You're right, that is too easy. :p

It's Cloud's Shop obviously. :D

Enkidoh, we all know you're right, and it's almost been a month, so I'll step in and say you can probably go.

No problem. :) This should be a nice and easy one.

What country did Mayor Dobe (the leader of Fisherman's Horizon) originally come from, and why did he leave it?

wasn't it Esthar? because of their policies with war or something?

i think...

Galbadia?

Frodo660 got it. Dobe was originally from Esthar, but left the country because of his pacifistic views didn't gel with Esthar's increasingly militaristic government.

Anyway, Frodo has the next question. :D

Alrighty!
This is probably going to be quite obvious but i found it quite hard to remember.

When escaping from Galbadia Prison and Squall is dangling from the walkway as it starts to go underground, which direction do you have to shimmy to safety?

right.

correct! your go!

Utilizing a certain glitch in the game, what is the most powerfull spell in the game, dis-regarding apocalypse?

The End

nope

I believe it's Meteor, by using a buffed-up Rinoa's second limit break Angel Wing.

The End is one-hit-kill though. And using glitches to obtain it, it's the strongest spell.

It is indeed Meteor. The End is also known as Apocalyspe due to bad translation.

The End = Apcalypse. They are the same spell.(different area of release)

Your go Olde

Then....what would Ultimecia's spell be called then? I'm not going by translation but by the English game so to me, The End and Apocalypse are totally different.

Yeah, they've always been two different spells to me. You can even draw Apocalypse from Ultimecia and use it.

I think IDX got it. The spell he's referring to is the command from Selphie's Slots. While it's not technically a magic spell per se, I see what he's saying, and in that case it is the strongest spell in the game if you use glitches.

Your go, IDX.

Anyone can have the question. I was just curious about how it couldn't be the strongest spell.

Okay, if no one else wants it, I guess I'll post one. :)

Apart from the Ragnarok, how many other members of that class of airship appeared during the game? (hint, they're shown during a certain FMV scene)

3

Thats a damn good question. I think i know, but i'll give others a chance, considering i went a few turns ago.

damn, just saw the message above. I believe he's right!

oops, theres 3 ships of that type, but 2 apart from the ragnorok, my bad.

There were 4. 3 to pull Adels tomb into space and Ragnarok as the flagship.

but the question was 'apart from Ragnarok'.

Is it confirmed that those 3 and the Ragnarok are the only ones in existence? Because it doesn't seem like they would have invented spaceships so advanced without having launched more than 4 of them into space throughout their space program's history.

They could've been built solely for the purpose of sealing Adel. Did they even talk about the history of those ships? I can't really remember if they did.

Well, I just relied on my memory of the game when I asked the question so I'm going to award Alexanderthegreat the question, as his second answer was correct (I remember seeing 2 other Ragnarok-class spacecraft besides the Ragnarok itself during the Adel's Tomb launch scene, so three ships total.)

What happened to them after though is anyone's guess - I suppose they were probably left in orbit like the Ragnarok. But anyway.

Alexander, it's your go. :D

What drink has a yellow label and is sweet, in the timber pub

It's been 13 days and no one has answered. Alexander the decent either post the answer or allow someone else to ask a question.

I'm going to randomly guess that it's lemonade.

It's definitely not lemonade. I seem to remember that it was one of the names used for the chocobo greens in Final Fantasy VII. It might be Krakka, but I could be wrong.

wild guess based on agents assumption, Sylkis?

Thats 2 of the possible things you can buy there, SYlkis is yellow but is bitter not sweet, Krakka is red label and bitter.

On the right track though :)

48 hours until i post the answer, or this'll just get bogged down and kill the topic.

Reagen, Mimett or Curiel... can't recall which exact one though.

I'll go with Curiel.

Curiel is correct,

What is the name of the person mentioned as the creator of Triple Triad?

Bonus points to whoever can mentioned this person's appearance in another FF title.

Orlan Durai is mentioned in the Battle Menu thing as being Triple Triad's creator, who FF purists should know first appeared as a NPC (and a player character in one memorable battle!) in FF Tactics.

