Yes, it was Princess Rosa in the play I was referring to, which, of course, is a reference to Rosa Farell, the main heroine and White Mage in FFIV (and Cecil's love interest).

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

Anyway, good job! Your turn. :)

Alright, I'm not really good at comeing up with questions so you'll probably get this one quite easily:
What monster does Shake transform into?

God, it's a penguin, I can't remember it's name...

A snail!!!



....called John Speedy :)





Did I geddit, did I geddit, did I geddit? :D

A penguin with a funky hairdo, and some kanji tattooed on his stomach.

Sorry Galaroval, but it's indeed a penguin.
But, c'mon now, it's hardcore mode, you should really get its name. ;)

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

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

I don't see how knowing what location it comes from helps. I'm pretty sure it does look exactly like the image that Death's Head posted, but I'll be damned if I can remember the name.

I believe the monster in question is called a Skeeskee (besides Shake's model they also have a palette swap enemy on the Gaea Cliffs called a 'Headbomber' too.)

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

Well, since Shake transforms into this penguin....monster like....thing. Could its name, by any chance be....um,........... Shakespeare??????

Okay, it's been a month, and there's been no word from Bozz since that time, so is it okay if to move onto a new question?

Yes.

Cool.

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

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

Sorry Enki but I haven't a clue......btw, when they say Hard Core Trivia do they mean 'The-trickiest-,-most-out-of-the-way-question-you-can-think-of-,-that-you-know-no-one-will-have-a-slightest-notion-how-to-answer-because-in-reality-you-were-damn-lucky-to-know-the-answer-yourself-as-you-just-so-happened-to-notice-it-in-passing-when-you-turned-a-certain-way-with-your-character-at-a-particular-moment-,-type-of-question'?.....they just call it Hard Core Trivia for short I guess:).

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


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

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

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

Wow, to be honest, I completely forgot I'd asked a question here it was that long ago. :p

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

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

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

Anyway, your question Gal. :D

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

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

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

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

Isn't there 14?

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

Isn't there 14?

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

My bad....can't count apparently.

You're correct of course.
Your turn Mister Bigshot-Isn't-there-14! :)

lol

My question... and hopefully not a hard one.

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

Without checking, a guess is something a long of the lines of:

Copyright Squaresoft 1996 Made in Hong Kong

I doubt that's completely right though.

That's close, but the order of the lines is wrong, not to mention there was a big typo in the real thing as well:

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

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

But I digress. :p

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

The answer is:

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

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

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

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

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

Excluding Aeris's Holy Materia, and the materia used by Cloud and Sephiroth during the Nibelheim flashback scene, who are only characters in the game to join the party pre-equipped with Materia, and what materia do they come with?

Nice question.

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

Withope is right I think, apart from Red, I'm sure Red comes with Fire + All. Poison is available in the same room you get Red in, but you can get it before going against that boss.

I'm probably wrong about Red XIII. I just remember Fire + Poison being an integral part of that first battle with Red at the Shinra HQ.

That's most of the way there, but there is still one person you're missing and the materia this particular person is equipped with. I also seem to recall Yuffie coming to the party with Fire materia as well as Throw, but I can't remember exactly (I'll just say Throw is correct anyway).

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

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

Any guesses?

Sense?

Cloud comes with Bolt & ice.

You're both right.

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

Your go.

In this game, name all the pieces of music that incorporate the main theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbAy4MfmKrE).

I can think of three, the world map theme, steal the tiny bronco and the highwind theme. Oh wait there is also the scene where they sit on the centre of Nibelheim Something to with 5 years ago and again cant remember the name but I believe there is also a variation played when you see cloud in the Clinic.

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

So far you've got "Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII," "Steal the Tiny Bronco," "The Highwind takes to the skies," and "On that day five years ago." Those are all correct.

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

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

I thought of one more at work which was holding my thoughts in my heart or something similar

"holding my thoughts in my heart" is another. There are still a good amount that utilize the main theme.

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

I seem to be the only person who is answering this lol Im gonna take a guess and say its in world crisis at some point. Also from listening to it it sounds like its in Aeris's theme as well. Again only through random chance that it came on my ipod while it was on shuffle sounds like there is part of it in Anxious heart.


