misc questions

[Pumpkin]

I have a list of questions, none of which are important enough for their own topic, so I just piled them into one.

1. Where can I find the stones for Shumi Village? I asked specialist about the blue stone and he said he thinks he had it the othe day. I need something a bit more specific than that.

2. Who's idea was it to put an orphanage on Centra? Who went - Gee why don't we raise children on the only continent with no signs of civilization, so if one of the children needs medical attention or if we need, say, groceries, all we have to do is CROSS THE OCEAN. Really?

3.Should Meteor have taken a hiatus after ff7? Or at least made it better in 8? It goes from a major spell summoned by Sephiroth to potentially destroy the planet, to a spell summoned by Lefty which, quite frankly, doesn't do that much damage. In 7, people feared Sephiroth and his Meteor casting abilities. In 8, did they fear Lefty? No, I don't think they did.

4. Why are there only Sorceresses and no sorcerers?

5. Where can I find the White SeeD Ship after I get the Ragnarok?

6. On a fluke, I found out that Raijin and Fujin are vulnerable to sleep in Lunatic Pandora. I thought all bosses were immune to everything. What bosses did I miss that were vulnerable to something? Is Adel by any chance vulnerable to sleep?

7. Did the music in Great Salt Lake creep anyone else out O.O

8. I don't really understand Laguna's path to Esthar. I read in Selphie's online thingy that he got their from FH. I thought he went through Tribia and through that mountain path where he made the movie and fought the dragon. If you go through it, it goes from Tribia to Esthar. I figured he was in Tribia after he left Shumi Village. Why would he go through Tribia to Esthar, to then go somewhere else, then FH, then back to Esthar? Am I missing something?

9. Why were they breeding monsters on the Ragnarok?

10. When I was forced to use Edea in Esthar, I transfered over Quistis's magic to her. Now she is gone and although most of my magic's are back, distributed among all my characters, a few spells are missing. And yes, I am sure, I keep a magic log of which characters have which magics. Is there any way to get those back without having to start over drawing them all over again.

11. Once I get the Ragnaok, why wont Balamb Garden go back to Balamb. They're just kinda stranded their at FH, whith no way to go visit their families and such. It's kinda sad.

12. Is Angelo a girl or a boy?

Thanks for the help and sorry if it's a bit long.

No. Rinoa is able to make Comet the most powerful spell in the game because of her Angel Wing Limit Break. It allows her to effectively use the spell repeatedly to inflict 9999 multiple times without depleting its stock.

I'll answer what's fresh in my mind at the moment.

1. I think that stone is right behind him (no joke) the others are slightly harder, but if you get stuck I'll help (the "Shadow Stone" is the one most people get stuck on - it is *above* the Shumi village.

3. Meteor has been a spell in various FFs, it is just used as something more serious in FFVII - like how in FFIX Ultima is used as a plot device.

4. Hyne is male, so he could have been a sorcerer, I don't know why there aren't any around now though.

11. Balamb Garden is still capable of moving, but for some reason Square never move it from FH during the game.

12. I'm pretty sure he's a boy, though I'm trying to remember if the game mentions that (to me "Angelo" would be a boy's name).

I have a list of questions, none of which are important enough for their own topic, so I just piled them into one.

1. Where can I find the stones for Shumi Village? I asked specialist about the blue stone and he said he thinks he had it the othe day. I need something a bit more specific than that.

The large blue rock behind the statue



2. Who's idea was it to put an orphanage on Centra? Who went - Gee why don't we raise children on the only continent with no signs of civilization, so if one of the children needs medical attention or if we need, say, groceries, all we have to do is CROSS THE OCEAN. Really?

Most likely to keep them safe. Seeing how Esthar and Galbadia were fighting a global war and even after Esthar closed its borders, Galbadia continued its military expansion on the western continent. Besides, it had the Centra there a few decades earlier...


