FF9 millionare.

[boys from the dwarf]

i dont think theres been a who wants to be a millionare for FF9 yet so im starting one. these are the rules.
1.
i start of with a question to everyone and whoever answer is first is in the hotseat and is the only one allowed to answer the questions until s/he wins or loses.
2.
there are 3 lifelines that may only be used once. 50/50 takes away 2 wrong answers from the selection of four.
with phone a friend you say who you are going to PM then you PM that person and ask him/her to say what s/he thinks the answer is.
ask the audience lets the next 10 people post in with what they think the answer is and then the percentages for each answer is counted up.please do NOT deliberately post a wrong answer to try and make the person lose.
3.
you have until the end of the day + 2 days to answer each question.
4.
the are 15 questions and they get harder each time. this is how much each is worth.seems as its FF you wont be getting money but you will get the pride of knowing that youve beaten the FF9 quiz.ill start a high score list . i dont think ill bother with milestones like in the show.
5.
if for any reason i am away for a long time (e.g holiday.) i will say so and someone can PM me and ask if they can take my place until i return.
7: dont look on the internet for answers or else it will make things too easy and unfair. i want you to answer mainly using what you remember from the game. i dont mind if you play the game to get some knowledge but dont check up using the internet. also if the thread starts to realy die and no one joins for a long time ill let people have second goes(but this may not happen because my aim is to let as many people as possible play.).
8. you can have as many turns as you like as you like but there needs to be two people in between each of your turns.

100gil
200gil
300gil
500gil
1,000gil
2,000gil
4,000gil
8,000gil
16,000gil
32,000gil
64,000gil
125,000gil
250,000gil
500,000gil
1,000,000gil

now ill start with the question to decide who goes in the hotseat first.
put these character in order. the first one to become playable goes at the top and the last is moved to the bottom of the list e.c.t. the first to get them all in order goes on the hotseat.
a.steiner
b.blank
c.zidane
d.vivi

{High scores}
endless twilight. 1,000,000gil.
Pure Quin 14. 1,000,000gil
vivisteiner. 500,000gil
rantzien. 125,000gil
hinky the pickle. 32,000gil
slick sword 45. 16,000gil
blue pheonix. 16,000gil
shotgunnova. 8,000gil
fantasy fan. 8,000gil
boys from the dwarf. 4,000gil
Ace14. 500gil
vivi_ultima. 200gil

important:

I am no longer the host. purequin14 is the host for now. i will keep an eye on this thread and will eventually return as the host but right now im being the host for the FF8 survivor games and its almost greedy to be 2 hosts at once.

EDIT: stealing the idea from FF7 sure great, boys from the dwarf

[boys from the dwarf]

you can be next in the hot seat only if you answer the question after vivisteiner wins or loses before everyone else. i cant reserve places in the hotseat so youll just have to do it the normal way.

[Vivisteiner]

[Vivisteiner]

I'm good with monster names...
I definately know armodullahan, I hate them. And catoblepas. I think plant spider is those things in evil forest sooooooo I'll choose:

C. the hill of woe.

[Vivisteiner]

Do ask the audience. Man I hate this question.

[Twilight Edge]

A.Hill of Despair.

[TheSpoonyBard]

A. Hill of Despair

[boys from the dwarf]

also new rule.theres nothing i can do to stop you from doing this but i would like the person in the hotseat to refrain from looking on websites for the answers to questions because i would like the person on the hotseat to use knowlegde that s/he remembers from the game instead of being boring and looking on websites for the answers.i dont mind people playing the actual game to learn some more things about it but please dont look on the internet for answers. thank you. also for those of you who didnt bother reading the starting post ask the audience means you can post in with what you think the answer is until vivisteiner chooses the answer.

[Llanowar]

A.) Hills of Despair

[Ace14]

A) Hill of Despair

[Vivisteiner]

Oh. I would have played the game then as I've got one file saved in front of Necron. Can I guess now, or should I wait?

[boys from the dwarf]

well if i was in your position i would just guess right now instead of wasting time getting to necron considering that youve used 50/50 and ask the audience.

