statistics or speed. I didn’t want explanations about how getting a gold chocobo, can’t say it better sorry.

Unfortunately, there is a variable hidden in the programming that ensures that only the first Dragon Zombie you encounter will cast it. Once that one casts it, the variable changes ensuring the Dragon Zombies will never again cast it. So you have to be ready to face them if you want to get all 4 Enemy Skill Materias with the spell (you can actually equip them all to one character – as long as none of the materias have that spell, you’ll learn it on all of them, :D).

ANYWAY, onto my question, 😀

Name all the various troops and grunts of the Shinra Army (the Peace Preservation) you can encounter as enemies in the game (this includes SOLDIER, but not the Turks). Also this doesn’t include mecha or weaponry.

That’s about it I think.

This is where having the strategy guide with a full bestiary helps. 😉

EDIT: Okay, so it looks like no one else is going to answer so I’m going to go ahead and award it to XD, who came close, only missing two troop types.

These two troop types are:

Attack Squad troopers, ironically enough, the most commonly seen Shinra soldier, who mostly appear in cutscenes.
Underwater MPs, who are only found in one place – one section of the Underwater Reactor, in the square area with the doors just before the docks where you fight Carry Armour. Incidentally they are one of the few enemies that have Shinra Alpha armour. They can be easily identified by their gold coloured uniforms.

Anyway XD, go ahead and post a question. ^^

what is the earliest in the game you can obtain a summon materia, what is the summon, and how do you obtain it?

It was your question 6 days ago. I’ve seen you on in the past week, so you had plenty of time.

As for the question,

The first summons you can get (I believe) is the Chocobo/Mog summons, at the chocobo ranch near the Midgar Zolom. You get it by talking to chocobo neat the fence and watching it dance.

That may be so Seru-Kai, but does that give 7alentine the right to be abusive? No. Regarding asking a question, I don’t go INTO EVERY THREAD to read every single time I log in.

Edit: Far as I’m concerned, the gloves are off now (figuratively speaking).

I also posted the 6 days thing without seeing the posts on this page, I only saw the post I quoted.

But, this is one of very very few threads in the VII subforum that are worth reading, and while you may not check every thread everytime you’re on here, you should probably be sure to check the trivia threads every day or two, especially if you know you answered a recent question.

Do you blow everything you see, read, or hear out of proportion? You know what would’ve made him take your post more seriously? Well let me tell you. All you needed to say it’s been six days.

And since everyone’s being on the potty-mouth wagon, I think I’d jump on by saying that you’re an IDIOT! CUNT! ASSHOLE! DOUCHE!!! Can’t think of any more to add but seriously, you need to chill and stop making it seem that everything is a personal attack. Of course mine was so you can do what you want with it.

"It’s been six days. You had six days. Too bad you missed your chance!" or something like that. But I do feel that it was a bit inappropriate for him to call XD a cunt because once again, I failed to see the hostility.

See it now? It’s right there!

I
am
hilarious
😀

..I don’t think that’s necessary, but in all seriousness, if someone decides to do a little trolling, it’s really best to just ignore them or they’re only getting their way.

You know what I’m talkin about.

To everyone, as Centercore says, chill.

Anyway, let’s keep things moving. [b]Seru Kai[/i], yeah, Choco/Mog is the first and that’s where you get it. Your question.

That’s a fair appraisal, and I’m not denying that. However, to get my PoV across, YES, I have been logged in in the past few days. Do I have an excuse for not posting a question? Nope. I wouldn’t of cared if potty britches for a retarded excuse for donkey excrement (AKA YOU 7alentine) had said ‘It’s been 6 days, time for someone else to ask a question’. IF that had been said, No fucking problem.

FYI when I said I had ‘Just logged in’ I meant I had just logged in that night, and was typing up a question. But w/e…

HOWEVER that was NOT said. Just hurl some abuse at the person instead. For Zak, Seru_Kai and the rest, 7alentine has abused me before not just in this thread but in another, and I’m fucking sick to death of this shit. THAT is the point I’m pointing out.

In any case, w/e. I’m done with this thread. All it’s doing is letting people spout how much info they know of a game, which in all fairness, isn’t the ‘end-all-be-all’ game it’s being treated as.

They blame themselves too! 😀

As for my question:

What’s the second best prize you can win in the parade in Junon, and list the percentage bracket you have to place in. (This is NOT the sendoff with Shinra).

Because no one had responded after my second post, I simply edited it, awarding XD as he came close (only missing two enemies), because I did not want to double post, respecting standard forum rules. My post clearly states that it was edited that exact day with that information. Yes it might have been six days since I asked the question, but no one deserved to be treated in such a poor way.

I’m not having a go at anyone here, as I feel enough has been said on this subject and anything more will only add fuel to an already raging forum inferno. So lets all be friends again. 😀

*throws flower petals around*

Annnnnyway. In response to Seru’s question, the second best item you can win during the parade, are six ethers, which you have to score a TV rating of 40-49% (the best reward is 5000 gil). I always find it better to deliberately muck up the parade and get the news crew fired for the poor ratings though. Their comments are hilarious :p

As you can see from Enkidoh’s post, Agent0042, Zak, Seru_Kai and even that imbecilic piece of monkey excrement on toast and fed to itself (7alentine If you can’t guess) I ‘can’ say I had "Just logged in".

I think I am owed an apology.

Agent or another moderator, please lock this thread. This is getting out of hand.

However, I will actually apologise to Xiahou, I shouldn’t have called you a cunt, I was having an absolutely HORRIBLE day and given our past history I just lashed out. I dont want to be friends or anything like that, I’m simply doing the right thing.

Anyway, Seru Kai was correct about the question, so its your turn.

I think I am owed an apology.

You honestly had no idea that the post was edited that day, none at all or you would’ve said something. I’m also not going to apologize for missing an edit that happened, even though the apology thing probably isn’t directed at me.

Your friend saved your ass on this one, that’s basically what happened. I think the trivia thread can resume.

Enkidoh’s question.

Anyway, now for my question:

What are the two items you can gain by letting Cloud fall when the tracks break on the Mount Corel railway bridge?

Go ahead and post your question Seru when you’re ready. 😀

What’s the name of the only female-specific armor and how do you obtain it?

I seem to also recall gaining one just before the final battle against Sephiroth, at the bottom of the Northern Crater, when the party hands over the items they found during the descent through the crater, but I haven’t been able to find any conclusive evidence to back it up.

So officially, the only that can be found is the the one that Elena is carrying. 😉

Your question either way 😉

That may be so Seru-Kai, but does that give 7alentine the right to be abusive? No. Regarding asking a question, I don’t go INTO EVERY THREAD to read every single time I log in.

Edit: Far as I’m concerned, the gloves are off now (figuratively speaking).

I think I am owed an apology.

Final Fantasy 7 trivia threads are serious business.

Now for my question:

In keeping with the theme of Seru’s previous question, what is the Minerva Band’s male-only equivalent armour, and where can it be found?

The armour I’m thinking of can only be equipped by male characters (making it the equivalent of the girl-only Minerva Band).

The answer is the Escort Guard, found in either the Downed Shinra Plane or using the Morph Materia on Iron Giant.

The armour I’m thinking of can only be equipped by male characters (making it the equivalent of the girl-only Minerva Band).

Man it doesn’t matter because FF7 SUCKS, am I right guys? Huh?!

…

Anyway, XD got it. It’s the Escort Guard. Go ahead and post a question when you’re ready.

Cloud is not a valid option for a KO’d character.

You’ve got next question.

Make another XD.

When casting Knights of the Round, what weapon is the tenth Knight using?

When casting Knights of the Round, what weapon is the tenth Knight using? in 12 hours time, if no one has answered by then.

You can see here: Final Fantasy VII Summon Knights of Round (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdNnJMJXbis) at 0:49-0:52, that the Tenth Knight is wielding a naginata. I always thought it was weird that a Knight from the Arthurian legend, is wielding a oriental type weapon, but then FFVII was made by a Japanese company. Sides, having 13 Knights swinging their swords would be rather boring.

Oh, and FYI, here’s a list of the weapons the rest are using:

* The first knight attacks with a long sword that look like Cloud’s Rune Blade,
* The second knight attacks with a lance,
* The third knight attacks with a rod and casts what looks like fire magic,
* The fourth knight attacks with a mace,
* The fifth knight attacks with a long sword,
* The sixth knight attacks with a hammer,
* The seventh knight attacks with a wand and casts what looks like blizzard magic,
* The eighth knight attacks with a trident,
* The ninth knight attacks with a staff and casts Comet on the target,
* The tenth knight attacks with a naginata,
* The eleventh knight attacks with a battle axe,
* The twelfth knight attacks with a sword,
* And the thirteenth knight {King Arthur} attacks with Excalibur.

Next poster asks a question.

Which is the first enemy to cast Trine?

Materia equipped to Masamune (weapon), from left to right: Revive, Restore, Earth, Fire linked with All. Materia equipped to armour (Gold Armlet): Ice linked with All, Lightning linked with All.

Incidentally all his materia is mastered, not that you gain any exp or AP during any battles in that section of the game anyway. 😉

Anyhow, your go.

Seeing as we’re talking about materia in that flashback scene…

What is the materia that Cloud mentioned he was given by Shinra in that flashback scene? (It’s actually the only piece of materia he has at that part).

Go ahead and post when you’re ready. ^^

During Cloud’s flashback of Niebelheim, the cargo truck he is in gets attacked by a Grand Dragon, how many times does Sephiroth attack the dragon before he kills it?

And it definately takes 2 strikes for Seph to take down that dragon. It can take no more or less as his masamune deals critical strikes with 100% success while he is in his god like format and controlled by the computer. I think they tried to mask the fact that they were critical by placing him always in the back row, even if you gameshark Seph into your party his attacks are always halved if you use him as a mortal…

Anyways i wanted to ask a rather hard question.. It is actually unfair to ask i think as their is no way you would know the answer from simply playing through the game…

There is as far as i know a few things that were put into the game which were later not activated at all through the game:

One was a materia (i think there may have actually been 2 that were never available to attain)

One was a key item

And the third was something which actually became a rumour! And the rumour stated that you could obtain this thing.. which is of course bullshit.

The only reason i found these things was when i was making some gameshark codes for the game and came across some weird shit.

If someone could name any of the three things that were taken out it’d be pretty impressive.

Sorry again for posting out of turn. In exchange i’ll make sure the answer the next question if i can.

There was actually several materia that never were activated but were left as ‘dummy’ materia in the game – I seem to recall reading somewhere that some of these were originally planned to be Carbuncle and Golem summons, but were never made. Whether that was indeed true though is complete conjecture.

As for the key items, there are actually three hidden in the programming – A Letter to a Wife, A Letter to a Daughter, and Mystery Panties. Two of these were planned for a quest that was only partially programmed (the dialogue for the first was partially programmed, but never completed, and can only be viewed using a hex editor).

As for the ‘Mystery Panties’, your guess is as good as mine, but the name seems to suggest a connection to the Wall Market quest at the start of the game. In any event, these three items can only be ‘gained’ by hacking the game using a cheat device (PSX version) or a save trainer (PC version).

In regards to the ‘rumour’, that is rather vague, as there are plenty of rumours connected with FFVII, ranging from the believable to the frankly ridiculous. So I am not going to repeat anything further in regards to this.

Yes my appologies for jumping in..

But nice work with the key items, the one i found by mistake was the letter to daughter.

One of the materia that it is the game but practically unusable was called Rifabu (or something along those lines) some sort of reflect spell like carbuncle.

Also the third thing i was talking about was the white chocobo.. Which is programmed into the game but impossible to get.. You can code it into your stables but not ride it.. or you can code it onto the world map, but you actually appear as the chocobo, not on top of it haha. funny actually.