It's a pity he didn't stay in the party though in FFT - 'Galaxy Stop' was pure win. But I digress... :p

That's correct. Your question Enkidoh.

Excluding Minimog, which is more an ability than a summon, what are the three GFs that cannot be equipped by characters but can only summoned using specific items in battle, and what are the items needed to summon each one?

And no, Odin/Gilgamesh don't count either, as they're uncontrollable when they show up (nor do they have items to summon them).

Pheonix, moomba, Boko.

If I remember correctly you can obtain 2 Fire Pinions in the game itself but you need the Pocket-Station to Aquire the Freindship potion (moomba) and Gyshal Green (Chocobo).

Wasn't it also possible to summon Mini-mog using a GF ability you can only get from Pocket station as well?

That's right on all counts. Although I didn't include Minimog because it's indeed an ability you can have any regular GF in the game learn by using Mog's Amulet. Equipping this 'ability' to a character allows them to summon Mog in battle, who restores a GF's HP in return for gil.

And yes, Mog's Amulet can only be gained from the Chocobo World minigame, along with the Friendship item needed to summon Moomba. Chocobo World can only be played using an imported Pocketstation for the PSX version, although it's included as a separate program with the PC version of FFVIII. But I digress...

Anyway Techchild, you got it so it's your question. :D

Boko is the chicobo in FF8, but which 3 games beforehand (in the main series) were the name used??

I can think of FFV and FFIII (I think). . . .

one more game to go.

FFVII . . . ?

FF Tactics, where there was a battle where you could add him as a member of your party (and who would then endlessly fill the blank spaces in your party list with eggs!) :p

EDIT: stupid me didn't notice you mentioned 'main series', so disregard my answer. :p

I'll give you all a clue:

''500,000!''

Ah, FFVI. :p

I seem to recall a Boko doll (or something similar) being sold in the Jidoor Auction House. But it's been ages since I last played FFVI so I can't remember exactly.

Its not a doll.

Well its been a few days, so the answers are as follows.

FF III: Boko is an npc who gives you Phoenix Downs in exchange for 50,000 gil.

FF V: Bartz's pet chocobo

FF VI: Child and Grandpa buy Boko the talking Choco for 500,000 gp.

Next question to whoever posts next.

Alright, I'll take it.

Name three of the top four spells for junctioning to the strength stat. I'll accept any three, even if you name 2-4, which *hint hint* I wouldn't expect.

Ultima, Meteor, and... Aura?

ultima, meteor, full-life ?

Olde is correct. Actually, 3 and 4, which are Aura and Triple, are tied, so you named the top three. Your question.

All right, this one should be easy. When can you first get the Meltdown spell and how?

Refining mystery fluids (gotten from card modding gayla cards) using status magic refine from diablos.

Exactly. Your turn.

Its been over a week now, so I'm keeping this alive.

What does Cid Kramer whisper to Squall and Zell when you pass the SEED Exam??

to squall, "finally a gunblade specialist."
to zell, "try and control your emotions a little."

and now its your go

what item do you recieve, and what does it do for you, when you complete the talking stones quest in northern esthar/ south of shumi village?

I'm assuming its the Friendshp Stone, allowing you to summon Moomba

its not the friendship stone. its something that expands your ability slots

I believe Three Stars is the correct answer. And after when you go to the small island west of trabia it tells that there is a treasure on at Minde Isle wich is the Luck-J-Scroll.

What is the last thing Selphie writes on her diary?

Believe

love and friendship a plan of courage a plan sir laguna came up with a marvelous plan. I believe in it Here we GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

or something along those lines,

I believe Three Stars is the correct answer. And after when you go to the small island west of trabia it tells that there is a treasure on at Minde Isle wich is the Luck-J-Scroll.

What is the last thing Selphie writes on her diary?

yes it is, mr impatient.


# anyone gonna ask a new question???

to get the ball rolling again...

whats the name of the scientist whom you share the escape pod with after abandoning the space station?

