Final fantasy IX Trivia

Kuja always ends his fights with what attack?

jk

Ultima?

Dude my memory is failing me first part is right but isn’t he just hanging out in Daguerreo?

The guy in Danguerreo is Gilgamesh. The other guy in Alexandria is somebody else, called Jack, and he teaches you how to play cards.

Gilgamesh is not a summon in FF IX, but was a summon in previous FFs.

I remember them being weird, but it’s been years. :/

Positive Thinking
Learning Through Hardship
Makin’ Crazy Money! Vol. 1

It’s open to anyone that wants it, assuming anyone does. Might be better to just let this thread die– it doesn’t seem to be doing very well.

You’re not allowed to use summons, magic, trances or abilities etc… but non-generic in-game references are fine (I have about 5 in my head).

– In the weapons store in Lindblum, there is a sword that looks like Cloud’s Buster Sword. Zidane comments on it.

– The band-members of Tantalus play "Rufus’s Welcoming March"

– In the ending, there is the phrase "No cloud, no squall"

How about this– name me any three of the six locations viewable from the telescope that Zidane and Dagger use in Lindblum’s Grand Castle.

Gonna guess Qu’s marsh and West Gate.

(and theirs south gate and north gate)

I’m assuming based on your reply that Alexandria is the one used twice, eh. Well if Alexandria was my incorrect one, that is, because I definitely remember a quote relating to Alexandria in one of the telescope views.

There’s a total of four instances in the game where the "Theme of the Tantalus" is played, what are they?

Sorry, can’t think of anything else.

– when Baku is wandering around at night in front of Alexandria Castle in the city of Alexandria and the river boat and crossing and stairs where Eiko dropped her love letter written by Dr. Tot.

-when Cinna refuses one of the Enero brothers his hammer in front of the Lindblum based Tantalus hideout.

– flashback when zidane is walking out of the Treno auction house and bumps into and meets for the first time Amarant as one of the guards.

????

in madain sari i think there’s one too…it’s a melody tune…

There are of course other instances where it’s played, but that’s about the only one I remember.

One of the ones that Arcanine posted is another (but I didn’t say which one), and there are two more.

Nope.

Zak: and now you both must saw your right leg off from the shin down and put your head in a hornet’s nest for your transgressions of forgetfulness.

aha…this is a good one..like when scotty warped Kirk, the captain and Spok back aboard the enterprise…..yeah.

– the South Gate bundt cake tardiness incident between Cinna and Baku?

-Rebuilding of Tantalus hideout with hammer incident.
-Scene in Alexandria when Tantalus try to ‘cheer up’ Zidane(start of disk 3)
-Scene when Steiner tells Tantalus abot how Dagger/Garnet is missing.
-???I dont know???Maybe the scene in Alexandria castle when you are dressed in a Knight of Pluto outfit searching to kidnap the Princess right at the start fo the game.

I’ll note that one of them that hasn’t been mentioned yet is rather tricky and I’m not sure I expect anyone to get it.

– Rebuilding of Tantalus hideout with hammer incident.

– Scene in Alexandria when Tantalus try to ‘cheer up’ Zidane(start of disk 3)

it is kind of a slow tune, so dramatic scenes should be out? and I remember anyway that waiting in stolen knights of pluto outfits in the guard room during the kidnap Garnet scenes that it was silent like in the Tantalus ship (what’s that things name? not Hilda Guard or Red Rose or Invincible…) board room when Baku asks you whether to kidnap Brahne or Garnet.

how ’bout:

– when its night time and Zidane and Garnet are in the bunk beds at Black Mage Village and Zidane tells her about his past? (about the beating and the blue skies or ocean having some instinctual effect on him which is because of Terra and Bran Bal and all.)

– when Baku’s conferencing and deliberating if anyone is going to search for Garnet after the crash landing in Evil Forest

– when you’re attacked by insanely huge axe wielding Lani in the underground passage to Outer Continent from Qu’s Marsh

…Not when Garnet’s changing at East Gate with Steiner in an alley?

And… you mentioned like, seven different scenes. It’s preferred you guess four or less next time, seeing as there are only four and I haven’t been telling anyone which of their guesses are correct, unless that was the only thing they guessed, like Enkidoh (so you should know that’s one of them). Plus, it was hard to tell since you didn’t denote everything with a line.

But anyway, all the scenes you mentioned above, only one is correct.

I’m looking for one where it plays specifically the "Theme of the Tantalus". A lot of what’s been guessed are scenes that play "We Are Theives!" which is a very similar variation.

-when Zidane is searching Alexandria for Garnet just before the launch of the Hilda Garde III airship.

-Alexandria when Tantalus try to ‘cheer up’ Zidane(start of disk 3)

-when Zidane catches up with Freya in a bar in Lindblum during Garnet’s visit to Cid to stop Brahne from making war with anyone

:/

Agent, is it alright if I get a little more time on this one? I mean, some guesses were close…

Judging by the order of the soundtrack, the first time "Theme of Tantalus" is played is when you’re in control of Dagger and join up with Marcus to search for the Supersoft in Treno. That is near the start of disc 2 so then I’m guessing no parts in disc one had this theme played.

I’m guessing the next time you hear it is after Linblum is attacked and Tantalus begins to rebuild thier hideout shown in an ATE where Cinna doesn’t want one of the Enero brothers to borrow his hammer.

Judging by the correct guesses here, another time its played is when Zidane searches for Dagger before the Hilda Garde 3 launch. Near when she gets her voice back I believe.

Another I believe is an ATE scene with the Enero brothers talking to each other in the synth shop in Alexandria.

-When Cinna refuses to give up his hammer.
-When Zidane is searching for Garnet just before she cuts her hair.
-The reunion of the Enero brothers.
-An ATE in which Blank realizes he forgot to deliver Zidane a message.

