Final Fantasy Tactics Trivia!

[BG-57]

Well Ribbon obviously. It'll cancel everything except Earth and Lightning Elemental Magic. Both Rubber Suit and Rubber Boots block Lightning.

Are you sure that absorption isn't allowable? Earth Clothes is the only armor/accessory I can find that deals with Earth Magic, so I'll go with:

Earth Clothes
Ribbon
Rubber Boots

[Despotus]

Are you sure that absorption isn't allowable? Earth Clothes is the only armor/accessory I can find that deals with Earth Magic

Yeah, no absorption. :scary: When I was brainstorming this question I was originally thinking "What combo will protect you from the most status effects and spells without reflecting them?" Simple, but there were 3 different combos. So, I had to get more specific and decided to eliminate absorbing the spell as well. That takes it to just one combo. ;) You're very close, but there is another item you can use to make a character immune to Earth magic. :D

[BG-57]

D'oh! :eek:

I think I get it! Equipping Feather Boots would make you immune to Earth spells! You'd float right over the attacks.

Equip:

Ribbon
Rubber Suit
Feather Boots

[Despotus]

Yeeeeessss!! :D
That is the correct combo, BG-57. Sorry it took me so long to post a reply, I had waaay too much fun last night. Anyway, it's your shot bro'!

[BG-57]

That question required some lateral thinking. Well done Despotus! :)

Question: Name two battles that have names that are anagrams of other words. Include the original words.

[RedCydranth]

MLAPAN =NAPALM
NOGIAS =SAIGON

2 of the deep dungeon Levels.

[BG-57]

Correct!

Your turn RedCydranth. :)

[RedCydranth]

Which of Rafa's Truth skills causes status effects?

[BG-57]

Space Storage.


Question: What's the first battle in which you can get an item by Move-Find that cannot ever be purchased in shops?

[Despotus]

I think it's Bervennia Volcano where you'll find Cloud's Materia Blade... but that's just a guess. :fpindesc:

[RedCydranth]

Germinas Peak's Vanish Mantle is my guess.

[BG-57]

RedCydranth, Germinas Peak was what I was thinking of, but I think you have a point, Despotus. If memory serves, Bervennia Volcano appears on the map first in chapter 4, and you could technically go there before Germinas Peak, but you won't need to as part of the plot until after you get a certain character who drops hints about it.

[Despotus]

Yeah, the Volcano appears just after you finish the Riovannes Castle battles. I've been there in my current game, but G. Peak hasn't appeared yet... so should I ask one? :confused:

[BG-57]

Unfortunately, my question was too vague. :( You're both correct, and you answered first. So go ahead.

[Despotus]

Thinking chronologically, who is the first character that dies in a scene or battle that actually plays out on screen? (To explain further, St. Ajora's execution doesn't count because we didn't see it.) ;)

[BG-57]

Do flashbacks count?

[Despotus]

Oh yes.

[BG-57]

Balbanes?

[feioncastor]

You said in a battle or a scene. The first death would be whoever those in the battle outside of Orbonne. Gafgarion orders Ramza and Rad to kill them all, and Agrias is more for the holding back approach.

Feion

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

But you don't know if those guys die in the first scene, especially since they have stars above their bodies when they are defeated. I'd go with the fight directly after that.

[Despotus]

Balbanes?

Dies in a flashback within the ch. 1 flashback. His is the first death, chronologically. BG-57?

[BG-57]

You won't find this in any guide. :greenie:

Question: How many life crystals have to appear in a level of Deep Dungeon before their collective glow maximally illuminates that level? :save:

[feioncastor]

Four

[RedCydranth]

You said in a battle or a scene. The first death would be whoever those in the battle outside of Orbonne. Gafgarion orders Ramza and Rad to kill them all, and Agrias is more for the holding back approach.

Feion

He said chronologically, so technically since orbonne fight happens AFTER chapter one in cronological order, you are incorrect. Also they did have stars.

Oops, I didnt see the last two posts. And the answer I believe is four. GJ.

[Despotus]

Yep, it's four crystals. Your turn, Feion. :cool:

[BG-57]

:save: :save: :save: :save: ;)

[feioncastor]

Which Lucavi does Ramza and his crew personally kill?

[BG-57]

Queklain, Velius, Zalera, Adramelk, Altima, Serpentarius (almost forgot him!).

Not Hashmalum, though. He opts for hari-kiri. :eek:

I don't think any other Lucavi make an appearance, unless I'm mistaken. Of course not all the stones are used to possess characters.

[Despotus]

I don't know what to think about Altima's death. If I remember correctly, she (it?) is more or less defeated by Ramza and Co. but then she/it comes back and destroys herself, along with the airship and Ramza's crew...right? So she kinda sorta blows herself up in a last act of destructive malice. :radred: :skull:
I definitely agree that Hashmalum sacrificed himself to resurrect Ajora. He was standing and talking just fine just before he ripped himself apart. :whoa:
And I believe Ramza's Renegades personally, directly, and fully execute, destroy, and slaughter the other 5 (Queklain, Velius, Zalera, Adramelk, and Serpentarius). :chop:

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Ah, but you don't HAVE to kill Serpentarius :D

[feioncastor]

BG-57 got it.

Sorry it took me so long to respond.

[BG-57]

Name a monster that has:

1) One eye.

2) Two eyes.

3) Six eyes.

