Marquis Ondore Vs. You!

[Goldenboko]

Alright this is just like my Ragtimer Came to Town, SeeD Test, and Maechen Test of Knowledge threads, only based on FFXII knowledge :D

For newcomers this is a simple game where your knowledge of FFXII by answering questions. Let's go over the rules...
One of these threads was once closed because of off topic chatter, so no of topic chatter UNLESS its paired with an answer or a question about the thread...

Ex.



OOC: lol yeah right.

Hey GB, I thought _____ was right as well

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 will wait a little while and declare all who answered it correctly with points... please though hide your answers in spoiler tags, unmarked answers=No points.

I'll start us up with an easy warm up question, I'll make it like one of my traditional beginnings based on the title...

Q1. Where is the first screen you hear Marquis Ondore speak?

EDIT: PuPu wins! Sorry for not telling you guys I ended this :P

[PuPu]

After you press "New Game," the screen with the book.

[Goldenboko]

Right-o!
I was hoping someone would be all like "OMG YOU FIRST SEE HIM AT HIS PALACY PLACE!" but there's no fooling PuPu

Score.

Q2. True or False?
Captain Basch's full name is Basch Von Ronsenburg.

[demondude]

At least give me the point. =(

[demondude]

True

Happy now. :choc2:

[demondude]

Ta-da!

[Goldenboko]

I expected more replies :I

Anyway, Demondude, you are incorrect, the correct answer is false.
Basch's real full name is...
Basch Fon Ronsenburg. :p
Fooled you!

Q3. What percent chance do you have of obtaining the Demonsbane from the chest in King Raithwall's Tomb? Extra point rewarded if you can give a diagram to why.

[demondude]

25% Chance

[PuPu]

There is a 70% chance of the chest appearing, and a 50% chance that an item will be in the chest, rather than Gil, and another 50% chance that the item will be a Demonsbane, rather than a Holy Mote.

(.7)*(.5)*(.5)=.175

Approx~17.5% chance that you will get a Demonsbane, give or take maybe 5%, since I estimated my numbers.

EDIT: How accurate does the answer have to be?

[Goldenboko]

It didn't have to be that accurate, I said approximately. Its aproximately 18% chance, you gave me 17.5 which is close enough :o
You explaination is also correct.
Demondude, I think you just guessed xD

There is an enemy called Cultsworn Lich.

False

[Hazzard]

True, Cultsworn Lich is a rare game monster.

[demondude]

True.


And yes goldenboko I guessed. :p

[PuPu]

True. I think it's found in the Tomb of Wraithwall.

[Goldenboko]

No I didn't forget I just haven't been here much since last year (yeah I'm using that bad pun) although I better start getting in the EoFF mood now :D

The Correct answer was true, you can encounter it in The Tomb of King Raithwall.

Q5. Name the three Shards of Nethicite, and where King Raithwall entrusted them after his death.

[qwertysaur]

Oops, wasn't thinking, oh well.

There is more Nethicite than three shards, first there is the three shards from the sun cryst, Dawn, dusk and midlight. The dawn shard was hidden in the tomb of raithwall, guarded by Belias, the Gigas. The dusk shard was given to Dalmasca as a national treasure, and the midlight shard was given to nabrardia. Along with the Sun Cryst at the top of the Pharos at Riddora, this is the deficated Nethicite found in Ivalice.

There is also the manufactured Nethicite from Draklor Laboratory. There is the piece that Larsa gives and later takes back from Penelo, the piece found with Mjirn after the battle with Tiamat, and the pieces infused in Judge Bergan. There is probably more manufactured Nethicite other than the few pieces shown.

[Goldenboko]

I expected more answers to that one o.0

Q7. If you have 5000HP, and have the bubble status on, and where hit by an attack that did 100 damage how much HP would you have?

[qwertysaur]

4,900

[Vivisteiner]

9900 I think. Take that as my answer, although it could be 9899

[Fynn]

9899, since the maximum amount of HP is 9999 and Bubble doubles your max HP.