I can’t come up with anything better than this. Couldn’t you have picked one that doesn’t sound so much like another one? *grumbles in frustration*

And Agent, okay… just so you know, though, before I had thought that it’s if whoever asked the question or whoever got it right goes inactive it moves on. I guess I could give it up if no one gets it, but damn, I want someone to get this…

I’ll give a small hint: Even though none of the guesses have gotten more than two correct at a time, a total of three of the correct ones have been said, the fourth hasn’t. That should help narrow it down based on what’s been guessed so far, if you’re good at logic and deduction.

the only other part I can think of is where they go to Ruby’s theatre in Alexandria disc 3. I think you’re in control of Vivi and Blank invites you to go there.

hmm… But honestly I am sure its played during the first time you enter Treno with Dagger. k… what happens there. If its not in the time when you enter Treno and before you see kuja in the auction house, then it could only be somewhere near the southgate/railway thing near when you fight black waltz 3. I think you meet Cinna and Marcus there at the station.

wait wait wait… maybe its also played when Baku enters the castle in Alexandria and this is also where Eiko gets caught on the rail and the letter drops and gets Baku to give that letter to Zidane.

Or or or or or when after he drops the letter near the river and later on laughs when he can’t seem to find it on him.

So I apparently have two… what about these?

You’re really testing my memory and fan capabillity D: I no like you.

The scene where Cinna doesn’t want one of the Enero brothers to borrow his hammer.

When Zidane searches for Dagger near after the events in Mt Gulug and before you set off on the Hilda Garde 3.

Maybe the scene when Marcus keeps correcting Baku for saying Dr. Tot’s name wrong.

I’m recalling that its Eiko’s theme playing when she drops the letter… so I’ll have to go with the scene where Baku drops the letter near the canal and later on laughs when he can’t seem to find it on him.

Quite the challenge. XD

-Scene when Steiner tells Tantalus abot how Dagger/Garnet is missing.

-when Zidane is searching Alexandria for Garnet just before the launch of the Hilda Garde III airship.

-When Zidane searches for Dagger near after the events in Mt Gulug and before you set off on the Hilda Garde 3.

2.

are these the same?

-The scene where Cinna doesn’t want one of the Enero brothers to borrow his hammer.

-perhaps one time its played is when cinna can’t find his hammer. And then he argues with one of the enero bros. on a ladder about how lending his hammer is like lending your ____. and he can’t find it because it’s in the players inventory haha.

or he has the hammer and doesn’t want to give it out?

either way its a scene eh.

3. (checked the previous posts it doesn’t look like there’s been three mentioned altogether..)

–
3.? – Judging by the order of the soundtrack, the first time "Theme of Tantalus" is played is when you’re in control of Dagger and join up with Marcus to search for the Supersoft in Treno. That is near the start of disc 2 so then I’m guessing no parts in disc one had this theme played.

SAME AS 2.: I’m guessing the next time you hear it is after Linblum is attacked and Tantalus begins to rebuild thier hideout shown in an ATE where Cinna doesn’t want one of the Enero brothers to borrow his hammer.

THIS IS SAME AS 1.: Judging by the correct guesses here, another time its played is when Zidane searches for Dagger before the Hilda Garde 3 launch. Near when she gets her voice back I believe.

4. Checked scripts online for ffix and there’s actually one but the text is in french XP. But it is intelligible that it’s right before Cinna wants to make coffee after exiting evil forest.

I normally wouldn’t, but I will in the end now since I’m being kicked off.

-Scene when Steiner tells Tantalus abot how Dagger/Garnet is missing.

-when Zidane is searching Alexandria for Garnet just before the launch of the Hilda Garde III airship.

-When Zidane searches for Dagger near after the events in Mt Gulug and before you set off on the Hilda Garde 3.

Those actually aren’t all the same, the first is different from the other two it takes place in Lindblum. The other two are the same though.

2.

are these the same?

-The scene where Cinna doesn’t want one of the Enero brothers to borrow his hammer.

Yes they’re the same.

3. (checked the previous posts it doesn’t look like there’s been three mentioned altogether..)

– (vorvel’s quote)

Nice deduction there, the "SAME AS 2" is correct, and since your 1 is actually two different ones, his third answer is same as part of your "1". And yes, the Supersoft thing would be a new one so far so I’m taking it that’s your "3".

4. Checked scripts online for ffix and there’s actually one but the text is in french XP. But it is intelligible that it’s right before Cinna wants to make coffee after exiting evil forest.

Okay.

So… seeing as your "1" covers two different things, that’s actually a total of five guesses. But nice job, you’re the first to mention a total of three correct. I’d love to keep this going, but I guess I will give it to you since Agent’s kicking me off 😛

But anyway, these were the answers I was looking for:

1. As most of you guessed, the hammer incident ATE in Lindblum.

2. An ATE in Lindblum where Steiner goes and tells Tantalus about Garnet being missing and asks for their help, also at the construction site (some of you got this).

3. Alexandria when Zidane is searching for Dagger right before she cuts her hair and the boarding of Hilda Garde 3. A lot of you got this one as well (Arcanine I don’t know how you got that this was the same as the second one I listed, ones in Alexandria and one’s an ATE in Lindblum).

So the above three were all mentioned a lot, but Arcanine was the first to mention all three at once. There is one more, though, which has not been guessed by anyone, and I’m not surprised as it is tricky! This is it:

4. During your third time in Lindblum, right before you get the Blue Narciss, at one point in the Business District there’s a scene where Quina is eating the Gysahl pickles from the stand (this isn’t it yet). Zidane ends up being forced to pay 100 gil for it. BUT, if Zidane doesn’t have 100 gil (which would be absurd and unlikely to happen naturally, you’d have to purposely spend down to below 100 gil to do this), then someone else must suffer. If this happens, around when you leave Lindblum, you get to see an ATE called "Give Me My Money" where Baku has to pay for the pickles instead. Our very own "Theme of the Tantalus" is played during this elusive ATE.

I didn’t know this ATE existed until my third playthrough where I was using walkthroughs and letting myself watch every scene in the game (of course I didn’t save after having seen that ATE for obvious reasons). Did any of you who have been guessing know about it?

BTW, a lot of you kept guessing the gate coffee scene and the stuff in Alexandria at the start of Disc 3. What plays then is "We Are Thieves!" a variation of the Tantalus theme.