Btw, why is this thread called HARDCORE? At least go with MAYCORE if you’re wanting a challenge.

Anyone up for some Jirouzo actually? He may be a bald twat but it can be a fun game at times.

Place your bets people!

I lol.

Why would we get banned, because we’re not on topic to the point where we’re as boring as your average forum go-er? Get with the times. Final Fantasy is dead.

"Final Fantasy is dead". And yet, here you are registering two almost identical usernames here to trash our forum. Nice move, kiddo.

Go and watch Pirates of the Caribbean for fuck sake.

If you want to better that, preferable without Owen in it, go and watch Edward Scissorhands or Ed Wood. Lord of the Rings blows.

There is no need to insult other members of the forum for them happening to like Final Fantasy.

Why would we get banned, because we’re not on topic to the point where we’re as boring as your average forum go-er? Get with the times. Final Fantasy is dead.

If that is how you feel, then fine. Why did you register as a member of a Final Fantasy forum in the first place? If you feel the way you stated in the above quote, then please leave. You will not be missed.

crit’s odd offtopic convo for SUPER WARMTH!

kouper, please do not post stuff which has nothing to do with the thread topic at hand.

I apologise to the rest of the forum members who have posted in this thread before, for not continuing with the thread topic at hand, but enough is enough. I have also forwarded a PM to the forum Moderators regarding this as well.

Whenever I hook up with a forum, I catch the trolls. 😉

Two years? I place my villa in Madrid on the line, make sure you put something of equal value up for grabs.

I lol.

Ok, I’ll put up about 5 dollars (that’s U.S. currency) for that is all a ‘villa’ in Madrid is worth really. They’re like the projects in the States.

/flame on!

By not destroying the Red Submarine, head back to Junon and you’ll be able to go through the door which was blocked by the dog. I think losing the minigame involved is the only way to remove the dog and enter that area and instead of having the Grey Submarine, you’ll have the Red Submarine.

What is the item that is hidden behind Don Corneo’s bed when you confront him after sneaking into his house in Wall Market?

used to nab it to increase limit on cloud early in the game.

Your question.

You don’t have to participate if you don’t want to.

here is a question which may seem pretty simple but here it is either way.

What is the strongest magic in the game?

And when i say magic i do not mean Super NOVA or Knights, just ur everyday green materia.

But I’m pretty sure the developers planned Ultima to be the ‘ultimate magic’ in the game.

Because I’d wager that Shield is the strongest.

If he is meaning White Magic though, Full Cure would probably be the most powerful, although Shield does appear on the surface useful, in game I found it to be quite weak actually (supposedly it grants you the ‘Peerless’ effect, the same effect that Aeris’s Great Gospel Limit Break gives, but it doesn’t actually work the same, apparently only increasing your defense). Making the spell rather a letdown.

But I digress… 😉

Ultima can do roughly 7000 damage per use. Comet. With it’s second tier spell, Comet 2, 4 meteors hit the target, each hit can do up to 2500 damage, for a total of 8000-10,000 damage as the damage is calculated individually and not collectively. Death Materia with the spell Death kills all enemies instantly, though not 100% effective all the time though. The Exit Materia, second level, Remove can remove all enemies, effectively ending the battle straight away (Not effective on some monsters or bosses though).

If cheema201 meant Green support materia, I refer to the following:

Shield protects one character from all physical damage and absorbs all typed magic as HP (Of course, not Type-less magic). Revive materia in it’s second spell of Life 2 restores a KO’d character with full HP.

So for Green attack materia I go with the Comet Materia spell Comet 2, and if for Green support materia I say Shield materia.

What is the strongest attacking magic in the game? not including comet 2 which is a multi hit magic.. Also Death and Remove deal with the enemies status, even though technically they are attacking they have no real attack power.

Which green materia magic move will deal the most damage for you?

Since you refined the question, either Ultima (which can do 6000-7000 damage, depending on what other materia you have linked) or the spell Flare from the Contain materia (which can do the equivalent amount of damage.).

I think it only fair that you choose one answer.

As that both Ultima and Flare can do the same amount of damage on enemies which have no defense against Fire element, both are applicable.

For the purpose of this trivia, I say Ultima.

The damage quotient between both spells is pretty much equal, the elemental resistance would negate only a small amount of damage potential from the target, and would increase fractionally on those who are weak to the Fire element.

I still say Ultima for the sole reason, as it’s type less damage there is no modifier (Elemental etc) to either reduce or increase it’s damage potential, while for all Elemental spells, they do have the elemental modifier to take into account.

In any event, isn’t it time you reveal the answer for this question?

Ultima is incorrect.

In the event that it was correct I would have said so after Enkidoh mentioned it

In any event, isn’t it time you reveal the answer for this question?

There have been numerous guesses and you have shot them all down, so I think it’s fair you reveal the answer and ‘enlighten’ us.

Following that idea, I’m probably going to say Demi III (the final spell on the Gravity materia) then, even though that is ‘gravity elemental’ and tends to miss more often than it should (a surprising amount of enemies are immune to it).

Failing that, I have no idea.

Attack strength of three magics mentioned:
Ultima = 105 (no element)
Tornado = 105 (Wind element, can cause confusion)
Flare = 115 (Fire element)

Either way at least you gave Flare a mention.

Your question Death’s Hand

Following that idea, I’m probably going to say Demi III (the final spell on the Gravity materia) then, even though that is ‘gravity elemental’ and tends to miss more often than it should (a surprising amount of enemies are immune to it).

Failing that, I have no idea.

Most enemies are immune to Demi but surprisingly Emerald Weapon (who some would say is the hardest boss in the game) is not immune and Demi 3 will blast him for 9999 without fail

The main cast (not including Vincent, Yuffie or Cait Sith), can steal weapons from certain non boss enemies. Most of these characters have one weapon they can steal from the enemy (for example, Cloud can steal a Hardedge from Soldier 3rd in the Shinra Building), however there is one who can steal two different weapons from two different enemies.

First Part
Name the character.

Second Part
The two weapons stolen.

Third Part
The enemies you can steal them from.

Fourth Part
The general area where the enemies can be found.

stealing weapons for characters is an amazing part of the game. you can nab some powerful weapons long before you can actually buy them.

You can definately steal two weapons for barret. atomic scissors and w machine gun.

atomic scissors was kinda annoying as it was not long range, you can steal it from the enemies that use matra magic just outside midgar. no idea what they are called, but they use an ability called w machine gun, which is kinda funny as you can steal the weapon w machine gun off the same type of monster which is stronger, i believe you fight it in junon where the soldiers are training (at least i think thats the one). you have to set off the alarm to get them to come out and fight, but a great place to level up early in the game, especially if you managed to get beta from midgar zolom (if you bothered fighting it) when you go through the marshes. anyways that is off the topic

I think thats what you were looking for.. The other weapons i remember stealing are:
1. striking staff for aeris which is in midgar with a horse looking creature.
2. grand glove (or something) for tifa, in the place just after you find the midgar zolom smashed by sephiroth from a monster swining a metal ball above his head.
3. boomerang for yuffie in the forest near fort condor, the monster is a blueish purple flying monster.

you already mentioned hardedge. thats all i can really remember, I could be mistaken about a few of these, it has been a while since i played through the game.

First Part
Barret Wallace

Second Part
Atomic Scissors and W Machine Gun

Third Part
The enemies you can steal them from.

Fourth Part
Area outside Midgar and in Junon.

Whoever gets the third part, the Name of the enemies these weapons are stolen from, gets to ask the next question.

Attack strength of three magics mentioned:
Ultima = 105 (no element)
Tornado = 105 (Wind element, can cause confusion)
Flare = 115 (Fire element)

Either way at least you gave Flare a mention.

Your question Death’s Hand

What if you factor in that Flare only attacks a single enemy, while Ultima automatically attacks all AND is non-cumulative? Ultima becomes far more powerful even if you’re only facing two enemies.

Also, Death’s Head, if you don’t mind my saying so, you’re asking for a lot of really specific information; there’s no occasion by which someone would reasonably find out the names of those enemies and remember them without specifically doing so just for the sake of answering a trivia question; this kind of question is not a fair test of knowledge of the game.

So you would feel it’d be more prudent for me to change the question then?

As for the enemies in question, I believe one is the Sweepers (maybe wrong name, but they look like industrial vaccums), as for the one near Junon, no idea sadly.

Your question Seru_Kai.

In Sector 5 Slums, there’s a kid in a bedroom with a hidden drawer in his dresser. There’s a possiblity of getting 1 of 2 items in the hidden drawer. What are the items and how do you go about getting one or the other?

Your turn.

And for those who don’t know, the other enemy in DH’s question is the Death Machine, which is another ‘sweeper’ type enemy (apparently they’re some kind of robotic device for cleaning and protecting Mako Reactors).

But I digress. 🙂

From the nine magic elements that are used in FFVII, name the three elements which are not represented as regular magic spells available to the player (green materia).

This means, elements which don’t have a materia only of that specific element – materia that has a group of elements in it doesn’t count. Neither do ‘typeless’ spells.

‘Hidden’ elements don’t count either (I could explain what this means, but it would give it away. ;).

But Flare is stronger.
I mean you could say that Fire 3 is the strongest if you pair it with MP Turbo and quadramagic, against enemies weak against fire. The point was to find out which magic could do the most damage (attack power) with a single attack. Flare is the winner, even though it does not start out on all enemies by default, i’m pretty sure that mega-all covers that and it still dominates Ultima I believe, The reason i found this out was when i was fighting Ruby Weapon and wanted to kill off his ‘arms’ in order to fight him without them in the ground, i found that the quickest and most effective way was not with Ultima but with Flare. So i looked into the Kernel of the game and found that its attack is higher. The only way that Ultima could win the fight against Flare would be if it ignored an enemies defense or something, really making it the ultimate magic, however it isn’t.

Nice question for starters. I like questions that people can not easily google haha, they rely on knowledge of the game.

Are you talking about:

1. Holy
2. Water
3. Wind

I dont really wanna say wind as Tornado i guess is a regular spell. But if you are refering to regular spells like:
fire, ice, bolt, quake etc then i guess wind can fit.

Holy is used by alexander and water is obviously aqualung.

It is a shame that holy was never a usuable spell in the game. I took it upon myself to create a holy materia (if anyone would like the code then let me know, coz i’ll have to dig it out of my code books). I replaced ‘shield’ with holy. not a big user of shield, for defense you just need to eat hero drinks in big battles, otherwise big guard is sufficient.

Apparently though, an ‘Aero’ materia was planned for the game but never actually implemented (although ‘Aero 3’ which would presumably be the most powerful one does exist in game as an enemy-only attack that several monsters use.)

Contain materia doesn’t count, as it’s spells are all different elements on the one materia – I was looking for elements which didn’t have a specific materia. Which is of course, Wind, Water and Holy.

Anyway, go ahead and post a question when you’re ready. 🙂

I would have posted a question haha but u just answered it!!!

Since you were talking about elements i was gonna ask about the Aero thing. Thanks for stealing my thunder haha. i’ll think of something else

My whole point is that it’s very ambiguous to ask which is the "strongest" simply because you didn’t specify how many enemies you were facing. Take, for example, the Emerald Weapon when it brings out those jewel things. If you use flare against them, you have to kill one at a time, which is horrendously inefficient. Ultima, on the other hand, can kill them all in one hit, and then, even if it isn’t strong enough, it can kill them in two turns; much faster than one at a time. You should have specified that you were measuring the amount of damage it does to a single enemy.

Anyways for a new question, something a little different.

If in midgar you name Red13 ‘Nanaki’, does Cloud still ask who Nanaki is when you go to cosmo canyon for the first time? Or at that point does Cloud simply say nothing and the game continue as the game code recognises his input name?

At best even if you have no idea its a 50/50 haha

That’s a horrible idea because Demi never kills an enemy…

Nothing, they just say, "What? Nanaki’s name is Nanaki?!"

