Final Fantasy XII Trivia.

Simply, I ask a question, whoever gets it right gets to do another question and so on.

Let’s begin with one not so hard, shall we:

What’s the earliest point in the game, STORY wise, where you can get the Zodiac Spear?

In other words, name the two earliest story-advancing events getting the spear can take place between.

i pass on my question. anyone else can go.

edit: the question’s wording is kind of confusing, so just in case: it can be found in necrohol of nabudis. you find one of the espers there, zeromus, i think. it’s in a room with like, 14 chests, and the spear is in there.

IIRC.

Where can you find an Archadian Gentry that STAYS an "Archadian Gentry" when you talk to them?

Didn’t last long, did it~
SHRINE SI 1408

Sorry, that guy’s title isn’t "Gentry".

In Archades/Old Archades everyone is an "Archadian Gentry" or "Ardent" until you talk to them. However, someone keeps their Archadian Gentry name. I probably should have said it was somewhere in the city.

In Archades/Old Archades everyone is an "Archadian Gentry" or "Ardent" until you talk to them. However, someone keeps their Archadian Gentry name. I probably should have said it was somewhere in the city.

You forgot "Archadian Vulgar". Anyway, there is a man in the "Grand Archade" area (you have to talk to the lady that takes you from the streets to the subway station looking area to get there) who is talking about traveling. He is talking to some woman up against a wall. He is the one who doesn’t change is name from "Archadian Gentry".

In Balfonheim there was a miffed moogle who was complaining about the chocobo renting prices. How much does he pay when he finally gets his "chocobo" ride?

who are the two characters that disguise themselves using fake names?

Larsa as Lamont was the other one.

EDIT: Gabranth would also work… pretending to be Basch in the beginning.

And yeah, Gabranth as Basch.

And there would be Vayne, disguising himself as mister Good Guy at the beginning of the game. 😛 (just kidding)

I’m sure you’re mistaken there.

The only themes I never heard in the game that are on the OST are:

woah! im pretty sure you got them all…

i cant give all of the blues sorry.
i need another punishment.

🙁

1: Chocobo FFXII Arrange ver. 1
2: Mission Start
3: Mission Failed
4: A Small Happiness
5: You’re Really a Child
6: A Small Bargain

Five of those are correct, "You’re Really a Child" is played when Vaan asks Fran her age.

And Hynad, there are six.

Checking the exact location of those songs. I’ll update as I manage to locate the exact spots.

I don’t have my PS2 right now, but I think Abyss plays in an optional dungeon (or an optional PART of a dungeon).

I know the faq you use, and you should realize that even the author states that it is not complete.

Is it still on Zak’s question?

A Small Happiness
Mission Start
Mission Failed
A Small Bargain
Chocobo FFXII Arrange Ver.1

Checking the exact location of those songs. I’ll update as I manage to locate the exact spots.

I don’t have my PS2 right now, but I think Abyss plays in an optional dungeon (or an optional PART of a dungeon).

I know the faq you use, and you should realize that even the author states that it is not complete.

Hynad, I actually just played through the game so I could take down when each track is played. I barely used that FAQ. I know which one you have in mind, I did refer to it once or twice when having trouble figuring out what’s played in certain places. But that was only a last resort, like if I sat through a scene and wasn’t able to work out what everything I heard in it was when I was playing, I’d just listen to it on youtube and compare it to BlueLaguna.

AND I was hoping to prove the Faq wrong about the tracks not featured in the game, but amazingly, even after doing everything there is to do in the game, I did not hear any of them.

Though, I DID find some references that that FAQ was missing. He was right in saying it was incomplete. But, having just played through the game in search of them, I can testify that they aren’t there.

So in that case, Hynad, where exactly is the "Small Happiness" fadeout? Youtube link, plz. I believe all scenes in the game have been youtubed, so, find me the link.

I know that when Kytes leaves the sewers and that conversation after the Rat-hunting, you hear "Dalmasca Estersand", and that wasn’t mentioned in the faq, for one.

In Balfonheim there was a miffed moogle who was complaining about the chocobo renting prices. How much does he pay when he finally gets his "chocobo" ride?

wait a minute, i havnt played this game for a long time but wasnt it that chicken thing he got instead of a chocobo? O.O srry my memory is fuzzy so the only thing that gave me this idea was that u wrote "finally gets his "chocobo" ride?" so forgive me if im wrong :S

Yes, it was a cockatrice. But, he referred to it as a chocobo, so thats why I said "chocobo" with the quotes.

