Final Fantasy Tactics Trivia!

[Masamune·1600]

The helmet is the Parade Helmet, the spear is the Longibunne Spear, the two guns are the Magical Gun and M Machinegun, and the two swords are likely the Magi-Sword and the Excalipar (although one could claim the Zeni-Sword as well, I suppose). All are Proposition treasures.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I must add that some of those weapons looked cool and I was rather annoyed when I couldn't use them.

[BG-57]

Correct! Ask away. :)

BTW, I agree about the Treasures. Nothing bothers me more than getting an item that does nothing. And how come you can't actually visit the unexplored lands you uncover?

[Masamune·1600]

Here's an easy one.

How many versions of Ultima exist in the game?

[BG-57]

I dread your easy questions Masamune1600. :sweat:

Strictly speaking, there are two versions:

1) Ultima Demons are powerful enemy monsters that you can encounter in Limberry Castle and Murond Chapel.

2) Ultima is a powerful spell that Ultima Demons and Assassins like to cast and Ramza can learn if he gets hit with it.

However...

There are some varients of Ultima present in other spells the Ultima Demons know, like Ulmaguest.

Also Altima is an alternate translation of the same word that gives us Ultima. So maybe Altima is intended to be FFT's answer to the Ultimate Weapon.

[Masamune·1600]

Sorry....allow me to clarify.

How many forms of the spell Ultima exist in the game? You don't need to include Ultima Demons or either form of Altima, just the spell(s).

On a side note, I always thought Ulmaguest was a poor translation of 'Almagest', a mathematical work whose name appeared as an attack of Neo Ex-Death's in FFV.

Hope that removes any ambiguity. ;)

[BG-57]

I'm pretty sure that the Ultima cast by the Assassins, the Ultima Demons and Ramza are the same spell with the same spell effect. That's one.

Something's nagging me though. I don't remember the boss monsters' spells very well. Does one of the Zodiac Monsters cast a souped up version of Ultima?

[Masamune·1600]

Actually, no. While the Ultima used by Assassins, Ultima Demons, and Ramza's specialized Squire class is one and the same, that particular Ultima is not the only one in the game.

You're certainly right as to your second point, though; looking to the Lucavi might turn up additional forms of the spell.

[BG-57]

Is it Altima?

[Masamune·1600]

Altima (both forms) is the correct Lucavi to look to, as far as the riddle goes. The question remains, but I think you're closing in on it.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Is the Ultima that Altima and Alma use different from the one Ramza and the others use?

[Masamune·1600]

Alma's Ultima is the same as Ramza's. Altima's is not (there's something here I don't want to say, though). I think you may have it, but there's one more thing that needs to be said.

[BG-57]

Two versions of Ultima.

And how is this an easy question? :greenie:

[Masamune·1600]

Apparently it's not, because two is not the answer.

Strangely, I thought this was the easiest question I had asked, but it has turned out to be the hardest. The question I had thought was hardest was answered on the first guess. Well, I think I'll stop attaching descriptions of difficulty to my questions. So, anyway, good luck with this challenge.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I'm not quite sure what you want. Could you rephrase the question as concisely as possible?

[Masamune·1600]

My apologies for any confusion or ambiguity.

___ (number) of forms of Ultima are cast in the game. Just what is this number? Ulmaguest is not a form of Ultima.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Which is 2.

[Masamune·1600]

A form of Ultima, as I see it, is defined thusly:

"Ultima" is the name of the spell, or a significant part of the name of the spell. It is a non-elemental magic attack.

A form of Ultima has a different overall effect than another form.

Reconsider both stages of Altima. Sorry if this still seems unclear, but I'm on the verge of stating the answer outright (and I don't want to do that :)). I'm sorry that this question has caused so many problems; I really didn't think it would when I initially asked it, but I can see how it can interpreted in a number of different ways. In any case, you're all close. I think the next guess will probably get it.

[BG-57]

I'm giving up if I get this wrong. :mad:

Three versions of Ultima:

Ultima 1: cast by Ramza, Celia, Lede, and Ultima Demons.

Ultima 2: Cast by Altima.

Ultima 3: Cast by Bloody Angel

[Masamune·1600]

Don't worry; three is correct! The version used by Assassins/Ultima Demons/Ramza/Alma is called Ultima, and is not particularly strong. Holy Angel Altima has a spell also called Ultima, but is apparently stronger and has a larger blast radius. Arch Angel Altima has All-Ultima, which is very strong and has a larger blast radius still.

BG-57, you're up!

[BG-57]

Question: What are three examples of anacronistic technology in Tactics?

That is, mechanisms that exist today that would not have really existed in a Medieval period. I'm not counting spells though, since that's not technology.

[TurkSlayer]

Guns, trains and airships. However, Airships were destroyed a long time ago in the game, but does it still count?

[BG-57]

I'll count it.

Other answers could include robots and some of the machines unearthed in Goug Machine City.

Ask away. :)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Damn, I always miss my chance to answer the question. Bloody school.

Isn't the basic explanation for those technologies supposed to be that Tactics occurs after the collapse of civilization, and all the technology found under Goug and whatnot is from the ancient, advanced civilization.

[TurkSlayer]

I suck at this. Mine are always to easy. I'm just good at answering.

What is the name of Prince Goltana's aide who is killed by Delita for betrayal? PS: His name is not on the character list in the game)

[Masamune·1600]

Gelwan.

[darkblade117]

daaaamn! ur good!

[TurkSlayer]

Gelwan.

But... Wha... WHY!!!!!???! I'm come up with one thats not so bad, and you get it! Oh well, yeah, your right.

[Masamune·1600]

Name the noble who has nothing but trouble when it comes to doors.

