SeeD Test III

[Goldenboko]

Think your the best SeeD there is? Well time to prove your knowledge because the SeeD Test is back... again The rules are mostly the same. The first person to answer the given question correctly is given the points, now the first thread had too many people who continually refreshed the page, if I see that happening, I will change the rules, hopefully that won't be necessary. Please put all answers in Spoiler Tags.
The point system works like this
1 point for... Answering a question correctly, or Noticing an error in my question
2 points for... Noticing an error in my question, and answering the question correctly.
3 points for... Finding my answer to be incorrect and providing a correct answer and a source to back up your correction.
I may give extra points to people for explanations or great answers.

Get your pencils out and good luck here is the first question!

Wow Comet, never believed you when you said, you were the bomb at this game!

[Goldenboko]

Wow Comet, never believed you when you said, you were the bomb at this game!

Yeah but Endless always ends up winning XP

Correct PuPu you forgot the Solomons Ring

Q4 True or False?
No enemy can be immune to 0 Vitality.

[PuPu]

True.

By the way, I'm going to win this, and not comet, Endless, or anybody else can stop me. ;)

[ragnosica]

well if u check the questions from the Seed tests and then you go to the walkthrough section and find out the correct answers, it's pretty easy to win this game without ever playing FF8:(

[Goldenboko]

PuPu got it right, whether he's actually gonna win, thats up for debate XP

Oh and
A. I know PuPu, he knows more then the walkthroughs
and
B. But what fun would that be? Not to mention this game gets going pretty fast sometimes and the question could be answered before anyone gets the chance to look it up sometimes.


1. Comet_______________________2
1. PuPu________________________2
2. ragnosica____________________1

True or False
Squall cannot get any stats maxed with junctions.

[demondude]

False

[Goldenboko]

Correct (anyone who played the game for 10 minutes should notice his Hit % is maxed)


1. Comet_______________________2
1. PuPu________________________2
2. ragnosica____________________1
2. demondude55________________1

True or False?
In your fight with Odin he doesn't attack you.

[demondude]

True

[TheSpoonyBard]

False-ish. He won't attack unless the timer runs out, in which case he'll use Zantetsuken.

[Comet]

No, the answer is true. When the timer runs out the screen just goes black, and the party ends up outside Cetra Ruins.

[TheSpoonyBard]

If you're not fighting Odin, then yes. But if the time expires during the battle, he uses Zantetsuken.

[demondude]

Then surely im right it is true weres my point:)

[Goldenboko]

Hey, hey, hey don't get all angry for not immediately responding, I just wasn't on the forum.

I'm going to give all of you the point because, I forgot about him using Zantetsuken when the timer goes up.


1. Comet_______________________3
2. demondude55________________2
2. PuPu________________________2
3. ragnosica____________________1
3. Endless._____________________1

True or False?
To use any draw point all you need is to have draw junctioned.

[demondude]

false

[Goldenboko]

Yep, some draw points you can see, and the one in that village (Memory is killing me!) you need to pay for.

Q7 What does Angel Wing do?
Extra point for how much it multiplies by.

[demondude]

cast random magic 5x theyre intitial power

[Goldenboko]

cast random magic 5x theyre intitial power

Be more specific. Angel Wing is actually more complex then that.

[Comet]

Cast random attack magic (NOT cure or Esuna etc) 5X the normal power your magic is, at that time.

[Goldenboko]

Comet got more of the answer, but Angel Wing is still more complex.

[demondude]

:( damn you comet and youre ability to beat me

:choc2: youre going down goldenboko *shakes fist*:choc2:

[Comet]

I forgot, you cannot control her after you use Angel Wing.

[demondude]

It also makes her immune to status ailment

[Goldenboko]

I forgot, you cannot control her after you use Angel Wing.

Still only enough for a 1 point answer... (I'm handing out a total of three if you get a lot of how it works)

[demondude]

lol i dont think ill win this nah just kidding:)

[PuPu]

Nightmare, that's not what this thread is about. It's kind of just like an FF8 Test.