4) Seven eyes or more.

Obviously, I'm looking for four different answers here. Any monster that matches is fine. :)

[RedCydranth]

One Eye - Ahriman
2 Eyes - Uribo
6 Eyes - Hyudra
8 Eyes - Morbol

What is the only place the Taiju naturally appears?

[Despotus]

One eye: Flotiball, Ariman, Plague
Two eyes: take your pick, but I'll go with Goblin, Black Goblin, Gobbledeguck
Six eyes: Hydra, Hyudra, Tiamat
Seven or more: Morbol, Ochu, Great Morbol
I think these are right, but confirmation would be great. ;)

Hahahaha a tie! I shouldn't have put down all the names and just done one for each! :D

Anyway, I'll take a stab at Red Cydranth's question.
Well, I am sure that they appear in the Deep Dungeon.. so let's try starting each battle to see which enemies appear.
*searching...searching...searching...searching...success!* :D
On Mlapan I found a battle with 6 Woodmen, 2 Trents, and a Taiju! So it must be Mlapan. ;)

Question: Besides those who say, "Damn", which I don't consider to be a curse word, who is the only character to swear in the game? Be careful when answering so that you don't get censored like this: :skull: :skull: :skull: :skull:

[BudSoda02]

I think it's Dycedrag when you defeat him in his Holy Brave form... I'm not 100% sure...
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com

[Despotus]

I think it's Dycedrag when you defeat him in his Holy Brave form... I'm not 100% sure...
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com
Yes, BudSoda, that is correct. Adramelk (Dycedarg's Braves form) exclaims the s-word when he is defeated! :frust:

[feioncastor]

What's the hold up?

Hehehehehe.

[Despotus]

Sheesh, It's been a week already! BudSoda, you better be thinking of a really tough question or something! :p You can ask one, whenever you come back, ok? ;) In the meantime...
Question:
What are 3 ways to get a "Save the Queen" sword? (No item duplicating cheat allowed :nonono: )
Edit: There are more than 3 ways, if you want to name them all... go ahead. But 3 will suffice. :)

[RedCydranth]

1. Deep Dungeon TERMINATE Move-Find-Item
2. Steal from Rofel in the Book Storage
3. Meliadoul owns one

Which is the only Ninja Sword with evasion above 10%?

[BG-57]

Sasuke Knife has an evade of 15%.

Question: What is particularly odd about the descriptions of the Genji Helmet and Genji Armor that is not the case with the Genji Shield and Genji Armlet?

[Despotus]

The colors given in the description are wrong. The G. Armor, G. Helmet, and G. Shield are all described as being 'Black', while only the Shield really is black. The G. Gauntlet's color is described correctly as 'Crimson', which I think would better describe the Armor and Helmet as well. Well...maybe the Helmet should be Crimson and White... :p
Is that what you were thinking, BG?

[BG-57]

You got it! :)

[BudSoda02]

Sorry for the delay I was on vacation & had no access to a computer/net. :( Let's see If I recall correctly. Who is the 13th Zodaic brave/ who posseses the 13th Zodiac stone. Hint: It's in Deep Dungeon. Bonus Question: What's the name of that level/place? Does this satisfy you?
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com

[BG-57]

Serpentarius is the 13th Zodiac Brave.

Elidibs is the proud owner of the Serpentarius stone. He's a legendary wizard from the 50 year war.

END is, appropriately enough, the final level of deep dungeon where you get to meet these guys.

[Despotus]

I believe that's right, BG-57. You go ahead and ask the next one. I'm going to take a pass for now...uggh...can't..think.. :Oo:

[BG-57]

I'm scrounging for questions as well. :greenie:

Question: What does Gafgarion or Orlandu occasionally say when they use the skill Night Sword?

[feioncastor]

Night Sword

[BG-57]

I mean the phrase they sometimes say out loud in a word balloon when using Night Sword.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Isn't it something to the effect of "Master of swords, cut energy, Night Sword!"?

[BG-57]

You are correct. :)

Ask away.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

What jobs can use Axes without the "Equip Axe" ability?

[Black Chocobo]

Geomancer's and Squires

That would be my guess

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Correct. You're up.

[Black Chocobo]

What is the name of the temple where you fight "Worker 7"?

[BudSoda02]

It's Nelveska Temple right? It's on an island just outside of the Ivalice mainland.
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com

[Black Chocobo]

You are correct sir!

You ask the next question

(By the way- I am new to this Fora)

[BG-57]

Welcome aboard! :) Hopefully you will find the experience rewarding.

[Black Chocobo]

Thank you. Hopefully people will start asking more questions...

It looks like this is getting a little slower

[RedCydranth]

Since no one is asking, I'll go ahead. BudSoda, when you get back the question is yours.


The Summon, Golem, absorbs damage from all weapons except which?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

My guess would be weapons that have an element.

[feioncastor]

Yeah, weapons like Glacier gun and stuff.

[RedCydranth]

The elemental guns. Correct.

[feioncastor]

So BTV or me next?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Go ahead Feion, I guessed all elemental weapons while you were more specific.

[Black Chocobo]

I'm ready for the next question.

[BudSoda02]

Who were the two characters thought dead by the church & had fakes who look like them to take their place; so that they could be freed from the church? Hint: One happens at the end of the game.
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com :eek:

[feioncastor]

One of them was Cidofolas Orlandu, and the other was.... I don't know....