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

Here's a few more (luckily I have the OST loaded in Winamp ;)):

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

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

It is in "World Crisis," "Who Am I?," "Interrupted by Fireworks," & "Staff Roll." Nice job!

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

Ohhhh, you guys are soooo close.

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

Is it Continue (the 'dead music'/game over theme)?

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

Im guessing it was in none of the ones I mentioned in my previous post?

Thus far this is what we have...

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

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

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

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

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

I don't know, but I would like to say that I like this format of question - having multiple answers and awarding the credit to whoever gets the most, with possible bonus credit factored in. I'd like to see more questions like that.

Well, the only track I can think of that the second clue alludes to is Underneath the Rotting Pizza (the track that plays in the Sector 5 Slums, including that infamous scene), but it doesn't sound anything like the Main Theme to me at all.

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

@Agent, ya it could be cool to start using this format. I was trying to think of a 2nd place prize. The only thing I could think of is...after my question is over and someone wins 1st prize, the 1st prize wins the next question. But the 2nd prize winner will receive a hint (within a private message) from me for when I have the next opportunity to ask a question. Buuut I might be making this more complicated than this has to be =0

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

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

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

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

Well then, there's only one other piece I can think of that matches that, and that's Reunion, which indeed plays in only two places in the game - in Whirlwind Maze during the scene where Rufus, Scarlet and Hojo discover that big lump of materia that encases Sephiroth (and where Cloud gives the Black Materia to him). It also plays in the Northern Crater at the end of the game if you take the left path, and then left again.

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

Ok. Those aren't correct, but here are two big hints...

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

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

Ah, that's the Great Northern Cave, which to me sounds nothing like the Main Theme (it's much darker in tone for one thing).

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

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

haha I have not given up but I cant think of anymore and I agree with Enkidoh, tell us the answers its gone on long enough.

I agree, let's keep it moving.

"The Great Northern Cave" & playing the piano in Nibelheim are both correct.

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

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

Well, I'm not a musician and I can't read sheet music so I have to cede the next question to BB then. ;)

Enkidoh Alas I was going to hand the question to you. So by all means please pose a question :)

Okay (racks brain to think of a question that hasn't been mentioned yet).

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

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

"Racing Chocobos, Place Your Bets"
"Cinco de Chocobo"
"A Great Success" (I don't know if you're counting these, but they are chocobo-related)
"Tango of Tears"
"Waltz de Chocobo"
"Electric de Chocobo" (This is probably the rock song, but I got nothing on the rest of that.)
"Farm Boy" (again, if we're going chocobo-related)

Well, it's been a fortnight with no further takers, so I'm going to just give it to Agent seeing as you got most of them. :)

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

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

Anyway, good job! Your go Agent. :D

What was the name of the friend of Holzoff (the guy who helps you at Great Glacier) and who perished when he cut his own rope while climbing with Holzoff?

Okay, I realize this is a toughie, so I'm going to release it as a freebie if nobody gets this within 48 hours. Hint - it starts with a "Y."

It's not tough so much as frustrating as I feel I should know... I really don't though without checking.

I felt the same way but I couldn't hold out checking any longer, so I looked through my screenshots for the answer., but I won't mention it to give someone else a chance. It's an unusual name to be sure, one which I wouldn't have remembered in a million years. :p

Sorry for the double post, but it doesn't look like anyone is going to attempt it so I'm just going to go ahead and post the answer.

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

Yep, that's the one. Go ahead and post a question if you want.

What Enemy Skill is needed to have already been learned in order to gain the Chocobuckle Enemy Skill, what effect does it have, and which monster/s use it?

L4 Suicide, Paralysis, and Muu.

There's my guess. =0

Yup, you got it all. :)

Your go Withope.

For some reason that *enemy skill* and that enemy always stick out to me...Maybe because it was the first *enemy skill* I got in that game, and I spent so much time trying to get it. Anyways...

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

Omnislash isn't it? If fully buffed it's the strongest move in the game I believe.

It's not Omnislash. Nice try though.

