Ragtimer's back in town!

This is based off my Ragtimer Came to Town Thread. The rules are mostly the same. The first person to answer the given question correctly is given the points.
The point system works like this
1 point for... Answering a question correctly, or Noticing an error in my question
2 points for... Noticing an error in my question, and answering the question correctly.
3 points for... Finding my answer to be incorrect and providing a correct answer and a source to back up your correction.
I will wait alittle while and declare all who answered it correctly with points... please though hide your answers in spoiler tags.

For old times sake the first question will be...

Where do you have to be in order to incounter the Ragtimer?

In any forest in any part of the world?

(SPOILER)
You spelt encounter wrong. Whether that's on purpose or not is a mystery, until you reveal the answer.
There is no such creature as the Ragtimer, however there is a card titled Ragtimer with an image of the Ragtime Mouse, indicating you need to be in a card battle (or just browsing through your cards) to enounter it.

(SPOILER)Ragtimer and Ragtime Mouse are really the same thing. "Ragtimer" was what the game called him when one of his questions he said was: "True or False? You can defeat Ragtimer." He was talking about himself. Probably the reason people call him "Ragtime Mouse" was because FF9's strategy guide used that name. Heck, the strategy guide even said that the structure you examine to fight Ozma was an Eidolon grave.

Pupu is in fact, correct, the name's Ragtimer and Ragtime Mouse are interchangeable. But I'll give you 2 points for noticing the second way. Jammi next time mark your answer with a spoiler tag. PuPu gets three points for clearing that all up.

Leader's List
1. PuPu_______________3
2. Duality______________2
3. jammi567____________1

Question 2:
What is Princess Garnet's full name?

(SPOILER)Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII, or Sarah, depending on which you want to use.

(SPOILER)It really depends which Princess Garnet you mean. The true one that died as a child who was, to the best of my knowledge, called Princess Garnet til Alexandros 16th (I hope the format of the 16th doesn't count :(), or the Princess Garnet / Dagger character we see in the game who is not the original Princess, and whose original name I can't remember...

I guess only two people are answering this one.
Endless gets two points for including Sarah, Duality you get one because you couldn't remember the name Sarah.

Dude, if you aren't going to post on the topic of this thread, then get lost.

(SPOILER)Yes it's Ultima, maybe three times if you count that Kuja used Ultima in the FMV where he destroyed Terra.

What is the prize for answering all of Ragtimer's questions correctly?

(SPOILER)Protect Ring, 23,852 EXP, 59,630 gil

Why did Duality get a point? He didn't answer the question.

GoldenBoco and PuPu: please use the warn button instead of replying to spam. Let us handle that. :choc:

and chrisfffan, stop posting off topic. I'll delete posts off topic from now on.

My FFIX knowledge is limited, but I'm gonna try my best on this one without looking stuff up, so here we go:

(SPOILER)100.000 gil

According to the FFIX strategy guide where in the Chocobo's Sky Garden is Ozma located?

(SPOILER)Chocobo air garden! and I think it's a statue you have to check out to fight ozma.

Hi now it's time for me to jump in... this was pretty easy so...

(SPOILER)
First of all it's Chocobo's AIR Garden, second; according to the guide it says that Ozma is in an eidolon grave, which is located in the back of the air garden...

You both get points for noticing the error I made (I thought that would be a harder extra point to get :()

Only TiMsTeR_Of_hEaVeN got the question right though.

Who did Eiko give her love letter to?

(SPOILER)Eiko didnt give it to anyone. it was intended for zidane but steiner found it and thought it was from beatrix... that is if i remember correctly

No correct answer so far.

(SPOILER)Mog?

(SPOILER)Was it Baku?

(SPOILER)No one. Baku bumped into her, causing her to drop the letter. Baku picked it up and said he'd pass it on to Zidane. However, he dropped it at the docks where it was discovered by Beatrix.

(SPOILER)then was it quina?

Endless and Krzych got it...
If you think back you'll remember that Eiko had Docter Tot write it for Zidane, went to go deliver it, and got stuck. She then gave it to Baku to deliver it.

I'll give a slightly easier one.

True or False?
Ozma has an attack that can damage himself. (Extra point for naming what it is if you think its true)

(SPOILER)No, he doesn't originally have an attack that damages himself.

However...
If you have done the Friendly Monster side-quest, it will make Ozma weak against Shadow-Elemental attacks instead of absorbing it. So, if used Doomsday, he will damage himself.

(SPOILER)true

(SPOILER)True
Ozma's biggest weakness is Doomsday (damaging itself) and Slow

You all got it correct, Levian only gets 1 point he didn't list an attack, Krzych gets 2 points for naming off the skill and answering, and PuPu gets three, because he remembered to put how it can be false if you don't complete the friendly spirits side quest, he answered the question, and he named the skill.

What skill does Ultima Weapon teach?

Oh and Ultima Weapon teaches (SPOILER)Flee by the way.

(SPOILER)flee

Yep, Zidane's best weapon teachs flee 0.0

Next quetion
How many fingers am I holding up :p
Is it possible to get through the entire game at level 1?

(SPOILER)I don't know if this is a part of the contest but you forgot an s in question. and yes, it's possible.

(SPOILER)No because you would have to fight bosses along the way... For Example.... the first fight agianst Baku... I believe gives enough gives enough EXP to raise you a level

No that was just a typo.

Yes it is possible bosses don't give EXP in FFIX and it is possible to cast stop, on almost all enemies you have to face, and you can get yourself infected with the virus status effect, it has been done.