[BG-57]

I remember the one involving Cid. Wasn't there an execution of a fake Ovelia? Or am I confusing FFT with the plot of Suikoden II? :D

[feioncastor]

I remember the one involving Cid. Wasn't there an execution of a fake Ovelia? Or am I confusing FFT with the plot of Suikoden II? :D
The fake Ovelia execution at Golgorand Execution Site was to lure Agrias and Ramza into a trap, where Gafgarion awaited them, disguised as the executioner (I'm sure this isn't what you were referring to). I don't believe that anyone was ever actually killed and made to look as though it was Ovelia that died.

But I know Thunder God Cidofolas Orlandu had a look alike killed so that someone would think he was dead.... Who was that someone, by the way, cause I really can't remember off the top of my head....

Feion

[BudSoda02]

You're right BG-57 & no, you didn't confuse the plot with Suikoden III. The only one people remember was about a fifth of the way through the game which Gafarion set a trap for Ramza. Delita had helped the Ovelia escape from that corrupt Priest who turned into a Zodiac Brave Monster & he's also the same Priest who hired Bart Company to kill Mustadio's Dad. Remember. I know this plot's very twisted. (People say VII & VIII are, but they forget Tactics!) So you're up BG-57. I don't know who the Fake Cid was Feion, they (the party) gave him a blessing & said his death wouldn't be a waste. I'm guessing it was one of Cid's most trusted soldiers...
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com

[BG-57]

Grevados, a Glabados priest and advisor to Goltana was the fall guy and Cid's stand-in.

Question: The families of which we meet several members in Tactics (Boeuvle, Hyral, Folles, Gatnana, Bunanza, and Tingel) always lack the same relative. Who always gets left out?

[feioncastor]

The Mommy

[BG-57]

Correct! :)

Even when Balbanes lies on his deathbed, neither the mother of Zalbag and Dycedarg, nor of Ramza or Alma are present. Granted, he may have been a widower twice, but isn't the lack of mothers in any of these families a little preposterous? :rolleyes2

[feioncastor]

Of all the characters in the game, which is most likely to bore you to sleep?

that's kind of an obscure question. If no one figures it out, I'll ask a different one.

Feion

[DocFrance]

Professor Daravon!

Question: What effect does the 'oil' status have?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Fire does double damage.

What attack can inflict either death, petrification, or stop, usually with 100% efficacy?

[DocFrance]

You're wrong, BtV ;)

[BG-57]

It makes you weak to Fire elemental damage.

Apanda's Bio would do that I think.

[DocFrance]

Nope, you're still wrong, BG-57.

[mike without a hat]

I think it makes fire elemental damage do double (against you) but just for one attack. And it might come from one of the ghouls attacks, but im not sure.

[BG-57]

I looked it up in the in-game tutorial. Does it have it wrong?

Grease Touch causes the Oil status, among others.

BTW, the Bio thing is my answer to Behold the Void's question.

[DocFrance]

Hehe, it's a trick question, acutally. Due to a programming error, the oil status actually has no effect at all, despite what its description says.

[Despotus]

Behold the Void, are you referring to that petrifying attack that the Vampire fires out of its tail?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Actually, no, I am not, on either of those, but my question is probably invalidated because the little trick question thing by the sneaky doctor. If you want to keep guessing though, go ahead.

[BG-57]

You mean 'Blaster', Despotus?

Is it Cloud's Limit 'Finishing Touch'?

[feioncastor]

Or perhaps the Malboro's Breath attack.

[Despotus]

You mean 'Blaster', Despotus?
Yeah, that's it. But I don't think it can cause 'Death'.
Maybe it's one of Altima's (Ajora's) attacks? I'll have to go play that battle today to check it out...

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Cloud's Limit Break Finish Touch is correct.

[BG-57]

I'll ask a question anyway since there are no others to answer.

Question: What combination of weapon, armor, helmet, shield and accessory will make a certain character who already looks out of place look even more out of place? There is only one combination. Naming the character is optional.

[Despotus]

Cloud's Materia Blade is a "foreign" sword, and the Genji Helmet, Armor, Shield and Gauntlet are all "foreign" as well. I guess wearing all of those would make Cloud look even more out of place. :joker:

[BG-57]

He sure would. You're up. :)

[Despotus]

Who are the oldest and the youngest human characters in the game?
Two names...
(No Zodiac Braves or Ajora ;) )

[Black Chocobo]

Oldest- The monk who holds the book....Alazlam
Youngest- Teta

[feioncastor]

Orinas is younger than Teta, so there.

Funeral is older than Alazlam, unless you don't count him cause he dies.

Feion

[mike without a hat]

Timeline wise, wouldnt Alazlam be the youngest?(isnt he telling the story and he's way in the future from when the game took place?)
If not then Orinas(age 9).
Oldest would be Funeral(not sure but deff. looks the oldest), or if because he dies then Orlandu(age 64).

[Despotus]

Orinas is younger than Teta, so there.

Funeral is older than Alazlam, unless you don't count him cause he dies.

Feion
That's who I was thinking of. Orinas is just a baby at the start of the game and Funeral is wickedly ancient. I also think Simon is quite old but not as old as Funeral. Your go, Feion. :p

[feioncastor]

What is the fake last name that Ramza takes on in chapter II to hide the fact that he is a Beoulve?