I thought it was too obvious :D

How about Highwind?

Not Highwind. =/

Game Over from Cait Sith's Slots?

I should have phrased this better, but I was looking amount of damage done. Obviously 100% Death > overrides any amount of damage done so.....

Olde, you get next question.

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

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

Eh, someone else can have it. I don't know a lot about this game anyway.

Where do you have an opportunity to kick a ball at Red XIII?

Isn't that in Costa del Sol? I definitely remember kicking around a ball there.

Ya, that's in the "town square" area of Costa del Sol.

Yup, if you don't choose Red in your party in Costa del Sol you can kick a ball at him just outside the toilets.

Your turn :)

Okay, this should be a relatively easy one. What is the reason that Cid gives the party for referring to them as "numbskulls" when he joins up with them?

I'm pretty sure it was because they were rebelling against the Shinra and chasing down Sephiroth.

But my mind is hazy and I'm too lazy to check my screenshots to double check it. ;)

Close enough. The exact wording was "anyone crazy enough to up against Shinra these days has gotta be a numbskull!"

Your go, Enkidoh.

What is the only time and place in the game that you can get a Shotgun for Vincent? (excluding digging it up in Bone Village in case you missed it).

Rocket Town in disc 1... I think.

Curse you Revan ;)

lol looking back i realise no-one ever actually got the FIRST question correct, the one I posted to start this thread.

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

Actually, Topopoz correctly answered it in the second post in this thread ;):


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

I'm not trying to be nasty 7alentine, just I wanted to clarify your earlier point. :)

As for my question, Revan is correct, so next question is Revan's. :D

I give my question to the next poster, as I can't think of one at this time. Next poster asks a question.


Curse you Revan ;)

I already am lol

alright I'll take it, haven't asked a question in a while lol

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

It leads to Sector 6, specifically the gate next to the playground where Cloud and Aeris see Tifa in the chocobo carriage exit from. Speaking to one of the guards reveals this (along with a few other things).

corrrrrect! your turn my main man.

ooh this is a fun thread, i may have to think of a few on my own! =P

Sorry for the late posting 7alentine, I've been feeling ill the last few days.

Anyway, here's my question:

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

I believe that's the Goblin Punch. You learn it from the Goblins on Goblin Island and it's a non-elemental that's basically like a physical attack. Except, I think maybe it does better damage if you use it on an enemy of a higher level. I think there's some such special condition, but I'm not sure if that's the right one.

close, Agent0042 but not quite, it does more damage the closer you are in level to your opponent, clocking out at around 7000 if you're the exact same level as your opponent. useless after disk 2 imo, most enemies aren't above lvl 50 from then.

i'd still give it to Agent though

Yeah, Agent's answer was correct, although your info was also right 7alentine (it was only really useful the earliest in the game that it was possible to learn, which was as soon as you gain the Highwind in disc 2). Really though, I always just considered Goblin Punch a back-up attack for my weaker characters if I ran out of MP (namely, Cait Sith).

Anyway, it's your turn Agent. :)

And I considered Goblin Punch useful if I just wanted to do a physical attack, but my character was at their Limit Break.

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

I believe he's either 3 or 13? i seem to remember a 3...

Sorry, not 3 or 13.

I, kinda cheated and looked at my screenshots as I couldn't remember for the life of me what it was, so I'll mention both: according to the Mog House minigame Mog is 'pipapopupo' years old in moogle years, which is supposedly the equivalent of 28 years of age in human terms.

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

Correct. Your go, I suppose.

This question might require the use of screenshots or being able to pause an FMV sequence to answer correctly.

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

12:10, im guessing am by the fact its dark.

That is... correct! :D

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

Anyway, your go 7altentine. :)

Which enemy morphs into a Tetra Elemental?

Cactaur

correct, your turn

Although you may not know you're doing it, there is a way to alter Bizarro Sephiroth's stats and Safer Sephiroth's stats - prior to battle (And no, I'm not talking about hacking the game. This was intentional by the creators). Also you can affect how many parties fight Bizarro Sephiroth based on what you do prior to the battle.