[BG-57]

It's Ramza, isn't it?

Considering:

1) He has to take on Gafgarion one-on-one, unless he can get the darn Lionel Castle gates open.

2) He has to open up the sluice gates in Bethla Garrison to stop the battle raging below. And only he can trigger the switches.

[Masamune·1600]

You're probably not going to be happy, but the question involves someone else. This person is in no sense a main character, but should not be difficult to identify once you realize what exactly I'm asking for.

I'd be "delighted" if the above statement makes sense to anyone.

[BG-57]

I'll need some clarification:

By 'door' you mean wood paneled structures that connect adjacent rooms?

By 'nothing but trouble' do you mean this character encounters difficulties with doors on more than one occasion?

[Masamune·1600]

The door(s) in question might be a litle more than wood paneled.

Yes, this character encounters difficulty with doors more than once.

"Delighted" was a hint.

[Despotus]

It's Count Minimum, of Dorter Tr. City. He has a heck of a bad time with the "Assault Door", and the door to his safe... See the Minimum's Melancholy propositions. ;)

I'm pretty sure that was the Noble you were looking for, Masamune, so I'll go ahead and ask an easy one.
Which monsters have attacks that will effect multiple opponents. (Just to keep it easy, let's not include the 'Monster Skill'-aided hidden abilities.) :cool:

[Masamune·1600]

Delighted Count Minimum!

Despotus, you're up.

[Despotus]

Ooops you caught me while I was editing... see question above! :p

[mike without a hat]

those tiamat things?(dont know if thats spelled right) with 3 heads

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Goblins have Spin Fist, Tiamats have the breath attack, and I believe the tree people have a few spells with area of effect.

[Despotus]

There are more. I guess I'll narrow the field a little and give this one to the first person to name 5 monsters from different monster classes that can effect multiple opponents in a single attack.(Remember, no 'Monster Skill' hidden abilities!)

[Llanowar]

Goblins, black chocobos, tiamats, bombs. Cant think of another one.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Let's see... given all of that it'd be Goblins (Spin Fist), Bombs (Explosion), Chocobos (Choco Cure), Tiamats (the breath attack), and... I still think the tree people have area effect spells, but if they don't, then Ahrimans (The Death Roulette attack).

[BG-57]

Turn Punch (Black Goblin)
Self Destruct (Bomb)
Spark (Grenades)
Ice Bracelet (Blue Dragon)
Thunder Bracelet (Red Dragon)
Leaf Dance (Woodman)
Wave Around (Minitaurus)
Mimic Titan (Sacred)
Triple Attack (Hydra)
Triple Flame (Hydra)
Triple Thunder (Tiamat)
Triple Bacelet (Tiamat)
Feather Bomb (?) (Cocatoris)

EDIT: I didn't count Choco Cure as an attack since it cures.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Do the bracelets count? I thought they could only hit one person, they just had a range of two, like a spear.

[Despotus]

I'll give it to BG-57, because he got at least 5 attacks from different monster families. However, BTV has a point that the "Bracelet" attacks by Red and Blue Dragons will only hit the person in front. And, the Cocatorice only effects a single panel with the Feather Bomb. So you get it for the Bomb family, Black Goblin, Tiamat family, Woodman, and the two Tauruses you mentioned.
BTV would have gotten it, but I agree with BG-57 that Choco Cure is not an attack. If I had said "...multiple opponents with a single action", :rolleyes2 ...
And no one mentioned Odd Soundwave and (I think) Mind Blast by Pisco Demons and Mind Flares.

[BG-57]

Bracelets only hit one opponent? My bad.

Question: In which cities do you encounter the same thief several times over the course of the game?

[Masamune·1600]

I assume you're referring to Phantom Thief Zero, in which case related propositions are available in Lesalia Imperial Capital and Igros, Lionel, and Zeltennia Castles.

[darkblade117]

uh oh... the questions are becoming about the prepositions.... the next set of questions are gonna be tough....

[BG-57]

Missed one.

[Despotus]

Thief Zero's Last Stand was a proposition at Limberry Castle. The other places, Masamune said.

What was the name of St. Ajora's very first disciple?

[Jolts]

Um...I don't know...Carl?

[Masamune·1600]

I knew I was forgetting one. :mad:

In any case, Ajora's first disciple was Bariaus, a fact that can be learned from the descriptions of Bariaus Valley and Hill.

[Despotus]

Yeah! That's his name. Go Masamune!

Welcome Back, Jolts! Haven't seen you in here in a while... :p

[Masamune·1600]

Let's see....

What was the name of the man, killed by Delita, who impersonated Orlandu?

[TurkSlayer]

What the heck, masamune!? How can you ask people a question like this!? Does it ever even say his name!? What is wrong with you man! How is anyone going to get this one!

BTW, his name was Grenados. :D :D :D :p :tongue:

[Masamune·1600]

You're up.

[Jolts]

Yeah! That's his name. Go Masamune!

Welcome Back, Jolts! Haven't seen you in here in a while... :p
Thanks, good to be back. If only I could stay...I probably won't be back for a while after tomorrow. We don't have internet at our new house yet, so I have to use my friend's, and I can only do that every once in a blue moon :(.

And so I'm not spamming (and I don't get the chance to be here much anymore), I'm gonna' ask the simplest of simple questions (maybe not that simple for people who don't remember...). You can answer if you want, but since it's not really my turn, it won't really matter.

What level does Cloud start out at?

[Masamune·1600]

Cloud starts at Level 1, regardless of the levels of the other characters. TurkSlayer, you're still up. :)

[TurkSlayer]

Sorry I didn't reply for awhile, I was busy.