Feion

[BG-57]

Ruglia. He kept his first name though. I guess Ramza's a fairly common name.

Question: Name two lands that lie beyond the borders of Ivalice.

[darkblade117]

ordalia is one.... i don't know the other... wait! there's only one isn't there??! :confused:

[BG-57]

There are seven countries in Ivalice. Anything that isn't one of the seven must lie outside the borders. Two are visible, and Ordalia is one of them. You're halfway there. :greenie:

Look across the water.

[feioncastor]

Birthplace of the cool guns, to the north, the island state of Romanda.

Feion

[darkblade117]

but... but... i thought that was an ivalician...(is that even right?) province... grr... gotta get back fft.... sooo rusty....by the way... i'm uhm... errol... but you can call me darkblade117... i'm new here... obviously... but not in the fft world... been playing since it came out... i stopped cuz my bro told me to trade in my playstation and games for halo 2.... ooops.... i shouldn't be doing this here... :D

[BG-57]

You are correct Feion! Ask away. :)

Welcome to the forums Darkblade117. Hope you find them enjoyable.

To answer your question: the game mentions that Ivalice is made up of seven regions: Fovoham, Lesalia, Lionel, Galionne, Murond, Limberry and Zeltennia. Two other land masses are visible on the map: Ordalia and Romanda. We know very little about either of them. Since the Lion War is essentially a civil war, neither country plays a significant role.

[feioncastor]

I was about to ask a question about the provinces of Ivalice, but I guess not now.

BG, you go ahead and ask. You answered my question before I even asked it. I was gonna ask what the 7 regions of Ivalice were.

[BG-57]

Oops, my bad! :sweat:

Question: Where in the game do you see a 'battlefield' that looks like a giant staircase with a pillar to the right connected by a thin bridge, all composed out of checkerboard tiles of two alternating, constrasting colors? Note the quotation marks.

[darkblade117]

i could be wrong but i think it's Poeskas Lake... there's a pillar there... and uhm... i guess the place looks checkerboard like... i dunno... or is it murond death city?... no wait! it's under... uhm... orbonne monastery... i can't remember :confused:

[feioncastor]

I have a bad feeling like once you tell us or someone figures it out, the rest of us are gonna go "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... Okay." or something...

Feion

[BG-57]

You may be right. :greenie:

I'm not sure how to clarify the question without giving it away. Hmmm...let me put it this way: This is not a battlefield in the conventional sense, like say Mandalia Plains or Bethla Garrison.

[mike without a hat]

I think i know what you're talking about, but i dont know what its called.
Do you fight a zodiac monster guy there?

[BG-57]

No Zodiac monsters in this one. The only characters you see are two oracles, a white mage, a floating squire, and two knights.

[darkblade117]

that's helpful... :confused: ... a floating squire... i don't remember any floating squire... the only enemy i remember floating was that one knight that was hidden in the moat during the battle at the gate of riovanes castle before the battle against weigraf

[BG-57]

Well, Yuguo Woods and Poeskas Lake also has floating (and undead) enemy units, but not squires.

I may have asked a question that's too hard. :sweatdrop

How about this? Your party isn't involved in this 'battle', nor do you control any of the units that appear on the screen. So where in the game can you witness 'battles' without participating?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

You can do that in Tactics :confused:

Crap, I have this major feeling that I'm overlooking something big that will make me feel like a complete moron when you do tell us.

[RedCydranth]

Is it in the tutorial battle? In the tutorial menu? Alazam teaches you more advanced tactics on battling.

Like I said, I lost my copy of FFT a while back and haven't played in a while so this is all from memory.

[BG-57]

You are correct! :D

Specifically it's the 'battle' Daravan uses to explain status ailments.

You're up, RedCydranth.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Which explains much, as I never bothered with the Tutorial :D

[Despotus]

Oooooh, an Evil question that one was... :bow: :evilking:

[BG-57]

Yeah, I had a feeling it would be. :greenie:

What happened to RedCydranth?

[darkblade117]

crystallized or treasure chested? who knows.... ;)

[mike without a hat]

should we skip him? its been like over a week


vote for me! :)

[BG-57]

I'll ask another question while we wait. Don't worry, it's easy. ;)

Question: Generally there are items that only female units can equip(bags, ribbons and perfumes). Name the only exception to this rule.

Bonus Points: The exception is clearly an in-joke. What is it?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Cloud can equip some female items, possibly due to the days he spent as a crossdresser in FFVII

[BG-57]

Correct and Correct! Specifically Ribbons. Pity he can't equip Perfumes as well. :)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

What are Meliadoul and Orlandu unable to break?

[Despotus]

Accessories?

[BG-57]

I thought it was shields.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Incorrect on both of those, actually.

[BG-57]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question here. We are talking about the Mighty Sword skill set that that both Meliadoul and T.G. Cid share, right?

[RedCydranth]

Sorry guys... I went into the hospital (no worries, I'm OK)

Not even close to crystalizaion yet!

I've been skipped, its cool, I'd do the same after someone was presumed treasure chested.

My guess, like I said numerous times, i haven't played cuz i cant find my copy, is Helmet.

I could be wrong.. and prolly am.

[darkblade117]

it's shield.... BG-57 is right... check it in the abilities page.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I never said class-specific. I only asked what can they not break.

[darkblade117]

oh okay.... so i guess it's PA, MA, speed, and uhm...MP. and that's it.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

No.