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

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

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

lol the only thing i can think of is to keep your team level low

I don't know the official formula, but it's something like your average party being below level 50 for 3 characters, your average party between 50 and 60 (I think) for 2 sets of 3 characters, and 60+ for 3 sets of characters.

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

I'm not doing all the official rules but that should get me at least one point! ;)

Also, feel free to answer multiple times.

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

Ah yes, nice hint, if you defeat the head as well as the dody it chips some health off Safer Sephiroth.

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

The only thing I heard in regards to that was how many parties you use to fight Bizzaro Sephiroth is based on how quickly it takes you to defeat Jenova SYNTHESIS - the faster the battle the more parties you have to defeat Bizzaro (meaning the slower you go the easier the next battle is).

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

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

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

JohnnyMercyside - 4 points
Enkidoh - 2 points

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

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

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

I seem to (vaguely!) remember that if you used KOTR against Jenova-Synthesis it gave Safer Sephiroth quite a lot more HP. Based on your prompt I presume it has the same effect on Bizarro as well.

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

Hint:

christ we're STILL on this question?

I'm bowing out then because I have no idea what the final part may be (not to mention, I wouldn't have enough points to even win anyway) :P This question has stumped me.

Actually, I'm pretty sure when I played a low level game (only fighting bosses/set battles) I only got one party. I was about level 38 before Jenova-Synthesis and 45 after it, so just a wild stab in the dark you only get one party if your average level is below 50? In fact, it could be lower than that as I was only really using three characters...

Obviously Meltigemini won this question.

Give it to Meltigemini, it was a good question but it's dragged on and without cheating I'm out of ideas :)

Yeah, great question :) I can't think of anything else either. Intrigued by the full answer now!

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

those winged beast things in the Train Graveyard?

It's called a Deenglow, but yeah pretty obvious from your post you've got the right one, your turn.

which main character grew up in Gongaga?

Aeris

Actually, it was Zack who came from Gongaga.

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

i said MAIN character, no-one has it so far

Well then, I have no idea who you're thinking of because Zack was the only one mentioned as having been born and raised in Gongaga in the original game - Cloud and Tifa were both from Nibelheim (Vincent also resided here too during his time with the Jenova Project, but his hometown was never mentioned), Aeris from Icicle Inn (although raised elsewhere), Barret was from Corel, Red XIII from Cosmo Canyon, and Yuffie from Wutai.

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

lol Cloud is from Gongaga, but if the compilation doesnt matter then never mind.

Uh, I don't know where you got that information from 7alentine but Cloud has always been stated in all official Square propaganda, Compilation titles and the original FFVII as having been born and raised in Nibelheim - he grew up living next door to Tifa after all. If you still doubt this, this is Cloud's official history which clearly states he was born in Nibelheim: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Cloud_Strife

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

pretty sure theres a scene in Crisis Core where Zack first meets Cloud and he says he's from Gongaga...

anyway someone else can take the next turn

plz don't incorporate the compilation =/

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

Okay. Enemy Skills are considered this game's "blue magic" and, like other FFs with this type of magic, many of the spells are ones that are seen in other games. Name three Enemy Skills that don't have a correspondence in another FF game.

great question.

here's my guess...

shadow flare, chocobuckle, and pandora's box

Yeah, as far as I know, those skills are unique to FFVII. There may be some in other games that have similar effects, but they're not called the same thing, nor do they look the same. Your go.

great question.

here's my guess...

shadow flare, chocobuckle, and pandora's box

Actually... Shadow Flare has appeared in earlier FF's.

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

In FFV, mix two Dark Matters together.

In FFVII, of course it was a Enemy Skill.

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

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

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

Ah yes, you're right, Shadow Flare was in the earlier ones, and yeah, now that I thing about it, Chocobuckle is in Chocobo World.

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

Only reason I know about them, is I had a discussion with some friends about FF and any links between them all. TBH, I didn't know that those 4 were solely for FFVII alone... learn something new everyday. Anywayz, I pass the next question to Withope as you did award him with the next question. Withope, you're up for the next question.

ha, i don't feel i deserve the next question since only 1 of mine was exclusive to FFVII, but i'll take it. thank you =)

here's a simple one.

which armor has the highest magic defense and regular defense?

