oh true its an Accelerator, my bad...

there is only one GF that is completely missable if you don't do the right thing at one point. which is it and how can you miss it?

**Meltigemini** · 04-24-2011, 12:31 PM

Cerberus, if you don't fight it in Galbadia Garden on disc 2.

**Enkidoh** · 04-24-2011, 03:06 PM

That's not correct - Cerberus can be drawn from Gargantura in Ultimecia's Castle in disc 4 if you missed it the first time.

I think 7alentine means Gilgamesh, as you can't 'gain' him if you hadn't already defeated Odin before reaching the end of disc 3 (Odin can be gained on disc 4 if you didn't gain him earlier however).

**7alentine** · 04-24-2011, 09:37 PM

nope, sorry it isnt Gilgamesh

**Enkidoh** · 04-25-2011, 12:03 AM

The Brothers then? It's optional to gain them and completely missable if you don't go deeper into the Tomb of the Unknown King when you're there on General Caraway's little collection errand. However, I thought even if you missed it then you could easily return there and gain the GF at a later date (even in disc 4, as I'm sure the Tomb isn't sealed off due to it being a dungeon and not a town).

Other than that, I have no idea.

I've got it now - if you don't talk to Cid before going to Timber you won't get the Magical Lamp and so you can't get Diablos.

**7alentine** · 04-25-2011, 11:28 AM

Multigemini got it! well done

**Meltigemini** · 04-29-2011, 05:16 AM

How can you get a Power Generator if you missed the one in Lunatic Pandora, and under what circumstances can you get it?

**7alentine** · 04-29-2011, 08:02 AM

you Mug a high-level Blitz

**Meltigemini** · 04-29-2011, 09:03 AM

That's true, but there's a condition that has to be met to be able to do that, what is it?

Or to put it another way, there are circumstances where it is impossible to mug a Power Generator from a Blitz, how can you ensure you're able to get it?

**enenen** · 04-29-2011, 10:25 AM

You can't have Rare Item junctioned.

**Meltigemini** · 04-29-2011, 03:22 PM

That's right - your turn enenen.

**7alentine** · 05-04-2011, 06:02 AM

if enenen hasn't posted by this time tomorrow someone else have a go.

EDIT: ok no-one posted a question so I'll ask one.

There are two ways to obtain the GF's Quezacotl and Shiva, what are they?

**Darth Revan** · 05-08-2011, 10:18 AM

IIRC, you can obtain both either at the tutorial, or if you try to leave Balamb Garden before accessing the tutorial, they'll be given to you by Quistis.

**7alentine** · 05-08-2011, 10:23 PM

yep, your turn

**Darth Revan** · 05-09-2011, 01:57 AM

In Galbadia Garden's Ice Rink, what is written on the red banner?

**Enkidoh** · 05-09-2011, 03:17 AM

'Keep on Rockin' in Galbadia', I think.

Ironically enough, a similar line was much later used in FFVII: Advent Children on the Meteor memorial - both are references to the title of Neil Young's song Keep on Rockin' in the Free World incidentally (song references show up repeatedly in FF titles, so this one isn't surprising.)

**Darth Revan** · 05-09-2011, 04:14 AM

Enkidoh is correct. Next question is yours.

**Enkidoh** · 05-09-2011, 04:42 AM

Okey dokey.

Here's a nice easy one:

What route number is shown on the front of all buses running in Deling City?

**Meltigemini** · 05-09-2011, 01:18 PM

45

**Enkidoh** · 05-15-2011, 07:43 AM

I'm sorry for the late reply, but that's not actually correct.

In hindsight, I worded my question wrongly - there is actually no route number on the buses in Deling City - the number I was actually referring to is on the roof of the bus, not the front. So I guess it was a trick question (but not intentionally).

Anyway, if anyone wants to guess the number on the top of the Deling City buses, go ahead.

Otherwise, I'll open the next question up to whoever wants it.