Nothing, they just say, "What? Nanaki’s name is Nanaki?!"

Demi does a good job against Emerald, I guess ur right in the fact that it doesn’t kill, but up to the point where an enemy has 14000 it will do 9999.

Yeh it is funny that they didn’t take it into account and have some sort of ‘if then’ command to search for the values of the name you entered at the start of the game. But still funny when it happens.

Ask away

Didn’t Squeenix almost get sued for using Wedge and Biggs aliases?

Also never noticed that about Nanaki. Crazy.

What is the name of the ShinRa television station?

What is the name of the ShinRa television station?

It’s been a day, you cock.

Q: What is the proper way to pronounce "Cait Sith"? Please spell phonetically.

There was a hidden character who was taken out of the game at the very last minute. What was his name

@Draven: Usually wait for confirmation of your answer, before asking a question.

There was a hidden character who was taken out of the game at the very last minute. What was his name

Chocobo? haha

And yeh i think we need some confirmation over here for Cait Sith (is this one of those star wars things like he is some kind of Sith Lord?)

You say Cait Sith’s name phonetically like this Dar-th Sid-i-us.

@Draven: Usually wait for confirmation of your answer, before asking a question.

and you suck dick anyway you big head lol and how do you know your right, you didnt wait either fucker

And yeh i think we need some confirmation over here for Cait Sith (is this one of those star wars things like he is some kind of Sith Lord?)

You say Cait Sith’s name phonetically like this Dar-th Sid-i-us.

wasnt chocobo lol

What exactly was your point here? Death’s Head didn’t post a question. He posted an answer to a question and he is now waiting for confirmation as is everyone else. Except you apparently.

Agent’s call on who has next.

If you’re gonna toss trash through the forums, let me point out that this is because your question wasn’t a good one. Asking questions about characters not included in the final game is like asking movie trivia questions about actors considered for parts that didn’t make the cut. Seriously, though, don’t be so belligerent; nobody was angry until you got defensive about misunderstanding the thread’s rules. Nobody thinks you’re a moron because you made a minor gaffe, and this whole thing would’ve been avoided if you’d seen that.

Edit: Sorry, had to. 😀

Booster materia, makes the user resistant to earth-elemental attacks.
Prevent Floor Damage materia, that protected against dungeon traps.

Hmm… how about this one then:

What equipment does Sephiroth have equipped during the ‘Flashback at Nibelheim’?

Correct on all three FF1WithAllThieves. Go to the head of the class and ask a question.

Name all of the command materia that does NOT have to be mastered to create a Master Command materia.

OH YEAH AND ENEMY SKILL BOOOOIIIIIII!

That Enemy Skill’s a sly motherfucker.

I’ve done this several times (the most recent during my playthrough on the PC version), so I know it is correct.

I didn’t know that, Enkidoh, thanks for the insight. I thought it HAD to be done on Disc 2 regardless. On my perfect FF7 file I did it on D2 without knowing it’s possible to do it on D3. While not crucial, it’s good to know.

Go ahead Agent.

I just checked a screenshot taken from the PC version to verify it. 😉

Name all the items you can inspect (view their names) in Dio’s Showroom at Gold Saucer.

Haha! I had to go and check to see that for myself, and it does say ‘D type Equipment’ – Blew my mind.

But the other items are:
‘Star Cup’
‘Weekend Clock’
‘Laugh Sapling’
‘Slayers Pot’
‘Chisa’s Mask’
‘Dio’s Portrait’
‘Calling Gourd’
‘Zauger’s Cup’
…And the keystone, depends whenever you go there.

I’m assuming the items are like …obscure cultural references based on what they’re called? Can’t say I’ve ever heard of any of these things though, other than the NGE reference.

Honokasa pretty much got most of them, save for the very first item on the right hand side: Kleine’s Pot (I just checked this with screenshots of the items in question). But you got every other one correct so well done! (Good job to everyone else who tried too).

Also, there are several other items in Dio’s showroom that can’t be inspected, namely a big blue model airship suspended from the ceiling and two model hot air balloons in the corner. But they weren’t part of the question. 😉

Anyway, go ahead and post a question Honokasa when you’re ready. 😀

I’ve been thinking about a bad ass question to ask you guys all day.

Currently playing through FFVII on my psp, so I’ve been keeping stuff in mind whilst i play it.

And I bring you this:

On your first visit to Nibelheim, when you enter Tifa’s house, upstairs there is a Sephiroth clone (one of the dudes on the black cloaks), what number tattoo does he have, and what Item does he give you?

Anyways, It was the number 4, and he/she/it gives you the ‘Platinum fist’ for Tifa.

Questions open to whoever asks first.

You can acquire a handful of items by playing a tune on Tifa’s piano in her house (Using the buttons on the controller. The song is the main theme to FFVII). What are the items, and extra credit if you can also tell the method to get them?

I know you can only get the Final Heaven with Tifa in your party on disc 2 or 3. 1 gil can come randomly if you just play any time without Tifa there. Not sure about how you get the Elemental…

To get the Elemental Materia, on Disk 2 when Tifa is the party leader and play the tune again.

Note however that this was only the original version of OWA that borrowed Orf’s lyrics – Tetsuya Nomura wrote new lyrics for Advent: One-Winged Angel in Advent Children. 🙂 I guess Uematsu must have gotten into hot-water with that little bit of plagiarism. :p

But you most certainly answered my question correctly, so your go.

Anyway, free question for whoever wants to ask one, as I’m too tired to think of one right now. 😉

Outside of KOTR and Omnislash, what attack can do the most total damage (attack=single turn)?

Clue: It proves your a bit of a loser!

@ Techchild: If you want to ask a question, you must first answer the question the previous poster asked, then wait for their confirmation if you are correct. However, to answer your question:

You can obtain a Ribbon via various means:

You can find one at Gaea’s Cliff, Temple of the Ancients and to win 10 special battles in the Gold Saucer Battle Square. You can also morph a Master Tonberry into a Ribbon, not a Ochu.

You can also morph an ouchu at the arena or lose 999 times @ the golden saucer.

That’s the Ho-chu or w/e it’s called (I think you fight it in the second or third round of the special battle w/e in Gold Saucer… not sure which though), that can be morphed into a Ribbon. Your question though was probably worded incorrectly:

How do you obtain Ribbon without morphing an Ouchu?

Worded like you were asking about other methods of getting a ribbon.

Still, as I said in my other post… don’t just ask questions, if the previous poster has already asked a question. Either answer that question and wait for them to let you know if you’re correct or leave a post alerting that poster to answer the question (due to no activity for a week or so).

But don’t be rude so at least say "It’s been a week and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be answered any time soon" or something like that.

Hint: as far as I know, I’m looking for at least five items (possibly more), gained from three specific places. 😉

How do you spell Nibelheim

*NO PEEKING AT HOW I WROTE IT ABOVE!*

How do you spell Nibelheim

*NO PEEKING AT HOW I WROTE IT ABOVE!*

:ohgod:

And for those who are wondering, these are the non-prize/purchased/story items you can find in Gold Saucer:

Ramuh summon materia in the Jockey’s Lounge of the Chocobo Races (can only get this when Cloud is there whilst attempting to gain release from the Desert Prison)
Elixir inside the mini-bar of the room in the Ghost hotel (easiest time to get this is when Cloud returns to his room following the date scene)
Sprint Shoes from the woman at the bottom of the stairs outside the Battle Arena (must win eight consecutive battles at the arena in the one visit – can only be gained in disc 3)
Protect Vest and Chocobo Feather from Dio by winning all 8 consecutive battles at the Battle Arena when attempting to get the Keystone
30 GP from the man standing opposite the Mog House arcade game in Wonder Square (must play through the mini-game and complete it once, then speak to him)
Chocobracelet, Precious Watch and Cat’s Bell from Esther at the Chocobo Races lobby (after racing one of your own chocobos and winning 7 consecutive races in S rank in disc 3.)

Anyway, FFWAT was close, so go ahead when you’re ready. 🙂

Hint:
Certain ways to kill Emerald WEAPON (in under 01:20) are exclusive to certain characters.

A: maxing out Cloud’s strength and constantly Omnislashing him with the Ultima Weapon (but of course that would require him to take damage).
B: equipping Yuffie with the Conformer so she would do damage in relation to the amount Emerald is dishing out in turn.
C: equipping Vincent with the Death Penalty after he’s killed a certain amount of monsters to supercharge it.
D: equipping Barret with the Missing Score and loading him up with tons of rare mastered materia.

I still think all four methods are rather hit and miss though (especially as they risk causing damage overflows which can screw your game over).

But I’m probably wrong.

C & D are certainly correct. I will include both of those as ONE way to kill Emerald WEAPON with "the overflow method." With Vincent, the overflow method is almost the fastest way to kill him.

Vincent’s One Shot Overflow Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cXfeCC6_ac)

And Another One Shot Overflow Kill By Vincent (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcQOfcovSuw)

Barret’s Hero Drink Enriched Overflow Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIZM-ESR034)

Further Knowledge on Overflow Kills (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJbonNH49Ls)

Szczepan,

1 & 2 are on the right track. Could you be a bit more specific though? 3 is correct.

Cait Sith’s Game Over Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMO-pgaTSF0)

Further Knowledge on Executing Cait Sith’s "Game Over" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGNYMHdE4ks)

So that is 2 1/2 ways to kill Emerald WEAPON in under 01:20…Only 1 1/2 more! =0

1. The Overflow Method
2. Cait Sith’s "Game Over"
3. Szczepan’s 1 & 2 answers are on the right track…
4. ?

Hint for 4:
Think of the most conventional way of killing Emerald WEAPON, but exploit a fairly unknown glitch utilized by that transmuting coffin dweller. Oh & the glitch is triggered by certain weapons and a certain command materia…Go France!

Szczepan’s idea of using the Lucky 7 cheat won’t work though, at least, not for the purpose of the question, because I have used Lucky 7s against Emerald before (with Tifa), and she spent over ten minutes attacking Emerald in a berserker rage (all other characters nor the enemy do not attack til the effect wears off).

Hence Miming such an effect is useless for trying to beat him under a certain length of time, as it would just add another ten minutes of ceaseless attacking to the clock.

As for the hint you gave Withope, that wouldn’t be the Sniper CR or Long-barreled Rifle (both of which have a 255% hit ratio) while equipped with Deathblow materia? (incidentally, Tifa’s Godhand weapon also has a 255% hit ratio, making Deathblow useful for her as well). But I’ve never heard of that glitch before (doesn’t surprise me though).

Anyway, that’s all I can think of, so I think it would be best to put this question to rest, as it’s been over two weeks now with no further takers. 🙂

Szczepan was on the right track for the 3rd way to kill Emerald WEAPON in under 1:20 but not entirely correct…

3. Mime+Counter+Limit Break

Equip Barret with 8 Mime Materias paired with 8 Counter Materias, go into battle with Emerald WEAPON, have another character use two hero drinks with w-item on Barrett, use Barrett’s "Ungarmax," Emerald WEAPON will counter with "Emerald Shoot," Barrett will counterattack with Ungarmax on Emerald WEAPON 6 times, & Emerald WEAPON will die.

Mime+Counter+Limit Break Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNqXfq88Zi0)

4. Vincent’s Mug Glitch

A person from France, SuperAcro, discovered this neat little glitch. When Vincent uses "Mug" with Shortbarrel/Winchester/Long Barrel R/Sniper CR/Death Penalty, the next attack animation is skipped; however the damage is usually STILL calculated. So take the most conventional way of killing Emerald WEAPON (spam KOTR), but sneak in a mug or four (Counter+Mug/Counter+Mime) to skip the animation.