[Vivisteiner]

Oh well. Ask the audience hasnt finished but:

A)Hill of despair

[boys from the dwarf]

correct. only this question and 3 more until the end.
now for 125,000Gil.
which character says these quotes?
"your wasting your time."
"rats often look for new homes when they sense an earthquake."

is it
A.Beatrix.
B.Queen Brahne.
c.kuja.
D.zorn.

[Dell]

oh, I know this character.

sorry, boys from the dwarf. really, really, really and really sorry

[boys from the dwarf]

can you please edit or delete that post vivi_ultima because i dont want you to give it away for vivisteiner.

[Twilight Edge]

Agreed.

[boys from the dwarf]

thank you vivi_ultima. no need to act so ashamed. you seem to be following this thread quite well so if you carry on looking at it im sure youll have a good chance of being in the hotseat after vivisteiner.

[Vivisteiner]

I know it. I love the rats comment:
C.Kuja

[boys from the dwarf]

yes. the answer is Kuja.
now for 250,000gil.
which of these is not a quote from the game.
A."Shut up! I've heard enough of your crap! I'm taking you out, right here, right now!"
B."I want to go on my own..."
C."How foolish of you to go alone."
D."We may be enemies next time we meet..."

[Dell]

the question really become hard, I don't sure the answer now.

[boys from the dwarf]

this is the 3rd last question so of course its hard. i think most of the quotes that are said on the game arent too hard to remember though but it is supposed to be tricky.

[Twilight Edge]

I think I know...but not sure...

[Vivisteiner]

OK. For phone a friend I'll PM Omnislasher Draco

[boys from the dwarf]

sounds good. just in case omnislasher draco doesnt know how to do PM a friend, all he has to do is read the PM and post in on this thread what he thinks the answer is.

[Angel Heart]

Omnislasher Draco isn't online at the moment. But i know the answer, so you can PM me if you want Vivisteiner.

[Vivisteiner]

Ok then I'll PM Angel Heart

[Angel Heart]

I think it's B. "I want to go alone".

[Twilight Edge]

Yup.That's my answer to your PM too.

[boys from the dwarf]

and also just to let you know. the person doesnt have to be online when you PM them because they still have a few days to reply. my rule for time limits is this. if i post a question i wait until the end of the day + another 2 days. thats how long you have to answer a question.

[Vivisteiner]

That was my suspicion too. Thanks both of ya...:D
b. I want to go on my own

[boys from the dwarf]

yes. now for 500,000gil.

now for 1,000,000 gil.
Upon arriving in Alexandria after the Red Rose, you have to search the castle for Princess Garnet. Which Knight of Pluto is in Garnet's room? from now on im making the questions harder because vivisteiner seemed to get past the 500,000gil quite easily.

A.Dojebon
B.Mullenkedheim
C.Weimar
D.There isn't a Knight of Pluto in the room

[Vivisteiner]

I'm thinking D, but its just a guess.
So I'll take the money.

[boys from the dwarf]

you did well getting to 500,000. i made it a bit too easy this first time but now im going to start making it harder sooner. D is the wrong answer. B is the correct answer.
now i will start a high score table and ask another starting question so someone else can take the hotseat. but for the next person on the hotseat, just incase they havent read the rules, do NOT look on the internet or strategy guides for answers and try and use things you remember from the game. i dont mind you playing the game to find hints and things but do not cheat by looking on the internet.
now another starting question.

[crazybayman]

come on, boys from the dwarf, give hard question, I found your question to be easy (sorry, if this post hurt you somehow).
That's because the first few questions are supposed to be easy, and get harder as you go along. The first one should literally be a gimme.

Who Wants to be a Millionaire without Regis actually makes it watchable :p

[boys from the dwarf]

zeus mace is the correct answer
now for 300gil

Fine. No problem.

[Shotgunnova]

(And sorry about whittling this down to one-question-a-day, but I'm obligated to show my mother around while she's in town. Shouldn't be too much longer.)

[boys from the dwarf]

A.flame sabre.
B.ice brand.

[Shotgunnova]

Nah, it's not too hard. I only know the answer with a fair amount of exactitude because I got it the first chance I could. Pretty good question.'

D. Tiger Racket

[boys from the dwarf]

tiger racket is the correct answer.
now for 2,000gil.