Anyway, what is the only way to get Cloud's name and bio on the character list. (I forgot whats really called. History, I think.)

Its not great, but its all I've got.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Getting the Materia Blade I imagine. Unless you just have to get him on your party.

[Despotus]

Actually, I think you have to get him in your party and then dismiss him. Only after he has been removed from your party will his bio show up in the 'Character History'. (I think... :confused: I haven't actually tried it out, but I remember hearing this somewhere.)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

That actually does make sense, I was thinking of saying it but I didn't. Damn.

[TurkSlayer]

Despotus is correct.

[Despotus]

Multiple choice question.
The status effect "Silence" will limit the abilities of which of the following job classes?:
A) Calculator
B) Mediator
C) Bard
D) A and B
E) A and C
F) B and C
G) All of the above

[BG-57]

F) B and C

[Despotus]

Close, but... nope :choc2:

[BudSoda02]

It's G) all of the above.
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com p.s.- It's my b-day today! I'm turning 17 today! My birthdate is 04/27/88 @ 4:35 pm! Wahoo!!! :D

[Despotus]

Happy B-Day, BudSoda!! Wish I had some better news for you, though. Your guess is also incorrect. But, don't let it spoil your celebration! :happybday :greenking

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

C) Bard

[Despotus]

*shakes head* Nopers.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

E) A and C

[Despotus]

:nonono:

[BG-57]

I could have sworn that silence will affect both Talk Skill and Sing.

Hmm....

B) Mediator

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

A) Calculator

[mike without a hat]

D a and b

[Despotus]

Well, you've guessed every option, so someone must have gotten it. :D And the prize goes to.... BG-57 for guessing "B) Mediator"! :D Surprisingly enough, a Bard and a Calculator can still cast their respective spells while under the effect of "Silence". Your go, BG!

[BG-57]

Question: Name the characters that are listed under 'Brave Story' that you never actually meet in the course of the game in either battles or cutscenes.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

That would be Daravon.

[BG-57]

He's one of several. Keep going. :greenie:

[Vod]

I think he's mentioned but one person you never actually see or meet is that one baby king prince whatever guy, or any queens I think

[BG-57]

Orianas and Ruvelia? Correct on both counts. One more though. :greenie:

[Despotus]

:yellowkin King Omdoria (Omdolia?) Atkascha is never seen either, maybe cause he's dead... :skull:
So...the royals Omdoria, Ruvelia, and little Orinas.
We get some guidance from Daravon in the Tutorial, so I would say he does appear in the game in a matter of speaking.
I was also wondering about Alazlam, though he does narrate the 'Brave Story'.
And did we ever really meet the "real" Princess Ovelia?? :shifty:

[BG-57]

Correct! Your turn Despotus. :)

[Despotus]

:joey: Most people know about Cloud's crossdressing habit.
That boy just :love:s to tie his hair back with pretty ribbons.
Q: But when will he absolutely refuse to wear one? :monkey:

[BG-57]

At a guess, if you change him to a Mime.

[Despotus]

You're the Bomb( :joker: ), BG! I hope you haven't run out of ideas for questions yet...'cause you're up again! :up:

[BG-57]

You're the Bomb( :joker: ), BG! I hope you haven't run out of ideas for questions yet...'cause you're up again! :up:

Heh heh. I've still got a few unasked and possibly unanswerable questions. :D

Question: This one's a bit morbid. :skull: When units die they usually emit a 'death cry' sound. How many kinds are there?

[Vod]

lets see, theres the monster growling, the high pitched lady one, I think there are 2 cries for guys 1 low and one higher...and there might be another one for girls so I'm gonna say either...

4 or 5 (am I allowed to do that? make 2 guesses at once?)

[BG-57]

You listed all the ones I know. So go ahead and ask a question. :)

[Vod]

yay I got one right...ok let me see

every type of monster has 3 stages, name all 3 stages of all types of monsters (no need to name monsters like Byblos or Reis or Worker8)

[BG-57]

All of them?

Hmm....

Red Panther
Cuar
Vampire

Ghoul
Ghost
Revnant

Goblin
Black Goblin
Gobbledeguk

Bomb (Somebody set up us the bomb!) ;)
Grenade
Explosive

Flotiball
Ahriman

[Vod]

sounds about right, go ahead

[BG-57]

Question: What are three nicknames that some characters are known by?

[Lich3636]

T.G Cid : Cidolfas Orlandu
Wepon King:Gelkanis Barinten
Magic Fencer: Dycedarg Beoulve
Silver noble/ Silver ogre: Mesdoram Elmdor
Duke of the black Lions: Druksmald, Goltana

Thats all I can think of

[BG-57]

More than I asked for really. :greenie:

You're next Lich3636! :)

[Lich3636]

ok name all the zodiac bosses and there jobs before and after they morph (hint only one never lists there job before they change but you can probably guess what it would be)

[BG-57]

This is similar to a question I got right before. Hopefully, I'm still right. ;)



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.

[Lich3636]

I guess I should have read all the Questions :p o well your go

[BG-57]

Question: Name an item you can only get by poaching allied monsters.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Ribbon or FS Bag.

[BG-57]

Correct! You never encounter Wild Boars in battle. You have to recruit a Porky or Uribo and breed from them.

Your turn. :)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Yes! Finally!

Is it possible to continue to raise a character's stats permanently after they reach the 99th level, and if so how is it done? (note this applies to all stats and I'm looking for all methods).

[JFA_bobguy]

Only method I can think of:

Raising Brave/Faith during battle by use of skills such as Cheer Up, Scream, Praise, Preach (or whatever the Mediator skill is called where you increase Faith).