Anyway, go on Arcanine.

poll:

Not I. Don’t have the game or system anymore and didn’t do any extra stuff before losing access to it, or my only sister has it and is another thing she’ll never tell me for the rest of my life.

question: without looking it up what is the name of the finger you need to acquire as part of the excalibur II quest?

simply because I don’t know and forgot..

can’t think of a more interesting and difficult but not technical question other than

-who got sick in Bran Bal: Dagger or Eiko and why?

or

-what species is the stellazio lady in Treno?

yeah just forget about the finger/excalibur question then.

zaks turn.

If you look at a list of the songs on the "Plus" soundtrack (I won’t consider that cheating for this question), it’s apparent that most of them are mainly for FMVs. There are a few exceptions, however, like some non-FMV scenes with dialogue, and such. So which one is not only not an FMV, but also not a scene, i.e. the background for an entire location, where you control? Specify the said location as well.

You may look at a list of them, and even listen if you want, just no youtube.

Une’s Mirror
Black Mage Village
Doga’s Artefact
Phonograph

Soooooooooo….Free Question.

Edit: Also Steiner so you don’t nip me on a technicality

How much health does Ozma have?

In the Ice Cavern in the beginning of the game, there were some ice walls that could be melted and had treasures inside. How many were there?

Because you weren’t clear on this, I’m going to list both (due to there only being one actual ‘boat’ card):

Hilda Garde I (85), Hilda Garde III (82), Invincible (83), Red Rose (86), Viltgance (88), Theater Ship (Prima Vista) (87), Cargo Ship (84), Blue Narcissus (81) and Airship (FFV Airship) (100).

Technically, Ark (67) could also qualify as an ‘airship’ of sorts, but it’s card is officially classed as an ediolon card, so I guess that doesn’t count. 😉

Anyways that is correct.

Near Lindblum, there is a stretch of coastline of the Mist Continent that has a unique effect. What is the name of this beach, what effect does it give and how do you get it?

I’ll give a clue: the beach I’m after is on the east coast of the Mist Continent, and does something to your characters if you fulfill a certain requirement. 😉

And the name of this location hints at what it actually does to your party in the right circumstances. 😉

Sorry, im not too sure on this one.

And yes, I’m pretty sure it also restores negative status as well as HP and MP.

Anyway, it’s Agent’s turn. 🙂

Amarant: "He who hesitates is lost’. You best remember that."
Zidane: "Yeah, well, I always preferred ‘my way or the highway."

Classic. 😉

Now for my question (this should be an easy one):

Who was the original writer of the play ‘I Want to be Your Canary’?

Okay, this is hard . . . but I gotta give it my best effort since it’s been so long for me playing the game.. Was it Dr. Tot? *Cringes as I anticipate a ‘no’* :O

And a cookie to FF1withallthieves too for correctly mentioning the reference to Shakespeare. 😉

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

Ahh, let’s see, I think I know this one 😉

Blank, Cinna, Marcus, Baku, Zenero, Benero, Genero?

Update; WAIT, Genero’s not a member :O It’s Ruby, not Genero! PHEW..

You got it Centercore you’re turn!

Alright, let’s see here.. Okay, here’s one: if Final Fantasy IX’s world map were BACKWARDS, what location would be furthest WEST? 😉

In FFIX, what popular traditional FF mage Job class only appears in the form of NPCs and not as the stated Job of a player character?

Red Mages only appear as NPCs wandering around Alexandria, Treno and Lindblum (they’re even identified as such in the dialogue box if you speak to them). Interestingly, they appear to be Burmecian too, but I digress.

Go ahead and ask a question when you’re ready. 🙂

Anyway your turn.

I did not realise that…
Anyway I’m giving the question to Xiahou Dun because he listed all the rewards.

You forgot Steiners auto-level weapon, Blood Sword! (That could be in the etc. though:))

I didn’t add that in my answer, as I was just adding various items etc which do come from the Queen Stella/Stellazio event.

Name the four items needed to obtain Excalibur; the four NPC’s who you sell them to; what item you need to buy from the Treno Auction house and who you have to give that item to receive the weapon.

I’ll break it down so it’s easy for people to read.

Name the four items needed to obtain Excalibur
Doga’s Artifact, Une’s Mirror, Griffin’s Heart, Rat Tail

the four NPC’s who you sell them to
All in Treno:
Doga’s Artifact to the Scholar in the Synthesis shop, Une’s Mirror to the Nobleman outside the Cafe Carta, Griffin’s Heart to the Adventurer outside the Cafe Carta, Rat Tail to the Adventurer outside the Cafe Carta

what item you need to buy from the Treno Auction house
the Magical Fingertip at the Treno Auction

And finally
who you have to give that item to receive the weapon
Old Man outside of the inn in Daguerreo

Then the Old Man will give you the Excalibur.

That was the answer I was wanting. Give the question to whoever you want

My question did ask for specifics, not a broad generalization but w/e, can’t be bothered going into detail about why I asked the question the way I did etc etc etc.

Free question to next poster imo.

Gilgamesh makes an appearance in this game under what alias?

Sounds to me like he/she/it has a real problem with authority, but I digress. :p

According to the information on the Eidolon Wall in Madain Sari, how many different forms has Shiva assumed?

Anyway, Feral got it. Go ahead and post a question when you’re ready. 🙂

I could be wrong. I hated that scene.

I guesss I’ll take a wild guess. I say 3-4 sounds about right.

I’m going to say 4, because that’s the amount of times I did it before perfect. In which case Smarty has it ^^;

someone else’s go

What is the secret ‘easter egg’ that is unlockable after completing FFIX (after the ending and credits), and how do you access it?

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

Ipsen and his good friend Colin.

Ipsen: "Why did you come?"

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

How many frogs does one have to catch to be rewarded with:
1. The Silver Fork?
2. The Bistro Fork?
3. The Gastro Fork?

btw

I did indeed, took a peek into guide for exact names of those 2 ATE’s. It’s been years since I’ve re-played FFIX, so it’s impossible for me to remember name of every ATE in the game. As for the scene with Quina jumping into a whirpool after eating a (hallucinogenic:) ) mushroom – well…it’s hard not to remember it;P If I did broke rules here, I apologize. You can ignore my question, if you think i cheated.