D. none of these.

[Shotgunnova]

I'll just say an answer to get this thing movin':

B. If they are KO'd in the Zombie status effect

[boys from the dwarf]

that would of been tricky unless youd known it from personal experience. and you probably did because thats the correct answer.
now for 4,000 gil.
what is the largest amount of characters that havent been in your party before that can join you in disk 2.
is it.
A.2
B.4
C.5
D.3

[Shotgunnova]

The largest maximum amount? Quina absolutely has to be gotten on Disc 2 if s/he was forgotten before. Eiko and Amarant make three. Zidane fought with Marcus before, but Marcus never actually joins the party until Disc 2, which brings the total to four. I'm counting party members by people you can actually look up in the menu screen, which I'm guessing it about the only criteria for such a thing.

1) Eiko
2) Amarant
3) Quina (you did say "can" join you)
4) Marcus

Answer: B. 4

And I probably would've gotten that other question wrong if Vivi hadn't been knocked around by Grand Cross during the last boss fight. That was one of the questions I hadn't had to think about in a long time. Good job on that'un.

[boys from the dwarf]

B was the answer but you got lucky. thinking the way you were the answer should have been 5 because of beatrix but i count marcus as being in your party before as you control him in the first battle on disk 1.
i was hoping youd forget about beatrix and you did but you still got the right answer.
now for 16,000gil(its 16,000 because i just noticed i made 2 300gil questions a little while back.).
how does kujas flare star attack work?
is it.
A. damage=level X50
B. damage= Hp kujas lost divided by 20
C. damage= level X 40.
D. damage= seconds the battle has gone on for X 30

[TheSpoonyBard]

That's a trick question. None of the answers are right.

[Dell]

ET, you're not allowed to give the answer unless you were in the hotseat or if the currently-in-hotseat-person ask for lifelines.

[TheSpoonyBard]

I'm not answering the question. I'm advising bftd that his question needs reworking.

[Shotgunnova]

I was pretty sure I saw someone throw the tidbit out at a different messageboard a few days back, but I'm pretty sure it's--

A. Character's level x 50

Was certain that it did varying damage dependant on each individual character level, though...

[boys from the dwarf]

sorry. the answer is characters level X 40. you managed to get over halfway and these questions were very hard. now for a new starting question.
but these in order of when you get to ride them. first one at the top and last at the bottom.
A.the hilda garde 3.
B.the blue narciss.
C.choco.
D. the invincible.

A. The Hilda Garde 3
D. The Invincible

[Ace14]

NEXT TIME!:exdee:

[Shotgunnova]

Where's your source for the damage formula? I don't think it's Level*40...

[TheSpoonyBard]

Flare Star deals damage = the target's level x35. That's why I objected to the question.

[Shotgunnova]

I seem to recall the skill changing damage modifiers in Ozma's hands, but I don't ever recall it being Lv*40. Times fifty, maybe, and thirty-five seems about right, but not forty.

[boys from the dwarf]

endless twilight, your correct and on the hotseat. remember to read all of the rules so you dont make any mistakes and good luck. it is LvX40, maybe you have a different version, i have the english version. i clearly remember the damage being exactly 2680 on zidane who was at level 67 and i think youl find that 2680 divided by 67 is 40. you should go and fight kuja and check yourselves because it is 40.
anyway, for 100 gil.
which of these is a place that always rains.

A.Cleyra
B.Lindblum

A. dark matter.
B. peridot.
C. topaz.
D. lapis lazuli.

[Shotgunnova]

I just checked, dude, and it's never Lv*40. Two of the fights use Lv*35 and the third fight with it uses Lv*50.

[boys from the dwarf]

do you live in america because it may be different in the american version. and i think you only fight kuja twice unless theres another boss who uses flare star. now could you please drop this conversation.

[Ace14]

do you live in america because it may be different in the american version. and i think you only fight kuja twice unless theres another boss who uses flare star. now could you please drop this conversation.

[boys from the dwarf]

do whatever you like PQ14. and just a small reminder about rules (because i know that people often skip to the end of the thread without reading the stuff before it.
1. read my post at the start of the thread.

2. do not look on the internet for answers because thats cheating(you can look on the game i for some extra info but i want this to be mainly on your memory of things.) .

3. feel free to PM me with ideas for questions because its become a little difficult to think of them right now.

