EoFF plays trivia! FFVI style

So, Goldenboko used to hold these trivia contests a while age, and here is the return of them in time for this Glorious Eyes on Plays. (A Jewish on time is always a bit late :p)

You are not allowed to search the internet to find answers for these questions. There is no way I can control you, but I trust you guys. Play fair. If I suspect people of searching for answers, I'll give you warnings and probably make the questions a lot harder.

So here are the rules, copied from Gobo himself.
[q=Goldenboko]One of these threads was once closed because of off topic chatter, so no of topic chatter UNLESS its paired with an answer or a question about the thread... (I prefer it if you keep chatter to a minimum.)

Ex

OOC: lol yeah right.

Hey qwerty, I thought _____ was right as well

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 a little while and declare all who answered it correctly with points... please though hide your answers in spoiler tags, unmarked answers=No points. (Also It makes me have to toss the question if it's not marked :()[/q]

Remember, spoiler tags are the :eek: button in the area above where you type replies.

Question #1: Terra is the first main character to be playable. What are the names of her partners. Extra point for SNES and GBA translations.

Awesome idea!

(SPOILER)SNES: Vicks and Wedge
GBA: Biggs and Wedge

Y'all can thank the Event Comittee for this ;D

(SPOILER)Biggs and Wedge

edit:

(SPOILER)SNES - Vicks and Wedge
GBA - Biggs and Wedge

(SPOILER)Biggs and Wedge, Vicks and Wedge, can't remember which way round x)

I made a post but accidentally did quote tags instead of spoilers so i edited it out quickly so i could do it again slowly but then the forum chose that exact moment to explode so i took a nap. It was a set up i tells ya!!

(SPOILER)Vicks and Wedge
GBA- Biggs and Wedge

(SPOILER)Vicks/Biggs and Wedge

(SPOILER)SNES - Vicks and Wedge
GBA - Biggs and Wedge
Also, isn't "????" the first main playable character? She doesn't really get named until afterwards... Just speculating :D

Question 1 results!
2 points for Flying Mullet, blackmage_nuke, The Turk and Jiro.
1 point for Goldenboko, Scrumpleberry, The Man.

No point for Jiro's trivia, not part of the question. To get 2 points you had to mention that Biggs is the PSX or GBA translation while Vicks is the SNES translation.


Question 2!
Edgar, king of Figaro uses Tools in Battle. What Tool does he have when he joins the party for the First Time?

(SPOILER)Auto-Crossbow!

(SPOILER)SNES - AutoCrossbow
GBA-Auto Crossbow

(SPOILER)Crossbow

I can't remember exactly what it's called hope that's close enough D:

(SPOILER)Autocrossbow I think...

(SPOILER)Well, you have to buy 2 of the autocrossbow, bioblaster and noiseblaster early in the game. The autocrossbow is the only useful one, so I think you have to pay for it..? Not sure. I'll say noiseblaster, it's the most useless.

(SPOILER)AutoCrossbow

In your previous question you didn't specify that we were supposed to say which translation was from which version D;

(SPOILER)auto-crossbow. arbaletes des refallage or something in the french gba! xD

(SPOILER)Autocrossbow. Though technically, since all Tools are merely added to the item list and not exactly "equipped", Edgar doesn't really "have" the Autocrossbow. He sort of gives it to the party.

(SPOILER)Auto Crossbow
Shouldn't "king" be capitalised? I'm being annoying now, aren't I? xD

(SPOILER)autocrossbow

Haha, some funny extras on this one. Also to the Man, I assumed it was inferred. I'll be more specific from now on. Also to Jiro only Factual corrections get points, not grammatical. Berry, the Noiseblaster is great against some groups of enemies (Confuse is powerful.) :p rubah, english only for points.

1 point is awarded for Autocrossbow, (can have a hyphen or a space there too.) Boko, Point goes to
Flying Mullet, blackmage_nuke, The Turk, The Man, rubah, Denmark, Jiro, Del Murder.

Note on this question. Since this refers to GBA only content, there is a question 3B. Only answer 1 question. If you are fine with me asking more GBA version questions, then ignore 3B.
Question #3. In the Dragons Den, what is the first dragon fought, and what is the difference in that version from the original dragon?

Question #3B. In the WOR, what is used to mark the location of Duncans home?

(SPOILER)3B - A group of trees in the shape of a plus sign.