I think what you’re referring to is the Crusader Esper in FFVI (which randomly attacks either the enemy or your party), as it was called ‘Jihad’ in the Japanese original. Incidentally, it was also the origin of the ‘Holy War’ items in FFVIII (that give you limited invincibility).

But as this is the FFIX section, I digress (as I have no idea what attack in FFIX was called this in the Japanese version).

@Agent0042
Thanks:)

@Enkidoh
That’s true. Both Crusader and Doomsday are known under the same name in the original ver. btw Name "Crusader" is closer to original intent than "Doomsday", I think

I admit, I’m grasping at straws here, so it’s most likely wrong. :p

I could fire-up an old save on my PS2 to find the answer but I’m too lazy. :p

I thought that’s what someone was doing since it was taking awhile for anyone to get it!

Thank you FF1, does this mean I have to give the answer now since no one is getting it?

What is the popular dessert sold at South Gate’s Summit Station (which Cinna apparently loves to eat?).

I can’t even remember how to unlock that hidden ATE event anymore either. It’s a funny scene regardless. 😀

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

What two literary figures are the source of the name of the moogle that travels the world throughout FFIX?

Has nobody really heard Rumplestiltzkin?

Has nobody really heard Rumplestiltzkin?

I remember that book from my childhood; very fond memories. I don’t know the other one, I just thought I’d say that 😀

Edit: Agent types faster than me.

Yes, the brothers Grimm was what I was looking for. And I apologize if the question was confusing; I really thought it’d be easier.

EDIT: the coffee he asks for is Moccha Coffee, Kirman Coffee, and Burman Coffee, found at South Gate (the gate on the King Ed Plains with the healing spring in it), Madain Sari, and bought from Treno’s Auction House after Garnet becomes Queen, respectively.

Now for my question.

At the start of the game, what is written on Vivi’s fake ticket to the play that clearly gives away it’s lack of authenticity? (hint, you can check this by selecting it in the key items list in the inventory)

Your question FF1WAT. 😉

Carbuncle performs Ruby Light when summoned, casting Reflect on your party, but will cast different spells depending on what accessory Eiko has equipped. So, my question is: What are these other accessories and what does Carbuncle cast? There are only three of them.

Incidentally, Fenrir also has a similar optional attack as well. 🙂

Fenrir does have it as well, but only has one other option with the Maiden Prayer equipped.

Garnet’s Odin Eidolon when summoned deals an instant death attack to an enemy or else misses entirely. However, there is a certain ability that only Garnet can learn which ensures Odin does damage if the ‘instant death’ attack misses when summoned. What is the name of this ability, what is the accessory that grants it, and what is the element that Odin’s summon attack changes to?

Anyway, you basically got the question right so well done! Go ahead and post a question when you’re ready. 😀

And incidentally although they’re an accessory in FFIX, they’re footwear in FF Tactics. 😉

What does winning the Tetra Master tournament in Disc 3 give you?

Where are the only two places/times in the game that you can gain the Holy Lance weapon for Freya?

You can first steal one from Ark during the boss fight against it at the bottom of Oeilvert, but you can buy one for 11000 gil from the Mogshop in Bran Bal in case you missed it the first time.

But if you don’t get it then you’ve lost it forever. I’ve checked the strategy guide and I’m pretty much 100% sure you can’t get it anywhere else.

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

What is the special ability that allows both Garnet and Eiko’s eidolons to use their full summon animations every time the eidolon is summoned, and what is the accessory that grants it?

Incidentally, Boost traditionally is a Monk ability that increases physical attack power, so it’s use here for Eidolons (and in FFVIII for GFs) is quite ironic. 😉

Anyway, you got it so go ahead and post a question when you want.

BTW, I love your user name, gives me a good giggle everytime I see it 🙂

Also If you like the name you owe Sarah some kudos. Send her a cookie or something.

I’m not really good at knowing people by their actual names here on the forum, so I don’t know who Sarah is.

I would be inclined to agree with you. If memory serves me correctly that is the case. Anyone got any info to confirm or dispute this? (now I really want to know for sure…)

EDIT: I thought the Goblin Mages give Magic Hammer…

Well, I’ve checked anyway and it looks like Melti is right about Frog Drop.

Your first time through Maidain Sari Eiko will cook for the group, she tells a few moogles to help. What moogles are supposed to do what? (This is like Garnet telling the Pluto Knights orders in the correct order.)

Maybe.

I dunno, I asked my little sis for this one. 😕

Free question to whoever wants it.

So I’m going to say Eiko.

They share most white magic. Garnet has four extra while Eiko has 8 different extra white magic skills.

After rereading my own post, I realized that I should have specified that i ment White Magic, and not summons and magic. Either way, you are correct, whenever you’re ready have at it.

Anyway, you got it more or less so next question is over to you FF1WAT. 🙂

Note: I apologize if the academic turn my questions have taken is unfavorable; I’m pretty drunk right now, so I can’t come up with anything else.

That’s what I remember seeing his name written as in romanji in a screenshot of a Japanese version of the game. So it’s probably wrong. :p

okey this is an easy one, the residents of Black Mage village hatch a baby chocobo from an egg, what do they name the baby chocobo??

Which is quite odd considering they only name each other numbers, yet they give a proper name to a chocobo. Ah well. 😀

i like how they gave it a full name, and even insist on calling him by full name, not just ‘bobby’.

your turn

Hidden in that baby chocobo’s name is a reference to FFV. What is that reference?

I thought that was obvious 😀

Anyway, your go. 🙂

HAH i never noticed that before! Yeah, Boco… also the baby chocobo on ff8 too 😉

Bonus points if you know what she says.

But that is a scene that can’t be missed, unless somebody is not paying attention what’s going on. Not hidden in any way. Sorry if my question was not completely clear.

just guessing here…

Morrid’s Tower
Pinnacle Rocks
Conde Petie
Conde Petie Mountain Path
Esto Gaza
Madain Sari
Ice Cavern

Ice Cavern and Pinnacke Rocks are only one time visit, I think. Madain Sari and Gizamaluke Groto are available on cd4

fossil roo!