Piet? I think...

Yep its Piet. Did you ever go and find the crashed pod when you get back? Its not on the map but if you wander aimlessly around south esthar you find it.

Your go Melti

Yeah, I bumped into it. Think Piet is still there but not much really happens...

What enemy, other than Malboro uses Bad Breath?

would it be Ochu?

Nope.

If you want a hint, it's not as bad as the Bad Breath the Malboro uses, the only status change it causes is Slow.

Hmm, I think it might be the Grendel.

Nope, Grendel does have a Breath attack but not Bad Breath. :p

I'll give this one a couple more days.

that would be a geezard, the bad breath attack is just as pathetic as the geezard itself (even more so if you have auto-haste :D )

Yep that's right :D your turn!

Well since no one has gone yet how about this.
Very simply: What does "Liberi Fatali" mean. An easy one I know but then that is how we all start off :)

Fated children

Yup!

Ok. Before the end of 3rd disc Odin is killed by Seifer and replaced with Gilgamesh. But Odin doesn't have to die and he can still appear on 4th CD. How is that possible?

Just don't go and get Odin until you've reached the fourth disc.

Correct:) Your go Agent.

Right on. Okay, which character, when you engage them to play cards, comments, "You wanna play cards now?!"

Is it Cid Krammer?

I'm pretty sure it's Ellone on the space station.

Might it be Xu?

Olde has the right answer - his go.

All right, a question in the same vein: What does Edea say when you challenge her to a card game at her house?

Get lost Squallie no-face!.....sorry I've no idea man.

I will crush you! Like a CRACKER over SOUP! MMM THANK YOU, THAT'S DELICIOUS!!

I may be wrong though...

Sorry for nearly wiping out your party with my awesome Maelstrom attack. How about a truce with a game of card?

Trying to guess a specific line is a lot harder than trying to guess a character. I say we drop this question if nobody has the answer in 48 hours.

I have a feeling it's some very simple but I can't really think of it.

Cards? I warn you, I'm rather good."?

I have a feeling it's some very simple but I can't really think of it. "Cards? I warn you, I'm rather good."?

No, that's not quite it, although you're right about it being simple.


Trying to guess a specific line is a lot harder than trying to guess a character. I say we drop this question if nobody has the answer in 48 hours.

I guess I thought it was more memorable, and thought more people would know considering you have to challenge her to get her card.

I think IDX is very very close actually, I'm sure she warns you she's good.

I know someone you challenge tells you that they're rather good. Can't remember who but it just might be Edea. Or it might be simpler. Maybe it's "You want to play cards?".

Well, it's been 48 hours and no one's got it yet. The actual quote is, "Oh...I see...really?" and was actually the only card quote I remembered because of its vagueness. That, and the fact that there's a picture of it in the strategy guide. By the way, for extra trivia nonsense, the choice options with Edea change from Yes/No to Yes, please and No, thank you.

Since IDX was the closest, he can have the next question.

I'll give it to whoever wants it. Afraid my FFVIII knowledge is starting to dwindle :(.

What's the name of the move the Esthar Guard does that damages Ward's vocals which results him being incapable of speach?

I believe it's something like Soul Reaver, though only I'm about 75% sure of the second word on that.

You're right about the first word, not the second. :)

Soul Crush!

Message deleted.

Soul Crush!

Nice one IDK, your turn. :)

Soul Reaver was a game on the PS1 in the Legacy of Kain series.

In that same scene, what is the "treatment" that Laguna threats with? I'd say the character who he threatens it with but I can't remember who it was :(.

It's something like the, cuchi cuchi treatment? :S

Ah shoot, I actually figured out that it was Soul Crush last night, but couldn't post it because of the stupid forum outage. Pretty sure that Johnny has the correct answer on this current question too.

Yes I think that Johnny has indeed got the correct answer too.

I remember this 'treatment' being mentioned on a secret friend card in Dissidia also.

Yup that's right Johnny. Your go if you like :D.