[RedCydranth]

Okay, Here's Meliadoul and Orlandu's skills:

Meliadoul:

Shellbust Stab Destroys the target's equipped armor.
Blastar Punch Destroys the target's equipped helmet.
Hellcry Punch Destroys the target's equipped weapon.
Icewolf Bite Destroys the target's equipped accessory.

Orlandu:

Stasis Sword Damages with holy sword spirit.
Split Punch Damages with holy sword spirit
Crush Punch Damages with holy sword spirit.
Lightning Stab Damages with holy sword spirit.
Holy Explosion Damages with holy sword spirit.
Shellbust Stab Destroys the target's equipped armor.
Blastar Punch Destroys the target's equipped helmet.
Hellcry Punch Destroys the target's equipped weapon.
Icewolf Bite Destroys the target's equipped accessory.
Dark Sword Absorbs MP with the power of darkness.
Night Sword Absorbs MP with the power of darkness.

And since you say its not class specific Here's the Knight's break abilities:

Head Break Used to destroy item equipped on enemy's head
Armor Break Used to destroy item equipped on enemy's chest
Shield Break Used to destroy equipped shield of enemy
Weapon Break Used to destoy equipped weapon of enemy.
Magic Break Diminishes enemy's MP.
Speed Break Diminishes enemy's speed level.
Power Break Diminishes enemy's attack power.
Mind Break Diminishes enemy's magic attack power.

So, if Meliadoul and/or Orlandu are their original class and are subclassed knights with all abilities they can NOT break someone's brave or faith.

(All info is taken from Job/Ability FAQ on gamefaqs.com)

[Despotus]

They can't break equipment protected by the 'Maintenance' Skill.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Despotus is correct, although RedCydranth's answer is also acceptable. I'll give this to RedCydranth since he was supposed to go anyways.

[RedCydranth]

In lieu of a difficult question, I'll throw a really easy one. How much JP does it cost to learn Fly?

[BG-57]

1200 JP.

Hope you guys like logic puzzles. :D

Question: Since there seems to be a Zodiac Stone for each Zodiac Monster, which stones must Hashmalum and Altima possess?

[mike without a hat]

i think Hashmalum has leo and Altima has... virgo?

[vireblaze]

I know one! What JP does every action ability for a Samurai require?

[Despotus]

You'll have to get a question right before you can ask the next question, vireblaze. ;)

[BG-57]

i think Hashmalum has leo and Altima has... virgo?

Correct! :)

Of course we'll never know which Zodiac Monster has which stone, but your choices are appropriate.

[vireblaze]

Whatever. How am I suppose to answer a question when I'm away, and somebody else answers it, and it's to late for me to answer it?

[mike without a hat]

^The first person to get it right asks the next question so it doesnt really matter. If you're too late and someone gets it right and its confirmed then dont answer that question.


When you first start how many people are in Orbonne Monestary(at first, before anyone else enters) and what are their names?

[Despotus]

There are 3 characters there, Princess Ovelia (kneeling), Simon (the priest standing by her), and Agrias (the knight who pleads with her to leave). Then Gafgarion, Ramza, and Rad come in...

I'm pretty confident of my answer, so I'll ask a question. If I was wrong just disregard this:
Which spell(s) can a 'frogged' enemy cast (if they can cast any spells at all...)?

[mike without a hat]

yeah it was right

[darkblade117]

none... a character in frog status can only move... unless u have counter magic equipped... then it's whatever magic hits you.

[BudSoda02]

Darkblade, I think you're right I'm 90% sure. You might as well go. SAVE THE THREAD!!
-BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com

[Despotus]

nope...there is a spell they can cast ;)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Can they still cast Frog?

[darkblade117]

nope...there is a spell they can cast ;)

ahh poo.... uhm.... then i'm stumped... :confused:

[Despotus]

Can they still cast Frog?
Yes, they can... the bastards! I ran into a black mage (wizard) who knew 'Frog' in the Zeklaus Desert; and every time I 'Frogged' her or one of her allies, the little frog would cast 'Frog' on herself or a frog ally. She was a pain in the a$$, so I ended up turning her into a chicken instead.
The fact that she could cast 'Frog' really surprised me...I think it could be a programming glitch. :p

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Well, as I recall, in FFIV you can still cast Piggy while a Pig and Mini while small and Frog while a Frog, so I can understand it.

Let's see...

Tell me a bit about the real-life legend behind any of the samurai swords in this game. Bonus points for whoever does more than one of the swords.

[Reid]

Holy smokes

[Reid]

I can tell you that the masamune was a real samurai blade, i think Genji used it

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I'm looking for a bit more than that. Anybody else? If it's too hard I can think of another.

[RedCydranth]

To be fair here, This is a FFT question game, and the real life history behind certain swords isn't really about FFT. I know we're getting scrapped for ideas, but lets get creative.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

All right, fair enough. Let me think for a moment...

In the beginning of the first chapter, what are the military ranks of Delita Hyral and Ramza Beoulve?

[Wiegrahf42]

Military Cadet. Or squire. Now if I was wrong disregard this question and I'm sorry if it's already been done. "What is the spell incantation (what the character occasionally says) for Ultima"?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

You're right, and I've never been able to get Ultima or even see it so I have no freakin' clue.