Gonna have to get a checklist going if this isnt right.

ice cavern,
observatory mountain,
north gate,
south gate,
mountain pass,
fossil roo,
pinnacle rocks?

Again we’ve eliminated Pearl Rouge.

You were close there Szczepan so I’ll give you Madain’s ring.

2 to go.

Name all the locations on the world map, that have a Terran origin ( were not a part of Gaia before Terra-Gaia Fusion ). That might be a tricky one, I think 🙂 I’ve counted 10 of them.
Hint: 6 of them can be accessed only once on CD3.

I would say Memoria, but you said before the fusion, so.

edit: actually no, thatd be unfair, ignore 🙂

Also, despite what some claim, the Ultimania guides aren’t nearly as accurate or canon as they’re made out to be, so I wouldn’t use anything listed in it for the purposes of this thread.

I was thinking the same thing, along with Mount Gulug, but as you said, just grasping at straws!

Esto Gaza maybe???

Anyway, feralanima is next.

Also, despite what some claim, the Ultimania guides aren’t nearly as accurate or canon as they’re made out to be, so I wouldn’t use anything listed in it for the purposes of this thread.

That maybe so, but they have the official blessing of Square Enix, so shouldn’t be overlooked either;)

but the entrance to the gulug caves is opened by the gulug stone which you find in oeilvert.

Or maybe I’m just reading too much into it. :p

Mount Gulug is mentioned in the game as being nothing more than an extinct volcano which is why the moles (tonberries?) were mining there.

Well, we have to remember that people living on surface of Gaia have no idea of Garland’s conspiracy or even Terra’s existence, so for them it would naturally be just an old, extinct volcano… Unless it was said by Kuja… hmm I don’t remember that..

That doesn’t mean anything though. The strategy guide just said that Mount Gulug had been ‘sealed for many hundreds of years’. Whoever sealed it could have simply used that stone from Oeilvert for the job.

If it’s Terran origin location then it would make sense that Garland didn’t want Gaians snooping around there…
Well, if Gulug is not one of Terra’s remnants on Gaia, then who would have any interest in sealing it with a heavily guarded item kept in Oeilvert- another Terran structure? The other question, why did Kuja went with all this trouble to send Zidane and the rest to get Gulug Stone , if the only thing they did there was a failed extraction of Eidolons from Eiko… Couldn’t they perform it in Desert Palace when party was captured? But still, it’s just an assumption, as games does not answer those questions… (I think)

Ok, feralanima had 90% on his first try, so that generally was a formality. Plus, he was the only person to put Esto Gaza and Mount Gulug together in one post.

She, actually, but I won’t hold it against you 🙂

But that’s probably just a false rumour and is therefore most likely wrong. :p

From which game originates the airship on the "airship" card?

Edit: a bonus of a million points to whoever says what mortal combat character looks like the guy who designed that airship.

As for the bonus question, I have no idea.

From which game originates the airship on the "airship" card?

Edit: a bonus of a million points to whoever says what mortal combat character looks like the guy who designed that airship.

Final Fantasy 4

Bonus Question: Noob Saibot?

http://www.uffsite.net/ff4/images/CidProf.gif

http://www.freewebs.com/mkclanhomepage/kabal%202.bmp

Other cards are Boco (a chocobo from FF5) and Airship (the airship from FF5). .

I do seem to recall reading in a magazine that stated it was also FF5’s airship listed on that card too.

But anyway, I didn’t mean to be stubborn on this, just I wanted to find out for sure which FF game it actually originated from. 🙂

EDIT: I’ve just compared the sprite from the Airship card with the airship sprites from FFIV, and they indeed do not resemble FFIX’s card. Unfortunately I lack the sprite for FFV’s airship, so I can’t finalize the comparison, but I’l leave it up to the reader to make their own judgements. 😉

Also, since the picture plan didn’t seem to work out too well, I’ll just tell you; the answer to the bonus is that Cid Pollendina (who I originally thought designed the correct airship before Enkidoh demonstrated otherwise) looks an awful lot like Kabal in his field menu picture.

Anyway:

This is a real easy question, but anyhoo – what optional boss takes it’s name of a major character from Frank L Baum’s famous ‘Oz’ series of novels? (there’s a big hint that should be obvious right there. :p)

Anyway, you got it more or less right so you can have the next question. 🙂

wrong:)

I’m pretty sure you can make it by synthesizing 2 Orichalcum blades..

Seiken = Holy Sword

Your go Szczepan.

Seiken = Holy Sword

Your go Szczepan.

No, It translates as Skillful or Divine Sword. Not Holy, so this questions yours.

If you insist…

Starting from top left and working around from left to right and right to left: Zorn and Thorn, Queen Brahne, Regent Cid in his oglop form, Cinna with his Princess Garnet doll, Kuja, the Nero brothers Benero and Zenero, Baku with the dragon mask, Ruby, Marcus, Mikoto, Quina with a frog, Blank, Amarant, Garnet, Zidane, Steiner, Mog, Bobby Corwen the chocobo, Stiltskin, Eiko, Vivi, Freya, Puck, and Beatrix. There’s also a Queen Brahne doll right in the bottom right corner and what appears to be a PS2 at the bottom of the image. 😀

*feels like a complete geek for knowing all those characters* :p

This is more a musical question, but ah well. Excluding usual FF tracks that appear in every FF game (like the Victory Fanfare and the variations of the Chocobo Theme), how many pieces from past FF games did Nobuo Uematsu remix for FFIX, what are their titles, and from what FF games were they from?

I only know of Mount Gulug which is from FF 1.

Hint: one of the remaining two is a reasonably well-known piece from a PSX era game, the other is a more obscure track from a NES-era FF. But that’s probably giving it away. 😉

Sadly it’s not the answer I’m looking for I’m sorry. 🙂

Your question. 🙂

Before Thorn and Zorn extracted Eidolons from Garnet, she was capable of summoning some of them on CD 1 and 2. However, that required some serious grinding for the best ones, because they required extremely high ammount of MP (much more than the ones learned/relearned later).