[Goldenboko]

The correct answer is 4900.
Bubble actually raises your HP above 9999, it will still read as 9999, but you'll have a buffer between when you HP will drop. Need proof? Try it yourself :p

Vivisteiner is the only one who got it right.

[qwertysaur]

You said the answer is 4,900 and that is what I said.

[Fynn]

Yeah, don't you mean 9900?
Anyway...
False

[Goldenboko]

Whoops I did mean 9900 I was reading qwerty's answer when posting so it musta screwed me up xD

Damn, Ive forgotten the name of Vossler's weapon. It says in my guide but I cant find it.

I remember that Larsa has the Joyeuse.

As to you're answer

The first half of FFXII's opening theme originated from FFI and was called "Final Fantasy"/"Ahead on our way".

[Fynn]

The first half of FFXII's opening theme originated from FFI and was called 'The Prelude'.

why dont some1 else take over just until golden boko gets back or something

Hey, hey, hey!
I was busy! But I guess the idea of someone being busy for a few days mystifies you ;p

I left it alone for 3 days, not a freakin' week...

And also I was trying to find a few sources on the question I just asked.
As far as I'm concerned the official name was "The Prelude". Now since I got the same answer (which was wrong), by a few people, I'm inclined to think either A. Someone cheated and looked at the above answerer or B. I was wrong.

If anyone can find a source, then I may be inclined to change how I award my points.
Thats why I was late, I was trying to see what a few friends and sources thought about this question :p

Q12. What status effect is instantly inflicted upon you (and unable to be removed until the battle is over) in the fight against Cuchulainn?

[PuPu]

Technically, none. The Magick Field in the arena causes an effect that is similar to the Sap effect.

I know it's not the Sap effect because he can additionally inflict Sap on to your characters, which causes their HP to drain at a faster rate, since you have the Magick Field and the Sap effect draining your characters' HP.

[Goldenboko]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang. PuPu just embarrassed me considering I didn't know that was the correct answer till he said it. When he said it I just remembered, (and checked with a source), so two points for PuPu and I'm going to move away from this question to take away to the chance for anyone else to embarrass me :p

four of each

Four, I believe...

4 Level 1's, 4 Level 2's, and 4 Level 3's (though the order does not matter)

Paragon of Justice?

Brave Companion, which requires that you defeat 14 other marks and have 100000 Clan Points

[Goldenboko]

Thank you Heath, for laying down the law.

I haven't been on EoFF in the past week. It happens with me often. Random weeks I just don't come here.

Anyway the correct answer was Brave Companion. Oh and Tidus_Rox, you are not allowed to check your answer ever. This game is suppose to test you knowledge.

This would be a good time to say, that if I ever suspect you of cheating, or using an source, I have my ways of figuring it out. If I ever suspect you of using an alternate source I will start with a PM, if I suspect you again, you won't get the point for the question in suspect, a third time, and you are eliminated no exceptions.

Q23. Math question?
What is the lowest possible sum of all your party member's levels?

[PuPu]

Well, I've heard about the 122333 challenge, so 1+2+2+3+3+3=14

You call this math? :p Here's a better math problem.

If n=the total number of points I need to have in order to win, and x=the number of points I currently have, what is n-x?

In other words, how long will it take for me to eventually win this game?

[Goldenboko]

This game is like a huge marathon that ends when I get bored, there is no set time when your done. Just when I'm too lazy to make another post PuPu?

therefore
n-x=q

[qwertysaur]

1, when you have only Vaan in the beginning of the game. If you want a full party, then 1+2+2+3+3+3=14

[Clawsze]

1 when you only have Vaan, but since you said all party members, 14.
Quite ambiguous.

[Heath]

Well one, presumably. If you want all six, then the answer is fourteen.

[Goldenboko]

I really want to kick everyone in the balls who hinted 1, or said 1. Seriously.

B. Headgear is initial available in Panamis' Protectives.
C. Aero is available after defeating Belias in Yugri's Magicks.