Ziedrich - defense of 100 and m-defense of 98. No materia slots though.

that's it. take the next question

Including the Highwind, how many aircraft are shown at Junon's airport the first time Cloud passes through there? (In disc 1).

Two if I remember right, the Gelnika was also there.

Although the Gelnika is correct Melti, the number isn't - there was a few more aircraft on the tarmac than that.

Anyone else?

isnt the Shinra Troop plane also there? that big fat one you see them taking off on with the Huge Materia?

That's the Gelnika - Shinra's heavy transport plane.

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

Basically, how many Gelnikas are there? - Find this and you'll have the answer. ;)

i finally just played through to this part to find out lol

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

Oooooh, close, but no kupo nut I'm afraid. :(

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

3 Gelnikas?

Yup, there were 3 Gelnika-class planes and the Highwind.

Your go. :)

what is Palmer's favourite ingredient? ;)

Well, if I recall correctly, he likes several things in his tea, but he specifically states "don't forget the lard."

currectomundo, your go

Okay, this could be easy, or maybe not, but I don't think it's been asked before. What's the max GP you can have at the Gold Saucer?

pretty sure the max is 10,000

Correct. Your turn.

how much materia can you have at any one time?

equipped or in your inventory?

same total

I think the inventory limit is 500 and you could have 16 x 8 equipped at any one time so 628?

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

Actually, both the Four Slots and Edincoat have eight materia slots and can both be gained in disc 1 (Four Slots you can find while still in Midgar for one thing), plus most characters have weapons with eight slots on them that can be gained in disc 1 too so the 'no more materia' for when Aeris is alive statement isn't really correct.

But I'm too lazy to check it.

pretty sure the materia limit is 200, someone else can have a turn

I'll let someone else take a question, but just wanted to refer to the point above - I may be wrong but I think Edincoat only has seven slots, and the Four Slots definitely has... four slots. =\

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

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

If nobody else wants to ask a question, I'll go ahead and post a really easy one then. :)

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

Hint: it's also the name of a common recurring FF monster which even appears in FFVII. ;)

I do know what it is but only after I cheated =0

Goblins Bar

Yup, you got it 7alentine.

Your go. :D

What is the last boss you fight before being able to obtain the Aqualung enemy skill?

Technically it would be Demon's Gate at the Temple of the Ancients, however, I guess you could always hold off the Wutai sub-quest with Yuffie til then, in which case it would be Rapps.

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

aah yes, but is that the first enemy to use Aqualung? ;)
no... it isnt.

Doh! You're right, silly me forgot you can first learn it from Harpies on the quicksand surrounding Gold Saucer and the Corel Prison on the world map (but only in the buggy). :p

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

correctumundo! your go

At the very beginning of the game, after Jessie opens the gateway in Sector 1 to the bridge leading to the Number 1 Reactor, there is an overhead sign in the service area beyond the gate that flashes several messages when Cloud runs through the area - what are the three things the sign displays?

I think I'll speak for most people by saying, no idea, my first FF7 disc literally has snapped too so I couldn't even find out that way :(

Warning, intruders and some kanjis?

Yup, that's correct Sczepan. I was beginning to think no one would get that question. :p

Anyway, your go. :)

Thanks Enkidoh:)

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

It would freeze the game up within the first ten seconds of the start of the game, as the player is thrown into an automatic (and easy) battle against two MPs right after the opening FMV as soon as Cloud moves forward on the platform.

He didn't mention forced non-boss battles but I have an inclination that he meant to ;)

Yep, as JohnnyMercyside said;) Sorry I didn't word it good enough.

I really don't know to be honest... assuming all battles are void (therefore winning each forced battle by default) and playing the game as normal, I can't really see a moment where the game will be able to stop. Unless we're talking about something like Fort Condor or something like that.

Hmmm, then following that idea the only one I can think of is that it would probably muck up the Battle Arena at Gold Saucer - namely, when you have to fight there to get the Keystone in disc 1. Bypassing the battles would probably cause the game to hang as the program is waiting for an instruction that will never come.