Name all the enemies that Squall has a unique Renzokuken sequence.

Elvoret/Elnoyle, NORG, Seifer, Jumbo Cactuar, Bahamut, Ultima Weapon, Griever, Ultimecia...and if I'm right I don't want the question...

Well done, does someone else want it instead?

I'll take it - what is the name for the term used in the game for "magic used by regular humans"

Commands? :P I don't know.

BTW I think the "cuchi cuchi" treatment is also threatened by the artist in Dollet, on his son.

Para-magic if I'm not mistaken.

You got it, your go.

Alright, I haven't been here in forever so forgive me if I ask a question that has already been asked.

Who is the only character in the game that owns their own card?

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Alright, I haven't been here in forever so forgive me if I ask a question that has already been asked.

Who is the only character in the game that owns their own card?

Squall Leonhart.

dimes, what the heck are you talking about?

If omega doesn't post anything within 24 hours, it's a free question to whoever wants it.

Edea?

I believe the answer's actually supposed to be Edea, since you win her card from her, but Agent's answer is technically just as correct, since Edea no longer has her card after Squall wins it from her, whereas Squall only does have his card after he wins it from Laguna.

I think it should be Agent's, but if he doesn't want it, I don't want it either, so if I get credit for it, then free question.

Edit: IDX beat me to the punch with the second answer, looks like.

IDX can have it.

Edea?

Correct.

I was thinking about Agent's answer and how it kinda IS true, but I decided to go with who's the only person who carries their own card before Squall gets it and I couldn't think of anyone but Edea. Besides, it's good to have different answers.

But anyone can have the question.

What's Seifer's relationship with Laguna?

They're lovers.

Didn't Seifer idolize Laguna as a child and wanted to become a knight because Laguna was.

He's the kidnapper of his adoptive daughter.

Laguna kidnapped Seifer's adopted daughter??????????!!!!!! :O

OR/ are you saying, Seifer kidnapped his own adopted daughter?????!!!

OR/ is it, Laguna kidnapped Seifer who is his adopted daughter?????......Nah, I'm just kiddin' :D

They're lovers.

Nice one :D


Didn't Seifer idolize Laguna as a child and wanted to become a knight because Laguna was.

Yes, the more detailed story is that the movie Laguna did (in Disc 3, with the Ruby Dragon) Seifer loved as a child, and is what inspired him to be a Sorceress' knight, and to use a gunblade. Your turn. :)

Just popped in and wonder if anyone asked this before (and if allowed):
What/Who is the real identity of Ultimecia?

Cid Kramer!!!!! He loves to control his women :O

Cid Kramer!!!!! He loves to control his women :O



Nice try. XD

Just popped in and wonder if anyone asked this before (and if allowed):
What/Who is the real identity of Ultimecia?

Latias, before you can ask a question in this thread, you have to answer the last question correctly.

Secondly, far as I know there is no way to accurately answer as to 'What/Who is the real identity of Ultimecia?' There are a lot of theories (one saying it's a version of Ellone, and another saying it's a alternate form of Rinoa), but nothing 100% concrete.

As JohnnyMercyside said, "Your turn" omega911 to ask a question.

I see. Perhaps the question can be deleted though.

About the question, It was found that there is a real identity of Ultimecia though. The answer lies in the final and the beginning of the game though.

'In the final and the beginning of the game'? You mean Edea Kramer? She was possessed by Ultimecia, so unless you want to go into a long theory reminiscent of a script from Star Trek, let's leave it at that. Also, to discuss 'that', create a new thread or something... this thread isn't for that discussion.

I always thought the first Ulitimicia you fight (red dress) is the Junction-machine-Ellone that Dr.Odine says he started making presently, but is a full working machine in the future. Its this version that you see possesing Edea in G.garden.

Anyway you say theres a question??

Also, to discuss 'that', create a new thread or something... this thread isn't for that discussion.

Well, it is not Edea as well, but it was related to her.

I will put a new thread for that. Since you have the answer for this one, Death's Head, let that consider Rinoa is correct. Perhaps for the correct owner to put the following question.