On a side note,I think that the other questions have been answered too, so why doesn’t someone ask another.

What exact items are needed to be sold in order to make the ‘Sunflower’ (aka Tournesol) available in the Bazaar?

As for making these, the grand totals stack up to selling: 2 Scarletite, 4 Damascus Steel, 4 Hell-Gate’s Flame, 2 Soul Powder, 4 Wargod’s Band, 3 High Arcana, 12 Snake Skin, 6 Serpent Eye, 1 Empyreal Soul, and finally 1 Gemsteel.

Phew, that was a mouth full. Though, this question is probably so easy for me since it is what I am trying to make now in the game.

Is it only us playing now?

Is it only us playing now?

It seems that way. But, as long as anyone wants to play, I am game for it. As for a question:

What items must be sold for the Wyrmhero Blade to appear in the bazzar?

If I remember correctly, Omega Blade, God Slayer’s Badge and Lu Shang’s Badge?

There are three outcomes for this. The amount of ingredients you give her changes the race of the traveler.

What are the ingredients you need in order to make it so the traveler is a Moogle? (The Moogle is the result you get by acquiring all the ingredients)

Bonus points for naming the items you receive if you get the Moogle!

13 is the maximum number of ingredients you can give her, yes. The Nidhog’s skin counts for 3 of those. But can you name the other ingredients? I’ll give a clue. There are 5 of one thing, 2 of another, and 3 of something else..ultimately adding up to 13, including the Nidhog’s skin.

You’re right about the items. You do indeed get the Barheim Key and a Golden Amulet.

But I didn’t know you can change the patient’s race. So, I don’t know…

And Slavka how dare you. There is no "weathervein" it’s called the Windvane.

Correct! Your turn!

So whoever got it correct, ask the next question already.

Shut up.

There is actually 3 Semclam shells.

But I didn’t know you can change the patient’s race. So, I don’t know…

There are 5 actually. 2 on the village shore, and 3 along the coast in the Banks of Nebra.

Oh, and Zak, I could have sworn the guy said ‘windvein’ when I read it. I guess I wasn’t much attention, heh.

One guy is Roh’kenmu. Another is Otto?

Your turn!

Oh, and Zak, I could have sworn the guy said ‘windvein’ when I read it. I guess I wasn’t much attention, heh.

HE DID! You gave the guy credit for saying "weathervein".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_vane

It clearly states "A weather vane, also called a wind vane, is a movable device attached to an elevated object such as a roof for showing the direction of the wind."

I did realize my mistake, but I did not say anything because I figured that he knew what I meant.

You got it! Your turn.

What’s the MAXIMUM number your Quickening chain combo can be WITHOUT getting a concurrence (i.e. Inferno, Ark Blast, Torrent, etc.)? And how do you do it?

1 level 1
4 level 2
4 level 3

Uhhh…While I loved the idea of a question that makes you think, I am better at solving those than asking them. So that means that I will have to ask just another boring question: What is the most expensive license on the license board, and how much LP does that license cost?

So, here we go, what are five ways to get a Ribbon?

How many moogle apprentices in the Salikawood are you supposed to find for the Moogle Boss?

You get it by completing the bestiary.

Though I remembered it was the bestiary completion (cause he was who I got LAST), I couldn’t remember the title itself for the life of me.

How many hunt noticeboards are there throughout Ivalice? And what are the locations of them?

If you can name the place as well as the town/city. You get extra points.

This isn’t that hard a question. It just may require some exploration! Get your XII copies out people! 😉

But anyway I believe they have them in all the *BIG* Cities (those with every kind of shop and an aerodrome). That being:

Rabanastre
Archades
Bhujerba
Nalbina
Balfonheim

And other than those, there’s the one in the Phon Coast.

So, that’s 6. 7 if you count Montblanc, so I’m not sure which answer you’re looking for, but I named them all so I believe that should be good enough.

You have:-

Rabanastre – The Sandsea
Nalbina – Jajim Bazaar
Bhujerba – The Cloudborne (where you’re taken for telling people not to believe Ondore’s lies!)
Phon Coast – Hunter’s Camp
Archades – Granch’s Requisites
Balfonheim Port – The Whitecap (Incedently, this happens to be one of my favorite places in the game. It’s the kind of place, that if i were a NPC in a game, I’d like to spend my time :p)

Your turn, Zak! 🙂

After defeating the ‘Diabolos’ mark, where does the key the boy dropped end up?