Other than that, I have no idea.

Interesting ideas you have here, but that's still not it. Ok, time for some hints:) That moment happens on 2nd CD and does NOT happen because game freezing or hanging on a certain point. It's just a time, when you have to enter into a random encounter to proceed to another location.

I just realized it would make getting Yuffie impossible for one thing, as you naturally have to get into a random battle to fight her in order to recruit her.

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

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

That's still not it;) Ok one last hint - it happens before waking up as Tifa in Junon. If nobody will get it till tomorrow, I am giving it to Enkidoh for having interesting ideas and trying hard ;)

Hmmm, I did think it could be the Jenova DEATH fight in Whirlwind Maze, but I couldn't remember if it jumped to a cutscene following the end of the battle or just continued on the normal field map, so I didn't mention it. Other than that, I have absolutely no idea.

when you jump through those wind barriers and hit the gush of wind, you are forced to fight Wind Wing.

Ok it's time to reveal the answer:) Do you guys remember the giant icicles in Gaea's Cliff, not long before Schizo? You had to battle them to make them fall and make way to another location:) When you were getting close to them, the random battle occured with them and some bats, but with "no battles" cheat it is impossible to initiate this battle and make them fall. If you can't make them fall, you are stuck.

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

Doh! That's right, I remember them now - I'd completely forgotten you had to actually 'fight' those in battle to make them fall. Good question Szczepan. :)

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

Palmer?

Palmer is correct! He uses a 'Mako Gun' which basically just fires magical attacks at you.

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

Your go Johnny. :)

My first thought was Reno but of course, he uses a rod so it couldn't have been. Good question :)

What does the acronym PHS stand for?

Party Hensei System - apparently 'hensei' means 'changing', so basically it means 'Party Changing System'. In any event, it's a mobile or cellular phone, hence the ringtone when you use it.

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

Well done Enkidoh, your turn :)

What rare piece of equipment can you steal from the Eagle Gun, one of the enemies you have to fight on the Corel Coal Train as Cid in disc 3?

Warrior Bangle? That battle is the only chance to get it, I guess.

That's correct! :D And yes, that is the only time and place in the game you can get one, so it's easily overlooked.

Anyway, your turn Sczcepan. :)

You probably remember Mukki, a muscular man with moustache and also Cloud's close friend since the Honeybee Inn incident ;) You can also meet him in two other places after escape from Midgar. One of them being Costa del Sol and another...

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

Isn't he found drinking at the bar in Costa del Sol? If I remember rightly, he mentions during the scene with him in the Honeybee Inn that he's planning on taking a trip to a 'cabin out in the country', so I guess that's where he was planning on going to.

? I already mentioned Costa del Sol. There is another place far away from there, where he shows ups for a certain reason.

Isn't it in the Icicle Inn area? That's a bit of a guess but I vaguely remember seeing him there.

Correct:) But why did he travel to such a cold place (only in shorts)? xD

Correct:) But why did he travel to such a cold place (only in shorts)? xD

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

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

Well, Red XIII is missing an eye and has a prominent scar across his face, and Barrett and Dyne both lost their lower arms to a Shinra soldier's rifle fire, grafting guns to them (Barret lost his right arm, while Dyne lost his left).

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

Yeah you're right on all FOUR parts :D

Your turn :)

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

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

And don't get me started on Jenova...

So true. :p

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

So true. :p

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

Yuffie is a snack food vendor I believe.

Right character, but wrong occupation I'm afraid.

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

She replaced the materia selling guy? I barely remember that so not really sure:)

That's correct. :) She worked for the materia shop (and apparently helped herself to the owner's stock - later in the game the store only has a small selection of materia to choose from compared to disc 1).

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

Stop me if this has been asked:

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

Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie or Barret.

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

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

WINRAR!

Your go.

What is the suspension system used in the Shinra motor vehicles called?

'SS Wishbone'. Although it sounds more like a ship name. :p

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

That's right, your go :)

Okay, let's see.