Paired materia:
Counter+Mug, Counter Magic+KOTR, Counter+Mime, Counter+Mug, Counter Magic+KOTR, Counter+Mug, Counter+Mime, MP Absorb+KOTR

Vincent’s Mug Glitch Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9-axzhopEY&feature=related)

Combination of Vincent’s Mug Glitch Kill + Cait Sith’s Game Over Kill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URY9IZ-O5uI)

So all in all, here are the four ways to kill Emerald WEAPON in under 1:20:

1. The Overflow Method (00:10) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cXfeCC6_ac)
2. Cait Sith’s "Game Over" (01:16) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMO-pgaTSF0)
3. Mime+Counter+Limit Break (01:18) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNqXfq88Zi0)
4. Vincent’s Mug Glitch (00:47) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9-axzhopEY&feature=related)
Note: There are faster times for every one of these.

Fun stuff. And to think back on my youth of all of those times I would spam KOTR, pair Final Attack+Life2/Phoenix, & use all of the Turbo Ethers/Elixirs I had…What a waste…=0

I’ll pose another question. If you guys doesn’t feel like answering it, pose your own question (I’ll understand. It’s been nearly two weeks). Otherwise, the person who gets it correct will obviously pose the next question.

Which other compositions within the game borrow the main melody of "Those Chosen By The Planet?" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C77Eaq3CDQ)

I’m probably incorrect though.

Here’s a hint…Both of these pieces play on the 3rd disc of the game.

There is another unnamed track that’s not on the OST which features the same tolling bell and percussion that is used at the start of Those Chosen By the Planet, which plays during the ‘final’ one-on-one battle between Cloud and Sephiroth, except that also plays in a number of other locations, such as the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim. But that’s probably wrong.

I’ll retire this question since it seems I have scared everyone away from the thread. =0

"Weapon Raid" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YWRiq-plxw&feature=PlayList&p=3B91F460F0C777B3&playnext_from=PL&index=1&playnext=2)
"Birth of a God" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGHkjLhIpU8)

Take the next question, Enkidoh =)

Anyway, here’s my question:

What is the weakest enemy in the game (in terms of level, HP and strength), what do you get for defeating them (EXP, gil and items), and where can they be encountered? (note: hidden ‘debugging’ enemies do not count)

Go to 0:13 of "Those Chosen By The Planet" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rV40ypje7o)

Go to 1:01 of "Weapon Raid" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YWRiq-plxw&feature=PlayList&p=3B91F460F0C777B3&playnext_from=PL&index=1&playnext=2)

Go to 1:24 of "Birth of A God" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGHkjLhIpU8)

1st Ray of the first Reactor is the weakest enemy.
XP: 12
Drop: Nothing
Gil: 5

Your question Withope.

To confuse matters though, the Highwind theme still plays when you’re inside the airship regardless of what disc you’re on – Great Northern Cave instead only plays when flying the ship on the world map.

There are other themes that play from time to time too during story moments or cutscenes, such as Shinra Electric Power Company, Cid’s Theme, and It’s Hard to Stand on Two Feet, but I think it’s just The Great Northern Cave you’re after. 😉

Quick question out of curiosity…When does "It’s Difficult to Stand on Two Feet" play when you are piloting the Highwind?

Regardless, your question.

It’s towards the end of that scene that It’s Difficult to Stand on Two Feet plays. But it soon changes to Highwind Takes to the Skies once Cid accepts and gameplay resumes.

Anyway, now for my question: 🙂

In keeping with my earlier question, but reversed. What is the strongest (in terms of level, HP and strength) non-boss/optional boss (regular) enemy in the game, what are it’s stats (level, HP/MP, and gil, exp and items received for defeating it), and where in the game can you find it?

And no, Ruby WEAPON doesn’t count, as that’s an optional boss enemy.

Note: you may need to refer to a bestiary for this (which is acceptable). 😉

Master Tonberry
Level – 45
HP – 44,444
MP – 100
EXP – 6,000
Gil – 6,800
AP – 200
Drops – Megalixir
Morph – Ribbon

It’s also worth noting that his special attacks are very powerful; Everyone’s Grudge damages based on how many enemies your character has killed, which can easily be an automatic 9,999, and Chef’s Knife is an auto kill under any circumstances.

There, that’s the best case I can make for it. I’ll now go and see if I’m wrong.

Also, you made a mistake with their HP – they have nowhere near that amount, although the rest of the stats you listed for them are correct (according to the official bestairy endorsed by Square they only have 8000HP, not 44000). Either way, there are a couple of other monsters who have far more HP and are far more dangerous than them.

Still, it was a good guess. 🙂

Edit: Here are a few links to other bestiaries about the HP:

http://www.ffonline.com/ff7/enemies-mq.htm
http://www.rpgplace.net/ff7/misc/bestiary.php
http://squarehaven.com/games/PlayStation/Final-Fantasy-VII/guide/bestiary.php?Find=tonberry&=find+monster

I’ll note that there were a few that had the 8,000 figure, but I suspect that this comes from a typo in the Official Strategy Guide, which many sites probably used as a source, and that the 44,444 figure comes from actual in-game research. If anyone can go back and fight one to test this, that would be helpful, because this is QUITE a discrepancy among sources. Sorry if I’m beating a dead horse here, Enkidoh, but I’m really curious about this.

Level 54
HP 13,000
MP 400
EXP 4,000
AP 300
Gil 2,800
Drop Cauldron, X-Potion
Morph Vaccine

With the following ATK, MAG and DEF stats:

ATK 160
MAG 65
DEF 150

Also FF1WAT, I did consider that the FFVII guide might have been wrong, so I checked up on FAQs online, and they all said the same thing. But again, that might have just been because they themselves used the official guidebook for reference.

Having said that though, I have heard that the HP damage number that appears on screen is not always the actual amount of damage being dealt, due to a bug in the game’s programming. So, it might be that they indeed have only 8000 HP but due to this bug it seems to require far more effort to kill them. But maybe I’m just clutching at straws here. :p

Anyway, DH got the answer I was looking for, so he can have the next question. 😀

EDIT- actually re-reading your post has made me think whether it’s "Holding My Thoughts In My Heart" (after defeating the boss on the highway)

One final piece is Still More Fighting continues to play after the Rufus boss battle, even after control switches back to Aeris, Barret and Red XIII on the ground floor. It fades out once Tifa appears however.

Shinra Company/Theme outside the HQ.

Infiltrating Shinra inside the HQ.

Trail Of Blood after Cloud and Co. escape prison.

Next question is yours paarish.

How many wings does Sephiroth’s final form have?

nope 😀

None.

your turn Withope

Bottom of the well.

And please be specific as to whose tank has which quote.

Bonus points for identifying the scratching apparatus.

But other than that, I don’t know.

Also I think there have already been a couple of questions that no-one actually managed to answer, so this isn’t new. :p

Can’t remember exactly what they wrote but that should be close, right?

In the Junon Underwater Reactor, three musical themes are played for that whole section, with one of them being played twice. What are the three themes and which one is played twice?

If you want to be really pedantic Still More Fighting can also be counted too, as it plays during the Carry Armor boss battle. 😉

As we all know (or should know by now), each character in the game has their own unique Limit Breaks, the effects of which are not replicated by a Limit Break of any other character. However, there is an exception to this rule.

Which two characters share a Limit Break in terms of the effect or bonus the Limit Break gives, what are the names of the Limit Break abilities in question, and what effect do they have on the party (if any)?

They both cause game over screens heal the party.

As for the effect, Healing Wind and Clear and Tranquil both heal the party’s HP by half. I think the reason for the duplication was to compensate for Aeris’s ‘forced removal’ from the party in discs 2 and 3, so that players can set Yuffie up as an alternative healer. Not that Yuffie’s magic skills were particularly powerful though. But I digress…

Anyway, your go Gumwrapper. 😀

Name the fights, bonus points for naming the musical score being played.

Shinra Electric Power Company plays when the Proud Clod appears in Sector 8 of Midgar in disc 2, and the resultant story scene with Scarlet and Heidegger, and continues to play during the battle against it.
J-E-N-O-V-A plays in the Northern Crater at the end of the game, between the area where the party pauses to hand over items to Cloud and the Core of the Planet where Jenova SYNTHESIS is fought. The theme continues to play during any random encounters en route to the boss battle.
Bombing Mission plays during the initial scenes right at the start of the game in Sector 1, along with any random battles fought in that area. Although the theme then changes to Mako Reactor, and the battle theme changes to Fighting, Bombing Mission returns at the reactor’s core when the Guard Scorpion is fought, and remains during any random battles fought during the escape from the reactor.

I hope that covers all bases.

Also when Cloud is whizzing through the lifestream and omnislashing Sephiroth the music is the same.

‘Fighting’ will usually always play on a timed battle run.

But at any rate, Withope got most of them.

For many characters, there are two limit breaks per limit break level. Excluding Vincent and Cait Sith, how do you unlock the first limit break of each level? Also how do you unlock the second limit break of each level?

What is the one spell monsters can use against the heroes that the heroes do not have access to?

Since the question can be quite vague, I am specifically thinking of a spell that has levels (i.e. ice1, ice2, ice3) IMO, hint made it too easy.

Though, I’m not sure if a monster uses Aero3, I do know they use Aero1.

It was in FFVI, but it’s not present in FFVII. However, game tells you otherwise;) What is it?

Nice little FFVI reference that not many people notice.

There is some other FFVI reference, that has something to do with what you (don’t) have in inventory;)

If there is no answer for another 24h, Enkidoh wins this one:)

Other than that, I have no idea what else it could be.

Another Hint: You can "get" it only on CD1 and it’s very easy to miss. VERY.

It’s Tincture😉 MP recovering item exclusive to FFVI. You receive it as a prize for winning a 3rd battle at Fort Condor (before boarding the Cargo Ship you have to visit Fort Condor 3 times and fight battles there – it’s very easy to miss). However, it’s more like a glitch or programmers joke. You see a message that you received Tinctures, but in reality you received Ethers;P

Ok Enkidoh, as I said before, Your turn:)

But anyway, here’s my question:

Tifa’s old friend Johnny leaves his home, and parents, behind in Sector 7 at the start of the game to ‘go on a journey of self-discovery’. There are a number times in the game where you can see or meet the erstwhile adventurer – how many times can he be sighted, and what locations can he be found? (including his ultimate destination).

Wall Market by the Honey Bee Manor & Costa Del Sol…I’ll take a wild stab…Gold Saucer as well?

There’s still a few other places he popped up in too that haven’t been mentioned. 😉

Here’s a hint: apart from his final location (Costa Del Sol, which has already been mentioned), the places you see him are all areas in Midgar.

If no one else can get it in 24 hours, I’ll wind the question up, as it’s been going for a while.

Anyway, Withope got most of them right, but here are all the answers in case anyone else was curious:

First location: entrance to Sector 7 Slums when Cloud leaves Seventh Heaven to do the Bombing Mission on the Number 5 Reactor – in this scene he mentions that he’s leaving on a journey, and for Cloud to take care of his ‘childhood friend’.
Second location: in one of the carriages on the train to Sector 4 when Cloud is trying to avoid getting locked in when the security system goes off.
Third location: outside the Honey Bee Inn in Wall Market (you can also speak to him when Cloud is dressed as a woman, and like all the other misguided fools there doesn’t recognise him.) :p After the Sector 7 Plate collapses he’s no longer there
Final location: house in Costa Del Sol. This is his final location where he spends the rest of the game. If you don’t have Tifa in your active party when you arrive there, Tifa will spend time talking with him, causing Cloud to become jealous. Later on another girl is seen living there, presumably his girlfriend, and the two are seen living there for the rest of the game.

Anyway, Withope got two of the answers right, while Sczepan got one, so next question is Withope’s. 🙂

I apologize for the delays.

My memory’s a little foggy as I haven’t played that part in a long, long time. . . .