Which of the Espers were you required, by story-line, to get?

?

Have you ever done that or seen anyone do that? Youtube proof?

I don’t think that’s possible because as far as I remember, Cid is invincible once Famfrit is out, until Famfrit is dead.

I may be thinking of a different guy. But I’m associating him with the Earth Tyrant. Is it the guy you speak to to start the Earth Tyrant quest?

I don’t think he was anywhere in Archades, if he was I’d remember his name getting changed.

And if his location has something to do with the Vyraal… well, I’m pretty sure the other place is not anywhere in Cerobi Steppe. He’s not anywhere in Sochen… was he near one of the save points at Tchita Uplands?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure you meet him before the event starts, right? And… that would be before going to Archades, because after you do everything at Draklor it takes you straight to Balfonheim and the event is available.

Can’t anyone else take a guess? It’s only me and Zak who have tried on this one.

Ugh, I can’t even muster up what would be a sensible guess. And It’s frustrating because I have a pretty good question to ask.

Oooo… I think I remember. Mt. Bur Omisace??

And the list is of… weapons that it is only possible to have one of.

uh…

Mythril Sword, Mythril Blade, Danjuro, Grand Mace, Euclid’s Sextant, Sword of Kings, Treaty Blade, Ragnarok, Excalibur, Koga Blade, Iga Blade, Holy Rod, Rod of Faith, Staff of the Magi, Lead Bolts & Dark Shot.

:3

uh…

Mythril Sword, Mythril Blade, Danjuro, Grand Mace, Euclid’s Sextant, Sword of Kings, Treaty Blade, Ragnarok, Excalibur, Koga Blade, Iga Blade, Holy Rod, Rod of Faith, Staff of the Magi, Lead Bolts & Dark Shot.

:3

Only 7 of those are correct, the ones I bolded.

First of all I asked for weapons, not ammo (though the two ammos you mentioned are available on Cerobi Steppe an infinite amount of times)

Zodiac Spear can be gotten with the Diamond Armlet in a regenerating chest in the Henne Mines an infinite amount of times, though 1/1000 chance each but still not finite!
Euclid’s Sextant and Holy Rod are also in regenerating chests in Cerobi Steppe.
Danjuro is hard to get, but it’s dropped by a monster that can be fought an infinite amount of times, so technically the weapon is also infinite. Same with the Iga and Koga Blades (there’s another Iga Blade in Garamsythe anyway) they are dropped by the Ash Wyrm and the Bogey (or whatever the Lich-monster in the Zertinan Caverns is).
As for Staff of the Magi, Luxollid is not a trophy rare game so you can fight it over and over again and get more Staffs of the Magi.
Finally Mythril Sword can be dropped by Omega Mark XII, for some reason.

So 10 more…

Are you sure there are 17? 16 is all that I could find/remember.

Unless TWO guides I’m looking at are forgetting a means of getting this thing, I’m pretty sure you can only get one.

Perhaps you thought you already said it but didn’t?

Arcturus,
Artemis Bow,
Durandal,
Excalibur,
Grand Mace,
Mythril Blade,
Orochi,
Ragnarok,
Rod Of Faith,
Sagittarius,
Scorpion Tail,
Sword of Kings,
Tournesol,
Treaty Blade,
Volcano,
Whale Whisker,
Wyrmhero Blade,

On another note, I can’t believe I said Artemis Bow twice…that’s just my dumb luck to not see it and make a fool of myself, hahaha.

You got it! That’s 17… you didn’t say Orochi before, that’s what I was looking for. Did you think you said it when you didn’t? Bring on another question!

Where is there a reference to Vaan stealing the Imperial’s coin pouch in the scene where you first meet Penelo?

Penelo: What do you mean “yours”? You’ve been stealing again. What happens if they catch you?

-and-

Penelo: I thought that this money was the people of Dalmasca’s property. The Imperials stole it from us, so it’s only fair that we take it back.

While both of these point out the fact that he stole the pouch from the imperial (plus the fact that he is carrying the pouch), I am sure that the one you were looking for is the second quote I have.

There is another reference later in the game.

Clue #1 :

It involves July The Streetear

In the weapon store found in Archades, you meet July again(You help her outside Nalbina early in the game). She thanks you for the help you gave her, and gives you something. If you talk to her again, you hear that she is about to start work investigating the snatching of an Imperial’s coin purse back in Rabanastre.