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

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

After the ID scan, and with only 15 seconds or so to get out of each car... in the first, speak to the 'Bum' near the top of the car for a Phoenix Down and in the second car there's a guy at the front of it who'll give you a Hi-Potion.

That's correct!

Your go Rev. :)

Simple one: What are the three 'attacks' which are multi elemental?

There's Kjata summon, something like Magic Breath and I'm not sure what the third is...

You're correct so far JohnnyMercyside... just need one more.

Typhoon.

Give it to Johnny since he got 2/3.

That's right. The Enemy Skill, Magic Breath as well as the summons Kujata and Typhon/Typhoon. As execrable gumwrapper suggested, the next question is yours JohnnyMercyside.

Yeah I found out afterwards but I didn't want to post it as I cheated to find out. :)

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

The ship

I think it would be Costa del Sol, as technically the Chocobo Ranch is optional, as it is possible to run across the marshlands on foot and beat the Midgard Zolom (or fight and defeat it) without relying on a chocobo (which I infact have actually done).

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

But I prefer the former answer. ;)

Enkidoh is right with Costa del Sol, the order goes like this (with the italics being avoidable areas):

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

Besides the Chocobo Races, where is the only place in the game where you can find a (non-battle/ride-able) white chocobo?

Mideel isn't it? A baby chocobo?

Yup, that's the one. I was hoping someone would fall for the trap and mention that stupid rumour about being able to breed a white chocobo, but your wisdom shone through. ;)

Your go Johnny. :)

Hehe no, I was leaning towards the chocobo sage if anything, but I think he has a green chocobo if I'm correct. :)

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

It's used by Bizarro Sephiroth. IIRC, it can revive and restore HP on opponents. Has a interesting effect that it misses targets who aren't ko'd, but removes their status effects... I think.

Yeah, it's a weird one you're right. Your go Revan. :)

Ok, following in the same vein as JohnnyMercyside's question... Combo is a four stage hit attack. The second, third and fourth attacks 'may' incur a status effect. What are those status effects and which enemy uses this?

The enemy is Lifeform Hojo, the statuses I'm not so sure about but I'm thinking poison, sleep and confuse...

The Status effects are: the Second attack may inflict Poison; the Third attack may inflict Darkness and the Fourth attack may inflict Sleep. The enemy which uses this ability is indeed Lifeform-Hojo N. For getting the name of the enemy and two of the negative status effects, the next question is yours Meltigemini.

Carrying on with this theme, name two enemies which can use the Blaster attack.

Well, I know Blaster is a traditional ability of courel-type enemies throughout the series, so I'm going to say the Cuahl which is their badly mistranslated name in FFVII. Other than that, I don't know - maybe one of the Weapons?

Northern Crater is the Master Tonberry, and I think he has like 300k health, but the Tonberry is in The Gold Saucer Battle Arena. If I remember correctly he has like 13-20k. Not sure exactly.

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

after 30 pages of responses, you were the only one to get it right... nice job, ShadowBoxer

Thank you kind sir. I stood in line to get this game upon it's release in the U.S. at the age of 8, making me epic nerd... Sad but true, get your giggles but I love this chapter of the series.

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

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

Um, that question you answered Shadowboxer is so far in the past the original poster basically abandoned it, so it's no longer relevant - the actual question which is current I posted my answer for, which I was awaiting confirmation from the original poster (Meltigemini).

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

My apologies. New to the site. I will most definitely keep that in mind when posting >.<

It's okay, looking at my post, I sounded very nasty.

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

Hehe thanks. And no worries, I can understand the irritation with the new guy screwing up the order of things. If anything it was a proper internet welcome.

Enkidoh is right on one, it's been up a while and doesn't seem like anyone is going to get it. The other monster I was looking for is Unknown.

Enkidoh gets the next question. ShadowBoxer you will get your turn I'm sure :)

Hehe, that's right, I remember now. I remember getting hit with it in the Sunken Shinra Plane numerous times while levelling there. ;)

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

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

I know of one. The extended version of the Chocobo Race Track in the Gold Saucer. They're fairly well hidden due to the fast pace. The other I have no clue.

Isn't there some in Wutai as well? I'm sure there is two locations.