Angel Wing:
After it is used, Rinoa randomly casts magic selected from her stock magic and she becomes out of your control. They are 5x more powerful than they would be if they were normally casted. She will ONLY select magic from her stock magic, (so if she doesn't have Ultima, she won't use Ultima) though they are NOT removed from her stock magic (so if she has 100x Meteor and casts Meteor four times, she'll still have 100 at the end of the battle). Basically, it's like the Berserk status effect, except it applies to Magic instead of Attack. Oh yeah, and there is no way to cure it unless she is KO'd and revived, or petrified and cured of Petrify.

[Goldenboko]

PuPu was the closest to earning all three points... I'll let the question stand for a little while longer before I decide who gets what points.

[demondude]

Okay take this

once rinoa uses angel wing she goes into a beserker mode using only magics but 5xs stronger she will only use magics that she has stocked but it will not take it out of het total stocked amount if she dies she will remain beserked when she is revived unless the battle ends she is also immune to harmul statuse effects she will not use curw or esuna when in angel wing however:)

[PuPu]

Oh I forgot, she doesn't cast curative magic like Curaga or any support magic like Haste, Protect, Aura, etc. She only casts Black Magic like Fire, Status-changing (the bad statuses) magic like Blind, and powerful Non-Elemental magic like Flare. She also does cast Holy, even though it is "white magic" because it does damage.

And if she has no stocked magic, she will only do a physical attack. She also can't be Silenced, Berserked, or Confused, since that would interfere with the function of Angel Wing. Though I believe she is still affected by most other statuses.

[demondude]

:cry: i try so hard yet i still lose
i will get you pupuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu:mad2:

[Goldenboko]

PuPu got it, and since he clearly was the one who really knew that answer, he gets all three points, except the extra which goes to demondude (he posted that first), comet also gets 1 point for his ok answer.

1. PuPu________________________5- Nice comeback

Q8 True or False?
The only difference between characters in battle are their Sprites, and limits.
If you say false, give another difference.

[demondude]

false weapons are different:)

[PuPu]

False, the animation which they all use to cast Magic is also different.

For example, Squall puts his hand on his forehead, whereas Zell moves his arms. Squall also uses one hand when he executes the spell, whereas Zell uses both of his hands.

[Goldenboko]

False, the animation which they all use to cast Magic is also different.

For example, Squall puts his hand on his forehead, whereas Zell moves his arms. Squall also uses one hand when he executes the spell, whereas Zell uses both of his hands.


false weapons are different:)

Those would fall under sprite differences.

[demondude]

dont theyre weapons have stat differences?

[Goldenboko]

dont theyre weapons have stat differences?

That is an acceptable answer.
Your first answer was "Their weapons are different" you had to include the fact that their stats where different to make it matter, otherwise it is just a Sprite difference.

Another acceptable answer would've been their base stats are different.

Q9. How many Phoenix Pinions are obtainable?

[PuPu]

Oh of course; The answer's so obvious!


False! Their names on the bottom of the screen are different!:)


Edit: Oh wait, never mind, it's too late.

To the next question:

2? 1 from the Shumi Elder and another from the Winhill sidequest by catching a Chicobo at the crossing.

Or, if you don't mean just "finding them," infinitely many; you could also refine them from Mega Phoenixes. 3 Mega Phoenix=1 Phoenix Pinion I think. And you can get a Mega Phoenix from 50 Phoenix Downs, which can be bought.

[Goldenboko]

Bit delayed, but I'll give you the point (good one PuPu)

Q9. How many Phoenix Pinions are obtainable?

[demondude]

getting the chocobo in the windmill village sidequest gets you one and the shumi elder gives you one as well.

[Goldenboko]

My question was specifically "Obtainable", so that means, how many is it possible to get in total, and PuPu is correct, as many as you want.

Q10. Name all of Diablos's attacks.

[demondude]

cure cura curaga demi and holy

[Goldenboko]

Nope...

[PuPu]

Um...I don't exactly understand the question but...

He uses Demi, Gravija, and a physical attack, but if you use Demi on him, he counters and casts Curaga on the character who casted it on him (WTF? I think Square meant to have it target himself, but it got glitched and screwed up).