I don’t remember the entire conversation, but we as the player know that it’s the coin purse Vaan stole.

Yay, useless knowledge.

Anyone gonna do one??

Where can you meet an NPC named "Rek’s Friend" ?

Your turn, Zak.

Where in the game is there an FFIV reference?

Okay then, this one might be easy. What Magick/Technick is exclusive to Piscodaemon?

Well, it’s Fog btw. Zak gets it cause he’s the only one that guessed.

Okay. This may be a little tricky. In which location in the game does the music change after you beat a certain Mark? As in, it’s different before and after you kill this Mark.

But also, I’m not even talking about during the battle. Before the battle even takes place, it’s one thing. Then after the battle is won, it’s something else.

Also the Hydro is a boss, not a mark.

Also the Hydro is a boss, not a mark.

Mark? You never said anything about that. 😕

Okay. This may be a little tricky. In which location in the game does the music change after you beat a certain Mark? As in, it’s different before and after you kill this Mark.

I do believe that this says "mark" twice. Hmmmm, as for the question, would it be the Giza Village during the rainy season? I seem to remember something changing after you beat the Croakadile and show the man the ring.

I will add a hint. The place where the music changes is different from location where the battle triggering that is.

the location at least changes because it’s during an airship trip from one city to another, or is that too obvious and not the right answer?

makes me want to go down to my dad’s motor home and get my third ps2(others were gifted or thrown away in fits of confusion) buy a used copy and play it over again..

Also, the airship played the same thing before the hunt took place. The one in question, doesn’t.

Let me lay it out. The place plays one thing before a certain hunt is even available. Once the hunt is over and done with, it changes.

after defeating the mark the area’s music turns all tranquil until you go back into the rest of the Ridorana Cataract dungeon area?

What the hell, I’ll give it to you since I find it difficult to imagine you actually meant the Behemoth King from the Feywood, seeing as you’re talking about Mt. Bur Omisace and the statue.

But yes, beating Fafnir changes the music in Mt. Bur Omisace. It changes it from "White Room" to "Abandoning Power", or the other way around.
I will add, however, that defeating Judge Bergan also changes Bur Omisace’s music. Whatever it was when you first arrive there is the same piece that’s played after you defeat Fafnir, and something different is played there in between those two events.

Anyway, your go.

All Espers come into battle with at least one status effect on them: Libra. Of all of the other status effects there is only one which is exclusive to an Esper (meaning only one Esper automatically has this on him/her when he/she is summoned). Which Esper gets this and what is the status effect?

Oh wow, that’s it. Cuchulainn comes with Reflect, Protect, Shell, Bravery, and Libra, with him being the only one with Bravery. And here I had thought that I had a question that would take a while to be answered.

And the Paramina Rift where you fight him technically is a different place from Mt. Bur-Omisace…

Haha, that it is. 🙂

Where can you find a NPC known as ‘Boonswaggled Book-Keeper’?

I’m gonna guess Lowtown, people there had funny names.

He’s on one of the public airships – you just have to find which route.

So, as far as airships go, there would be a total of FIVE different environments and groups of NPCs to meet, one for each of the five places. So, my guess is, any ship going to Balfonheim?

I guess you could give it to Agent if that’s true, but I gave a more precise answer 😛
It wouldn’t be just Archades to Balfonheim, it would be anywhere to Balfonheim.

Or… how about this? Whichever route ultimately ends up getting attacked by Deathgaze?

Hah, and I forgot… there’s six different airship scenarios. The five locations, and attacked by Deathgaze.

Okay… in Archades, what would the Family-minded girl rather watch than the Mummer’s performance?

And it wasn’t even cheatable using Google! I tried to find the exact quote myself but couldn’t find a transcript anywhere, but yes I remembered it was something along the lines of the mating dance of the Malboro and that’s the exact answer I was looking for.

As for my question, try this:

Where was the following quote said (and who said it)?

"We are the arbiters of our own destiny."

Well then I guess Luxollid.

For the record, Rare Game give EXP and LP, it’s only Bosses and Marks that give only LP.

Much like the Zodiac Spear, where can you find a chest very early in the game that does NOT reappear, but you get cheap junk if you open it then, which screws you out of easily getting a very rare piece of equipment that there’s a way to get easily if you wait until you have the Diamond Armlet to touch it? (not permanently missable obviously, there are other harder means of getting this).