[Lich3636]

its useing brave and faith upping powers and useing a delving trap

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Brave and Faith yes, there are more methods, however.

[BG-57]

Equipping a Faith Rod?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Currently we have skills and items that raise brave and faith and the delving trap, there's something else I'm looking for.

[BG-57]

Brave Up and Face Up? :D

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

All right, let's see if rephrasing it will change the meaning.

"After having reached level 99, is there any way to raise a character's stats beyond what they were when level 99 was reached?"

[Masamune·1600]

It seems like you're looking for the stat-maxing method of leveling down on traps with jobs that have low level bonuses, and then leveling back up with jobs that have superior level-up bonuses.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Yes, but there's one more way to do it that doesn't involve traps.

[BudSoda02]

Besides using a gameshark... I can't think of any other way to do that. I don't know of a non cheating method besides the traps.
THanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

You guys are on the right track. Traps aren't the only way to get things done.

[BG-57]

Knight abilities?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

No. You guys were on the right track with what the trap does, but there's another way to do it.

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

There is a Monster in the Squid Man Class that has an Ability that Lowers character Lvl.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Yes, you're up Nakor.

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

AHHH!!!!

Ok i havn't read the whole thread so if this was a question before then... whoever answers it can still take over after me.

If you use the Squire Ability "Monster Skill" and get Close to a Tiamat What Skill does the Tiamat Gain?

[BG-57]

Dark Whisper.

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

yep yep, your Question :D

[BG-57]

Question: Although it's quite common to portray multi-headed monsters with distinct personalities for each head, this is not the case in Ivalice. Why not?

[Lich3636]

hyudra(or whatever) all the heads are single minded and are simple beasts that have no peronality

[BG-57]

Correct! It says in the description of Hyrudras, Hydras and Tiamats that the three heads share the same mind.

You're up Lich3636! :)

[Lich3636]

list the job and name of every specific monster that joins you (srry for not posting sooner snd srry this one is pretty simple)

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Are you talking about monsters that join you in the storyline? That's Boco the Chocobo and Byblos the Byblos.

[Lich3636]

wrong theres 2 more monsters that join im talking about monsters that join you (you dont need the mediator skill and I dont count the ones that sometimes appear during random encounters)

[Tatics Master]

Boco the Chocobo
Byblos the Byblos
Reis the Holy Dragon
Worker 8 the Steel Giant
:)

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

hes right.

thats all 4.

your question.

[Khimbar]

What about Beowulf and Cloud? you dont invite them... Also T.G. Cid, or are you referring to actual monsters? well if so, Reis is only a technacality, because she is truly human in essence, but thats just a technacality....

[feioncastor]

I believe that Byblos joins after Deep Dungeon, and I know Reis and Worker 8 join during the Cloud subquest.

You can start a New Game and defeat Altima without ever encountering any of those three people. The question was worded poorly.

You have to encounter Boco, but having him join the group is an option.

[Tatics Master]

Ok, I was just answering the question. I didn't know I had to give one to. lol! I don't know if this has been asked before so I'll just keep it easy and keep it going.

What is the name of the Steel Giant at Nelveska Temple.
::Jeopardy music playing:: :)

[Khimbar]

Worker 7 & mind you, not 8 like the one in your freakin party!

[Tatics Master]

That is correct.
In some versions of the game when it first came out his name was Worker 7*New! Hmmmmmmmmm
Interesting. :)
Your go Khimbar!

[Khimbar]

well, if anybody knows, list in order the Zodiac stones you recieve (if anybody knows that w/o looking it up, I bow my cap to you) but on a more controllable level... How many battles must you go through until you get to Rat's Den (not including it?)

[BG-57]

You mean Cellar of the Sand Mouse? You have to fight at least five battles before you get to it: Orbonne Monastary, Magic City Gariland, Mandalia Plains, Sweegy Woods, and Slums of Dorter.

[Khimbar]

nope, but quite close

[BudSoda02]

There's six I think: Orbonne Monestary, Magic City Gariland, Mandalia Plains, a random battle at Mandalia Plains after coming back from the castle (I can't remember the cities name.) [I don't think that the random battle at Mandalia is avoidable, I haven't ever been able to go through without a random battle.], Sweegy Woods, & The Slums of Dorter.
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com

[Khimbar]

yup, thsts it, sorry BG-57, but you forgot the other battle at Mandalia Plains... Your turn BudSoda02

[BudSoda02]

Here's an easy one, who does Algus shoot at Fort Zeadken and why. Also a bonus question: who's holding the person he shoots? (A bit harder.)
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com p.s Sorry for being so late w/ the post! (Memorial day weekend.)

[BG-57]

Algus shoots Teta at Zalbag's order, because they want to finish off the Death Corps and she's in the way. Since she's a commoner, she's considered expendable.

Isn't it Golagros who holds her hostage?

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

all i can say is OMG why would anyone know the name of the dude who holds her? ROFL!!! Thats like knowing the name of the namless soldier who dies in a movie. or the new namless guy who dies in every episode of Star Trek.

[BG-57]

I know that one too.

It's a Mr. Red Shirt. ;)

[Khimbar]

hehe, actually, he appeared in about 6 different scenes of FFT, so i would only be mildly suprised if someone knew his name....

[RedCydranth]

I knew that... And seeing as this is a final fantasy site, I'm not surprised at all. Especially if you've been here a while, you'll soon see that we aren't stuped so easily. BG-57, Behold The Void and feion are FFT masters. I'd love to include myself in that list seeing as I've beaten the game front to end at least 12 times, but I can't prove it since I'm not on the site as much as I'd like to be. Or if I am I'm in the other forums...

