FFVII Trivia HARDCORE MODE!

[Enkidoh]

You can actually hold over the Pagoda quest til disc 3 if required though, as long as you have already completed the earlier quest in Wutai with Don Cornero, to get Trine on all four Enemy Skill materia.

I've done this several times (the most recent during my playthrough on the PC version), so I know it is correct.

[Agent0042]

Yeah, I actually thought that might be the case too, but I wasn't sure personally, since I had never tried it, and I figured that the answer Yagyu was looking for was Disc 2.

[Yagyu Darkblade]

Agent0042 gave the answer I intended with the question.

I didn't know that, Enkidoh, thanks for the insight. I thought it HAD to be done on Disc 2 regardless. On my perfect FF7 file I did it on D2 without knowing it's possible to do it on D3. While not crucial, it's good to know.

Go ahead Agent.

[Agent0042]

Okay... what is the name of the peaceful kingdom in which the play at the Gold Saucer takes place, the one in which Cloud and his chosen "date" take part in?

[Darth Revan]

The Kingdom of Guardia

[Agent0042]

Somewhat close, but not quite correct.

[Enkidoh]

It's actually the Kingdom of Galdia.

I just checked a screenshot taken from the PC version to verify it.

[Agent0042]

You got it, your go!

[Enkidoh]

Okay, (a late question due to the Forum downtime, but anyway):

Name all the items you can inspect (view their names) in Dio's Showroom at Gold Saucer.

[Darth Revan]

The Magma diver suit Evangelion Unit02 wore in Neon Genesis Evangelion, as well as the Keystone. I can't remember the others though...

[Withope]

Diving Suit, Statue.

[honokasa]

The Magma diver suit Evangelion Unit02 wore in Neon Genesis Evangelion, as well as the Keystone. I can't remember the others though...

Haha! I had to go and check to see that for myself, and it does say 'D type Equipment' - Blew my mind.

But the other items are:
'Star Cup'
'Weekend Clock'
'Laugh Sapling'
'Slayers Pot'
'Chisa's Mask'
'Dio's Portrait'
'Calling Gourd'
'Zauger's Cup'
...And the keystone, depends whenever you go there.

I'm assuming the items are like ...obscure cultural references based on what they're called? Can't say I've ever heard of any of these things though, other than the NGE reference.

[Enkidoh]

You came very close Honokasa, but you're actually missing an item. But as at's now been over a week since I asked this question, I may as well wind it up.

Honokasa pretty much got most of them, save for the very first item on the right hand side: Kleine's Pot (I just checked this with screenshots of the items in question). But you got every other one correct so well done! (Good job to everyone else who tried too).

Also, there are several other items in Dio's showroom that can't be inspected, namely a big blue model airship suspended from the ceiling and two model hot air balloons in the corner. But they weren't part of the question.

Anyway, go ahead and post a question Honokasa when you're ready.

[honokasa]

Okay.

I've been thinking about a bad ass question to ask you guys all day.

Currently playing through FFVII on my psp, so I've been keeping stuff in mind whilst i play it.

And I bring you this:

On your first visit to Nibelheim, when you enter Tifa's house, upstairs there is a Sephiroth clone (one of the dudes on the black cloaks), what number tattoo does he have, and what Item does he give you?

[Darth Revan]

It's now the 5th of February, so honokasa I think it's time you give the answer and then let someone else ask a question.

[honokasa]

Yeah, It has been a week.

Anyways, It was the number 4, and he/she/it gives you the 'Platinum fist' for Tifa.

Questions open to whoever asks first.

[Darth Revan]

Ok, here's a question:

You can acquire a handful of items by playing a tune on Tifa's piano in her house (Using the buttons on the controller. The song is the main theme to FFVII). What are the items, and extra credit if you can also tell the method to get them?

[Meltigemini]

1 gil, Elemental materia and the Final Heaven limit break.

I know you can only get the Final Heaven with Tifa in your party on disc 2 or 3. 1 gil can come randomly if you just play any time without Tifa there. Not sure about how you get the Elemental...

[Darth Revan]

Meltigemini is correct, and gets the extra credit as well. Next question is yours.

To get the Elemental Materia, on Disk 2 when Tifa is the party leader and play the tune again.

[Meltigemini]

Free question to whoever wants it, can't think right now ;x

[Agent0042]

Okay-- Final Fantasy VII contains excerpts from what oratorio written by Joseph Haydn?

[FF1WithAllThieves]

Die Schöpfung, more commonly known by its English title The Creation.

[Agent0042]

And that is correct. Your go.

[FF1WithAllThieves]

Alright, continuing the theme of choral music, from what text, with a well-known musical setting by Carl Orff, are the words to One-Winged Angel taken?

[Enkidoh]

That's easy - Carmina Burana, including part of the well-known O Fortuna.

Note however that this was only the original version of OWA that borrowed Orf's lyrics - Tetsuya Nomura wrote new lyrics for Advent: One-Winged Angel in Advent Children. I guess Uematsu must have gotten into hot-water with that little bit of plagiarism.