3.Should Meteor have taken a hiatus after ff7? Or at least made it better in 8? It goes from a major spell summoned by Sephiroth to potentially destroy the planet, to a spell summoned by Lefty which, quite frankly, doesn't do that much damage. In 7, people feared Sephiroth and his Meteor casting abilities. In 8, did they fear Lefty? No, I don't think they did.

MJN Seifer pretty much covered this. Meteor was a plot device only in FFIV and FFVII. Its been a regular spell in the series since FFIII, so I don't see why the game should drop it, especially since you never get the actual Meteor or Holy spell in VII since they are plot devices.


4. Why are there only Sorceresses and no sorcerers?

Because Nojima can't write...


5. Where can I find the White SeeD Ship after I get the Ragnarok?

Its gone, after the one time you visit the ship, it becomes unavailable.


6. On a fluke, I found out that Raijin and Fujin are vulnerable to sleep in Lunatic Pandora. I thought all bosses were immune to everything. What bosses did I miss that were vulnerable to something? Is Adel by any chance vulnerable to sleep?

Never found many bosses not immune to most of the major status effects except Meltdown. Adel doesn't have any statuses she's weak to but she absorbs Holy and she is weak to wind.


7. Did the music in Great Salt Lake creep anyone else out O.O

Can't say it did.


8. I don't really understand Laguna's path to Esthar. I read in Selphie's online thingy that he got their from FH. I thought he went through Trabia and through that mountain path where he made the movie and fought the dragon. If you go through it, it goes from Trabia to Esthar. I figured he was in Trabia after he left Shumi Village. Why would he go through Trabia to Esthar, to then go somewhere else, then FH, then back to Esthar? Am I missing something?

Laguna never found a way into Esthar by traveling through either the Trabia continent or Centra. His group eventually tries to go through the only man made way into the eastern continent (FH) and that how they got captured. He never made it to Esthar before they were captured.


9. Why were they breeding monsters on the Ragnarok?

See answer #4



10. When I was forced to use Edea in Esthar, I transferred over Quistis's magic to her.

No

12. Is Angelo a girl or a boy?

According to the Ultimania books, Angelo is a she despite having a male name.


Thanks for the help and sorry if it's a bit long.

No problem. ;)

[Pumpkin]

I didn't know about the Rinoa's Limit Break making Meteor stronger, it makes more sense now. I've only used a Limit bReak once, since I out right refuse to have my characters HP drop below 60% if I can help it, so I don't know much abou them.

But thanks for the help everyone :)

4. Why are there only Sorceresses and no sorcerers?


There is a story about the Great Hyne at the Final Fantasy Wiki (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Great_Hyne). It states that Hyne likely hid his powers in the bodies of women which would explain somewhat why only women can become Sorceresses.

So I did a big long post and then saw WK answered it already. Dammit.

2. Who's idea was it to put an orphanage on Centra? Who went - Gee why don't we raise children on the only continent with no signs of civilization, so if one of the children needs medical attention or if we need, say, groceries, all we have to do is CROSS THE OCEAN. Really?

Because There's Sorceress War in Galbadia Continent
That's why they made the orphanage in Centra Continent.


4. Why are there only Sorceresses and sorcerers?
Because The Nature of The Sorceress Power.


5. Where can I find the White SeeD Ship after I get the Ragnarok?

You can't find it anymore.


9. Why were they breeding monsters on the Ragnarok?

I think Those are aliens.
Or they just some experiment created by Esthar that end in failure.



12. Is Angelo a girl or a boy?

It's female.

[Hollycat]

Angelo is a male name. If it was female it would be Angelica. O is masculine.

[Evol]

She is Female.
Read the wiki about her.

Stupid Japanese and their inability to understand spanish, italian, and english

That is rude of you to say that.

There is something rather interesting about the use of a masculine/feminine name for the opposite gender. A friend of mine is determined to name his first daughter James. Also, Sant' Angelo di Roma is pretty "flowery" so I can easily see that being a feminine name, especially for a pet. There is just something about pets that let you name them strange and wonderful things without it being obviously weird.