And neither Icicle Inn nor Gongaga Village are correct.

Agent got most of ’em, so he takes the next question.

Aerith’s Umbrella found at the Speed Square of Gold Saucer.

58 Attack, 118 Attack Percentage, and no links (evidently no AP growth).

Your go Withope.

I suppose you could also include Ramuh summon materia as well, but that’s found in the Jockey’s Lounge in disc 1 and is not a materia gained exclusively through winning a chocobo race (which I presume is what you’re after).

What are the six items (not key items) that have no practical use in the game at all, other than filling up your inventory? And where do you gain these items?

1/35 soldiers: junon, ?
masamune blade: gold saucer – speed arena
tissue: gold saucer – battle arena
super sweeper: gold saucer

doesnt the amount of tissues u have determine the difficulty of the monster arena?

And no, tissues do nothing to effect the difficulty of the battle arena – that was just a rumour. They’re completely useless, hence this question. 😉

1/35 Soldier – two can be found searching the barracks in Upper Junon, but you can get more by winning them at Gold Saucer’s Speed Square.
Masamune Blade – won at Gold Saucer’s Speed Square
Super Sweeper – won at Gold Saucer’s Speed Square
Tissue – Consolation prize after fighting in any battle at the Gold Saucer Battle Arena, regardless whether you win or lose.
Dio’s Autograph – Won at Gold Saucer’s Speed Square
Combat Diary – Won at Gold Saucer’s Speed Square

Anyway Withope, your go. 🙂

Anyway, if Withope doesn’t post a question I’ll just open it up to whoever wants it.

You’re correct. Both Dio’s Autograph and Combat Diary can be won in subsequent battles in the secret duel, after you have the Final Attack Materia.

What is Cloud’s mother’s name?

It’s either that or simply "…a puppet"

And it’s after the fight with JENOVA-LIFE (ironic name, if you ask me)

You got close, so next question is yours swami.

Name one instance she speaks.

Keeping with the theme, what items can you get from the lockers on the 64th floor?

But I’m probably wrong on the first two. :p

Hint: the second accessory gives a positive status effect if equipped.

Anyway, your go Withope. =)

Which summons cast negative status effects upon your enemies – along with damage?

Choco/Mog with light damage and chance of inflicting Stop on enemies.
Hades deals non-elemental damage to all enemies, inflicts Poison, Confusion, Sleep, Silence, Mini, Frog, Slow, and Paralysis.

Your turn.

That makes four total.

Hint: you can check it after Cloud spends the night at Seventh Heaven upon returning from the Number 1 Reactor.

Bonus points if you can get the exact quote. 😉

http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/2/applause.gif

to whoever gets the answer correct :p

http://www.gifbin.com/bin/1233095777_904ca83.gif

http://www.gifsoup.com/webroot/animatedgifs/263765_o.gif

The Mythbusters destroyed them…

I remember reading it through my first or second run-through of the game, but I really can’t recall what it said. For some reason a statement which is crude comes to mind. And I do not have any PlayStation nor FFVII to test it out, the YouTube walkthroughs, and google isn’t helping neither.

And I do not see anyone else taking a stab at it so…what exactly does it say?

That screenshot is from the PC version though, as I think there is some slight differences in the quote. But fundamentally they’re basically the same.

Anyway, I already told DH the answer a while ago over the phone so DH’s answer doesn’t count. Hence, it’s a free question to whoever wants it. 🙂

It’s worth noting though that Sapphire Weapon was never actually named in the game (it’s the first one seen that attacks Junon only to be destroyed by the Sister Ray), but it was apparently named as such in the Ultimania guide, so given the lack of in-game name it’s just easier to refer it as this. 😉

There’s two things that are not quite right in this image (although they’re both connected to each other). What are they?

Hint: one of them might be difficult to notice at first, but is obvious once you realize it. 😉

The second one is related to the setting of that battle (you might have to look really hard at the battle’s terrain in that pic to get the answer.)

And yes, I hacked her back into the party with a save file trainer for that screenshot (using the PC version) – I think it was a Master Tonberry which took out Cloud in that battle. :p

Anyway, as you both one part of the question right, whoever wants to post a question first can have it. 😀

Rather appropriate too, given Nibelheim’s name origins lie in Norse mythology. 😉

What is the way to get the elixir that is just out of reach on top of the cupboard in a house in Kalm?

Your go Agent.

And Meteor is a reoccurring spell throughout the series too so that doesn’t count either.

The character name I’m looking for only appeared in FFIV.

———- Post added at 02:13 PM ———- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ———-

rune blade

And to think I thought this was an easy question. :p

I may as well give a hint: this reference occurs in disc 1.

Ahem. Is it one of the things in Dio’s showroom?

But, it is indeed during the play – that’s all I’ll mention as anything more will give it away. :p

I didn’t consider the Dragon King Valvados being a reference to Barbracia in FFIV though, because the name ‘Valvalis’ in the original US SNES version was a mistranslation, so I don’t think that was a deliberate reference.

Anyway, good job! Your turn. 🙂

….called John Speedy 🙂

Did I geddit, did I geddit, did I geddit? 😀

———- Post added at 04:46 AM ———- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ———-

Okay I’ll give you one tip, it can be found in Cosmo Area.

But I looked up the bestiary at the back of the guidebook to find it, so my answer won’t count. :p

In the item shop on the first floor of the Shinra Building there is a video monitor which shows an advertisement for ‘Shinra Motor Mobiles’ (which can be inspected by Cloud the first time you enter the Shinra Building in disc 1).

Excluding the ‘Mako Engine’ and the ‘SS Wishbone Suspension System’ shown at the end, how many cars are shown in the video? (Bonus points if you can name the model numbers for each car.) 😀

Having said that I’ll take a guess at the answer: Is it 3?
……and I think I should forget about the bonus point here.

I have to hand it to you Enki, you know your stuff and ask the most difficult of questions.

I just think he sees random things in the game and asks questions on them 😀

Anyway, your answer is right Gal 😀 There were indeed 3 cars shown in the video. Well done!

For those wondering, there are the cars shown (the type is more less what’s written in bad English in the video): pA-86 short-wheel-based wide 4 wheel 2-seater; sA-27 light-weight 3-wheeled single seater; s-510 (new model) driver-only big sedan.

As for how I think these questions up, I really have to rack my brain to come up with some of these, especially trying to think of interesting questions people haven’t already mentioned. It’s not easy. :p

Anyway, your question Gal. 😀

WTF!!!! I actually GOT ONE??????? That was a totally RANDOM guess, hell I’ve never even played the game! LOL :D…….(why the sudden honesty I ask myself?)…….Ummm, ahem…yes indeed, I knew the answer all along, I chose not to go for the bonus point just because I wanted to be a sport and give someone else a chance. In fact I’ve searched every nook and cranny in this game, there’s nothing I don’t know about it……(there that’s better:))

Well here’s my question…..(yeah, even though I never played the game, I’ve still got a question) :

Name the 13 different Areas on the World Map of FF VII.

Midgar Area, Grasslands Area, Junon Area, Woodlands Area, Mideel Area, Gongaga Area, Gold Saucer Area, Cosmo Area, Wutai Area, Corel Area, Nibel Area, North Corel Area, Rocket Launch Pad Area, Icicle Area.

Midgar Area, Grasslands Area, Junon Area, Woodlands Area, Mideel Area, Gongaga Area, Gold Saucer Area, Cosmo Area, Wutai Area, Corel Area, Nibel Area, North Corel Area, Rocket Launch Pad Area, Icicle Area.

My bad….can’t count apparently.

You’re correct of course.
Your turn Mister Bigshot-Isn’t-there-14! 🙂

My question… and hopefully not a hard one.

What is written on the plaque on Jenova’s head?

Copyright Squaresoft 1996 Made in Hong Kong

I doubt that’s completely right though.

It’s Made in Hong Kong. All Rights Reserved 1996. Squer Company Limited.. And also all in caps (a screenshot of the image in question can be found here: )

Advent Childen, Last Order, and Crisis Core changed the words though to something more fitting though (the original writing seems to be a ‘signature’ of members of the development team or their sub-contractors, as scattered throughout many of FFVII’s field backgrounds are the numbers ‘1996’ and ‘1997’, obviously alluding to the years of FFVII development.).

But I digress. :p

EDIT: I first checked the answer to this question with one of my own screenshots, but I couldn’t be bothered uploading it so I just used the FF Wiki image instead.

"MADE IN HONG KONG"
"ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 1996"
"SQUER COMPANY LIMITED"

You were quite close JohnnyMercyside, but I have to give it to Enkidoh as he even got the spelling typo correct. Next question is yours Enkidoh.

EDIT: In Last Order and Advent Children, the plaque read:

"STRICT SECRECY"
"SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY SECTION"
"SHIN-RA COMPANY LIMITED"

As Enkidoh added to that change as well, extra credit goes to him (in rep points).

Yuffie – Throw
Red XIII – Fire?, Poison?
Cait Sith – Manipulate

Also, one of Red XIII’s materia is incorrect (but Fire is right – he just has one more materia he joins the party with).

So, there is still one person still to get, and their materia. 😉

Any guesses?

However, Withope got most right (only missing Sense command materia that Red XIII joins with, that Johnny correctly mentioned), so I’m going to award next question to you Withope. Well done. 🙂

Your go.

If anyone knows the names please feel free to jump in.

& no, "Off the Edge of Despair" does not include the main theme. Nice try though.

There are other pieces with the main theme in the game.

Here’s a hint: Think of at what point movies or video games play their main theme.

Edit: going by your Hint the only one I could think that would match would maybe Hurry Faster and weapon raid but now im pretty much just guessing.

Partially plays in Lifestream (the track that plays in Bugenhagen’s Planetarium)
Who Am I? (track that plays at various times, usually when Cloud is grappling with his split personality)
Interrupted by Fireworks also includes a slight variation as well (the track that first plays during Cloud’s date scene at Gold Saucer on the monorail)
Steal the Tiny Bronco! (self explanatory, plays during the FMV scene after defeating Palmer and the Tiny Bronco takes off).

And the Main Theme also appears at various times in both A World Crisis and Staff Roll (the end credits) as well. 😉

I won’t include "Lifestream," and I’ve even re-listened just to try to find something I missed, but I don’t feel Uematsu intended "Lifestream" to share the main theme. They both have similar melodies, but they just sound different. Maybe he did intend it, but I just don’t hear it.

Ohhhh, you guys are soooo close.

Another hint: I’m willing to bet you’ve heard one of these pieces a lot – on the third disc.

I admit, I have no idea what else it could be, as the only other tracks that feature the main theme in disc 3 that I know of have already been mentioned.

Baby Boink:
6 – "Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII," "Steal the Tiny Bronco," "The Highwind takes to the skies," "On that day five years ago," "Holding my thoughts in my heart," & "World Crisis"

Enkidoh:
3 – "Who am I?," "Interrupted by Fireworks," "Staff Roll"

More hints: There are two more pieces left that include the main theme. Both of them are on the darker side. Again, one of these pieces is heard a lot on the third disc (of the game. not the OST), and the other is heard when you find out that "this guy are sick."

You may think that Baby Boink has already won BUT WAIT!!!! I am now accepting extra credit to this question! =0 So really, Enkidoh you could tie him (if you get both correct and you get the extra credit).

Hint for extra credit:
This form of the main theme is not on the OST. You can only hear it within the game.

As for the first clue, is it the alternate version of Those Chosen By the Planet? (the tolling bell theme with the added string movement, that often plays during cutscenes? – that last clue gave it away, because it’s indeed not on the official OST CD album, but is available in the PSF rip of the OST. ;)).

@Enkidoh, "Underneath the Rotting Pizza" is indeed correct. & trust me, it does incorporate the main theme.