But anyway yes, that’s correct! Wow, someone really knows their FFXII. There’s an Iga Blade in the Garamsythe Waterway in one of the areas you pass during one of your first treks through there, and you can screw yourself out of if you don’t wait until the DA, which like the Zodiac Spear you also have no way of knowing. Only other ways to get that are 50-50 Pilgrim’s Door (that or Koga which is also rare) or hunting Bogeys in Zertinan.

Next question!

What item is buyable before you obtain the Treaty Blade and after Sky Fortress Bahamut appears, but not in the period between the two events?

The dialogue of the Rabanastrans changes at certain points in the game. After leaving for Jahara, when is the next time this happens?

Then what about aftr you save Mjrn in the henne mines and u go back to Eruyt village.

I’ll give you a hint: it’s far later than you’d think.

What colours are Balthier’s ‘twisted metal’ earrings?

maybe that was already mentioned.

i answered because wolfmaster913 wasn’t responding

Libra can be poached from Lindbur Wolf.

Where can you find an NPC that says the line ‘don’t become another statistick’?

When he says ‘don’t become another statistick’, he’s warning you away from a nearby dangerous place.

Rabanastre
Nalbina
Archades
Old Archades
Balfonheim
…Giza village?
…Jahara?

There is a Sainikah (sp?) in Bhujerba, who, at a certain point in the game, warns you away from Lhusu Mines. I guess the question was a bit too obscure, but that quote always stuck with me.

Anyway, Centrecore7989’s question.

Okay, let’s see here.. I’m not terribly far into the game, so I can only ask things pertaining to the earlier segments, but I’ll see if I can come up with something..

Early in the game, when you first visit Giza Plains, what is the name of the boy who is lost from the camp?

There is a reference to FFV’s villain, Ex-Death, in FFXII, made by an NPC – where are they, and what is the reference?

I know that aside from the Zodiac Spear, the last area of the Henne Mines does contain a whole lot of chests in the last screen with rare valuable items.

But since that’s already been said and I think I have a slightly better answer, I’m gonna guess the Cerobi Steppe. Every chest there has a very rare chance at a valuable item.

The Henne Mines do too have many valuable treasures including the Zodiac Spear, but the Cerobi Steppe has so much more. About 8-10 in every area.
Your question Zak.

Okay, I have an interesting question.

What’s the earliest point in the game, story-wise, where you can technically obtain the Tournesol? As in, what’s the last mandatory thing you have to do before it becomes technically possible for the Tournesol to be made, without moving further along and limiting yourself to what’s already open?

I’m looking for a very very specific point. Some of you might not believe me about the answer…

I remember that the earliest time it can be obtained is before Giruvegan. One of the ingredients required for Serpentarius(one of the Tournesol’s ingredients) is a Serpent Eye.
Here comes what I think you’re asking. The Serpent Eye can be obtained from the snakes(Basilisks i think they’re called?) in the lower part of the Feywood, which is blocked by Mist. That Mist goes away when it comes time to visit Giruvegan, giving you access to the snakes and their eyes. Am I right?

I won’t say if it’s earlier or later though.

But everything you said about Serpent Eyes and when the shrines start working is true, Serpent Eyes from the Grey Molter does indeed work, and the shrines do start to work after the Phon Coast gate is fixed.

However, that’s not quite the earliest point for the Tournesol (again, not saying whether it’s too early or too late).

Keep thinking…

Niether are correct anyway.

Niether are correct anyway.

I suppose…

And I really think you should give this one up. Personally I’ve been searching the whole internet for clues on what you may be asking. At first, it was just out of curiosity and I figured if I did find the answer I wouldn’t post it. But I honestly can’t figure out what you want to hear! This is a nice question indeed.
I actually thought that the high seraph got it right. But after you said it wasn’t, I really don’t know what you may be asking.

And I’m not giving this one up, seeing as a lot of you seem to be thinking on the right track and one of the guesses was really close.

And what I’m looking for is simply what the last mandatory event/boss/foot-setting-in thing you have to do, before everything you need to make the Tournesol becomes available on an infinite level (as opposed to Hunt rewards, I mean, you get a Serpent Eye after beating Marlith, but that’s not good enough as it’s only one). Like in your "before Giruvegan" guess, "after Rafflesia" would have been what I was looking for, since you need to do that to access that part of the Feywood, which is a little different from merely "after Draklor".