Q: Name all the Eidolons she was able to summon before extraction and give me ammount of MP, the most expensive one required (approximate ammount will be enough).

As for the MP cost, I have no idea (I presume Bahamut would be the most expensive one in MP cost to summon though).

Anyway, Your turn Enkidoh:)

In Tetra Master, how many ‘magic spell’ type cards are not Eidolons, and what are the spell names?

Your go.

And the stupid Brady guide book (the terrible one which is practically an advert for the Playonline network) was no help in that regard either. So I fold. :p

It’s been over two weeks so why don’t you wind the question up IU? 😀

Take it away whomever.

Which of Freya’s weapons is a reference to a popular character from a past FF game, and where do you find it?

Your go Szczepan. 🙂

We all know about the Soul Cage, which can be eliminated within few seconds, after using phoenix down on him. There is another similar case with some other boss in the game, but it has nothing to do with using curative items/magic on it.
Which boss is it and what is it’s Achilles’ heel?

Those who have played Excalibur II game, should know this.

I can’t remember any boss which has this particular weakness though.

There is kind of another appearance (well, an identical class of ship), which is destroyed by the Black Mage soldiers during Alexandria’s attack on Lindblum in disc 2, but because that ship is obliterated, it’s obviously not the Viltgance itself and just another airship of the same class.

Here’s an easy one: what happens if you ever use a Tent in battle (on either yourself or an enemy)?

Though you never inflict doom, death or petrify in this manner.

It’s a handy trick to use particularly at the start of tough boss fights, as if it heals the enemy it’s no big deal when they’re already at full HP. 😀

Anyway Techchild, it’s your go.

if Freya wins the festival of the hunt, what item do you get?

go for it Theninja354!

And the answer is of course Sarah, which is actually a reference to FFI.

EDIT: Yan

But then, I did kind of cheat by referring to my strategy guide book for that info so disregard my answer. :p

What is the one point in the game where you can enter the Mayors house in Dali to get the Mayors key?

The only way to remove this is by completing the Friendly Monsters quest which removes his magic defense (and makes him vulnerable against Shadow elemental magic, like Ark) and also allows him to take damage from physical attacks, making it much easier.

As well, he has the nasty ‘Level 5 Death’ attack which kills any character with a level which is a multiple of 5 (like 50, 55 etc). So you need to protect yourself against Instant Death if your party is a level with a multiple of 5.

One of Freya’s Dragon Skill abilities is a reference to a character from a past FF game. Which FF game is this a reference to, who is the character in question and what does the ability do?

Anyway, your go Aces. 🙂

Luckily though it’s only like that to a certain point where things return to normal.

Your go.

And Aces, as Agent said the tonberry appears in numerous FF games too, including FFIX, as shown here: http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/espmon/tonberry.shtml

Incidentally, they also appear in FFXIII as well, but do not appear on that page because FF Compendium hasn’t been updated since last year.

i know they do, but i cant recall them havin that ability.

Anyway, IU got it right so next question is his. 🙂

Anyway, IU got it right so next question is his. 🙂

never knew that, even through a few playthroughs. kudos to u.

Also, I just checked the FFIX strategy guide (even if it is the crappy Brady one), to look at Amarant’s ability list and Protect Girls is not listed anywhere there. So I’m going to say it is indeed a unique ability for Zidane alone.

Anyway FF1, your go. 🙂

Anybody who’s leveled up against Yans ought to know this one. With items available in the game, tell me a way to equip four characters such that Vivi can cast Doomsday and heal three of your characters and do no damage to one. If you list a way for the fourth to absorb the damage, I will feel sheepish, but you will still be correct.

Which character has the highest natural hit%?

I may as well ask a question given Aces opened it up to anyone:

With the exception of Trance Kuja, all the other bosses in Memoria/Crystal World reference past FF games in either name, design or general appearence. Not including the Elemental Fiends from FFI (Tiamat, Lich, Kraken and Kary/Maralith), which Aces already mentioned, what FF games do the remaining Memoria/Crystal World bosses reference?

Deathguise is actually a mistranslation of Deathgaze, the monster that indeed attacks you at random while flying around in the Falcon airship in the World of Ruin in FFVI. It also appears as the Mark ‘Visitor on Deck’ – with Deathgaze randomly appearing while travelling, fittingly, on a passenger airship, in FFXII.
Necron apparently references both Neo X-death (as Agent mentioned – they share certain attacks) and Necrophobe (similar name and general appearance) in FFV.
Hades naturally appeared as a summon monster in FFVII (the materia was found in the Sunken Gelnika aeroplane in disc 2). However, I never knew about that FFII appearance so extra points to Szczepan for that bit of info! 😀

Anyway, because you both got it right, I’ll award the next question to either Agent or Szczepan, whoever wants to post first. 😀

deathgaze also appears as the last boss in the last secret dungeon of the gba version of ff1.

As for the question, even though Agent got the answer correct, to be fair to Aces I think he was also thinking of the same thing, but just couldn’t get the right spelling.

Anyway, I’m going to award the next question to Agent so, it’s your go. 😀

Okay– which jewel does Regent Cid say that Princess Garnet’s jewel is similar too?

Garnet and Beatrix (no more junkfood for you, Beatrix!!)

That was easy, right? Now guess those three:)

btw None of this characters is playable.

EDIT: is the first one the 4-armed man, Gilgamesh?

btw The 3rd one is maybe too hardcore – only coat, small part of face and ear are visible. It’s Sir Fratley.

Name six regular monsters in FFIX which appear as summon monsters in other FF games (and the FF titles in which they’re summons).

Edit: Goblins were also a summon in FF4 as was Bomb.
Catoblepas is a summon in FF5.
Cerberus and Tonberry were also summons in FF8.

There is still one more I’m looking for (hint: it’s a monster that’s a summon from FFXI, so a lot of people wouldn’t know of it, that also looks like a (differently named) GF from FFVIII).

Your go IU. 🙂

EDIT: I seem to recall a Stroper is also found in FFCC as well.