I apologize if I wasn’t too clear, but I am requiring 2 that include the main theme, and 1 that will count for extra credit (so it could be 3 in total). It isn’t the variation of "Those Chosen by the Planet" for either the required variation or the extra credit variation.

Hint for required variation:
You hear this piece in the crater along with one other main place in this game…

Hint for extra credit variation:
You could hear this variation of the main theme – in this game, or you could hear some Chopin, Mozart, or Liszt – in this game – if you really wanted… Oh, and it won’t ever me on a PSF file. You have to play the game to hear it.

I also remember now that the Main Theme also shows up in the background of the FMV sequence for the ‘final battle’ after defeating Safer Sephiroth (along with a few other tracks). But that’s a long shot.

Hint for required variation:
There are two pieces that regularly play on the world map. One is "Main Theme of FFVII" & the other is…?

Hint for extra credit variation:
Think Nibelheim, think Tifa’s Final Heaven.

As for the second one, all I can come up with for that second clue is Anxious Heart, the piece that plays in Nibelheim (and a few other areas). which someone else already mentioned and you never mentioned if it was right. so presumed it wasn’t, hence why I never mentioned it – although I’m puzzled by your reference to Tifa’s level 4 Limit Break, because the piece of music you have to play on the piano to receive it is just the Main Theme anyway (apparently you can also play Highwind Takes to the Skies there as well, but I don’t think that gives you anything.

Anyway, I think this question has gone on long enough as everyone else seems to have given up, so right or wrong just tell us the answer Withope. 😉

Here are all the spots that the main themes plays…
Main Theme Of FFVII (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UARM4q7hHU): Self explanatory
Underneath The Rotting Pizza (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8o9gGOKEg4#t=00m30s): 00:30 – 00:55. Listen to the string section. It shows off the Main theme of Final Fantasy VII. The melody and key signature are altered, but it is very much a variation of the main theme.
Who Am I? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vbudyTPelE): Right off the bat you can hear it. It’s just in a different key signature and different time signature.
Holding My Thoughts in My Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf3CJZAAz2g): Different time signature and a bit embellished.
On That Day 5 Years Ago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALEwLnq1ZrI): Right off the bat. Different key signature.
Steal the Tiny Bronco! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvIyaygeMW0): After the intro, it shows up much like in the fashion of "The Highwind Takes to the Skies."
Interuped by Fireworks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Pi9xgOXvTs#t=00m56s): 00:56 – 01:13. This one I was a bit reluctant to adding as a variation of the main theme. But the more I listen to it, the more I see it.
Highwind Takes to the Skies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dnl6NoEVdo): Pretty obvious. The A section of this piece is certainly a variation of the main theme.
The Great Northern Cave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAReag1yzEY#t=02m45s): 02:45 – 03:02. Sad and desolate. Altered melody but certainly a variation of the main theme.
World Crisis Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_nnuO2QTEk#t=00m38s): 00:38 – 01:48. I love this. The main theme (Cloud’s Theme) intertwined with Tifa’s Theme. I would so love to hear an orchestra version of this entire piece…
World Crisis Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_nnuO2QTEk#t=05m03s): 05:03 – 05:30. Different time signature. Altered melody.
Staff Roll Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgb6peaKCSc#t=02m30s): 02:30 – 03:12. Very much in the style of "Highwind Takes to the Skies."
Staff Roll Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgb6peaKCSc#t=06m01s): 06:01 – end. Very climactic version of the main theme…as it should be.

Anyways. That would mean Enkidoh and Baby Boink are both tied. The first or you 2 to tell me the key signature of "Main Theme Of FFVII" will be rewarded the next question.

Name all the various variations of the Chocobo Theme which appear in FFVII. This includes the themes used in Gold Saucer as well, or which simply have the name ‘chocobo’ in their title.

Bonus points for those who can name which of the above themes includes a homage to a well-known 60’s rock song in it’s melody, including the name of the song that it references and the band who wrote it. 😉

You missed Fiddle de Chocobo though (the track that plays during the actual Chocobo Races, as well as in the Races lobby), although you did even remembered tracks like Farm Boy (the Chocobo Ranch track), and the variations of the Fanfare that play at the end of the Chocobo Race that I also indeed was looking for, on account of me trying to be a smart arse and hope no one would think of them. 😉

And Electric de Chocobo was the one that indeed has a well-known 60’s rock song in it’s melody – the surf track Wipeout! by The Safaris (Uematsu has stated in interviews that he is a huge fan of classic 60’s American rock and roll and a lot of his music features references to the rock and roll era, Electric de Chocobo being one of them).

Anyway, good job! Your go Agent. 😀

The climber who sacrificed himself to save Holzoff on Gaea’s Cliff was named Yamski. Holzoff tells you this the first time you arrive at his cabin (whether normally or through passing out in the Great Glacier and awakening in the cabin).

There’s my guess. =0

Your go Withope.

Which limit break can do the most damage to enemies and bosses alike?

Olde, you get next question.

(Barrett’s Ungarmax is what I was originally looking for. 20 hits of 9,999 is second best to Cait Sith’s Game Over)

Edit: Olde, your signature is going along with the music I’m working on right now. It’s too lol.

Your turn 🙂

But my mind is hazy and I’m too lazy to check my screenshots to double check it. 😉

Your go, Enkidoh.

1 and only place to verse a Tonberry is in the Monster Arena…

I think it’s in the northern crater the first time you visit it before cloud gives him the black materia, in the part of the whirlwind maze, but you can’t fight it there since the game is incomplete, you can only encounter it on the gold saucer and it has 15000 HP.

I’m not trying to be nasty 7alentine, just I wanted to clarify your earlier point. 🙂

As for my question, Revan is correct, so next question is Revan’s. 😀

Curse you Revan 😉

I already am lol

in the Sector 7 Slums, just out the front of the Pillar that Reno blows up there are two guards guarding the southern route.
Where does that route connect?

Anyway, here’s my question:

Which Enemy Skill is the only one that you can cast even after completely exhausting your MP? (in other words, the spells costs zero MP to cast). As well, what effect does the spell have, which monster can you learn this spell from, and where in the game are they located? (the last two should be obvious once you know the spell) 😉

i’d still give it to Agent though

Anyway, it’s your turn Agent. 🙂

Okay, according to the "Mog House" game, how old is Mog? There are two different answers, I’ll take either or both answers.

Exactly how long moogles live for though is anyone’s guess.

What is the time shown on the archway clock in the square in Midgar’s Sector 8 in the opening FMV scene?

Interestingly, when Cloud later heads through there after bombing the Number 1 reactor, the clock appears to say 2:35 am, yet when Cloud is on the train a few moments later, the train announcer mentions that their estimated time of arrival is 12:23 am. I guess Midgar’s clocks aren’t very accurate. :p

Anyway, your go 7altentine. 🙂

So what do you have to do (or not do) in order to modify these bosses’ stats – prior to battle?

Also, what do you have to do (or not do) in order to change how many parties fight Bizarro Sephiroth?

I’m counting this question in terms of points, so there are 15 points possible. If anyone achieves 8 or more points, they will be rewarded the next question. 2nd place gets this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxAKFlpdcfc).

3 Stat Modifiers of Bizarro Sephiroth:

This is excluding Aerith and it only includes Vincent and Yuffie if you aquired them in your party.

I’m not doing all the official rules but that should get me at least one point! 😉

2 points for JohnnyMercyside! For the other party set ups, aim at a lower level.

Also, feel free to answer multiple times.

Hint:
The battle before Bizarro Sephiroth and how you play that battle, plays a role in the stat and party modification.

And another thing your revealed answers remind me of is that if you have one of either Vincent or Yuffie you can’t get 3 parties, you have a maximum of two. And if you have neither you can’t get more than 1 party.

I presume level also has something to do with it too but I’m not sure.

I understand that this question would require just too much number memorization, so if you are in the ball park, I’ll give it to ya.

JohnnyMercyside has acquired 2 points, & Enkidoh has acquired 2 points!

JohnnyMercyside – 4 points
Enkidoh – 2 points

There are 9 remaining points! Remember… If you acquire 8 or more total points, you will be rewarded the next question!

Hint:
Think of one of the quickest ways to wipe out Jenova SYNTHESIS. That method of wiping out Jenova SYNTHESIS has an affect on Safer Sephiroth’s stats and Bizarro Sephiroth’s stats.

& yes, Enkidoh. Level has a lot to do with the stat modification.

I also know that if you have characters at level 99 it increases Safer’s HP as well (maybe other stats too? I remember it affected HP at least).

Obviously Meltigemini won this question.

Now I’m reminded of my low level game, in that you needed a lot of money and the best way of making it early on was stealing and selling Ethers. But what is the first enemy you encounter that you can steal Ethers from, and where do you fight them?

You can even visit his parents who still live there, and who state they haven’t heard from him in four years, unaware of his death.

This is based purely on the original game – information from the Compilation doesn’t count in this thread.

I’m not trying to be nasty here just I think you’ve gotten Cloud and Zack’s histories mixed up. :p

anyway someone else can take the next turn

anyways, i can’t think of any questions. someone else take it.

here’s my guess…

shadow flare, chocobuckle, and pandora’s box

here’s my guess…

shadow flare, chocobuckle, and pandora’s box

Actually… Shadow Flare has appeared in earlier FF’s.

In FFIII it was a Geomancer ability, which appeared randomly in caves/dungeons.

In FFV, mix two Dark Matters together.

In FFVII, of course it was a Enemy Skill.

In FFVIII and XI it’s known as Dark Flare.

Chocobuckle also appears in FFVIII, though it’s only available via completing Chocobo World via the PocketStation.

I know that Pandora’s Box, L4 Suicide, Magic Breath and Beta are unique to FFVII alone…

All right, Revan, you can have the question if you want it, otherwise it reverts to Withope.

here’s a simple one.

which armor has the highest magic defense and regular defense?

Anyone else?

I think I might have to give a hint – besides being mentioned as a single aircraft, the Gelnika is also a class of aircraft, like the Ragnarok in FFVIII.

Basically, how many Gelnikas are there? – Find this and you’ll have the answer. 😉

there are 3 airships, the Highwind and two Gelnika-type carrier planes

You’re slightly off with the amount of Gelnikas there are 7alentine, but you are very close (I’m actually looking at a screenshot of Junon’s airport in that part of the game to verify it.). Another guess? 🙂

Your go. 🙂

(I don’t think it’s possible to get 8-slot armour or weapons on disc 1 so you can’t equip any more when Aeris is alive)

But I’m too lazy to check it.

Even if both were to actually have eight, you couldn’t have 9 x 8 armours with eight slots, so you still couldn’t equip as much materia on disc 1 with nine characters as you can on disc 2 with eight.

Looks like I was completely wrong anyway so never mind. ;o

What is the name of the bar next to the theater where ‘Loveless’ is performed at in Midgar’s Sector 8? (the bar’s name can be seen in the opening movie)

Hint: it’s also the name of a common recurring FF monster which even appears in FFVII. 😉

Your go. 😀

But as far as the storyline is concerned, the last boss you fight prior to the Jenova LIFE battle is Demon’s Gate.

So I guess then Dyne would be the last boss you’d fight before you can first access that area in that manner to learn Aqualung. 🙂

Anyway, your go. 🙂

Let’s say that you are using a cheat that eliminates all the battles in game (no random encounters and no boss battles). When will you get stuck and unable to proceed with the plot, unless you turn it off?

Other than that, I have no idea.

But you can do that at any time in the game, even disc 1, so I don’t think that’s what you’re after (such a cheat wouldn’t crash the game in that regard, only rendering it impossible to gain Yuffie).

The only other thing I can think of is at the Corel Reactor, where as Cid you have to fight two Shinra Attack Squad troopers before Cid can jump onto the locomotive to chase down the coal train carrying the Huge Materia – as the battle is initiated by speaking to the soldiers guarding the reactor, skipping battles would effectively cancel this out – making the troopers remain on the map and hence blocking your forward progress.