[darkblade117]

oh oh!! i know this one!!
"Brush off vanity and show reality! Ultima!"
blam! i'm pretty sure that's right. okay my question is

which battle map has the highest height square and by how much?
i hope this makes sense to everyone

[BG-57]

I'll guess Nogias, which at it's tallest is 24 vertical units above 0. I suspect there may be a taller one, but I don't know the vertical distance for that one.

[darkblade117]

uhm... sorry. was i suppose to confirm this? cuz i just made the question up, not thinking about the answer... kinda dumb of me that way... but Nogias you say, huh? sounds pretty legit. can someone else confirm this?

[dodhungry]

I checked some areas that might have been higher and none of them were. The only one I could not check is the 2nd battle with Zalmo when he is on that high church. Thats the only other that *might* possibly be close, other than that you are right.

[BG-57]

Dodhungry, did you happen to check Germinas Peak?

Darkblade117, since you asked the question I'll go with whatever decision you make about my answer.

[darkblade117]

budsoda02 just confirmed it. he just played nogias. so ur right, BG-57. ask away. :)

[BG-57]

OK, cool. :)

Question: name two battles where one unit can stand directly above another, even without chocobos. :choc:

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I believe the first is... Riovanes Castle? The Gafgarion fight. I'm not sure about the other one, but I think it's in the battle where you fight all those chemists when going to find Reis.

[darkblade117]

that's possible? well, u guys asked the question so i guess it must be...

[Tigmafuzz]

riovanes castle & the chemist fight
:meatwad:

[Despotus]

In the "Gafgarion fight" where you have to pull a lever to open the gate and let your party join Ramza is at the Gates of Lionel Castle; here a character can be up on the wall with another character underneath on the path through the gates. And Inside Igros Castle, where you fight Dycedarg with help from Zalbag, I believe there is a bridge that you can stand under while another character is on the bridge above...and I'm sure you can be on and under the bridge at Zirekile Falls. Those are the storyline battles that I know of where it is possible.
Then there are the extra missions like Nelveska Temple where you can be on the hill and underneath it inside Worker 7-New's cave. As well as (I think) the first two battles in the Colliery Underground, where some Chemists and Behemoths hide in doorways and caves. Is that all of them? :fpcurious :fphigh:

[BG-57]

It's not all of them, but I only asked for two. Here's the ones I could find:

Fort Zeakden (bridge)
Zirekile Falls (bridge)
Zaland Fort City (archway)
Golgorand Execution Site (archway)
Gates of Lionel Castle (archway)
Underground Book Storage First Floor (doorway)
Yardow Fort City (archway)
Poeskas Lake (bridge)
Gates of Limberry Castle (archway)
Inside Igros Castle (bridge)
Colliary Underground Third Floor (bridge)
Colliary Underground Second Floor (bridge)
Nelveska Temple (cave)

You're up Despotus. :)

[Despotus]

Sorry it took me a day to post...my computer was down. :mad2:
Question: Which common monsters are immune to Earth spells, (include those that absorb Earth magic) I believe there are 9 answers to this query...but I could be wrong! :tongue:

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Oy...

Ghosts, Bombs, and Juravis (or whatever the hell that bird species is called) for sure. I can't think of anything else.

Edit: Oh yeah, Hydra?

[Despotus]

Well, B.T.V., you've got two right...which are the others? :) I'm looking for a list of 9 monsters from 3 monster "families".

[BG-57]

Bomb
Grenade
Explosive

Ghost
Gust
Revenant

Hmm....

Bull Demon
Minotaurus
Sacred

[Despotus]

:confused: "Ghost?"...mmm...never heard of a "ghost" before... :D
And the Tauran family (Bull Demons, Minitauruses, and Sacreds) is quite vulnerable to Earth Elemental attacks. :cry: Looks like you've gotten 5 out of 9. Keep those guesses coming.

[darkblade117]

bomb, grenade, explosive, ghoul, gust, revnant, woodsman, taiju and trent?

[Despotus]

:cool: You got 'em all, Darkblade! Ask away...

[darkblade117]

oh sweet! i didn't know the woodsmen were immune to earth... well i guess they would be since they are trees.... so my question is...
how many other people were in the zeltennia church when delita met with ramza? (was that zeltennia church? i can't remember. it was some church, that i know) so yeah. i want the number of people in the church, not including delita and ramza and the bad guys that comes in later.

[Despotus]

Dryads (Woodmen and the like...) aren't exactly immune to Earth magic. In fact, it heals them. :)

I checked the Brave Story record, 'Delita's Thoughts', where Ramza and Delita have a chat in Zeltennia Church. There are 3 other unnamed parishiners in the church. :meditate: :bow: :angel:

Question: What is the only item in the game that you can buy for 1 gil?

[BG-57]

Faith Rod

Question: name the combination of weapon, armor, helmet and accessory that brings the highest speed boosting to female units without using haste. :hyper:

[RedCydranth]

I can't remember the speed boosting stuff, but if Ramza yells at them 95 times, their speed is maxed out. LOL. Screw Equipment, Yell rocks!

Yesterday I had ramza yell at a Chemist until her speed was like 40, I had her do nothing but accumulate until her atk was 99... she mastered the job in one battle. FFT is so cool.

[darkblade117]

okay here we go... h-bag, thief hat or green berret or flash hat, secret clothes, and either cursed ring or sprint shoes... and since we did that question, which item combinations can give you the highest PA boost without accumulate or scream(or any spells and such for that matter) for any unit? and which class has the highest PA bonus?