(SPOILER)3B: Actually, Duncan has two homes. His house in South Figaro where his wife still lives and his "Training Cottage" east of Narshe. His Training Cottage is marked by five trees that form a plus sign or cross and his regular home is marked by the house sprites that make up South Figaro on the map.

(SPOILER)3B: Duncan's home is in South Figaro, but his... uh, whatever it is, second home is marked by 5 trees, making a + sign.

(SPOILER)I think there are five trees in an X shape and that Duncan's house is the middle tree...

(SPOILER)3B: Well, there's a plus sign of trees where you can find Duncan himself in his house. And I think Duncan's home in South Figaro is also there in the WoR.

(SPOILER)3B: A tree! GBA only questions would be hard because I'm sure most of us have only played that one 0-1 times.

The answer for 3A is the ice dragon, of which there are four copies to fight instead of 1 in case anybody was curious. I won't ask any more Advance exclusive questions.

1 point for mentioning a tree to mark the cottage where you find the cottage. An extra point if you ALSO mentioned that Duncan has a house in South Figaro. So 1 point to blackmage_nuke, Jiro, The Turk and Del Murder. 2 points for Flying Mullet and Denmark :)

Question 4.

In the GBA remake, Leviathan was added as well as a spell that causes water Damage. Name the other abilities that have the element of Water that you can directly select to use. (I could word this better if needed. Just want to get the question up :p)

(SPOILER)Aqua Rake, Water Rondo and Bismark

(SPOILER)3B: He has some funky 'lil cross trees.

(SPOILER)aqua rake and clean sweep

(SPOILER)Aqua Rake and Water Rondo

(SPOILER)Mog's Water Rondo, Strago's Aqua Rake, and the Bismark Esper

(SPOILER)Water Rondo Dance, Bismark Esper, Water edge throwing item, Aqua Rake Lore.

(SPOILER)Aqua Rake, Water Rondo and Water Edge item

(SPOILER)Mog's Watrer Roundo dance and Gau's Aqua Rake rage

I wish I bought the GBA version now.

I don't think I can come close to winning with all these exclusives ;_;

The question isn't GBA exclusive at all. :p It's simply name commands that have a water element to them.

WHOOPS.

(SPOILER)Water Rondo, Aqua Rake

Ah, the element of Water. There attacks were Aqua Rake, Clean Sweep (Both Strago's Lores) The Esper Bismark, and throwing an Aqua Edge.
I am not counting The Water Rondo, as that is not the actual attack, El Nino is the water attack. You can't manually selest El Nino though. =/
The points are a little different this time. The max is 3 points, you get 1 point for at least 1 item, 2 for at least 2. you also get an additional point if one of your attacks was not mentioned by anybody else.

Points. 1 point for Heath, The Turk and Scrumpleberry. 2 points for Flying Mullet, Blackmage_Nuke, Denmank and Jiro. Del Murder Gets 3 points for being the only person to remember the Clean Sweep Lore.

Question 5
You want to get Locke because you want to Steal as much stuff as possible, so he is your top priority. However, you also want to fight the least amount of bosses possible, but at the same time. Other than Celes, what other characters would you have in your party?
You will get 3 points if you also answer this question to get Locke with 2 full parties.

Clean sweep bitches!

(SPOILER)You would have Celes, Edgar and Setzer in your party if you wanted to fight the least. The two full parties with least amount of bosses to fight would be:

Celes
Edgar
Setzer
Sabin
Gogo
Gau
Mog
Cyan (you have to fight a boss but I don't think he as anything to steal, in any event I think all the other characters have at least one boss to fight)

For clarification, I'm assuming a boss fight is when the boss battle music plays. I'm also counting required bosses, i.e. not dragons.

(SPOILER)The least amount of characters you would need in your party to obtain Locke are Celes, Edgar and Setzer. They would be split into two teams of one and two and navigate the Phoenix Cave to find Locke. It would be a bitch but you could do it.

As for the least amount of boss fights to take a full party to find Locke, I've sorted the remaining characters by the number of boss fights needed to obtain them:

• Sabin - no bosses
• Cyan - No bosses
• Mog - No bosses
• Gogo - No bosses
• Gau - no required bosses
• Relm - One boss (Chadarnook)
• Terra - One/Two bosses (Phunbaba twice)
• Strago - One boss (You must have Relm, so Chardarnook by prerequisite)
• Shadow - Two bosses (Sr. Behemoth and Undead Sr. Behemoth)
• Umaro - Two bosses (Tritoch, Umaro)

For the five remaining people to make two full parties of four characters each, you would take Sabin, Cyan, Mog, Gogo and Gau and you would not be required to fight any extra bosses.