I do remember there is a Lamia as one half of a boss too, but I don’t think that particular one was actually named as such. So for the final one, I have no idea.

Your Go Enk.

As for Stroper, you’re right, they’re not in FFCC – I was actually thinking of FFXI instead where they also appear (strangely they’re just regular Malboro type enemies renamed in that game) which is the cause of my confusion. :p

Anyway, now for my question:

According to the statue in Lindblum’s Industrial District, which Cid was the inventor of the Mist engine?

Your go.

I know he was in Lindblum before he ended up working at Ruby’s theatrette in Alexandria though. Where he was working before however I have no idea (mainly because I haven’t played the game in years :P).

What is the name of the theme played when Freya does her Michael Flatley impression in Clerya?

What is the name of the theme played when Freya does her Michael Flatley impression in Clerya?

Mine hasn’t been answered yet… 🙁

My apologies, Aint he from Lindblum?

As for Baby Boink’s question, the music track in question is called ‘Eternal Harvest’ on the FFIX OST. 🙂

Anyway, good question. 😀

I know he was in Lindblum before he ended up working at Ruby’s theatrette in Alexandria though. Where he was working before however I have no idea (mainly because I haven’t played the game in years :P).

Damn I missed the first sentence of the post! Your turn then Enkidoh 🙂

What is the alias Amarant is referred to as during the boss fight against him in Madain Sari towards the end of disc 2?

It’s Scarlet Hair (although technically ‘Red Hair’ means the same thing, I was looking for how it was actually stated in-game, so therefore ‘Scarlet Hair’ is the right answer).

Anyway, your go IU. 🙂

zombie, draco zombie, hecteyes, skeleton, wraith, ghost

thats all i got.

That should be the correct answer imo! haha

Damn it, he got there first 🙂

What Enemy skill oes quina learn by eating IRONITE?

Well in that case easy one to tie you over.

Finish the title of the play,

"I want to be your …."

Name as many music pieces as you can on the soundtrack that feature a variation on "Melodies of Life." One point for each one. For two bonus points, tell me the name of the artist who performed both the English and Japanese versions of "Melodies of Life." For three bonus points, tell me the name of the fourth track on the "Melodies of Life" single release, the one that isn’t a version of "Melodies of Life." For five bonus points each, name either of two games other than Final Fantasy IX in which a variation of "Melodies of Life" were featured.

This question is open for 48 hours or until all correct answers have been given.

Name as many music pieces as you can on the soundtrack that feature a variation on "Melodies of Life." One point for each one.

Besides Melodies of Life and Final Fantasy (which is used as the theme for the end credits), there is also Memories Erased by a Storm (opening FMV theme), At South Gate Border (South Gate township theme), Behind the Door (FMV theme in the ending when Garnet rushes down to reunite with Zidane), Crossing Those Hills (world map theme in discs 1, 2 and 3), Eiko’s Theme (has the underlying melody), Garnet’s Theme (appears a number of times, usually involving Garnet in someway), Memories of That Day (slow, sombre variation used in cutscenes), Song of Memory (humming version used a number of places where Garnet and Eiko sing the song as part of the storyline), Stolen Eyes (slow variation used in a number of cutscenes), The Chosen Summoner (dark, spooky variation used when Alexander is beckoning to Garnet) and Two Hearts Not Captured (occurs during the play in the ending).

There’s probably more included on the FFIX OST Plus album, but I don’t have that CD, only the normal OST. Also the OST CD album includes a number of variations that didn’t appear in the actual game itself: two versions used in the infamous Japanese FFIX Coca-cola TV ads, and an a Capella vocal version.

Also it’s worth noting that The Place I’ll Return to Someday and it’s many variations sounds a little like Melodies of Life, but is actually a separate theme, so I didn’t include it here.

For two bonus points, tell me the name of the artist who performed both the English and Japanese versions of "Melodies of Life."

Emiko Shiratori performed it in both Japanese and English in the original game and numerous live concerts, as Baby Boink correctly stated earlier, but the version performed recently in the Distant Worlds concert series was sung by Susan Calloway in English only.

For three bonus points, tell me the name of the fourth track on the "Melodies of Life" single release, the one that isn’t a version of "Melodies of Life."

As I actually own the CD single that’s easy. The track is called Galway, a nice Gaelic-themed track. 🙂

For five bonus points each, name either of two games other than Final Fantasy IX in which a variation of "Melodies of Life" were featured.

Well, I do know an arrangement of the non-vocal Crossing Those Hills variation appears in Dissidia Final Fantasy, as the backing track for Zidane’s ‘Destiny Glory IX’ stage map, remixed by Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito (it also appears in Dissidia’s end credits, appropriately during images of Zidane dueling Kuja), and I think it also appears in Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon as well, but as I’ve never played the later game I’m unsure.

Phew! 🙂

Therefore, in keeping with the spirit of Agent’s question, this one also has extra credit.

Firstly, for a point each, name all, or as much of, the in-game variations of the opening demo theme The Place I’ll Return to Someday as possible. This includes FMV themes as well as normal background themes.

As well, an extra point each is awarded to each arranged version mentioned as well, including the name of the CD it appears on.

Plus, for an extra fifty points, name the special unreleased version that only appears on a certain CD version of FFIX’s OST, including the track’s title, the album’s name and publisher of the CD.

Go to it! 😉

As for the arranged versions, the ones I know of are the orchestral arrangement that is part of a medley with Melodies of Life in the More Friends and Distant Worlds concert albums, and the Piano Collections version for solo piano.

Finally, the answer to the bonus question is FU-RU-SA-TO (translated as Distant Homeland), which appears as a bonus track on the US released FFIX – Music From the Final Fantasy IX Video Game ~ Uematsu’s Best Selection single disc OST album released by Tokyopop in 2000. It’s similar to the the OST version, but not exactly, meaning this version is probably an early version Uematsu composed but altered for the actual game. Still a good track though. 🙂

Anyway, it’s your go IU.