Sorry for my hijacking >.<

omega911 hasn't asked a question, anyone else want to ask one?

Here is an easy one to keep it going.

What is the name of Lagunas theme?

everyone knows it so first person to get it ask a question.

I can only assume you mean the battle theme, which would be "The Man With the Machine Gun."

Ya I think Agent has it. As far as I'm aware, it's the only theme that's dedicated to Laguna (quite the catchy tune I might add :)).

Is there going to be another question asked soon? It has been five days now! :)

Give Baby Boink a couple more days... then we'll ask if it's okay to ask another question.

Nah, I guess I was sort of waiting for Baby Boink to say it's okay, but I can't think of anything else that could possibly be Laguna's Theme, so I'll go ahead and ask a question...

What location is the train that the party takes out of Timber bound for?

Galbadia right? or that area rather

No, sorry, not Galbadia. There's a specific location name that I'm looking for.

If I remember rightly, that particular train they catch from Timber runs to Dollet. Squall and his party only travel as far as a station called East Academy however.

Dollet?

I'm also thinking along the same lines as Enkidoh on this one....so you're probably right Enki.
Let's see what Agent says.

Enkidoh has it correct. Your go.

How silly of me, I didn't actually check Enki's answer when I posted mine... well done Enki :)

Okay! :D

What is the name given to the futuristic skateboard that Zell likes to ride around Garden on? (and which are outlawed by the Garden's faculty).

T-Boards. I think....

Yup, you got it. I have no idea what the 't' is supposed to stand for though. Maybe Square just liked the letter and went with it as a name. :p

Anyway, your go. :)

I always assumed it was a wordplay on the Ford Thunderbird, which was also known as the "T-Bird."

And he had fun, fun, fun till the Garden took his T-Board away!

Yup, you got it. I have no idea what the 't' is supposed to stand for though. Maybe Square just liked the letter and went with it as a name. :p

Anyway, your go. :)

I think the 'T' in 'T-board' stands for Turbo. Somewhat akin to the Mattel Hoverboard Marty McFly used in Back to the Future II and III.


And he had fun, fun, fun till the Garden took his T-Board away!

Heh, methinx Agent0042 has a promising career in song... similar to maybe the parody songs of Weird Al Yankovic?

Anywayz... here's my question... Zell Dincht's birthday, shares the same date as a real world holiday. What is the Holiday he was born on? (extra points to whoever can name the other FFVIII cast who shares their birthday on a real world holiday and what that holiday is).

St. Patrick's Day... I think.

Darkest Gunblade, you are correct. Zell's birthday is March 17th. The answer to the bonus point question is: Irvine Kinneas, who's birthday falls on the common date that Thanksgiving falls on. Next question is yours.

Cool! In What Town/City is the screen showing the shape-shifting woman? (And what does she change into?)

I hadn't a clue about this but I saw it just now as I'm playing again! It's in the pub in Timber. She morphs into a wolf. :)

Correct, although it looks like a sort of wildcat to me. Anyhow, I'll give it to you. Your turn.

That was completely by chance by the way ;)

What do you have to do, to avoid the blue car getting destroyed in Dollet when X-ATMO92 attacks?

Defeat the X-ATMO92.

Defeat the X-ATMO92.

There's another way as well, sorry I didn't make that clear!

Run into the pub would be the other way. But like you said that you didn't make it clear, Agent should have it since he answered one of the ways first.

It's okay - I was only being a smartass - I knew he probably meant something else.

You were technically right though.

Haha it's true, I didn't make the question clear, so it's a fail for me and a win for you Agent, your turn :)

Name at least two of the three monsters that appear on the Island Closest to Heaven that do not appear on the Island Closest to Hell.

Blue Dragon and Chimera?

One of those is correct, but the other is incorrect.

That was bugging mne so I just sat and worked it out. Its not the Blue dragon. Its an OCHU and Chimera.

Yeah, you got it. Your go.

Free Question!