(SPOILER)Have to have Celes, Edgar, Setzer. Two bosses (Tentacles and Dullahan).
Sabin doesn't require a boss (requires a scenario in Tzen). Cyan doesn't require a boss (requires going through Mount Zozo). Gau doesn't require a boss (get him on the Veldt). Mog doesn't require a boss (find him in Narshe). Gogo doesn't require a boss (get engulfed by that there Zone Eater).

So that's 8 characters making two full parties while fighting two bosses (which are necessary; just you try to get Locke without an airship).

Did I answer it right?

You are correct in your assumption :p

I'm passing cause I didn't understand the question until I read some answers. xD

Ditto x)

I genuinely have no idea what the answer is.

(SPOILER)Well you only need to have Celes, Edgar and Setzer. But having two full parties? Hmmm.

Celes
Edgar
Setzer
Sabin
Mog
Gau
Cyan
Gogo

I think you can get them without fighting bosses. Not sure though, I didn't fully grasp the question lol. If you want to steal you could just go with Gogo and avoid the Phoenix cave.

The correct answer is Celes, Edgar and Setzer and any of the following characters:
Sabin
Gau
Cyan
Mog
Gogo
Each of these 5 characters have no bosses needed to battle to get them, but they are all optional to get in the WOR. All the other characters have a boss fight or two that must be defeated before they join you.
3 points for Del Murder, Flying Mullet, Denmark and The Turk. Also thanks for being honest about looking at the answers Jiro and Berry, it means a lot to me :) If you have any confusion over a question, just ask. If your lucky I'll be able to respond in time and you get give an answer.

Question 6
Help! I got the Ragnarok Sword instead of the esper in Narshe and now I want to learn Ultima! What are all the other ways you can learn
the powerful Ultima Spell?

(SPOILER)Make with the Paladin Shield which you get from fighting 400 battles with the cursed shield equipped. You get the cursed shield in the coliseum or something idk.

There is also another esper I think but I am not sure.

(SPOILER)Paladin shield lets you learn Ultima. Get the Cursed shield from the dude in Narshe and fight 255 battles with it equipped. But you said ways plural so I'm guessing something else gives it to you. So I'll take a guess and say Illumina sword gives it. You get that by betting the Ragnarok sword in the coliseum.

(SPOILER)Paladin Shield is the only other way to get Ultima. Error in the wording of your question!

Oh and you get the Paladin Shield by fighting 256 battles with the Cursed Shield equipped. You can get the Cursed Shield in Narshe in the World of Ruin. It teaches Ultima x1.

(SPOILER)

I honestly cannot remember how to do it, but I know it's a pain in the ass! Just load your game and pick the esper! I'm serious, it's not worth your time trying to learn Ultima any other way!

Hmmm, if I recall you have to steal something from someone and then keep betting that something at the Collisieum to get something else, which you then bet to get something better... I think it may have something to do with a shield.... a rangarok/curse shield that you can uncurse by fighting lots....lol, I'm not sure. I never do it, I usually just go without the spell.

Okay I don't know! I've never got ultima any other way.

(SPOILER)The Paladin/Hero Shield lets any character learn Ultima, and Terra learns it automatically at level 99 I believe

Full answer is either getting the paladin shield by uncurseing the Cursed Shield, or leveling Terra to 99 where she learns it naturally. To get the first point you must mention Paladin Shield and Cursed Shield. 1 point for Scrumpleberry, Del Murder and Denmark. Jiro gets 2 points for also mentioning Terra learning it naturally. And as a note, I always get the esper, just a little extra addition to the question. :p

Question #7
In the WOB what is the item you can get instead of getting Mog during the encounter with Lone Wolf atop the mountain?

(SPOILER)I know that one! It's a gold hairpin! It's not even that useful a rellic so I don't know why Wolf made such a big fuss about it. I love that part of the game though, Lone Wolf is a legend!

(SPOILER)gold hairpin

(SPOILER)Gold Hairpin.