[Despotus]

Question: What is the only item in the game that you can buy for 1 gil?

Faith Rod
You can't buy a Faith Rod, can you? The only one I ever found was on Valkyries in the D.D. :p This is a tricky question, keep guessing...

thief hat or green beret or flash hat
It's definitely Thief Hat; it gives a +2 to speed. Green Berets and Flash Hats are only +1. P.S.: Your other items were right. ;)
And as for the PA boost items: (Weapon) Mace of Zeus, (Helmet) Twist Headband, (Armor) Power Sleeve or Robe of Lords, (Accessory) Bracer.
And I believe Monks get the best PA bonus of any class.
I, however, will wait for confirmation and for someone to answer the first question above.

[darkblade117]

yep ur right... ask away

[Despotus]

Question: What is the only item in the game that you can buy for 1 gil?

[BG-57]

A flower from Aeris the flower girl

[RedCydranth]

Aargh! You beat me to it... :(

[Despotus]

You got it BG-57! Your turn to pose a question. :cool:

[BG-57]

Question: Name two shields that look exactly the same.

[RedCydranth]

Eschcuteon and Eschcuteon 2

[BG-57]

Escutcheon and Escutcheon (II) look nothing alike. Your answer, however, is halfway right.

[Despotus]

Escutcheon II looks just like the Gold Shield. I also think the Crystal and Diamond Shields are pretty similar in appearence (Crystal is a little darker).

[RedCydranth]

I knew it was Escutcheon II and something.. I just took a guess with its original form. Like I said, I haven't played that part in some time. I'm getting there though. I'm only in Chapter 2, but I have Ramza and many non major characters quite beefed.

[Despotus]

Question: In the bar scene in Lesalia Imperial Capital, where you get a chance to hire Beowulf, what are the apparent job classes of the other 3 bar patrons that are overheard talking about the Holy Dragon?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

If I recall correctly it was two thieves and a squire, but I may be wrong. I'll have to check.

[Despotus]

You got one of them, Void, two to go...

[BG-57]

If I'm remembering the scene correctly, there was a fiesty White Mage involved. "This isn't a show!" Pity you couldn't recruit her. :(

[Despotus]

Not the right scene. There was no white mage in that particular bar, perhaps she was in the "Cursed Temple Nelveska" bar scene. :fpcurious

[BG-57]

There was some scene where three generic units were arguing about who was the best. That's where the White Mage was featured.

Hmm....

Squire
Knight
Time Mage

[Despotus]

You got the same one right as Behold the Void did (Squire). The other two weren't there.
:rolleyes2 I think maybe this question is too trivial to be worthwhile, so I'll ask...
Which Zodiac stone sets Reis free?

EDIT: By the way, sitting at the table with the Squire were a Monk and an Archer. :tongue:

[RedCydranth]

Well, the demon holding her hostage had the Aquarius stone, but the one that frees her from her dragon form at Nelveska Temple is the Cancer Stone.

[BG-57]

You got the same one right as Behold the Void did (Squire). The other two weren't there.
:rolleyes2 I think maybe this question is too trivial to be worthwhile, so I'll ask...
Which Zodiac stone sets Reis free?

EDIT: By the way, sitting at the table with the Squire were a Monk and an Archer. :tongue:

Aww...I would've gotten it eventually. :greenie:

[RedCydranth]

Since I'm 97% sure of my answer,m I'll post my question. I may not be able to get on my computer for a few days so I'll make it simple.

Besides Mustadio, what other character in the game is an Engineer? And what is their full name?

[BG-57]

Balk...

...

Um, BRB. :laughing:

EDIT: ...Fenzol.

Question: What's so odd about the Colliery Underground Floors considering they are, presumably...underground?

[Despotus]

Ummm... It's snowing??? They're covered in snow! :D That, and they're well lit, unlike the Deep Dungeon. I just imagine it's on account of a snow spell, or like the soap flakes that they used to use in the movies. :lol:
Is that it?

[BG-57]

You are correct! :)

It occured to me after posting this that most likely Colliery Underground Floors are part of an open pit mine shaft. It still looks a little strange.

You're up Despotus.

[Despotus]

According to Ivalician superstition, what do mosfungused corpses foretell? :sad:

[Masamune·1600]

According to the chemist, Mosfungused corpses indicate the final generation of a family.

[Despotus]

You are correct, Masamune! Ask a question.

[Masamune·1600]

Okay.....what enemy is capable of using Flare 2?

[RedCydranth]

Elmdor's evil transformation Zalera i think is the only one who is capable of the mighty flare2.

[Masamune·1600]

Correct! You're up.

[RedCydranth]

What friendly monster has the ability to Blood Suck?

[BG-57]

Vampires (with Monster Skill in use by a nearby unit). :catsmile:

[RedCydranth]

Well done BG-57. Your turn to stump us.

[BG-57]

Question: You have to play through the game at least twice to experience everything. Why is that?

[Despotus]

Well this sounds tricky... or is it just obvious :confused: ... I would guess that at the points in the game where you have to make a choice (Whether or not to save Boco, buy a flower from the flower girl, attack the north or south wall of... was it Bethla Garrison? :rolleyes2, or allow special characters to join your party) you can only choose option 1 or 2, not both. You would have to play twice and make different decisions the second time to experience the game fully.