Looking at the FFIX guide’s bestiary (you know, the crappy Brady Games one), there were only 3 enemies listed as appearing in the Festival of the Hunt though – Fang, Mu and Zaghnol, although I know that is actually wrong – IU is right in that there are indeed 4 enemies that appear, as I also remember distinctly Trick Sparrows appearing as well.

So, looking at the Bestiary, the only re-occurring number in their stats besides level and the big zero next to EXP/Gil which Aces already mentioned is their MP is all the same, except for the Zaghnol. So, I admit I have no idea what stat it is these enemies all share (the bestiary in the guide book doesn’t list stats like strength etc).

Free question.

I guess you could also include Mog as well, although she hides out in Eiko’s bag I think so she probably wouldn’t count.

I guess you could also include Mog as well, although she hides out in Eiko’s bag I think so she probably wouldn’t count.

We’ve already established that it’s not Eiko’s bag! 😉

I think the Stroper would probably be the easier of the two to eat though, as they have less HP from what I remember. 🙂

What is the only time in the game where a radio transmission is shown to occur in Gaia? (at odds with Gaia’s neo-medieval setting).

anyway, i dunno the answer to the question, yet.

Anymore guesses? 🙂

It was a message between Mikoto onboard the Red Rose and Regent Cid on the Hilda Garde III – Mikoto’s message box clearly shows it coming from a loudspeaker on the Hilda Garde III’s bridge, and given the fact she mentions she’s onboard another airship could only mean it’s a wireless (radio) message.

Anyway, it’s your go IU. 🙂

That’s easy. They refer to the Book of Matoya, obviously referencing Matoya the blind witch from FFI. 😉

haha right you are, I’d read the wrong page, my bad.

Your go 7alentine. 🙂

How many chocograph treasures can you dig up? Not during Chocobo Hot & Cold, but actually exploring the world map and digging up the treasure?

And no, its not 9

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

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

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

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

impudent_urinal, aces, whoever posts first gets the question

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

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

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

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

Anyway, your go Szczepan. 🙂

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

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

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

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

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

Gave you so many hints… No more.

Ok, good job IU! Your turn.

Szcz, you clever bastard.

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

Anyway, your go Johnny. 😀

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

Either Enk or Agent go.

Your go. 😀

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

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

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

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

Or grey?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alright, away with the reflect technicality, my bad.

haha yeah I was just messing around 😛

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

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

Your go 🙂

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

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

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

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

Your turn. 🙂

Ipsen and his good friend Colin.

Ipsen: "Why did you come?"

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

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

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

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

This isn’t the right answer, but you’re warm, it’s to do with Puck 🙂

I’ll leave the next question open.

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

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

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

Your go Melti. 🙂

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

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

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

Anyway, your question IU.

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

Ruby – Amethyst – Topaz – Garnet – Opal – Peridot – Sapphire

Ramuh – Shiva – Fenrir – Ifrit – Carbuncle – Bahamut – Atomos

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

By the way, your avatar disturbs me… :p

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

Anyway, name 4 dragon-type enemies.

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

Anyway, your go IU. 🙂

Maybe 3 is too much. 2 weapons will be enough.

The two other are weapons for Steiner and Garnet.

btw The 3rd weapon was Air Racket.

In the FMV of the assault of the silver dragons name four people that come to your aid (they can all be on the same airship as long as it’s not the Invincible).

Either way, Enkidoh got it, your go!

Anyway… 😀

How much EXP do you get for killing the crystal versions of the Four Fiends (Maliris, Kraken, Lich and Tiamat) randomly encountered in Crystal World?

Rep for some trivia peeps.

Anyway, your go IU. 🙂

But yeah, it’s the track that plays during the Festival of the Hunt. 😉

Interesting little reference to Lewis Carrol there. 😉

Anyway, answering Aces’ question, a Black Magic spell I know Ozma uses is Doomsday. Hence why he’s so hard to fight if you haven’t finished the Friendly Monsters quest, as each time he uses it it effectively heals him completely, due to his default Shadow absorption. 😉

EDIT: BAH! IU Ninjaed me! You sneak! :p Ah well, you beat me fair and square. 😀

1. Don’t call me if you don’t need me, kupo!
2. You’re starting to tick me off, kupo!
3. I’m sharpening my knife, kupo.
4. STOP IT ! STOP IT ! STOP IT ! KU-PHEW !

Bonus points if you can name the titles of the poems they’re taken from, and which Alice stories they appear in. 😉

But yeah, IU got it right, so next question is his. 🙂

So I’m hanging my head in shame at getting a question that I’d previously already answered right wrong the second time around. :p

So I’m hanging my head in shame at getting a question that I’d previously already answered right wrong the second time around. :p

dont feel too bad. it’s better to miss it a second time rather than get a million dollar question wrong on Who Want’s to Be A Millionaire. now thats shameful.

While controlling Cid in the Desert Palace, how many minutes do you have to get past the monster in the cage and figure out the weights puzzle to free the party?

Ah, sorry, didn’t notice the new page!

…and I don’t know, sorry IU. 🙁

Dyne (裏技, Urawaza?, lit. "Underhanded tricks")

Free question.

If you poke the barrel Zidane says that the blade almost went through Garnet, but if you examine it longer it falls on Steiner.

Your go Szczepan 🙂

Next question is perhaps a little tricky. How many regents did Lindblum had in it’s history?

But other than that, I have no idea.

Hint – this information is not located in Lindblum

But I have no idea if that’s true or not.

Question goes to feralanima for being 1st to be very close to the right answer.

But it also explains why Alexandria has an almost entirely female army. Find it and you’ll have the answer. 😉

Anyway, your go Szczepan. 😀

Red Mages. They don’t have any important role in FFIX but still you meet them a couple times in different places. I’m aware of 3 Red Mages you can meet as NPC (and one seen only in ATE). Give at least 2 examples where and when (for the one from ATE) you can see them:)

Johnny ninjaed me 🙁

Johhny was a bit faster so gets the next question:)

What locations are the most north, south, east and west locations on the map?

Szcz goes.

btw not only number, but please write who and how. In case of few people giving partial answers, question will go to the one who posted the "less obvious" one.