(SPOILER) Gold Hairpin. It may or may not be called Golden Hairpin in one of the games, but I'm just guessing

I haven't been paying attention to this, but doesn't Terra learn Ultima at level 98? Ultima's kind of pointless at such a high level though because any number of other spells will do just as much damage for less MP (though then again, the super-effectiveness of Osmose makes MP usage pretty much irrelevant as well).

oh and (SPOILER)Gold Hairpin

Terra learns Ultima at 99, but Celes learns her strongest natural spell, Meteor, at level 98. I can't believe I forgot about Terra learning Ultima naturally on the last question. I was kicking myself.

I was pretty sure both of them learned their last natural spells at level 98. Maybe it's different in different versions.

(SPOILER)Gold Hairpin

(SPOILER)Gold Hairpin

(SPOILER) Gold pin

Celes learns Meteor at level 98, Terra learns Ultima at level 99.

That was an easy question. Gold Hairpin, 1 point for The Turk, Del Murder, Denmark, Jiro, The Man, Heath, Flying Mullet, Scrumpleberry.

Question #8
What useful item is found in almost every clock throughout the world?

(SPOILER)Elixir. Protip: Every clock in the game has one except story/event clocks(stopped clock in South Figaro, Chainsaw clock, etc...) and clocks in shops.

(SPOILER)ELIXSHARRRRRRRRR and really, nearly all of them? are you kidding?

(SPOILER)elixir

Harder questions pls.

(SPOILER)Elixir- Goodness knows why. Perhaps Elixirs in addition to raising HP and MP also help clocks continue ticking, it's odd.

(SPOILER)Elixir

(SPOILER)Elixer

Nothing I love more than trivia, and no game I love more than FFVI, so I'll throw my hat into the ring too!

(SPOILER)Elixir

The answer of course is Elixer. Point to everyone who responded this round :p

Question 9. Del wants a harder question, so here it is. What is the most targets fought in a boss battle at once, and what is the boss that is fought. A boss battle is classified as when the typical boss BGM is played.

(SPOILER)The one that came in to my mind instantly was Airforce- the one you fight in the sky. There's 4 parts to it- Airforce, Speck, Laser Gun and Missiblebay. I'm not even sure if it's possible to fight all 4 sections at the same time, 3 might the most.

There's probably a boss with 5 sections later on in the game, but I'm going for Airforce still.

Damn it Del Muder! I liked the easy questions lol.

(SPOILER)Im gunna say Flame Eater with all his little balloon buddies. I think thats 5 all together. Hidon and the Hidonites mightve had more though...

(SPOILER)Hidon and his four individual Hidonites(Erebus in the GBA version), for 5 different enemies. Plus the Hidonites/Erebus can be revived for an infinite number of enemies.

EDIT: I don't know if adding to your answer is allowed, and if not, just disregard this, but it occured to me that the Flame Eater actually has 6 different targets, although the most you can target at once is only five. The Flame Eater can summon up to four Balloons at once, and sometimes will summon one Grenade instead of the four Balloons,meaning there are 6 possible targets, but only three different enemies and a maximum of five targettable enemies at once. I still give the answer to Hidon, though, because not only are his Hidonites boss-specific enemies(unlike the Balloons), but each one of the four is unique(also unlike the Balloons).

(SPOILER)Hidon + 4 Erebus/Hidonites, though Flame Eater might match that with Balloons/Bombs. Eh, one of them xD

(SPOILER)Two boss battles tie with five enemies in the battle. Flame Eater with four balloons and Hidon with four Hidonites.

(SPOILER)Wow this one is hard. I want to say Mom Bomb but that's the wrong game! I'm going to guess the fight against all the fishies when you are falling down the waterfall. I can't remember if the boss music plays the whole time but I think it does, and that counts as one continuous battle. I don't remember the name of the fish or how many there are but I'm going to guess and say 13.

This was a semi trick question, as there are two answers I would accept. The Flame eater with 4 balloons/bombs, or Hidon with his 4 Hidonites/Erebuses, for a total of 5 targets. Even if you managed to get the Airforce to deply a speck/bit, only 4 targets. the waterfall battle doesn't have the typical boss BGM, and also tops at three fish at a time. 1 point for to blackmage_nuke, espritduo, Jiro and Flying Mullet.