Anyhow, a trivia question like "who's holds Teta when she's shot?" is like asking what is the capital of the USA to someone who LIVES in D.C.

(Actually I'll wager there are people living there who don't know that.)

[BG-57]

Aw gee, that's very nice of you to say. :grinpink: Thanks!

For what it's worth, I'd include you in the list (I'd add in Despotus as well).

BudSoda02 sent a PM confirming my answer so here goes:

Question: Most generic monsters are very taciturn (they say '...' if you click on their icons), but you do get some glimpse of the monster vocabulary in a few instances. Give two examples of monster languages.

[Lich3636]

well you can get 2 in the same battle in the "goblins forest" arguary woods or something the party finds a pack of goblins conversing around boco where all there words start with a G and boco (all chocobos realy) seems to speak with a wark plus if you think about it you can count all the zodiac bosses because they are monsters and you can count Sinogue and worker 7 who both talk. also i dont remember because its been a while but dosent byblos say something too?

[BG-57]

Worker 8, Worker 7 New, and Sinogue all speak the human language of Ivalice.

Byblos says absolutely nothing and in fact joins the party with no explaination. He just shows up on your side as a guest when you take on Elidibs.

You are correct on Boco's dialogue. Could you be more specific about the goblinspeak?

[Lich3636]

yea I had a brain fart moment there plus the everything there was nongeneric other than boco and the goblins

btw the goblins speak like this "Gob, gob Gobgobgob!" i think thats exactly what the black goblin says

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

*sighs at not being noticed as a FFT master*

*points at Join Date*

*searches FFT forum from 3 years ago.... ohh look, me helping people.*

ohh well my absence from EoFF has caused me to
have to earn my Title all over again, W00t!

ROFLOL

anyways, yah im not the best at trivia but im proud to say I have not gone more than 3 months at a time in the last 3 years without playing FFT.

In fact I played 2 days ago, and probly will tonight.

[BG-57]

You are correct Lich3636. Your turn! :)

Kind of reminds me of Pokemon where the monsters speak variations on their name.

Nakor, I wasn't intending to cast aspersions on your dedication to Tactics. It's nice to know fellow fans of the game since we're few and far between. :greenie:

[mike without a hat]

Argh! I always seem to come in here between questions :(

[Lich3636]

ok who are all the characters Weigraf (i think thats the spelling) points his sword against in chapter 1

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

ohh, good question...

Damnit... i know 2 of them... id have to replay chap 1 to be sure though.

Bah Im the suxors at Trivia!

P.S. Don't worry I didn't take offence to not being noticed, its not like ive been posting here very often lately.

[Despotus]

:D Thanks for the kind words, BG-57. :D

Wiegraf points his sword at that poor guy, Fencer, who later gets a kicking from Algus. Later W. "points" his sword right through Gustav's chest. And he motions with his sword toward the Silver Noble/Ogre, Marquis Elmdor, and says Ramza and Co. can have him back if they'll let W. get away. I'm pretty sure he also points it at Ramza and Delita after he hears of their involvement in Miluda's death. Any one else??

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I think Despotus got them all.

And thanks for the compliment RedCydranth :love:

[Lich3636]

nope you got them all Despotus your up

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

so how long do you guys usually wait before someone else takes over the question when someone doesnt come back?

Cuz im not sure if hes commin back anytime soon.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

We generally wait about three to five days.

[RedCydranth]

Yeah, thats the big thing... I forget to come back and check, and when I do, someones already answered it.

And Despotus, I feel like a heel because I totally forgot to include you in my little list of FFT masters. You definitely deserve your props.

Me -> :chop: <- Despotus

[Despotus]

And Despotus, I feel like a heel because I totally forgot to include you in my little list of FFT masters. You definitely deserve your props.

Me -> :chop: <- Despotus

:ty: Naaah, you keep your head R.C. :bgl: You'll need it for this next question. Sorry gang, but it might require a little math. :crying2:

What's the minimum number of battles Ramza would have to fight (solo or with only monsters in his party) in order to become a mime? :hourglas:
Bonus points if you can tell me which jobs he would not necessarily have access to when he finally becomes a mime. :cookie:

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I'm going to arbitrarily rule that it is impossible to keep your enemies alive long enough in the first battle for you to raise your JP to inordinately high levels. Thus, if done correctly (and with some luck as far as beginning stats and abilities), it would require:

1 Opening battle
1 as Squire
1 as Knight
1 as Monk
1 as Geomancer
1 as Archer
1 as Thief
1 as Lancer
1 as Chemist
1 as Wizard
1 as Priest
1 as Time Mage
1 as Oracle
1 as Summoner
1 as Mediator

So 15 battles.

Alternately you might rule that you really can't start power leveling until after the first three battles because of the guests, so you could say 17 battles.

[Despotus]

Yea! You Go 'Void! Sorry you didn't get the bonus cookie, though :(

But you should get something for the speediness of your answer, so here's... Nibbles... :nibbles:

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I didn't want to list the extra jobs because I'm lazy.

And as far as the question is concerned...

What Monk skills (if any) have an extra "incantation" that is occassionally said when the skill is used, and what is the incantation?

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

see thats the kind of trivia i suck at.

I only USE like 3-4 Monk skills regularly, and also I NEVER read the little box thingy for any skill for any job..... Damnit!

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

If you think this is bad wait until they get into the proposition trivia.

[RedCydranth]

I'll take the bonus points... He won't neccessarily (if ONLY minimum requirements obtained) be able to become a Ninja, Samurai, Calculator and of course Dancer. Oh, heres the answer to the monk question.

Wave Fist - Burning anger rising.... Burst! Wave Fist!
Repeating Fist - Fight for justice...fists of fury! Repeated Fist!