Doesn't the Malboro appear only on Heaven?

No, Malboro is also a rare appearance on Hell. Tri-Face was the other one of the three.

Right open question to anyone, any takers?

I'll go ahead and take it. It's an easy question though lol

At which point in the game does Squall give Zell his ring?

When they're at the quad in Balamb Garden I believe. I've just arrived at Disc 2 and haven't played the game in some time. :)

That's a location lol. I meant which point in the game it happens.

When there's a war between Galbadia and Balamb gardens. :)

IDX?

Ya he got it. I didn't think I would actually have to come back because it WAS an easy one to let him know he was right.

It's considered a courtesy before moving on. However, I think I'm going to make a new rule. And this applies to any trivia thread, from now on. After someone posts an answer, anyone may confirm it if they know it to be correct.

It's considered a courtesy before moving on.

Apparently it used to be!

Well, at some point, some people started moving on and just going ahead and posting a question, but some people still wait.

I've noticed when it came to obvious answers that the person who answered it would just ask a question. My question was relatively easy (maybe it wasn't as clear as I intended) and I assumed that whoever answered would've just asked another question.

Anyhow, it's JohnnyMercyside's turn, isn't it?

Name all the bosses in the game that come in twos. By that I mean there is just two of the same enemy, and no other different enemies.

There's those lizard things, the oilboils (sp?), and...can't think of anything else.

Yeah there is the Igiuons and the Oil Boyles, I know if Humans are included but if they are you have.

Biggs and Wedge, Fuijin and Raijin also Seifer and Edea. Again dont know if they count but Trauma and Dromas which he creates.

Thats about me done for this. I may not be about for a few days so if I Am correct this is a FREE QUESTION to whoever wants it.

IDX got it, although Baby Boink terms the lizards Iguions. I'd say IDX should ask the next question. :)

I agree I was only giving the name as I knew it :). I also misread the previous question so excuse the random answer.

Someone else can ask a question.

If you choose to have Squall lie when the guard is torturing him in the D-District Prison, what does he say that SeeD's plan is for taking over the world?

That SeeD's goal is to 'grow flowers all over the world to promote peace', or something like that. Clearly he was tricking the guard into believing Garden is a hippy commune. ;)

But it's funnier to have Squall defiant and taunt the guard instead of lying. :p

You got it. He says that seeing flowers saps people's will to fight. Then, SeeD invades.

Your go.

These last two questions had me stumped. :(

Following Sorceress Adel's defeat by Laguna, and her resultant confinement in cryogenic suspension above the world in orbit, long range radio and analog TV transmissions become unusable due to the tomb's containment field causing severe radio interference on the surface.

What replacement technology is stated as having therefore become the standard means of communication in FFVIII's world?

It's the HD Cables isn't it? It lets them do short ones but not continental or global broadcasts. Something like that anyway, I'm on Disc 2 and have vaguely forgotten already :D

Yep, it's stated as being HD Cable - presumably some kind of ADSL/digital stream technology, as computer terminals are widespread yet TVs seem to have become scarce on account of the radio interference. Galbadia's attack on Dollet was to connect this HD cable system to the old radio transmission tower to broadcast Deling's deceleration of 'peace' to people in countries whose HD connections had been damaged or severed due to monster attacks and war.

Anyway, you got it, so your go Johnny. :)

What's the third and final answer you must give to Bahamut in the Deep Sea Research Centre?

It's a hidden answer, I think it's "Because it's our nature."

It's a hidden answer, I think it's "Because it's our nature."

You're right, but there's no "because", it's just "It's our nature".

Your turn :)

Where and by what choice do you find a guard who tells you that you have good manners and that you should always be thankful to your parents for bringing you up?

Haha I know this answer but I want someone else to do a trivia question so I'll pass :)

Okay as no one has answered this in 6 days I'll answer. It's in the Missile Base, when you choose to walk past the first guard, he demands your attention to tell you that walking in a straight line is fantastic manners, and that your parents must have raised you well.

Yeah, you got it. Your go.