[BG-57]

It's obviously tricky. ;)

I was thinking of Bethla Garrison's North and South Walls.

Your turn.

[Despotus]

An easy one.
Which status effects change the color of a character, without changing their shape (i.e. not frog or chicken), and what colors do the characters become?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Poison makes them green, oil makes them gray, and berserk makes them red.

[BG-57]

And Undead human units are pink.

[Despotus]

Well I'm not sure who should go next, B.t.V got three out of four, but BG-57 got the all-important fourth one. I guess it should go to whoever completed the list, so BG, that's you! :greenie:

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Damn! I knew I'd forgotten one.

[Despotus]

Actually, I should have asked for status effects that change color or hue because I was also looking for "Transparent" and "Regen"...oops :rolleyes2

[BG-57]

OK.

Question: Name two weapons that it's helpful to be hit with.

[Masamune·1600]

Well, Healing Staff is obviously one of them. If you want to put a character in "Faith", I guess you could include the Faith Rod.

[BG-57]

The Healing Rod is correct.

I'll accept Faith Rod although a faith of 100 is a mixed blessing.

Ask away. :)

[Masamune·1600]

Haha, very true. Okay, let's see....

This one should be relatively easy. What are all of the actual 'job classes' for the Lucavi?

[BG-57]

Not that easy: :greenie:

We never see Cardinal Draclau in combat but I assume he's a Cardinal.
Queklain is an Impure King.


Weisgraf is a White Knight.
Velius is a Warlock.


Elmdor is an Arc Knight.
Zalera is the Angel of Death.


Dycedarg is a Lune Knight.
Aldramelk is the Ghost of Fury I think.


Vormav is a Divine Knight.
Hashmallum is a Regulator.


Alma is a Cleric.
Altima is a Holy Angel/Arch Angel


Elidibs is some kind of high-level Wizard, but we never fight him directly.
Serpentarius is...um, Serpentarius.

[Masamune·1600]

Correct. By the way, you actually gave me even more than I required; I only needed Impure King, Warlock, etc., and not the job classes of the hosts. Good work, though.

BG-57, you're up!

[BG-57]

Not knowing which forms of the Lucavi you wanted made it trickier than you perhaps intended. :greenie:

Question: You can complete every subquest and get every character and rare item and still completely avoid one of the locations on the world map. Where and what is this place?

[RedCydranth]

I believe it is Dolbodar Swamp.

[BG-57]

Correct! :)

Bervenia Volcano is the other avoidable location with no boss fights, but it's also the location of the Materia Blade.

Ask away.

[RedCydranth]

What does the ability Odd Soundwave do? And who has it?

[darkblade117]

hmm... if i remember correctly, odd soundwave causes dispell.. so any cool thing u have on you like, regen for example... gone. and it comes from the monster squidlarkin...

this is a bit of a cheat, a flaw actually, in the game that let's you duplicate weapons. and here is my question, how do you go about doing this duplicate cheat, and what weapons can you duplicate?

[BG-57]

Have a character in a class that can equip the weapon you want to duplicate (for example, Knight to duplicate Knight Swords) and shields, then equip Two Swords on them. Then put the weapon you want to duplicate and a shield in the 'wrong' hands (weapon in the left and shield in the right), then go to a shop and choose the Best Fit option. The character should now appear with two copies of that weapon in their hands (so one is new). Agree to pay the price and leave the shop. Repeat as necessary.

I know for sure it works with Knight Swords, maybe Swords as well.

[Despotus]

I think you can duplicate any one-handed weapon that is more expensive and more powerful than the weapons of the same class for sale at that shop. So, you can't duplicate inexpensive weapons like Mace of Zeus or Nagrarock.

[BG-57]

The weapon selection seems more limited than that even. You can't equip shields in most classes and you can't equip Two Swords and Equip Shield at the same time. You need to be able to equip both the weapon and a shield at the same time.

Also, I've tried (and failed) to get copies of the best Katanas using Orlandu (who can equip Katanas and shields as a Holy Swordsman).

[vireblaze]

Don't forget that the weapon power has to be weaker than the weapon you want to duplicate.

[Despotus]

It's been 5 days since Darkblade last logged on to the site. Anybody want to ask a question while we're waiting? :confused: Go ahead if you've got one...

And, of course, let us know who got the question right when you get 'Phoenix Down'-ed, D.B.117 :p

[vireblaze]

How about...What is the only place that you don't fight?

[conan]

dolbodar swamp, or the volcano. there are two places. am i correct?

[RedCydranth]

No, you can fight there. Its optional but you fight there...

I don't remember fighting in Warjilis Trade City. But I could be WAY wrong.

[conan]

i thought of that right after i posted the wrong answer, but i had already signed off, eh... yea man, if that answers not right i dont know what is. when its a red dot, you go there and its a cut scene with delita talking to you as you get off the boat

[Despotus]

I don't remember fighting in Warjilis Trade City.
I also believe that's the right answer. There's never a fight in Warjilis. ;)

[darkblade117]

oh my... it's been that long... uhm... BG-57 got it right.. but go ahead with ur guys stuff...

[vireblaze]

I do believe thats right. I thought it was Zarghidas (Bleh! Can't spell it.) Trade City, but I always mix them up.

[BG-57]

Question: In the course of the game you can get a helmet, a spear, two guns, and two swords that cannot be used. Name them.