Those are the only two I ever got. I loved those quotes so much.. i made it a point to memorize my favorite spells... my favorite ability/spell quote was "Layer upon layer, make your mark now! Haste!"

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

lol, yah i dont read those either, i just look at the days and the reward.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I've only ever gotten those as well, RedCydranth, so you're up.

[RedCydranth]

What is the ONLY way to recieve exp and jp from a dead body?
Remember the body is dead before the character's turn and after.

This will show who knows FFT!!

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

umm, if you raise someone whos dead you get exp and jp.

or use a phenix down.

or monk Revive skill.

I doubt its what you mean though.

[Despotus]

What is the ONLY way to recieve exp and jp from a dead body?
Remember the body is dead before the character's turn and after.

If the body has to be dead before the character's turn and also be dead after their turn, the only thing that I can think of is having a dead character with Chantage or an Angel Ring (or basically the Reraise status) commit suicide on his/her turn. She wakes up at the beginning of her turn, casts a one round spell or whatever on herself and dies. Jp and Exp should be awarded for a successful hit. I can't think of another way. :confused:

[RedCydranth]

Despotus, if you kill yourself you never receive the award. I have a feeling you are misinterpreting my words. Ok, Person A and Person B....

Person A is dead, Its person B's turn. How does person b get experience from Person A's body? Remember person A must be dead after person B's turn.

Hint: its a 4 step process.

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

ohhh... i get the question...

ok this is my closest idea...

Person A has Undead Status on them while dead, from a ring or whatever, then person B Casts Death on Person A, which makes them alive because of undead. Person A has Heal-HP reaction ability equiped and because they are now critical uses it, but because of undead status it kills them.

yah im not sure if thats right, or even if it works... If no one gets it then tell us the answer plz

[RedCydranth]

Does cating death on an undead "dead" unit make them arise? If so, thats news to me.

Ok, another hint. It has nothing to do with reviving the dead guy.

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

then i dont know how you get exp, cuz i cant think of any abilities that work on dead ppl but dont raise them...

im interested to know though :D

All i know is if you Cast Death on an Undead Unit it Compleatly Fills their HP, so i thought Maybey it would raise them... Never tried it though.

[Eternal Dark Night]

You know they should really make a pheonix down for well undead units.

[RedCydranth]

It would be like Zombie Blood or something.... anyhow, I'm gonna give this question until tomorrow at this time (11:30 PM EST)

Here's the question again. What action can be performed on a dead character and still get the JP/Exp, without raising him? How is it done?

There, I reworded it better than my previous wording.

Hints: A certain status effect is needed, The dead person must be dead before and after the action.

[Despotus]

Just a couple of wild guesses here, unfortunately, I don't have my game right now so I can't test these theories. Let me know if I'm close. ;)
1. Maybe a dead body with the Reflect status can still reflect spells directed at it? (really doubt this one though) So the spell bounces off and hits a nearby unit?

2. Or maybe you can 'Float' a dead body?

3. I'm also wondering if Damage Split would be triggered if you hit a dead character who has that reaction ability. In that case, the caster would take half of the intended damage and thus receive exp and jp.

Like I said these are unverifiable guesses for me right now. :rolleyes2

[RedCydranth]

Dead guys do not have the reflect ability while dead, if you have reflect mail and you die, the reflect is not in effect until you get raised.

If you cast float on a dead person it won't float. I think if you are floating when you die, you can float dead (like Bombs dead bodies float). But again, no JP/Exp are gained here.

In order for damage split to work, you must actually hit and hurt someone. Since the person has already died, its liker attacking midair. no damage= no Exp/Jp.

Hint: Its sorta a glitch and it RARELY comes into play. I found it by accident, as any of you I assume would too, if you find it at all.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

There's no way I'll be able to figure it out, I'm not familiar with all the glitches.

We'll have to try it when you tell us though, it sounds interesting.

[RedCydranth]

Okay its 10 PM.. i know i said i'd give until 11:30 but whatever... heres how to do it.

get any lancer and make him/her invisible. Select an alive enemy and jump. While hes in mid air you have a few turns before he comes down hopefully. Within this timeframe KILL the targeted guy (while hes still on the targeted spot) eventually it will be the lancer's turn and come down on the dead guy. For some reason since he was invisible, the game focuses on removing the invisibility, and not whether the target was alive or not. The game awards him Exp/JP even though his/her target was dead.

new Question: I'll make it easy. What is the strongest hammer/mace/flail weapon and how can it be obtained?

[Lich3636]

Scorpion Tail isnt it? I never did use flails anyway Poach a Hyudra

[RedCydranth]

Yep, you're up Lich

[Lich3636]

meh I cant think of anything so heres a easy one. Throughout the game you fight several generic units that do not have specific names (miluda and such does not count) but have different pictures and are inviteable (except one) what are the battles and classes of these characters

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Your definition of easy and mine are worlds apart. Give me a few days to replay the game and I'll get back to you.

[Lich3636]

I find this easy for three reasons 1: I have a very good memory 2: I probably play and beat this game at least 3 times a year more if no good games come out 3: I take note of odd things like this

[Khimbar]

is one of them a thief at Mandalia Plains with Algus? (havent played the game in like 3 years...)

[RedCydranth]

I'm not fully sure of what you are getting at because MOST characters that don't have heavt plot relevance get their names generated randomly. The only one I can remember is Fencer. He's in the Dorter Slums. As far as I know the rest don't really have specific names.

I'm a duh-face.. i totally didn't read that right...LOL. Um people with specific face but NOT specific name? Um... none to my knowledge...like GTV I'm gonna have to replay to figure that out.

