[Jiro]

I am thinking of a place in one of the Final Fantasy games. Ask me yes or no questions until you know where in the world I am. Winner can take over or I can keep going, up to you guys. Go nuts.

Only ask up to 5 questions in one post though.

[Jinx]

Are you in an Old School generation location?
...Golden Age?
...Modern Age?
Are you in an MMO?

[Jowy]

Are you in a forested or open landscape?
How is the architecture as compared to other locations in the world?
Is a castle anywhere nearby?
Is it only accessible by an airship?
For a novice adventurer, how likely would they be to die horribly by the nearby monsters?

[Hollycat]

Are you Lindblum?

[Gamblet]

Are you in Ivalice?

[Jiro]

Sorry about the delay, been a busy day for me!

For any question that doesn't get a simple yes, I am answering no btw. Gotta narrow your scope a little more on some of these.

[Hollycat]

[Karifean]

Your questions were still useful despite the intent behind them dude. No big deal. I was gonna say something, but I was enjoying your questions :monster:

[Karifean]

Heh, better than nothing I guess. So Disc 3+, eh? Are you the Escape Pod Landing Site?

[Jiro]

Heh, better than nothing I guess. So Disc 3+, eh? Are you the Escape Pod Landing Site?
Nope!

[Hollycat]

Is the answer the kashabald desert?
Is the answer Dingo Desert?

[Jiro]

Is the answer the kashabald desert?

No.
Nope.

[Hollycat]

You've got me stumped.

Does this location have a map besides the world map?

[Jiro]

Does this location have a map besides the world map?

Yes.

[Karifean]

Are you on Esthar Continent?
Are you reachable by Chocobo?
Does Laguna ever end up in you?
Are you a mandatory visit?
Do you have a dot on the world map that represents you?

[Slothy]

Does Laguna ever end up in you?

He wishes. ;)

[Jiro]

No.
Yes.

[Hollycat]

Is it Sorceress's memorial?
Is it research center

[Karifean]

Hmm...

Are you The Salt Flats?
Are you to the east of Esthar?
Do you, in any way, have a tool of transportation available to the player (I.E. Lifts or Space Shuttles)?
Will the Queen of Cards ever be located at you?
Does your name start with an "L"?

[Jiro]

No.

Almost there folks, you can do it :jess:

[Slothy]

Is it in that place you find PuPu? (I think anyway, been a while since I played that far in the game)

[Jiro]

Is it in that place you find PuPu? (I think anyway, been a while since I played that far in the game)

No.

[Jiro]

This wasn't very successful :shobon:

[Hollycat]

We kinda ran out of things to guess.

Is the answer Esthar itself?
Is it tears point?

If it's not one of those then you've been smurfing with us.

[Jiro]

The answer is Tear's Point. Ding. You can't say "oh there are no answers left" when there clearly are :jess: You're up! I know I am going to ask much better questions ;)

[Hollycat]

Okay, I've got it.

[Jiro]

Are you located in a game from the Golden Age?
" the Modern Age?
" Old School Age?

[Hollycat]

Golden age.

[Jinx]

FFVII?
FFVII?
FFIX?
FFX?

Yes
Yes
No

[Karifean]

Darn it, I ticked off Tear's Point when you said it wasn't to the east of Esthar. I guess it's not.

Anyways,

are you represented by a dot on the world map?
Are you accessible by airship (alone)?
Are you accessible in Dirge of Cerberus?
Can the player find a summon materia somewhere in close proximity?
Is visiting you mandatory?

I have no idea. I doubt it.
Yes.
I think so.

[Karifean]

Are you on the Eastern Continent?
Are you on the Western Continent?
Are you on the Northern Continent?
Are you accessible via Tiny Bronco?
Does the party ever meet the Turks at you?

[Karifean]

Are you Gongaga?

[Hollycat]

Yep, your turn!

[Karifean]

Nice. Fun fact: Gongaga, for some reason, does not have a representative dot on the world map. It's also not mandatory. Don't blame you for not knowing that, though, that's not exactly common knowledge.

Okay, start guessing.

[Jiro]

Start with the usual three: Old School? Golden Age? Modern Era?

Also sorry about the location question; Tear's Point is almost directly south-east and so "east" wasn't really correct! Do you think that's a good idea, or should we use a less specific marker?

I think the way the rest of us understood the question East meant East, including both north and south east.

[Karifean]

No. Yes. No.

Unrelated question: Could you theoretically pick something that's not distinct? Like, say, simply "airship"?

That's not really a specific location.

[Jiro]

If you can enter it and walk around, I don't see why not. Locations are locations, right? We just need to think laterally.

Could you be considered a city?

Are you able to be visited prior to the Yensa Sand Sea?

[Karifean]

Yes.


Rabanastre?

No, No, No and No.

[Jiro]

If Rabanastre was the equator, would you be located in the northern hemisphere?

[Karifean]

Yes.

[Jiro]

Balfonheim?
Nalbina Fortress?

[Karifean]

Balfonheim?


Bingo.

[CimminyCricket]

I can't believe I've missed this.

[Jiro]

Alrighty, let's do this.

I'll save you some time and trouble: Final Fantasy VII.

Go!

[Slothy]

Is it a city?
Town?
Reactor?
On the world map?
Gold saucer?

[CimminyCricket]

are you part of a sidequest?
is there a powerful piece of materia associated with you?
are you accessible only by chocobo?
is an airship (or special chocobo) the only option of reaching you?
are you by the sea?

[CimminyCricket]

in my head i'm defining powerful as kotr/mime/etc

are you on the north continent?
are you near junion?
are you near midgar?
are you kalm?
are you that mini desert with the midgar zolom?

[Karifean]

Does a dot (specifically) represent you on the world map?
Are you on the western continent?
Are you on an island, as in not on any of the three major continents?
Can you be accessed on Disc 1?
Is visiting you mandatory?

[Jinx]

Are you the Temple of the Ancients?
Are you the City of the Ancients?

[Karifean]

Are you Lucrecia's Cave?

[Jiro]

Are you Lucrecia's Cave?

No. (But I thought about using this one before I chose the real answer, so funny how you came to this conclusion!)

[Karifean]

There aren't that many places on the western continent you can't access on Disc 1, especially if they're also NOT special-chocobo-exclusive yet still associated with "powerful" materia (admittedly I had fogotten about that last part).

Are you the secret room in Cosmo Canyon containing the Full Cure materia?

[Jiro]

Are you the secret room in Cosmo Canyon containing the Full Cure materia?
No.

You'll figure this one out by process of elimination and be unhappy until I point out a semantic point and you'll be like "ohhhh :aimmad:"

[Jinx]

Are you the Ancient Forest (forest near Cosmo Canyon)?

[Karifean]

Ugh, I have a bad feeling about this.

Are you a sublocation to a location that is also accessible at earlier points of the game? (exactly like the secret room in Cosmo Canyon)
Are you home to a specific, unique materia?
Can you be associated to a sole specific party member?
Are you mobile?

Are you the Ancient Forest?
Edit: Beat to it, damn.

[Jiro]

Ancient Forest is indeed the answer. It's like, Slash All or something in there, so I consider that powerful enough. Jinx girl, you're up!

[Jinx]

and goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Old school?
Modern?
Golden age?
Are you a world map region?