Ok, as I’ve said earlier, next question goes to Enkidoh.

Besides Shinra soldiers, various mechanical weaponry and Rufus, who is the only other Shinra employee to use a gun in battle?

It’s odd how the Turks don’t use guns in battle, instead preferring hand-to-hand attacks. But I digress.

Your go Johnny. 🙂

What does the acronym PHS stand for?

I read many years ago that the PHS was an actual real type of phone then available in Japan, but that might have just been hearsay by gullible fans.

Anyway, your turn Sczcepan. 🙂

That is my question. Where is the another place where you can meet Mukki and why is he there? 🙂

I know, you gotta love those character sprites not changing, reminds me of Luly being "pregnant" in FFX-2 😀

Question – There are three characters with physical disfigurements in the game. Who are they and what part of the body parts are disfigured?

Technically Tifa should have a big scar across her abdomen as well (where Sephiroth slashed her), but she doesn’t for some reason. 😉

Your turn 🙂

Technically Tifa should have a big scar across her abdomen as well (where Sephiroth slashed her), but she doesn’t for some reason. 😉

Don’t forget Cloud should have a scar in his shoulder where Sephiroth stabs him. Then Vincent has a golden claw for a hand.

And don’t get me started on Jenova…

Which playable character in the game briefly has a part-time job in Costa del Sol during the events of the game, and what job do they do?

Which playable character in the game briefly has a part-time job in Costa del Sol during the events of the game, and what job do they do?

Yuffie is a snack food vendor I believe.

Hint, the job she does is appropriate for her personality in the game. 😉

Anyway, either Sczcepan or Gumwrapper can have the next question. 😀

Which character can you go on a date with during the scripted Gold Saucer event and How do you get the "secret" two?

The game’s set up so that you’re most likely to get Aeris but if you keep treating her badly (call her slum drunk etc) your compatibility with her falls and you’re more likely to get Tifa. Again though you can raise your compatibility with Barret through things like saying his snoring kept you up. Also choosing not to take Aeris or Tifa with you when you have a choice of party (and saying no to them) will lower compatibility with both to the point where you will get Yuffie as the date. If you haven’t found Yuffie yet then you will get Barret.

There’s a lot more that goes in the background but basically it’s all about compatibility and the worse you treat Aeris and Tifa the more likely you are to get Yuffie or Barret.

Your go.

The advert that Cloud can watch in the Shinra Building’s Item store mentions it.

What items you can gain by talking to other passengers when moving through the carriages of the train to Sector 4 in Midgar early in the game (after the security alarm goes off)?

Bonus points if you can mention which passengers give what item. 😉

Your go Rev. 🙂

Give it to Johnny since he got 2/3.

What is the fifth place you MUST visit after leaving Midgar? So that means Fort Condor doesn’t count, or other areas you can avoid.

Of course if you count Junon as two separate towns (the village and the Shinra base) then the Cargo Ship would indeed be the fifth area.

But I prefer the former answer. 😉

Kalm – Chocobo Ranch – Mythril Mines – Fort Condor – Junon – Cargo Ship – Costa del Sol

Your go Johnny. 🙂

What enemy uses a move called Aurora Fence and what does it do?

———- Post added at 03:05 AM ———- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ———-

***Spoiler Alert*** ABANDON ALL WANK YE WHO ENTER HERE
I’m noticing quite a bit of questions that can be found in any strategy guide. Here are a couple that you’d either have to dig for, play through the game to find or have an awesome memory to know off hand.
1: What is Red XIII’s real name, and what tribe used _______ to turn his _______ into ________?
2: What was the name of Tifa’s world acclaimed martial arts trainer?
3:Cloud is a failed Sephiroth clone, as we find out in the game. What number clone is he hinted to be, as he doesn’t have a number and his place in the order of which they were created was disregarded?

———- Post added at 03:17 AM ———- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ———-

No answers on my trivia yet? 🙁 Someone has to know some of this. COME ON GUYS! Give it the old college try.

I don’t mean to sound harsh, but try to keep to the rules of the thread (namely, wait for confirmation from the previous question’s poster before posting your own question, unless a long time has passed and the original poster has since disappeared). Also, only post one question at a time – this isn’t an examination of FFVII Trivia. 😛

I’m really sorry Shadowboxer for having a go at you like that. I know it’s belated now, but welcome to the Shrine anyway! 🙂

Enkidoh gets the next question. ShadowBoxer you will get your turn I’m sure 🙂

Long-time FF players may be familiar with the ‘Moai’, a stone ‘Easter-Island-head’ that often appears in the background in various FF games. Whereabouts in FFVII’s world does the Moai head appear?

(Hint: there are at least two known appearances of the Moai in FFVII) 😉

For the second one, you’re getting colder, not warmer. 😉

Incidentally, it was Great Glacier where the second Moai was located – it’s hidden in the background on a cliff-face (it even shows up on the Great Glacier map if you look closely).

Anyway, free question.

What’s the name of the weapon shop in Sector 6? A clue is that it’s on the roof of the shop itself.

I’ll give it to you, it’s called "MACHINE GUN", the word "machine" is smaller than the word gun so I can see why you might have missed it.

Your turn 🙂

Hence, racing against him is no easy task (still definitely possible, but no walk in the park). 😉

Which real-world US state is emblazoned on the sign above Seventh Heaven (as well as indoors on a neon sign)?

Your go Withope.

Each characters’ ultimate weapon has a special ability that can be triggered depending on what goes on during the battle (& even before the battle).

What is the Princess Guard’s (Aeris) special ability, and how must it be activated?

It powers up whenever Aeris uses a healing spell on an injured party member (in keeping with Aeris’s White Mage-like persona). It’s even more powerful when Aeris revives KO party members (ironically enough).

I’m not sure though if it also counts her Limit Breaks in the same way.

You’re go.

How much does a mastered KOTR materia sell for?

But I’m probably wrong. :p

They’re last encountered after the Underwater Reactor, but not as late as the return to Midgar. (incidentally, there are enemies like the Attack Squads which you can encounter in the Shinra Building at the end of disc 2, but they’re not the same – those soldiers are called Grenade Combatants). 😉

Edit: All lucky 7’s post:D

Your go Szczepan. 🙂

Ok using opportunity I will ask question regarding this bonus.

When one character reaches 7777 HP he/she will automatically attack 64 times doing 7777 dmg with every hit (except Ruby). If a 3 characters reach 7777 HP at the same time, how many times will they automatically attack? 😉

So I’d say about the same – 64 hits. But that’s a wild stab in the dark here. :p

When 3 characters start the battle with 7777HP they won’t attack 192 times or anything like that;) The only difference is that they will all attack one after another, but at 64th hit the bonus ends.

Your go Enkidoh 🙂

Whereabouts in the game, and at what time, is a NPC stated as being in ‘Limit Break’ status, and who is this NPC?

(Hint: this character actually isn’t – it’s just a creative embellishment to represent achieving a certain milestone for that NPC)

Good catch with the kid in the Beginner’s Hall though Szczepan – to be honest I completely forgot about that one. :p

Either way, Melti got the one I was looking for, so next question is his.

Other than that, I have no idea what else it could be.

These are others I had thought of, I know they are only slight differences but differences all the same:

The Luck Plus materia in the Temple of the Ancients shows on screen as "Lucky Plus"
The Typhon summon shows as "Typoon" (I thought it was supposed to be "Typhoon" for so long…)
The final summon is "Knights of the Round" when you pick it up but "Knights of Round" in the menu – this is probably more just an issue of space but it is still a difference 😛

I’m sure I had thought of others when I first asked the question 😛 anyway, question open to 7alentine or Enkidoh.

What is the reason given by npcs as to why the Mythril Mines were closed down?

I’m sorry, but that’s not the correct answer.

Anyone else? (It’s pretty easy if you think about it, and know a little about FFVII’s storyline).

But here is a dumb guess… Is it because Sephiroth is slaying Midgar Zoloms for shits and giggles outside the entrance? =o

And for those wondering, speaking to the miners in the bar in Kalm mention why the mines were closed down (before the game’s beginning) and why they’re now unemployed. 😉

The reason for the closure of the Mythril Mines as stated by the miners in Kalm’s pub is the mines became infested with monsters which frightened the miners, presumably from the Mako Reactor at Fort Condor which is nearby. I’m surprised no one knew this, as I assumed it was an easy answer. :p

Anyway, Szczepan had the closest answer, so next question can be his if he wants.

Describe what happens if you fail to protect Fort Condor at CD2 and what can be done after that, so it won’t be a complete loss.

Other than that, I have no idea.

Free question to anybody who wants it.

1. "Because we’re ready to die."
2. "Because we’re sure we’ll win."
3. "Because we’re clueless."

Cornero always chose number 2 for me for some reason, but I’m not sure if that’s random or by default. :p

I’ve been doing relatively easy ones recently just to get interest in these Trivia games again. The problem with difficult questions is that the game grinds to a complete halt when no one knows the answer! I like these games so I’d like them to be as active as possible! 🙂

Also, it’s a default option, it’s part of the script 😉

(The answer to my question was if Cid is in your party as well as Tifa when inspecting the Wall Market item shop machine in disc 2 or 3, an extra scene will occur where Cid fixes the machine, allowing Tifa to gain the Premium Heart from it. If Cid isn’t in the party though Tifa just gains the Premium Heart automatically).

Anyway, free question. 🙂

Easy question I suppose, what’s Reeve’s last name?

But I believe you’re including the Compilation for this question, in which case Before Crisis, Crisis Core, On the Way to a Smile ~ Case of Denzel and Dirge of Cerberus all revealed his surname is Tuesti.

Who said the following quote: "Looking at you is making me sober."?

Hint: the scene the quote is taken from is seen in Wutai.

Complete guess! 🙂

@ Clear Spectre: welcome to the Shrine! Because you’re new here, naturally you wouldn’t be familiar with the rules for this thread, but in future, if a question has been asked, usually the person who has answered the previous question correct is the only one entitled to ask the next one. However, sometimes the next question will be opened up as a free question to whoever wants to ask.

Unfortunately, this time wasn’t one of them, as Johnny had answered my question and was the one entitled to ask the next question. Don’t feel down though – be patient and you should get the chance to ask one soon. 🙂

Anyway, Johnny got my question correct as previously stated so next question is his. 🙂

1 point for each location, 1 point for the character, 2 points for where you can buy "All" materia.

There are 5 "All" Materials that you can get without buying them. Four are found, one is automatically given when a certain character joins the team. Where are the 4 found and what character gives you the fifth? A bonus question, where can you buy "All" materia?

1 point for each location, 1 point for the character, 2 points for where you can buy "All" materia.

Red XIII is the one that comes with All already equipped
You can also get this in the slums at 7, Shinra’s ship and HQ, then Mt. Nibel, and the Great Glacier.
As far as buying it goes.. you can buy it at Fort Condor after you help with the attacks I believe.

Your turn 🙂

Your turn 🙂

Lol. Thanks. I was addicted to this game as a kid. Just got it back recently and playing through it again as we speak, which is why I posted up my short guide on here in another thread. After this run through I think I’m gonna have another run at it and make a full walkthrough of my own..

For my question someone can answer the one I posted up earlier, or I can also ask a dif question I got too that you’d have to know more detailed to answer as well if yous think it’s too easy.

Lol. Yeah, it’s Cait Sith. Your up.

..good guess btw. Wasn’t sure if ppl would get it right away or not and think it might be Vincent or someone else instead. Lol.

Johnny outside the Honeybee Manor

But you’re close.

But you’re close.

He’s just a random punk looking dude outside the Honey Bee Inn no?