[BG-57]

Is one of them the 'underpaid' thief in the dorter Trade City battle?

[Lich3636]

BG-57 is on the right track thats one. two more to go

[Khimbar]

can you just give me a frame of reference of when the other two appear from there???

[Lich3636]

I gave a big hint on one of them Ill post the battles tommorow around this time

[BG-57]

When they give generic units lines, they often have different character pictures. I doubt Lezales counts in the first battle in Orbonne Monastary since his name is the same every time.

Golgorand Execution Site (the archer pretending to be Princess Ovelia).

Germinas Peak (the ninja leader)?

[Lich3636]

I wasnt thinking about the archer but Ill give it to you the other character was the Squire in the second battle (hence me saying only one wasnt inviteable since theres no way you could have a mediator then)

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

seriosly some of these trivia are insane.

lol, i never even notice stuff like this.

[BG-57]

Is it my turn or do we have to keep on guessing? :confused:

It's going to get more obscure as we go along since we've been running through all the more obvious questions first. Also we may start to repeat ourselves. :greenie:

[Lich3636]

go BG

[BG-57]

Question: Name three places you can encounter Hyrudras.

[Khimbar]

Is Murond Holy Place one of them?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I think the Deep Dungeon and Nevelska temple (or however you spell it) are two.

[Khimbar]

yea, thats it, but not too sure on Nelveska, you sure??

[Lich3636]

Deep Dungeon ,Nevelska temple, and The second battle against Balk i think the map is called Lost sacred precincts

[BG-57]

You are correct Lich3636! :)

[Lich3636]

ok this ones another odd one list all the monsters that speak english. :D this is harder than it looks

[Khimbar]

uh, Boco? the Byblos? and Reis?

[Lich3636]

boco and reis the dragon say wark and grr and byblos dosent talk

[BG-57]

By this I assume you mean any nonhuman character that speaks in the language of Ivalice:

Zodiac Monsters:
Queklain
Velius
Zalera
Adramelk
Elidibs
Hashmallum
Altima

Steel Giants:
Worker 7 New
Worker 8

Demons:
Sinogue
Celia
Lede

Undead Former Humans
Zalbag
Balk
Generics at Yuguo Woods (possibly)
Generics at Poeskas Lake

[Lich3636]

your missing 3 i told you this was harder than it appeared i found out these 3 compleatly by accident

[BG-57]

By accident? Does that mean that this happened during random encounters?

[Khimbar2775]

whoa, im like totally out of my league with guys like you........

[Lich3636]

no it was not a random encounter but ill give you a hint that will make this way easier they are monsters :D ......... ok for the real hint you first encounter this family of monsters in chapter 2 thats right its a family of generic monsters that talk its very subtle but as you can tell from my last question I notice the odd. that should make it easier

[Eternal Dark Night]

basic monsters right? well guess i'll take a crack at it uh um well huh man this is hard huh looks like im starting a new game all over again :mad2: man this is hard.

[Khimbar2775]

Is it used by either the Ahriman(seriously doubt it) or the Dryad family(Trent, Woodman & Taiju)?

[Lich3636]

hmmm upon reserchin if dryads could talk i found out all monsters seem to do this so now i beilive it to be something square over looked if you go to remove unit monsters ussualy with say something with ( ) around it but when i went to dismiss a uribo it didnot have () around it meaning it was speaking english which is wat fooled me but if you go to remove after a few times all monsters do this odd thing and now i feel pretty stupid so BG your up

*sigh* i'll never live this down

[Nakor TheBlue Rider]

ohh yah

yah i always thought the (...) brackets meant it wasnt english but thats what the monster was saying.

so if theres no brackets then i guess it would be english

[BG-57]

My next guess would have been the Ultima Demons since they cast the same Ultima Ramza can, I assumed they could chant the words to it as well.

Question: What is the hottest place in Ivalice? What are the two coldest places in Ivalice?

[RedCydranth]

I'd assume the hottest would be Bervenia Volcano.

And I can only think that snow means cold, so.. Goland Coal City and Fort Zeakden.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Could the area you find Reis in count as cold? I can't quite remember the name, but it was snowing underground which leads me to believe that it's pretty darn cold.

[Khimbar2775]

Isnt Poeskas Lake a bunch of snow?

[RedCydranth]

I can answer both questions. The underground Colliery is in Goland Coal City. So yes, it is cold there.

Poeskas Lake is not really a full lake but a dried up one, so the substance on the ground is not snow or ice, but salt.

[Khimbar2775]

Ah, thx for the clarification.

[BG-57]

You are correct RedCydranth! :)

I thought it was a little strange calling the Colliary Underground levels 'underground' since you can see the sky and snow falling. I guess it's an open pit mining operation.

[RedCydranth]

My turn for a question eh?

Its gonna be easy... Who raised Rafa and Malak?

[Khimbar2775]

oooh, cant remember his name, but he was fat!!!

[Masamune·1600]

Barinten.

[RedCydranth]

Yes it was Duke Barinten. Go mune.

[Masamune·1600]

Let's see....

Elidibs' Serpentarius skill set is Dark Cloud, and his abilities (Zodiac is a summon ability) are Midgar Swarm and Poison Frog. What are the character quotes that correspond to these two abilities?

[Khimbar2775]

........WHAT?!?!?!?!

[RedCydranth]

He's looking for the quotes to both Elidibs spells, Midgar Swarm (supposed to be Midgar Zolom, but translation died) and Poison Frog.

I remember fighting him and him casting both of those, but he didn't say the spell quotes. I'd have to replay the whole game to find out... and the Elidibs battle is a menacing one so it'd take me a LONG time to get the answer.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

That's about the size of it.