Or do you mean that he uses Dark Messenger when you summon him, the damage increasing by a percentage as his level increases?

Oh and demondude listed the magic that you can Draw from him, though I don't think that's the correct answer.

[Comet]

When you battle him - Curaga, Gravija, Demi, also physical stab

When he is your sumon - Dark Messenger

[demondude]

Yeah im confused with this question can you explain it clearer:)

[Goldenboko]

I was looking for the attacks he can use when you fight him it seemed pretty clear. But yeah PuPu's right, he even remembered the Curaga on your characters when you cast Demi on him.

[PuPu]

I think it's a Hyper Wrist along with his card.

[Goldenboko]

No editing answers demondude, I saw that.

PS- It seems we have people smashing refresh a lot (you know who you are), so I'm implementing a new rule...

Put all of your answers in spoiler tags, and answers are acceptable until I respond. (I'm trusting y'all won't look in the tags.

Q12. What happens to a character if he successfully eats a malboro?

[demondude]

i thought you said ruby dragon thats why i had the worong answer initially

[PuPu]

I'm trusting y'all won't look in the tags.
What tags? :p

[demondude]

i editet it before pupu answered

[Goldenboko]

That makes no difference, demondude it would be too easy for people to quickly make a response like "s" and then change it to the correct answer before someone else responds.

Anyway I editted in the next question

[Comet]

You get a lot of HP taken away and a random status ailement

[demondude]

I got mixed up it dosent matter anyway pupu is gonna win:)

[Goldenboko]

I got mixed up it dosent matter anyway pupu is gonna win:)

Don't be so sure, SeeD test usually lasts at least 10 pages and a couple of days.

Anyway...
Correct Comet

Intermission time! I'll be back with more question later.

[demondude]

ive gotta go in 20 mins:cry:

check out my challenge thread in the 12 forum or my hurt and heal in the final fantasy 9 1

[PuPu]

If the Malboro is Lvl 1-29, it will inflict high damage and many bad statuses if it is eaten. If it is lvl 30+ it will increase the character's spirit by +1. I bet you are using the official FF8 strategy guide for you questions, are you not?

Also, with the new spoiler tag rule, does this mean that now everyone who answers the question correctly will get a point, since now they would be unable to read someone else's answer and copy it (since this is why I thought you made it so only the first person to answer correctly gets a point).

[Goldenboko]

No, everyone gets the point if they answer, BEFORE I post.

Q13. What is the first question I asked you in SeeD Test III?

[PuPu]

True or False.
Ifrit is the first boss of the game.

[Goldenboko]

Your answer isn't in spoiler tags.

[Comet]

If the Malboro is Lvl 1-29, it will inflict high damage and many bad statuses if it is eaten. If it is lvl 30+ it will increase the character's spirit by +1. I bet you are using the official FF8 strategy guide for you questions, are you not?

Also, with the new spoiler tag rule, does this mean that now everyone who answers the question correctly will get a point, since now they would be unable to read someone else's answer and copy it (since this is why I thought you made it so only the first person to answer correctly gets a point).

PuPu, you blatantly looked up on the internet for that Malboro question. I hope you are not going to do that for the rest of this game.

[PuPu]

Actually, no. I actually once had the FF8 official strategy guide, and I remember peeking through and remember tiny bits of information, like the Malboro's stats. I remembered that Malboro did give +1 spirit, and I remembered that as a somewhat important fact. I don't remember everything that I saw though, like the HP of a T-Rexaur at level 43, or the name of an arbitrary area on the world map of FF8.

I don't have the guide anymore (since I gave it to Goldenboko;you can ask him yourself) and I did not cheat by looking it up on the internet or anything like that. But I do tend to know a bit more than stuff in the FF8 Strategy Guide because I spent time on other forums and on the internet during previous times. Alright? I'm not cheating and I am sorry if it seemed like I was.

[Goldenboko]

I trust PuPu didn't cheat anyway I still have that really easy question up for grabs (Except for you PuPu, you already screwed up) xp

[PuPu]

(Except for you PuPu, you already screwed up) xp

You know I hate you, right?