[Quindiana Jones]

Gotcha. Anyone take my bet?

[Twilight Edge]

Instead on PoA,why not bet on gil as well?It's the (sort of)official FF currency.

[Ace14]

500 gil ET will make it.

[Twilight Edge]

550 gil ET gets it too.

[boys from the dwarf]

Cor, typical. Other people ruined my harmless fun. Ah well, back to watching ET win, and eating pie.

[boys from the dwarf]

harmless yet annoying and pointless fun. if you want you can just bet a certain amount of gil and if you lose you go on an FF then sell some items and buy them back at double price until youve wasted the amount of money you bet.i dont know what you'd do if you win but you can think of that. but dont post any more of this gambling stuff on the FF9 millionare because it has nothing to do with it. if you must start an FF gambling thread dont do it in this thread.

[Quindiana Jones]

Fair enough. Apologies to you both. Have some pie, and perhaps repeat the question so ET doesn't have to scroll through bull*ahem* just to find it.

[boys from the dwarf]

o.k. ive repeated the question.And funnily enough im actually having pie for lunch.

when the full length summoning for atomos happens what difference does it make?
A. 30% more damage.
B. + 30 magic power to the summoner while casting.
C. +30 amethyst while casting.
D. 50% more damage.

[TheSpoonyBard]

D. 50% more damage

[boys from the dwarf]

incorrect. its +30 amethyst while casting. do you know that an eidolons power is increased if you have more gemstones? e.g. bahamut with 5 garnets would be stronger if he had 50. and atomos seems as hes a gravity based summon does an extra % damage for each amethyst.
now for the next starting question.

what is the proper name for the place the dwarves call the sanctuary?
is is
A. the lifa tree.
B. the earth shrine.
C. madain sari
D. the desert palace.

[Dell]

A) The Iifa Tree

[TheSpoonyBard]

Atomos' Attack Power is 30 + # of Amethysts. The damage formula for the full animation is

Damage = [(Atk Pwr * MaxHp) / 100]

The damage formula for the short animation is

Damage = [({(Atk Pwr * MaxHp) / 100} * 2) / 3]

Say you have 70 Amethysts and the enemy has 100 HP. The full animation would deal 100 damage and the short would deal 66.666... damage.

Now, 66.666... * 1.5 is 100. Therefore the answer is D, as I said.

The number of Amethysts used doesn't change. Credit to SoftReset for the formulas.

Would you like to reconsider?

[boys from the dwarf]

vivi_ultima was correct on that.
i used the formula off of gamefaqs.
seems as there are many different ideas for formulas around the internet ill let you be back on the hotseat. im sorry vivi_ultima but youll have to wait until ET is off the hotseat until you can continue.

which of these cards can NOT be won from eidolon master leyra at the treno card tournament.
A. Bahamut.
B. Odin.
C. Madeen.
D. Ark.

[Dell]

boys from the dwarf, you should give credit to the person who created the 1000000 gil question or is it you the one who give it.

[boys from the dwarf]

i made it myself. if someone gives me the question ill say who it is like the 1 million gil question when vivisteiner was in the hotseat and i said that the question was by Gunblade master.

[Quindiana Jones]

If I could cut out the middle bit (which always seem to be questions I don't know), and just have the Million Gil Question, I'd win this easy. Damn middles...

[TheSpoonyBard]

It's a trick question - they can all be won from Eidolon Master Leyra.

[Quindiana Jones]

Not as far as I know....

[boys from the dwarf]

is that your final answer or are you saying my question needs reworking? because ive checked and double checked on multiple websites and one of the 4 choives cant be won from eidolon master leyra.

[TheSpoonyBard]

I'll say C. Madeen. I think Leyra only has Garnet's eidolon cards.

[boys from the dwarf]

CORRECT! congratulations. i cant be 100% certain that you didnt cheat because all those people saying youd get to the 1mil and you saying you used softresets guide at one point but ill put you on the high score table anyway. howd you do it? have you played FF9 tons and pretty know it as well as your own house or something because you didnt use any lifelines. i guess youd just played FF9 and got pretty much 100% of everything completed. i plan to do that soon. in fact i actually plan to fill a whole memory card with FF9 data at nearly every point of the game. congrats again. anyway. vivi_ultimas back on the hotseat now ( look back at the last page of the thread if you want to know why.).