Under what circumstances can you get the Lionheart ultimate weapon on Disc 1? Without cheating of course.

Well, Ifrit gains the Ammo-RF ability at lvl 10 (necessary to make Pulse Ammo for the weapon's synthesis), Adamantite is dropped by Adamantoises found on the beaches and plain near Dollet, and the Dragon Fang can be dropped by Grendels found in the forests near Timber, so theoretically the earliest is when Squall and party are heading to Galbadia Garden after getting off the train at East Academy (and after a little GF levelling too of course :P), however, the item required to synth Pulse Ammo (Energy Crystals) isn't found anywhere in disc 1 to my knowledge (neither is the Weapons Monthly magazine needed for it to even appear in the Weapon Shop for synthesis too for that matter).

Prove me wrong though. :p

Actually, it is possible to get the Energy Crystals and synthesize the Lionheart on Disc 1 - those have to be gotten using Card Mod - offhand, I believe you they come from Elynoyle Cards. And Weapons Monthly magazines don't matter - it's always possible to synthesize a weapon even if you don't have the correct magazine for it, so long as you have the required items and the pittance of gil.

However, other than that, I believe Enkidoh's answer is correct, including the specifics of it being once you get off the train at East Academy, so this one should be awarded to Enkidoh.

You can also get Laser Cannons from Elastoids on Disc 1, when you are Laguna in Lunatic Pandora. You can refine Laser Cannons into Pulse Ammo. But apart from that Enkidoh is correct and he can ask the next question. :)

Also, you don't need the magazines to get weapon modifications, the mags just tell you what you need. If you have the items, you can mod your weapons at any time.

Ah, no problem, it's been ages since I last played FFVIII so I couldn't remember. :p

Anyway...

What reward do you get for saving the kid who falls onto the train tracks in Timber from an oncoming train in disc 3?

as no-one has answered this in like 3 weeks, i think its safe to say no-one knows Enkidoh lol, mind giving us the answer?

meanwhile I'll ask a question just to keep the topic going...

What is the first ever instance of an enemy using the spell 'Aura' ?

Sure. To be honest, I completely forgot about it anyway. :p

The answer was all you get for saving the kid from being run over by a train is you get a free stay at the Timber Inn, plus Squall's heroic actions are immortalized in an online news flash.

As for your question 7alentine, I remember vaguely first being able to draw it around the time I visited Trabia Garden for the first time, but I can't remember what enemy I drew it from. So I have no idea.

no no no i mean the first time you see an enemy USE Aura, not simply have it available to draw.

I think this question may have been asked before - I definitely recall this being discussed before, in any case. Was it by one of the monsters you face before escaping the D-District prison?

Yeah I think it's the boss battle at the top of the prison.

Agent0042 correct, the battle with a galbadian soldier and 2 robots

I'm going to make this one a free question - whoever wants it can have it.

Who and when does someone use the phrase "Trite, and dull as hell though"?

Squall says it when talking with the Mayor of FH about their non-violent viewpoint

Correct, your turn. :)

which spells (or spell families) are available to be DRAWN (not refined!) before the "Dollet" mission right at the start of the game?
you must have ALL of them.

EDIT: Yes this is a hard one, yes take into account that creatures level up, and as a hint; there are 11 spells.

Fire/Fira/Firaga
Blizzard/Blizzara/Blizzaga
Thunder/Thundara/Thundaga
Cure/Cura/Curaga
Scan
Slow
Stop
Quake
Water
Sleep

I thought of Meltdown as well, but didn't put that as I'm pretty sure the enemies in the Fire Cavern don't level up.

EDIT: Just remembered the right answer for no. 11 - Esuna from the draw point in the library!

sorry i miscounted, theres actually 14

And I know the enemy I forgot, so the others must be Silence, Confuse and Berserk

you cant draw Quake. only one left

lol ok obvious this question was a little TOO hard; heres the list of the 14 spells.

Fire, Thunder, Blizzard, Water, Drain, Cure, Esuna, Scan, Sleep, Meltdown, Slow, Stop, Silence and Berserk.