*starts new game*

[Khimbar2775]

i mean, yea I understood the question but, who would actually *know* that kinda stuff?!?!

[feioncastor]

Let's see....

Elidibs' Serpentarius skill set is Dark Cloud, and his abilities (Zodiac is a summon ability) are Midgar Swarm and Poison Frog. What are the character quotes that correspond to these two abilities?

"Life is short! Bury! Steady Swor-- I mean, Midgar Swarm"

"Scatter your poison, froggy blades! Poison Frog!"

[Masamune·1600]

My intent wasn't to force everyone to start new games. I could change the question to ask for certain Altima quotes, instead (I presume you all still have save files near the end), if you would all prefer.

[Despotus]

So... Feion's replies weren't right? :confused:

I'd love to be able to take a stab at this one; but as I said a week ago, I don't have my PS2 or my FFT right now. :cry:

[Delacroix]

That one is rough, I wish I didn't get Zodiak 2 days ago, so I could shoot a decent question off. Stupid me not saving it :(

But since I hate waiting, what item gives you both Protect and Shell?

Also, another pretty easy one, how can you get multiple Excalibur Swords!

Please don't double-post, use the edit/delete button instead.

~Void

[RedCydranth]

Seeing as no one has answered the last question before Delacroix, i'll answer his. Salty Rage adds both Shell and Protect. Its a shame only the girls can use it. The guys should have had Musks or Colognes.

Orlandu starts with the Excalibur and one can be found in Mlapan.

In lieu of taking the time to get a decent question, From the point in which the game starts (forget storyline how the opening scenario is actually way after the 1st real battle of the game) who is the tenth DIFFERENT person to say something? Battle quotes like "Layer upon layer make your mark now." and such do not count.

[Acturos]

I think he meant, as in to duplicate the swords, meaning having more that one, than rathing hastening yourself twice as faster.

Its quite simple really, you just need ramza to be knight with the ability two-swords. * i think it was sword, or hands, experimint with both* then equip the weakest shield on the left hand or was it the right? * well whatever hand is the first hand at the equip menu at the top* and equip excalibur at the right hand.

Go to the nearest castle, and do best fit on ramza, it should come up with excalibur replacing the sheild and the best weapon that castle has to offer on the other right hand. press yes, and now check your inventory screen

ohmawgawd, two excaliburs, yay!

I think im right ;.;

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

RedCyandranth's answer is valid, I would think, so I'd say he gets to go next. And he's already posted a question, which I'm too tired to even try to remember the answer to.

[Delacroix]

I am only going on main Characters when you start off with Ovelia praying.

Lady Knight: Agrias
Simon
Ovelia
Gaf.
Ramza
Rad
Delita
Zalbag
Alma
Balbanes?

If I am correct, What is the way of the Beoulve?

And yes, I mean how to duplicate any thing in the game. It is quite easy, and can do it with any shield/weapon in the game.

Fastest way to do it is just to make any one character a knight, if it is a sword. Equip both a sword, and a shield. Go to the fitting room, and equip a weak weapon in place of the shield. Do best fit, quit out, then you have another weapon of the one you Best Fitted for free.

Yes, its a shame that men didnt get colognes or musks, it made me mad when I got Salty Rage, but I had all male characters :P

[Acturos]

I'll start with an easy one !!

What's the saying when you cas Cure 4? x]

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Acturos it isn't your turn right now. We need to wait to see if Delacroix was correct, and if that is the case then you need to answer his question correctly before you can ask one of your own.

[Acturos]

Oho.o... thought he was corret, wait ... wasn't his question already answered?

[darkblade117]

his answer wasn't verified, so u'll have to wait ur turn actruos... but delacroix, ur missing dycedarg in there... so i think almas is the tenth person. umm... u should put dycedarg either before or after zalbag, in which, either case, alma is the tenth person.

[Delacroix]

Well darn, I forgot all about Dye, I was going off of memory :?

[darkblade117]

iunno... but hey... does this mean i'm right?

[RedCydranth]

1. Agrias
2. Ovelia
3. Simon
4. Gafgarion
5. Lavian? Alicia? Nameless? (female knight who rushed in hurt)
6. Ramza
7. Goltana's Knight (Outside Orbonne)
8. Delita
9. Male Cadet
10. Female Cadet

The answer was Female Cadet.
If you thought I meant storyline characters it plays out like:

1. Agrias
2. Ovelia
3. Simon
4. Gafgarion
5. Ramza
6. Delita
7. Balbanes
8. Zalbag
9. Dycedarg
10. Alma

So, Darkblade is the most correct, but you all were incorrect. Sorry, I never said they had to be MAIN characters, I just said battle quotes didnt count.

Since no one got it correct I'll post another one. Where is the first place you see Weigraf? Where is the last?

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

I believe the first time you see Wiegraf is when you go to rescue Elmdor, at the end of the mission. The last time you see him is when he transforms into Velius. Or when you kill Velius, depending on how you define "Wiegraf".

[Wiegrahf42]

I believe the first time you see Wiegrahf is in dorter, though he is not named at the time.

[RedCydranth]

Hmm. Close... WHERE is the last place you see him?

Wiegrahf42 got the first half... First person to put both halves together wins!

[Eternal Dark Night]

[QUOTE=Eternal Dark Night]the last place ive seen him is at were he turns to velius well im not to far in the game cuz i like starting new files and try to make everything perfect. one thing wigraf is just dirty i would never of toke the devils side now hes a bloodhound nice too. huh i QOUTED my self Dammit!

[Aurora_sword]

first we met him was in dorter trade city when he was talking to a fencer. then the last time would be when we fight velius.