Anyway, your go Clear Spectre. ^^

But, alright, here we go.. this is a 4 part question :

I. Where is the " Knowlespole " in FF7?
II. Who informs of this location?
III. How & why does this person fit into FF7?
IV. Who is this information originally told to?

The ‘Knowlespole’ is the old Cetran name for the Icicle Area on the Northern Continent – specifically Icicle Village, the Great Glacier, Gaea’s Cliff and the Northern Crater. Ilfana informs Professor Gast in his video records about this (viewable by accessing the video monitor in his house in Icicle Village), with Ilfana naturally being Aeris’s biological mother and the last full-blooded Cetra.

I remembered this info because I was referring back to that part of the game for a FFVII fanfic I was working on recently. 😉

Lol. Word, it is easy if you been there and searched the place. But yeah, you hit all questions. Your go wise one. 😛

Anyway…

Which enemy type also appears as a useless item you can win at the Gold Saucer?

Anyway…

Which enemy type also appears as a useless item you can win at the Gold Saucer?

Enemy Type : Soldier. Item : 1/35 Soldier.

Yeah, I get you on the other 1/35 Soldiers. The only other thing I can think of is Enemy Type : Sweeper Item : Super Sweeper other then the useless Tissue you get.

Your go. ^^

Your go. ^^

Why thank you.. I have been trying to think of a really good, hard to guess question for ppl. Lol. If you want, I’ll just pass the power over to you again and you can put out another question instead for right now.

Next! 😉

^_^

Anyway, your go. 🙂

Go ahead and ask the next question if you want, I don’t think Skema is going to come back soon.

didn’t show up on my screen somehow. Didn’t mean to steal anyone’s thunder there q;

As for Johnny’s question, I think the scene referred to is at the end of disc 2, where Cloud and Tifa are camped alone together on the beach with the Highwind behind them. The part where Tifa is standing really close to the camera in particular – you can see her face clearly and she clearly is shown with a mouth there.

Of course this only is relevant to the PSX version – the PC version gave all characters mouths (although, freakishly, NPCs’ mouths are stuck open! :p). I have no idea if this same treatment was given to the version on the Playstation Network though.

This was the scene I was referring to, although I’m intigued if OSFM is right too? Your go Enki 🙂

I am actually playing through FFVII again at the moment. I am playing through it on a rom. I started paying attention to this after it was pointed out above. Her mouth is also shown when her and cloud fall in to the life stream from Mideel…..

It might be the PC version that, well you and Enki can fight between you regardless :p

That or the magic pots which you have to feed elixers to, again in the northen cave?

Anyway, your go. 🙂

I couldn think of anything to ask.

It helps that im currently playing this game again so I know some of this stuff.

Name a location in the game where using this location’s ‘service’ completely restores HP but not MP. Extra points if you can state how much gil this service costs. 😉

It’s not anything in the Honey Bee Inn, but you’re close. That’s all I’m going to say. 😉

Anyway, your go. 🙂

ill try an be as specific as possible without giving it away

the shinra soldier uniform cloud wears in junion on disc one, when u have to dance for president rufus lol , who’s uniform does it belong too?????

this person has no givin name in the game so just try you’re best to explain there location

big hint but it is a tuff question

it’s Junon, not Junion.

as for the answer…although i know it’s wrong, but im gonna guess the President’s son.

as for the answer…although i know it’s wrong, but im gonna guess the President’s son.

yeah i knew that im just so tempted to stick that "i" in there every time i spell it tho lol…..
and nope thats wrong to…..one last hint im to nice to u guys lol….
the man that the uniform belongs to is not in nor part of the main story line.

Hey, how could you do that!? Nobody woke me up!

And I can’t find the uniform I left in my locker, either. I wonder if I left it somewhere…
Geez! Do you think this could be… what they call ‘bullying?’
Oh man, My future in the military, is pretty bleak.

ill pick something a little easier

What special item do you get if you max out the presidents mood when you "march" for him before you get on the boat to del sol?

EDIT: and I admit, I never knew about that NPC before – but then I didn’t really speak to any NPCs much during that part of the game. I usually waited til disc 2/3 before engaging in idle chit chat. :p

Besides Shinra MP troops, what is the only other enemy that you can encounter in random battles in the streets of Midgar’s Sector 8 after the bombing of the Number 1 Reactor early in disc 1 (before Cloud jumps onto the train)?

But you’re close. 🙂

Wow, and to think I thought this was an easy question! 😛

Anyway, free question to whoever wants it.

i don’t have anything at the moment.

anyway, what is the other key item you can dig up in Bone Village and what is its intended purpose?

Throughout the world of FFVII, the artists who worked on the backgrounds often included the numbers ‘1996’ and ‘1997’ in the background, often as a reference to the years of FFVII’s development. Name any one place in the game one of these numbers could be seen.

I know one is on Jenova’s chamber thing in Nibelheim, not sure about the other. A guess is maybe the rocket that goes into space? 🙂

Anyway Szczepan it’s your go. 🙂

Similar kind of question. Name at least two geographical locations from the real world, that names are are somehow present in FFVII.

Ok, Enkidoh got two correct so gets the next question 🙂

This should be a nice easy question – excluding the locomotive, how many carriages are on the Corel Coal Train that Cid has to stop in disc 2?

Anyway, your go Aces.

Your go 🙂

Okay – What was the name of Holzoff’s climbing partner?

I know this because that question was already asked quite a few pages back… and no one got the answer (Agent 0042 asked it).

Anyway, this question should be nice and easy.

When heading through the Train Graveyard on the way to save the Sector 7 Plate support in disc 1, Cloud has to move trains to provide a path across the rubbish to escape the place. How many locomotives does he have to move in order to open up the path?

Anyway, it’s Johnny’s go. 🙂

Four points:
1. What enemy has it?
2. How do you get it off him?
3. What’s the name of the weapon?
4. Who is it for?

The monster is an Eligor (a rare monster that resembles half an undead-looking horse fused with a carriage with a rider), the weapon is stolen from it (requires the Steal materia found earlier in the Sewers under Wall Market to be equipped to someone and the ‘Steal’ command used in battle), and the weapon in question is a Striking Staff, which is Aeris’s best weapon for a good deal of the game (it’s her most powerful weapon in terms of physical damage, at least until you get to Gongaga).

I always made sure to steal that before leaving the Graveyard, as it is really such a useful weapon for Aeris. 🙂

According to one of the sunbathers on the dock at Costa del Sol, what real-life aircraft manufacturer appeared to have made the red seaplane parked at the dock?

Your go Genie. ^^

Firstly you have to inspect the locked door at the back of the weapon shop in Mideel, before it’s destroyed by Ultima Weapon (this can be done with either Tifa or Cid as the main character), then head outside and walk (not run) along the catwalk behind the praying woman in black near the Accessory Shop. If you walk carefully in this area you should hear a tinkle sound.

Press the ‘O’ button on this spot to find a ‘A Beat Up Useless Old Key’ (despite having a ‘Received Key Item’ message, it doesn’t actually appear in the key items list – this is in fact just a variable required), then return to the door in the weapon shop. Use the key when prompted and your character will end up breaking it! You’ll then be caught by the shop owner, so answer him truthfully to be told the ‘truth’ about the door (it’s actually fake), and he’ll give you the Curse Ring. 😉

I knew about this little quest when I first played FFVII back in 1997 due to having a ‘secrets’ guide from Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine which mentioned it, amongst other things. 😀

on the side….. i remember him saying its fake but also remember him saying they hope to one day use the door as entrance into another world ? i looked all through the ff7 world looking for any reference to this door to another world. i was intrigued thinking it was some sort of "message" or "hint" to something bigger and greater about the game haha….just made me think they could totally use that to expand the ff7 universe…….just saying, im pretty positive nobody’s ever brought that up.

Another hint: it’s in the early hours of the morning.

It was 12.23 am.

Free question.

You’re not far off, but no. 🙂

He is seen in one small scene at Costa del Sol though in disc 1, after Cloud and the party first arrive there on the cargo ship – when Rufus’s helicopter lands the Shinra manager is seen being blown into the water by the helicopter :p).

(Also I’m gonna sticky this thread finally so that it won’t disappear if it’s not posted in for a while. ;)).

In the basement of the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim, there is a rarely encountered monster which references (both in design and name) a famous real-life pair of conjoined (‘Siamese’) twins. What is this monster’s name? Bonus points if you can also give me it’s stats. 😉

They’re still mind-numbing to fight though either way, although that’s their whole reason for existence – to challenge players who have accomplished everything else in the game.

Anyway, here’s a question that’s sure to stump most players:

What is the only time and place in the game where you can gain the item Vagyrisk Claw, and what enemy drops it?

Cosmo Canyon? Not sure of the time right enough lol

that’s not the current question…dood.

BTW: it seems mindblowing how I "only" played the game.
You guys seemed to have eaten the game for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack to know it so well.

Next Question (if my answer was correct): Whoever wants can post a question, I don’t feel like it.

AuraAshley: welcome to the forum! Unfortunately, this quiz is only for the original FFVII and not the compilation titles – as your question relates to Before Crisis I believe which isn’t available outside Japan and which very few people would have played as a result (myself included), I don’t think you’ll get an answer for it. If you want to post another question, feel free to. 🙂

question: name one way in which you can beat sephiroth in 3 hits

question: name one way in which you can beat sephiroth in 3 hits

which form?

I do know his Safer Sephiroth form takes considerably more effort though (one summon of KotR isn’t enough for that form), so I’m going to take a wild guess here and just say one person summoning Knights of the Round with W-Summon, and then one other person miming it.

What is Marlene’s mothers name?

anybody’s. i don’t have one now myself.

Mattbroad1994 – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/Mattbroad1994)

How many different outfits do you see Cloud in?

2. Buy it in Junon on disc 2/3…although not as sure about that one.

2. Buy it in Junon on disc 2/3…although not as sure about that one.

1) is right, but 2) isn’t, but I’ll give it to you as you’re half right. You can buy it from North Corel, on any of the discs.

Hmm my go again then…

Which materia is the first you receive in the game?

Your go.

How many minutes is the timer set for when you set the bomb and fight the first boss?

Choco/Mog, Ramuh, Titan, Odin, Leviathan, Kjata, Alexander, Phoenix, Neo Bahamut, Hades, Typhoon, Bahamut ZERO and Knights of the Round

As for your answer, two of them are incorrect, and a correct answer is also missing.

Aces4839: Odin is incorrect. Although he is one of many non-compulsory summons, he is not missable as you can get his materia at the safe in Nibelheim at any time.

JohnnyMercyside: Shiva and Ramuh are not missable. You can choose to leave the Shiva materia in Priscilla’s house when you get it, but can still retrieve it at any point. And although Ramuh may appear to be lost forever if you leave it behind in the chocobo jockey’s lounge, it can still actually be dug up later on at Bone Village. As for the one missing from your list, that would be Kjata. If you try to pick up the Kjata materia when your materia inventory is full, then due to a glitch in the game, it is lost forever!

Therefore the correct answers are: Ifrit, Bahamut, Neo Bahamut, Leviathan, Phoenix and Kjata.

Free question to whoever wants it 🙂

Anyways your go 🙂

pretty sure he means during the game, not after the final boss.

as for the actual answer…Temple of the Ancients?

welcome, welcome. and if u want to do that, make ur own thread, plz. this is the trivia thread. thx.

as for the actual answer…Temple of the Ancients?

Nope, good guess but it’s further in the game than that 🙂

Free go 🙂

Free go 🙂

both of those ARE revisitable. simply dig up the Key to Sector 8 at that place where u can dig (forget where) and you can go to both those areas.

What is the relation between Sephiroth and Vincent, and what do you have to do to get hints about this?

Who can Cloud appear with in the Gold Saucer dating game?

please hammer me if this has already been said before 🙂

I don’t know , maybe all of them !

Is anyone still alive on this forum
