As for the Squall's father question, I believe that one of the answers is "there's no strong indication", not "there's no hard evidence." A story can strongly indicate that something is true, without providing hard evidence of it. And that answer is definitely wrong, since any perceptive FF8 player should find a multitude of clues indicating who Squall's father is, which, together, amount to a strong indication. It's clearly something that the game developers intended for the player to discover, and not just a bunch of game elements coincidentally pointing to the same conclusion.

As for the Yuna's appearance question, finding the best answer isn't merely a matter of personal opinion. One of these characters is remarked upon in-game to resemble Yuna, and the others aren't. So that should be a fairly objective determining factor.

Of course which items to use in battle always depends on your personal preference, but for both of the questions where I asked which item was most useful in a certain battle, I was looking for the item that, if abused, would guarantee victory for any party strong enough to make it to the battle in the first place, regardless of stats, or the availability of other powerful items, special moves, or equipment. In both cases, there is only one answer representing an item of such extreme power.

If you are good at solving analogies, the answer to the analogy question should be extremely unambiguous.

That just leaves the "challenges" question, which I admit may be a little bit debateable. But the answer I'm looking for is the challenge which requires the most strategic planning, and knowledge of the game to pull off, and can't be completed merely through extreme levelling and character-powering combined with some basic knowledge about how to put together a powerful battle party under the specified limitations.

I tried to include a lot of diverse question types. So for some of them, I did enter into the territory of possible ambiguity, but I don't think I crossed the line too badly. I asked about FF7 more than FF9 because it is a more essential game to the history and culture of the series, and also because I happen to like it. I was tempted to add about 10 more Final Fantasy Tactics questions than I did, for the same reason, but I didn't want to absurdly penalize the overall score of players who hadn't played Tactics.

I would contend that someone with a thorough overall knowledge of the FF series SHOULD be able to answer more difficult questions about FF7 than about FF9, because FF7 itself is more ingrained into FF lore.