True or False
It is always pointless to use Odin durning a boss battle.

(SPOILER)False. Even though it won't do instant death, it still hurts the buggers :p

(SPOILER)false. it wont do instant death rather than just hurt them most of the time.

(SPOILER)False. It's worth summoning him if Garnet has Odin's Sword equipped.

(SPOILER)Ancient Aroma is the thing that gives Garnet the Odin's Sword ability by the way, if that counts for anything.

What accessory teaches Garnet Buhamut?

(SPOILER)None. Buhamut doesn't exist. If you meant Bahamut, then the answer's Garnet.

I thought that only the first person to answer to question correctly gets a point, so I saw many other people who already answered your question, I thought I had no chance to get a point anymore. Yeah, it won't happen again.
(SPOILER)
The Garnet accesory teaches Garnet Bahamut. Square probably did this on purpose. :p

(SPOILER)It's Bahamut :D but she gets it from Garnet.

That was just me typing too fast.

Correct, Garnet learns Bahamut from Garnet.

Alright next question.
What is the difference between cook and eat?

Do Levian and I not get 2 points for highlighting an error in the question?

(SPOILER)Eat requires the enemy to have lost 75% of its max HP. Cook is the Trance version and requires the enemy to have lost 50% of its max HP.

(SPOILER)There's a higher chance cook will work. doesn't require as much HP lost as Eat.

(SPOILER)Eat only works when the enemy has 1/8 of it's HP left, while Cook can work if the enemy has 1/4 of it's HP left. Otherwise, if the conditions of Eat or Cook aren't satisfied, Quina says "I no can eat til dumber weaker!" and they don't have any effect at all. Oh, and Eat and Cook don't work on certain enemies such as bosses. Basically, Cook works on monsters that would normally need to have less HP for Eat.

1/8 and 1/4 are guesses and probably wrong, since I don't really remember much about Eat/Cook.

how do you see whats behind the spoiler tag?

(SPOILER)Cook makes it so the enemy doesn't have to be as weak (less HP) as it does for Eat for Quina to devour the monster

Alright, alright, I guess you two do deserve it for noticing my typo.

How many Pumices can you get? Extra point(s) for naming all the ways you can get them.

(SPOILER)There are two ways to get a Pumice:

1. Synthesize a Pumice from Hades with two Pumice Pieces.
2. Defeat Ozma.

i dont know how to use spoiler tag

=[

Spoiler tags are done like this. [spoiler]text here[/spoiler]

(SPOILER)Two.

1. Dropped by Ozma
2. Synth two Pumice Pieces at Hades' shop

(SPOILER) Two I think....synthesise 2 pumice pieces at Hades and one if dropped by Ozma

Long time since I've been here...hope you remeber me Goldenboco :)

True or False?
If you are at the end of the game (so you can access all areas on the world map) and have 1 ore (and no other gemstones), can you finish the friendly spirit sidequest from start to finish?

(SPOILER) yes because only one wants an ore

(SPOILER)Yes, because the first one wants only one Ore, and once you give it to him, he'll give the gem that the next one wants and that one give the gem for the one after that and so on until Yan.

(SPOILER)true

(SPOILER)No, not unless you're allowed to fight random battles to get some more Ore. One isn't enough to satisfy all the Friendly Spirits.

Everyone got it except Endless,

Next Question.
Where does Memoria appear?

(SPOILER)On top of the Iifa Tree..(or at least thats where the purple ball of doom that you fly through to get there appears

(SPOILER)above the Iifa tree

(SPOILER)The gateway to Memoria is above the Iifa Tree. It doesn't say if Memoria is inside that purple orb or is somewhere else.

(SPOILER)The entrance to Memoria appears Iifa Tree. Though its actual location is not really said, I guess you could say Memoria is inside the memories of people, since that's what it's made of, memories.

(SPOILER)the entrance is the big floating purple ball of death above the iifa tree.

(SPOILER) You enter it through the purple thing above the Iifa tree

Good to see, you're still doing this game. Does the other guy that (besides Endless) still come here? Blitz Ace I think it was?

Looking at your leaderboard as well. Why are 3 people tied for 4th place when only 2 of them have 4 points and the other has 3?

True or False?
In order to save you must find a moogle, or use the moogle flute.

(SPOILER)False, you can also use the Save Orbs in Memoria to save your game.

(SPOILER)false, you can save at disc changes too. and I think there's some object at Oeilvert too, but it's false anyway.

(SPOILER)false. you can save a disc changes and theres some kind of orb in memoria that lets you save.

(SPOILER)True and false. What you said is true, but they're not the only ways to save. You are prompted to save when you change to another disc, and Memoria uses save spheres instead of moogles.

(SPOILER)False, you can save before you change discs and you use that thing in memoria thats not a moogle to save

Yeah, yeah, I've been gone for a while sorry guys.

2 Points to everyone except PuPu, because everyone else thought of the Disc Change time, which I forgot about.

Necron can be considered a past tribute to what Final Bosses? Extra points if you explain.

(SPOILER)he is a tribute to Zeromus in FFIV and Neo-Exdeath in FFV..to explain ^^ he relates to Zeromus in that they have similar final lines...Zeromus states he will live as long as evil exists in the hearts of men and necron states he will exist as long as there is life or death...he relates to Neo-exdeath in that they both desire to eliminate everything..exdeath says he will eliminate all memories,existance, and dimensions...and necron states he will return everything to the zero world where their is no existance