Question 10
Name an attack that enemies can use to eject (remove) a character from Battle. You can get two points if you name 2 different attacks, 0 points will be given if you say an attack that is incorrect, so there is a risk factor for this bonus :p

(SPOILER)sneeze

(SPOILER)Going for all the glory...Sneeze and Inhale (whatever zone eater does, I hope it's called that)

(SPOILER)Sneeze is the most common attack, but there's also Vargas's "Mortal Attack Blizzard Fist"(although that's more of a cutscene than an attack, strictly speaking), Phunbaba's BabaBreath and Zone Eater's Engulf.

(SPOILER)Sneeze. I would add Engluf, but Engluf is more of an ingest(remove) than an eject(remove) and doesn't eject anyone.

(SPOILER)Sneeze, Engulf, BabaBreath, and Vargas's "Mortal Attack! Blizzard Fist!"

How long are these up for? I always think I have longer than I do to respond, and damn work/cba keeps getting in the way of me making timely responses. I'd probably do better if I knew how long I could reasonably procrastinate and still be assured of making it in time.

Just tell yourself you have 24 hours.

24 hours give or take a few. I'll try and be timely with updates, but sometimes I get distracted by internet :p

Also I'll end this question now. There are four attacks in total that can remove a character from battle by force. They are Sneeze, which everyone got, BabaBreath, Engulf, and Blizzard Fist. Sorry Del but I can't accept Inhale, so you can't get the point for Sneeze. 1 point for Scrumpleberry and Flying Mullet, 2 for espritduo and Denmark.

Question 11
During the first visit to which town is there a young girl who walks into the bar and sits down, and upon talking to her, she says something along the lines of "Oh. kids aren't supposed to be here." and leaves.

(SPOILER)I'll say south Figaro

Man I actually do not remember that and I try to talk to all the npcs :| Oh well.

(SPOILER)South Figaro if I recall correctly....
Hm, I need to play FFVI again XD

Wow, this one's a hard one.

(SPOILER)Nikeah's bar has all of the action, so I'll go with that one.

(SPOILER)South Figaro. Sadly, the little girl is gone in the WoR, and it's implied that she died by the bartender.

(SPOILER)Tzen...total guess!

(SPOILER)South Figaro

The correct answer is South Figaro. :p It was so random that she does that xD Point for blackmage_nuke, arcanedude34, espritduo and The Man.

Question 12
Where is the first monster in a box that you can encounter, and what monster is inside it?

(SPOILER)Two Lobos in the beginner house in front of Narshe.

(SPOILER)If it's anything like FFV, it's in the beginner's house thing in Narshe, but I have no clue what it is you fight -_-

EDIT: OH! Now I remember! You fight a Silver Lobo, riiiiiight? And you don't actually get anything from the chests riiiiiiiiiiiight? Man, I remember getting so pissed at that...


Edit at 5:31, added to the answer if it's allowed ^_^;;

(SPOILER)The chest inside the right-most room in the Training Center just outside of Narshe. You fight a lone Lobo in the chest, and can open it as soon as you have control of Locke and Terra after escaping the mines.

(SPOILER)Lobo in the Beginner's Hall upon exiting Narshe Mines with Terra and Locke

(SPOILER) Lobo in the beginner house

(SPOILER)Guessing it's in the Narshe help area and it's a Lobo inside.

(SPOILER)A Lobo at that beginner's help thing

Alright guys, qwerty's flown the coup, and we don't exactly know where he is, so I'm taking over. Only problem? I don't know the answer to the last question. ;-; So that one won't count, after this, it's 100% professionalism, I swear!

Whew, that's a hard one...
(SPOILER)I think there's five, but I'm not sure of which ones: Protect, Shell, Regen, Scan, Antidote.

(SPOILER)Cure, Cure 2, Float, Slow, Haste

(SPOILER)Protect/Safe, Shell, Dispel, Cura/Cure2, and Esuna/Remedy.

(SPOILER)Uh, Esuna..Cure? lmao cannot remember

A. Mesosaur
B. Behemoth
C. Misfit
D. Apokryphos

(SPOILER)I havent even heard of Mesosaur so i'll go with that one.

Too bad this is basically the last question with FFVII starting up and all :monster:

(SPOILER)The Mesosaur, I think. I can recall almost all the monsters from the Floating Continent because they were very annoying to defeat, and the Mesosaur ain't one of them. :|

(SPOILER)Mesosaur, but I swear it had a different name in GBA

(SPOILER)That would be the Mesosaur, who appears relatively early in the World of Ruin.

(SPOILER)Mesosaur!