But anyway Smarty, keep searching whatever it is. Considering the guesses that have been submitted so far, I do have faith that someone will get it. It’s just, this is the kind of question I’d rather avoid giving hints on unless asked something.

EDIT: Slavka, good thinking, but incorrect… you’re missing something… not gonna say if it’s too early or too late.

Where else can you get Soul Powder? Ixtab, but that’s only one. Even if I get the Empyreal Soul from Montblanc, in which case I need to obtain the High Guardian clan rank, I still need to make two more, each requiring Soul Powder…

Eh, I give up for now. Maybe I’ll get a brainwave later.

You’re in VERY hot water, and this is almost the correct answer, but you’re wrong about one thing. I won’t say what, but everything you stated in this post is true except for one thing. I’ll probably give it to you if no one corrects it since you’ve got part of it.

But since you’re so close, I’ll give a hint. It can be made at some point BEFORE Draklor.

I might give it to you if no one gets it.

No, keep thinking… you can get the Sandalwood chop before Draklor but it has nothing to do with the Hunt Club.

But yeah, you are all very warm.

For the record Slavka missed the fact that Soul Powders can be gotten infinitely from Etems as well, which are obviously way later in the part of the Henne Mines you can’t go until you have 10 Espers, so obviously not that. But yes, that, Vorres, and Ixtab hunt (which is limited so not qualified for this question) are the only ways to get Soul Powder.

But, when exactly is the earliest? You are all missing something BIG… though judging from your posts and Slavka’s, my guess would be that you simply didn’t know this. As I promised I’ll state the answer in a few hours.

You guys are correct about Soul Powder’s being the last thing to become available and mark the earliest point, because everything else, a few of which were guessed, can mostly be accessed on an infinite level after the Dawn Shard, after Lente’s Tear (Damascus Steel or Hell’s Gate Flame), and after the Phon Coast gate is repaired (Serpent Eye, that’s when the shrines become active and you can reach Grey Molter).

And since Slavka was the first to mention that fact that you need Vorres, I’ll give her the question. As I said, she was correct about the limited ways to obtain Soul Powder, and you do need to start the Hunt Club event in order to get it to appear.

BUT… none of you (surprisingly) seemed to know when you can start the Hunt Club. It first becomes available not by having been through Draklor, and not by having gotten the Sandalwood Chop either. The Hunt Club first becomes available as soon as you beat the "???" fake mark, that being the Mandragoras in Sochen Cave Palace. And you have to do that anyway. After you beat the Mandragoras, you can backtrack to Phon Coast which isn’t too far back, and activate it. Which would mark the earliest Tournesol.

Anyway, Slavka, this is yours.

Name the petitioners for the five Jovy-related hunts in Nalbina.

I know what the five hunts are for, the petitioner’s names escape me.

Where is the mark "????" found?

(psst, please give an answer in the FFX trivia so we can move on)

(pssst update IX rumble!)

And Smarty, I’ll update IX when I feel like it, thanks.

Okay… this may or may not be something a lot of people already know, but… where can you find an in-game hint about Omega Mark XII, and what you have to do to wake it up?

I reckon most of you get to it through FAQ, or luckily stumbling upon after running around in the crystal. but there is an actual subtle hint. Unlike with the Zodiac Spear and stuff.

Basch changes outfit throughout the game. How many different outfits do we see him in?

I think that’s it, but it feels like I’m missing one.

What’s the strongest weapon that can be acquired in the Dalmasca Westersand?

Edit: You get them off the Divetalons.

EDIT:
So far we’ve got Concurrences, Dark Matter,

– Quickenings
– Concurrences
– Esper Final Moves
– Dark Matter
– Knot Of Rust?
– Gravity?

Damn, that’s all I can think of. Maybe I’ll come up with more later.

I really need to get back to my save file.

Also: Can’t poison do that against enemies with REALLY high hp? In theory it should.

6 down, 4 to go. :d

What’s the strongest heavy armor that can be obtained right after the Tomb of Raithwall?

I believe the dragon is tricked by the god, and ends up with a magicked ring around his neck – just like the ring wyrms.

How many of the ‘ultimate weapons’ (Tournesol, Durandal, etc – all the weapons with the highest attack power for their given type) require a zodiac gem (eg. Libra Gem) to make in the bazaar?

Your question.

What SHOP item (weapon, magick, armour etc.) can you not actually buy, whether you have the gil or not?