[Comet]

Don't tell me the question is 'How much HP does a T-rexaur have at Level 43?' lol

[Goldenboko]

Don't tell me the question is 'How much HP does a T-rexaur have at Level 43?' lol
No. DAMN IT SOMEONE ANSWER THIS!
You'd have to be stupid not to get it.



Q13. What is the first question I asked you in SeeD Test III?

True or False?
Selphie's Limit can cast spells a certain amount of times, and thats all.

[Comet]

False.

Her Limit Break also has moves which no other characters are able to use:

The End
Rapture
Full Cure
Wall

[Goldenboko]

False.

Her Limit Break also has moves which no other characters are able to use:

The End
Rapture
Full Cure
Wall

Sry No spoiler tags, no points

[Hazzard]

Is that you, Comet, showing them what's really happening down in North West L.O!

[PuPu]

Selphie's Slots randomly selects a spell and a number of times that it will be casted. It can be alternated and she has four special attacks unique to her: Full-Cure, Wall, Rapture, and The End. (there are also two which I heard you can unlock with cheat codes) So, my answer is false.

[Comet]

False.

Her Limit Break also has moves which no other characters are able to use:

The End
Rapture
Full Cure
Wall
Sorry, I had no spoiler tags I was in a hurry to go to sleep. I hope I get a point as I wrote the answer first anyway.

Edit: I hope you have a source, or any proof, PuPu, about the '2 unlockable limit breaks' you speak of.

[Goldenboko]

I briefly remember something about gameshark needed for those limits, so no extra point for you PuPu :P

[TheSpoonyBard]

17

I've heard of Selphie's 'hidden' limits. They're called Percent and Catastrophe.

[Comet]

Also Kamikaze, and Shockwae Pulsar does not break the 9999HP barrier.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Quistis' Shockwave Pulsar
Eden's Eternal Breath
Cactuar (Lv100)'s 10,000 Needles
Jumbo Cactuar's 10,000 Needles
Boko's ChocoBuckle
Kamikaze

[Goldenboko]

First off Comet it was pretty clear you read PuPu's spoiler, don't do it again.

PuPu you are correct 1 point, Endless, your knowledge never cease to amaze me (I totally didn't know about Chocobuckle), 2 points for you.

[PuPu]

Laser Eye, Ultra Waves, Electrocute, Level ? Death, Degenerator, Bad Breath, Acid, Fire Breath, Mighty Guard Aqua Breath, Missle, Homing Laser, Ray Bomb, Shockwave Pulsar...so that's 14 I guess. I'm probably forgetting a few, and I'm probably wrong because her limits show in multiples of 4

[ragnosica]

10

[Goldenboko]

Laser Eye, Ultra Wave, Electrocute, Lv? Death, Degenerator, Aqua Breath, Micro Missile, Acid, Gatling gun, Bad Breath, Fire Breath, White Wind, Homing Lazer, Mighty Guard, Shockwave Pulsar, and Raybomb.

That's 16 comet is correct.

Q24. How do you obtain Raybomb?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Use a [Power Generator] item on Quistis. It's a Rare Mug from a Lv30+ Blitz, can be found in Lunatic Pandora, and by way of the PocketStation.

EDIT: Also, there's no such thing as Raybomb. The move used by Quistis and the X-ATM092 is Ray-Bomb.

[Christmas]

I am gonna press F5 here until I get to answer one question right before the others.

[PuPu]

Ray-Bomb is learned by using a Power Generator item on Quistis, which is a rare drop from the Blitz monster I believe.

What status's do Mighty Guard add?

[licence]

Haste, Shell, Protect. I think it also casts Aura and Regen sometimes.

[PuPu]

Mighty Guard adds Protect, Shell, Haste, Regen, Aura, and Float I think.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Normally it only casts Protect and Shell, but the following may also appear depending on Quistis' Crisis Level: Haste, Aura, Regen, Float and Invincibility.

[Takero]

Angel Wing Cast random magic that effect enemies from rinoa's magic list.