[Twilight Edge]

You can't.Vivi_Ultima was on the hotseat when ET came back and resumed his game.So it's Vivi's turn.

[Quindiana Jones]

Oh yeah. Bum eyes.

[TheSpoonyBard]

I guess as IX is one of my favourites I paid more attention. I've only completed it about three times, but as Pure Quin14 said, this game is very memorable. I'll stick around to help if anyone wants to use a lifeline.

[boys from the dwarf]

thanks. also if you have any question ideas like ive said before please PM me.

[Quindiana Jones]

I can't remember what the question number is....and is V_U still playing?

ET, you've only played it 3 times? You know more about this game than me and I've played it at least 10 times :D. And I mean played, paying attention to itty bits and doing as much as possible. I guess stuff gets pushed outta my mind easier...:D

[Dell]

B. Nova Dragon

I played it two times and know a bit about it.

[boys from the dwarf]

incorrect. the answer is silver dragons. nova dragon is the boss after the FMV in the FMV the silver dragons are the ones that fly towards the airships. the nova dragon looks nothing like the silver dragon.

You could do with checking names. B should be Masamune (or the like), and C on the starter question is Malaris not Malarith. Just the little things that someone could get confused on.

[boys from the dwarf]

A. make his flair abilities twice as effective.
B. make his attack 2.5 times more powerful.
C. make his flair attack effect all enemies or allies.
D. make his attacks and flair abilites twice as powerful.

[Quindiana Jones]

I know it makes him have Elan, which gets all enemies (or allies if you're doing a nice one)...but I always thought it made his attack stronger too...I reckon a mix between C and D...but seeing as that's not an option:

C. Make his Flair attacks effect all enemies or allies.

[boys from the dwarf]

correct. ill think of a 16,000gil question later.

[Quindiana Jones]

Bitchin! I thought I was gonna get that wrong.

Question: If I was, say, standing outside BMV, and you asked a question about BMV, would I be allowed to play FF9 to find out? Or is that cheating?

[TheSpoonyBard]

He said playing the game to find things out is fine, just don't use GameFAQs or some such site to look up the answer.

Pertaining to the previous question, Trance increases physical attack power for all the characters, as well as giving them a special ability. The only character to which this does not apply is Steiner. He simply gets a larger boost to his physical attack.

[boys from the dwarf]

its good to just use what youve remembered but i wont call you a cheater just because you looked on the game.

[boys from the dwarf]

C. is another one from esto gaza where their capturing eiko. D. is a slightly changed version of something vivi or zidane says near the end of mount gulug so D is the correct answer.

ahwell=p good luck ekio guy

[Quindiana Jones]

I think the questions were hard enough. Though for final questions, I don't think characters are a good subject. Quotes, cards, items etc were good hard questions though.

Oh yeah. Good luck etc etc

[boys from the dwarf]

the reason i picked that as the last one is because few people know a lot about slightly less important characters like fratley and the chances of someone remembering whats written on the key item is pretty low. its just bad luck that i happened to ask it to a fratley fan.

[Quindiana Jones]

Ah yes. Good point. Fratley's the best!

[Eiko Guy]

the qu clan is tha spelled right

no you cant. im sorry. i told vivisteiner earlier on in this thread so the same rule applys to everyone else. is anyone going to have a try at the question?

[TheSpoonyBard]

bftd, if it's not too much trouble could you put all the rules in the first post? That'd make it easier, rather than having to trek through five pages.

[boys from the dwarf]

delete your post then vivi-ultima. i was planning to move the only one attempt rule to the first post but while im at it ill add the rest as well.

This was my first post. I have since edited it out in an attempt to be witty and forgotten what it originally said. Good going, Rantzien. Judging from the context, I guess I might have said something like "I would join in the game but I don't have time lol!"

Let's see what boys from the dwarf has to say to that!

Hmm, I thought I remembered all of those being said, then I noticed that B looks a bit weird. "It shouldn't hurt you, but you should be o.k." just doesn't sound right, so I'm gonna do ahead and take a guess at:
b. "That was the seal. It shouldn't hurt you, but you should be o.k."