I hope that makes enough sense

Anyway, yeah, someone post another question

among the six main characters, which one/s appear as an NPC you can talk to at one point or another?

among the six main characters, which one/s appear as an NPC you can talk to at one point or another?

Fran, Penelo, Baltier, Basch.

I assume you mean during hunts/marks etc. as well?

I assume you mean during hunts/marks etc. as well?

I really don’t know what you mean by ‘hunts/marks etc.’ but you got it right. The two guys plus Fran you can talk to at Bhujerba during your "I’m Basch blabla" scandal, the sky pirates in the Sandsea and at the Aerodrome right before you fly to Bhujerba, and Penelo in the area near the Sandsea before taking your very first mark (I wonder why I went backwards?:s). Your turn.

I didn’t know that Gilgamesh ruled any city

Is this, perhaps, what you were looking for?

Is this, perhaps, what you were looking for?

Is this, perhaps, what you were looking for?

That is correct. Square Enix acknowledged many historical legends in their games and ‘The Epic of Gilgamesh’ is used across nearly every FF game from 5 onwards.

I agree, but seeing as nothing in the game seemed relevant, I decided to try some mythology. Also, sorry about the double post, my internet connection got reset while I was trying to post and it apparently posted twice. As for the next question, how about something definitely related to the game?

What is the prize package for winning 100 races against Rikken, Raz, and Elza in Balfonheim Port?

And is it an Unpurified Ether?

When using the invis/bubble glitch its possible to bring down the ultimate weapon in roughly a 1/2 hour. How long does it take with Yiazmat?

Yeah, sorry.

When you have bubble and invis active on the same character, Omega MK XII and Yiazmat cannot target you.

What is the maximum number of items dropped from an enemy (item bags) that can be on the screen at once?

wolfmaster, the question’s yours.

Heh, I really suck at asking the questions. This isn’t the first time I have asked one that never got the right answer. I was just passing the torch on so that we could get some change in here. Besides, I really just like answering them.

The question was just hers…she gave it to non-canon sousaphone

It really doesn’t matter who takes the next question, as far as I am concerned. non-canon sousaphone just happened to be the closest to the right answer. Also, I happen to be a guy. I picked my avatar because I really like anime chicks. I find it very flattering that I come off as a girl, though. ;P

What is the only undead creature to be healed by curative magic and where do you fight it?

Sorry, there are more…

Where do you find the person you speak to hunt down the Wraith mark.

Yep, there are five costumes and between the two of you I think you’ve got them. You can both fight to the death for the next question! :p

I don’t have any ideas for questions so we won’t be needing those wiffle ball bats. 😀

What are the two main castes in Vierra society? Can’t come up with anything better right now:p

Anyway to give this thread some push forward some easier question. What is the earliest time possible to make Tournesol?:)

Free question.

Either way it’s your turn for getting 8, not that anyone else is playing at the moment… 🙁

Final Battle of FFXII is considered to be a tribute to a certain game. Which game and why?

Free question.

Despite appearing as the name of an airship in FFXII, which traditional FF summon is also generally regarded to also sort-of appear as an Esper as well (in form but not directly in name)?

Hint: the Esper’s backstory strongly hints at this summon in question.

Summon: Shiva

Your go.

Have at it

Another Esper related question… Sorry xD

Chaos (FFI)
Mateus (FFII – apparently this is what Emperor Palamecia’s real name is)
Famfrit (FFIII – I’ve heard this refers to the Cloud of Darkness somehow, but I have no idea if that’s true or not. In any event, it was also one of the Totemas from FFTA but I included it here as relevant to this question)
Zeromus (FFIV)
Exodus (FFV – a literal transliteration of ‘X-death’)
Ultima (FFT – in the original PSX version of FFT ‘Altima’ was in fact Ultima badly mistranslated)

btw Some fans also claim, that Shemhazai is somewhat connected to Ultimecia from FFVIII, but it’s not so clear like with other Espers.

This should be a nice easy question:

As is well known, one of the ‘forbidden’ treasure urns required to gain the Zodiac Spear is found in Rabanastre Lowtown. If you do decide to sacrifice gaining the spear later and instead swipe the urn’s contents, what are the possible items you can gain from it? (You don’t need to mention all items, just one of the possibilities will do :)).

And when I first opened that chest the very first time I played it gave me Gil. I think it was in the 700 region.

But you want like items, not Gil
For your answer?

I would assume knot of rust cause those things were everywhere.

Anyway, you got it so your go jfloyd. 🙂

why is ashe so important in this game?