I'll give this next question to Multigemini, he actually took a shot at it

I thought a high-level T-Rexaur had Quake. Hmm, anyway...

Name all of the enemies that you ever fight as Laguna.

According to Final Fantasy Wiki, high-level T-Rexaur does have Quake.

I was just grinding on them, from lvl 30+ they only have Firaga and Thundaga, you must steal and refine Dino Bones to get Quake.

Although the FF Wiki isn't always accurate though Agent, the official strategy guide indeed lists Quake under the T-Rexaur's spell list for level 30-100, so it's possible. But anyway.

Answering Meltigemini's question, Laguna can fight the following enemies in his various sections of the game:

Fungaar
Geezard
Esthar Soldier (both human and cyborg versions)
Gesper
Elastoid
Caterchipillar
Bite Bug
Ruby Dragon
GIM52A

I think that's all of them (but there might be one or two that I missed).

Looks good - I don't ever remember fighting any Galbadian robots as Laguna but the rest of the list is what I was looking for. :)

No problem, I think in hindsight I'd confused the GIM52A with the Estharian Gesper (they're both robots used by enemy soldiers), even though I'd also mentioned the Gesper anyway. :p

Anyway...

What is the trick to avoiding President Deling's guards while hijacking his carriage from his Presidential Train on disc 1? (the ones who appear at the windows of the carriage Squall and his party run across)

Stay still when the blue guard is there, move when the red guard is there. The former listens for sounds, the latter for temperature. I hope that's the right way round... :D

True or false: the Great Salt Lake dried up before Laguna reached Esthar.

You're only supposed to ask a question if you answer the previous question correctly first. You can't just jump in and post one.

Although Johnny's answer wasn't actually what I was looking for, in hindsight it is correct given I worded my question wrongly. :p

I meant to say what actually happens when you try to avoid the guards on the Presidential train, hoping someone would actually realize I'm being a smart ass and that it's a trick question. ;)

Johnny's answer is what the Forest Owls tell you is the correct method for avoiding the guards, but in actuality, when you try doing that complex strategy, the guards on the train belatedly discover their supposedly hi-tech sensors aren't working! Meaning you can just run across the roof at your leisure regardless (I always ran across the roof anyway immediately, and always managed to reach the next screen before the guards had even appeared at the window so it's a moot point).

Anyway, I'm sorry for the confusion - you basically got it Johnny so it's your go. :D

Hehe so the answer you wanted really was "nothing" :D

I never noticed it not working, I always tried to do what they suggested!

Anyways... my question...

There is one character in the ending FMV (the credits) that hasn't got a name. Where in-game do you meet this person and what is the relationship that they have to one or more of the characters? If that's too vague ask and I'll elaborate ;)

I think you're referring to the 'Pigtailed-Girl', the Garden student who is smitten with Zell, and who appears in the ending sitting next to him lovestruck while he scoffs down hot dogs. :p

Other than that, I have no idea.

Nope, that's who I'm talking about, your turn :)

Enkidoh - you just taught me something - I never knew that either! I always just ran across that part myself, before they ever had time to actually activate anything. LOL. That might be fun to try sometime, just to see that. And just when you think you've discovered all the little secrets like that...

Hehe, the only reason I even knew about it in the first place was that it's mentioned in the Brady guide book, and that they even mention not to bother with the Forest Owls' strategy. But yeah, I normally just floored it myself anyway across there. :p

How much HP does the alien PuPu have when you encounter it at the end of the UFO quest, and what do you get for defeating it?

it has 10hp, regardless of level

two ways to defeat it; give it 5 elixirs - receive the 'PuPu' card / attack and defeat it - receive 'Jet Engine'

Yup, that's correct. (although the guide book states you get an Accelerator upon physically defeating PuPu rather than a Jet Engine, but I never killed it, instead completing the quest properly so I have no idea which is true - I'll still give you the next question anyway 7alentine :D).

Anyway, your go. :D
