There are only 7 creature types? Where do monsters like Bomb, Imp, Larva, DustMoth, Sahagin, etc. go?
I guess the answer must be spirit then.

Takara got it first :)
aborjtm: There are 8 creature types (0 counts) as far as the game is concerned. They use these creature types when determining damage. For example, the Mythirl Hammer is effective against machines and spirit, causing 4x as much damage as it would have against another enemy. The Crystal Armor is effective against Undead, so Cecil receives half the damage against them.
Meh, it's probably going to be easy.
Q. Which shield protects against petrify?
Ageis's sheild?
Correct. :) Your turn.
That was just a lucky guess, I haven't gotten very far in this game yet so someone else can take my turn.
You could have asked a simple question ^-^...
Well, I will take this burden off your shoulders, then...
Q. What XP/Level does the Paladin Cecil starts his carreer with? :eek:
Level 1.
With 0 XP! Good answer!
What are the Fiends names derived from?
Milon: A demon of Malebolge
Kainazzo: Sea of Mystery (or something like that)
Valvalis: I have absolutely no idea...
Rubicant: Ruby---? (or something like a demon of canto 22)
*If* you meant the original japanese names, they are the following:
Milon -> スカルミリョーネ (Scarmilione)
Kainazzo/Cagnazzo -> カイナッツォ (Kainazzo)
Valvalis -> バルバリシャ (Valvalisha)
Rubicant -> ルビカンテ (Rubicante)
If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the latter list was derived from Dante's Inferno.
I didn't know about Dante's Inferno (from the Divine Comedy), but I just read that the 4 emperors from FF4 are names from the book. I gotta buy it! :)
After some searching, I found out the names:
Scarmiglione (canto 21)
Cagnazzo (canto 21 and 22)
Rubicante (canto 21 and 22)
Barbariccia (canto 21 and 22)
If this is the right answer, abrojtm had it first. I only divulged my findings in case someone would be interrested, and for informal/educational purposes ;).
[i]Yep, it's Dantes Inferno.

Yay, since I suck at asking questions, I'll just throw in an easy one:
Q: How many prince/princesses do you meet through the course of the game?
Easy question???
Let's see...
- Edward/Gilbert (prince of Damcyan)
Hemmmm... well....
- Is Luca the daughter of King Giott?? (If so, she's a princess)
Baron, no... Fabul, no...
Oh wait! Edge! He's the rightful heir of Eblana!... That makes three...
Mysidia, no... Sylph cave, ... duh? Cecil and Yang have no royal blood and ascend to the throne directly... I don't think FuSoYa really exists.
Golbez is the prince of darkness? nah... won't work...
I only think of three (Gilbert, Edge and Luca), but since I must miss two dozen princes/princesses, I'll wait...
Those are the only three I was thinking either, unless I'm horribly, horribly mistaken. I thought of putting in the question "Barbaricca is the Princess of Wind doesn't count", but I didn't think anyone would put that. Nevertheless, it's your go.
Luca! That's the stupid princesses name! Doh!
Hmmmm...
What statuses does the Ribbons protect against? (or which ones does it *not* protect against?)
Hint: Ribbon grants immunity to 11 statuses (I'll accept 9). 5 Statuses are not hindered by Ribbon.
The five that are not hindered are:
Curse, Death/swoon/KO/Smakked, Confuse, Charm, Beserk
So how far off am I? Let's see what it does protect against:
Poison, blind, mute, piggy, toad, And that's all I can think of. It's late...
Feion
Ribbon protects against swoon (magical death, for example), and curse.
Confuse and charm is the same thing ^-^.
No, I meant like dying cause you get hit for 2000 when your max HP is only 1000. Ribbons dont' protect against that.Quote:

But since a physical death is not a "status" (as in status-inflicting weapon), the physical death is not counted in the list.
It doesn't protect against Float, Regen, Wall, Haste, or Blink...?
Aaaaaw... technically, you're right, but...
- I may be wrong, but I don't recall anything able to regenerate something (maybe in the monster's spells?).
- In FF4, Haste and Slow are not considered "statuses". They merely change the speed of the character (or enemy), which is a byte separated from the inflicted status bytes.
- Wall and Blink cannot be associated with weapons/armors. That means that "Count", (Jumping), (TwinCasting), (Charging), (Parrying), (Egg), "Stop", "Paralyze", (Weak), (Covered), "Blink", "Barrier", "Wall", (HP Leaking), and (Hiding) cannot be inflicted upon a character/enemy by using a weapon, nor can the character/enemy be immune against them by wearing an armor/protection. Normal spells cannot inflict them either - special spells using different subroutines are used for "Stop", "Blink", "Barrier", (HP Leaking), ......
So that leaves 16 statuses. That includes "Hold", which (somehow) is different from "Paralyze" in FF4.
So if you check this post with feioncastor's, the answer will be easy.
Good news: since abrojtm's answer was technically right, if he begins his next post with "I love FF4", he will win. Of course, he can choose to continue... ^-^
Good luck everyone! (long post, I know)
Hey, does anyone know what tellahs last name was? Did he even HAVE one? Ditto for the twins. I'm just curious.
According to the FF4 Settei Shiryou Hen (one of four books released in japan), they don't have last names. Rydia doesn't have any official family name, though "Drake" seems to be popular among fans :).
And btw, abrojtm, you can ask the next question...
Drake? What the... Some fans can be so weird. :confused:
Thought Rydia of Mist was actually her official name.
Well, Rydia of Mist is like saying Zyrthofar Blackcloak of Moaning-Plains, or, say, Jesus of Nazareth... Oh well...
I too consider Rydia of Mist to be the official name, but if I have to give her a family name, I would go with the current tendencies ^-^.
FuSoYa's family name is BouTaYa, but since I just made that up, consider it a joke of ill taste :S...
Helen of Troy, too, lost her family name to be remembered through the ages by the place she was from. That's sad, imho.
I think Joan's family name really was "of Arc" (D'Arc, in french)... anyone knows for sure?
Let's keep this thread going, please.
OOC: People didn't inherit surnames until long after the death of Jesus. If they did have a "surname" it was basically their father's name shortened or changed slightly.
abrojtm... you still have to ask the next question.
What's the next question? *lol* I didn't read every single page of this, but it seems very interesting! I can't wait to get a question right and ask a question! *lol* I'll probably ask a question that's already been asked. Hmm....*ponders* :D
I think since it's been a month there's no question, we can let Curbie try... That would most likely ressucitate the forum :)
:D Sweet! Here goes the next question! When fighting the Tricker, and after he's cast scan on himself to show you his weakness...how does he attack you after you've attacked him by the "weakness"? In other words...he scans himself showing that he's weak against "Lit-1, Lit-2 & Lit-3". After you've casted any lighting spell against him, how does he retalliate by attack?
by casting Lit/Bolt 3 on every team member of yours every combat round he can, after saying something to the likes of haha you fell for it.
Yeah, that's correct. Your question Siegurd.
alright, here's an easy one:
What are the four alternate summons you can get for Rydia, and how early in the game is it possible to get them? (not Bahamut, etc).
Imp: Start of Kain as soon as you leave Baron
Bomb: Mt. Fabul (I believe)
Cocat: I wanna say Fabul area.
Mage: Cave NE of Toroia (can't remember name)
yes!
A new question???
i dont no if this has been asked but im jusk keeping the thread alive
What are the names and elements of the 4 fiend elements
I believe their names were Scarmiglion(earth),Cagnozio(water),
Valvalica(wind), and Rubicante(fire)
Some of the names may not be spelt right but I think the names are right.
If your talking about Final Fantasy IV, then they are Milon (Earth), Cagnazzio (Water), Valvalica (Wind), and Rubicant (Fire)
the wind one is actualy Valvalis but ill give it to ya
i thought it was barbariccia. :tongue:
The original name was barbaricca. In FFII US it was mistranslated.
Did they mistranslate in FFIV (Chronicles) too, or was it right, or did they just go with it because they had already named her in the US?
All four names, it's worth noting, were extracted from Dante's Divine Comedy, but as to the previous question:
FFIV (Chronicles version) did indeed call them Milon, Cagnazzo, Valvalis, and Rubicant. The names as they appear in Dante's work were used in the SoC dungeons in FFI: DoS.
Okay, since my last queston was slightly off topic and received no response (I apologize), here's an FF4 trivia question:
In the underworld, there is a bug which may allow you to skip one boss. Which boss is it, and how is it done?
Then why ask it? I thought this was a FFIV trivia thread?Quote:

*whispers* psst ace-eye! :greenie: You forgot to answer the name of the boss. Say "Evil Wall"...
:fphap: <-- Genma Saotome
Did this post offically die? I was having fun learning and reading everything! :p
It was over a year ago, so I'd say so.
Since we've already gone and revived it, I guess I'll think of a question (Unless the mods close it anyway.)
What weapon for Rydia is dropped by Dragons in the Core of the Moon? :cat:
Dragon's Whisker (GBA Version) or Dragon Whip in the other versions.
In the GBA Version, what does Tokita say if Porom is the only girl in your team?
(This should be easy)
"An all-male party? I'm not too excited about that...
But if it means I get to see Rosa and *Lydia, I'll go!"
T. Tokita has joined your party!
"Please take me with you! I don't like it here!"
*I renamed Rydia Lydia. And I named Kain Cain. Haha.:cat:
Okay...Well, I'm not good at thinking up questions...someone else think of one...:cat:
Q: Why don't you make a new thread instead of bringing up a dead one?
