Final Fantasy VIII Trivia (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)

[espritduo]

A. Her scan description for when you fight her normally:

"A sorceress trying to change the world by compressing time and taking power from all sorceresses."

Her scan description when she is junctioned to Griever:

"Ultimecia junctioned to Griever. A powerful monster that combines Ultimecia's and Griever's forces."

Her scan description in her final form (a personal favorite of mine):

"Ultimecia, transformed to absorb all time and space. Absorbing all existence as we speak."

Aaaaand her scan description for the bottom part of her final form:

"The point from which Ultimecia's power generates. Casts the ultimate magic through power generated here."

Q. The five major stats can be increased permanently by using the Devour command on certain enemies. What are those enemies and what stats do each of them increase?

[SapphirePR]

A.
1) Pupu - speed
2) Ruby Dragon - HP
3) T-Rexaur - strength
4) Behemoth - magic
5) Adamantoise - defense
it was very boring looking that up

Q: Why didn't Laguna end up with Julia?(before her death)

[espritduo]

You actually forgot one. Heh, which means so did I. The Malboro raises Spirit when devoured.

A. Because he was called away to fight in the war against Esthar.

Q. Okay, here's one that won't be quite as boring, since you can't look it up quite so easily. Besides the Phoenix Pinion, what is the "reward" the Shumi elder gives you for helping the sculptor finish his statue?

[SapphirePR]

A. He gives you the honor of looking at his hands(I'll never get over that reward for all my hard work)

Q: Who is Seifer's father?

[espritduo]

Seifer is an orphan from Edea's orphanage, like the other "children of fate". His father is never mentioned in the game. Trick question?

[Doc Rocco]

I'll take that as a FQ.

Q. What items are required to teach a GF the following abilities?
- Sum Mag +40%
- Str +60%
- Devour
- Auto-Haste
- Treatment
- Vit +20%

[SapphirePR]

According to a friend of mine who has connections to Square, Seifer's father is Martine of Galbadia. Many sublots of VIII were left on the cutting room floor w/ no explanation. Seifer was not actually an orphan but he was taken to Edea by his father after his mother's death..so I guess that was kind of a trick question.

[espritduo]

"according to a friend of mine who has connections to Square" isn't really a reliable source of info, especially since absolutely nothing in the game suggests that Martine is Seifer's father. I wouldn't trust that info if I were you.

Anyways.

A. Samantha Soul teaches Sum Mag +40%
Hyper Wrist teaches Strength +60%
Hugry Cookpot teaches Devour
Accelerator teaches Auto-Haste
Med Kit teaches Treatment
And Turtle Shell teaches Vit+20%

Q. What element is Tiamat's Shadow Flare?

[Secret Weapon]

A: I think that would be Fire and Thunder seeing as he absorbs those two elements.

Q: How can you obtain the Ribbon ability?

[SapphirePR]

Hm, well I'm pretty sure I can trust my friend. But it's very understandable that you don't believe it's true. It might make the plot a little jumbled and there really is no evidence to show it's true in-game. Sorry for going a bit off topic w/ the Seifer stuff.

A: From Chocobo World w/ a Pocket Station

Q: What is Zell's favorite food in the Japanese version of FFVIII?

[espritduo]

Shadow Flare is actually Fire, Thunder, and Ice elemental.

A. Bread.

Q. Doomtrain is actually the third in the series of a particular recurring enemy, but due to translation laziness, its name was changed to Doomtrain in the US and PAL versions of FFVIII. What was Doomtrain's real name?

[Doc Rocco]

A. I'm guessing Phantom Train.

Q. What locations are home to enemies at a constant level? As in, the enemies there don't level up with you, but remain at the same level the entire game.

[SapphirePR]

A. Islands closest to heaven and hell, Omega weapon at Ultimecia's castle..maybe the monsters in Deep Sea Research Center?

Q: Who are the members of the CC group and what are their nicknames?

[espritduo]

Phantom Train isn't even close. His proper name has nothing to do with trains.

A. King - Quistis
Jack - The guy walking around the Balamb Garden main hallway.
Spade - the guy by the second floor elevator
Heart - Xu
Club - the guy near the cafeteria
Diamond - the two girls hanging around the directory board in the main hallway
Joker - That shop guy in the Training Center

Q. Same as before. Doomtrain is actually the third in the series of a particular recurring enemy, but due to translation laziness, its name was changed to Doomtrain in the US and PAL versions of FFVIII. What was Doomtrain's real name?

[ZantetsukeN]

A. Doomtrain's real name is Grasharaboras.

Q. Name all the command abilities that can be learned by the GFs, and which GF can learn them.

[espritduo]

Eh, Grasharaboras is the lazy engrish translation of his name. It's supposed to be Glasya Labolas, one of the 72 demons claimed to have been summoned and sealed by King Solomon, hence the GF's connection to the Solomon Ring in the game. It also appeared in FFII SoR, FFIII and FFVI(as Borras) as a giant-type random enemy.

[Doc Rocco]

espritduo, make sure you at least answer the question posted if you're correcting someone. Thanks.

A. Well, any GF can learn the Command abilities via Items, so I assume you mean naturally.

• Doom - Shiva
• Card - Quetzacoatl
• Mad Rush - Ifrit, Eden
• Treatement - Siren
• Defend - Brothers, Cactaur
• Darkside - Diablos, Doomtrain, Eden
• Recover - Leviathan
• Revive - Alexander
• Absorb - Pandemona, Doomtrain
• LV Down - Tonberry
• LV Up - Tonberry
• Kamikaze - Cactaur
• Devour - Eden

And all GFs have the Magic, GF, Draw and Item Commands.

Q. List all abilities Eden learns naturally.

[ZantetsukeN]

Yeah sorry, I did mean naturally ^-^

A. Boost

Eden already learns Spd-J, Eva-J, Hit-J, Devour, Magic, GF, Draw and Item

Q. At level 100, what is Eden's attack power?

[espritduo]

A. I'll assume you mean damage output, since GF's don't actually have stats or attack power as such like the regular characters. Eden's Eternal Breath will do 65000 damage at level 100, the maximum amount of damage you can inflict in the game.

Q. What special item can Siren's Tool Refine ability create if she is level 100?

[SapphirePR]

A: Dark matter

Q: Who are all of the recognizable characters who can be seen in the ending?

[espritduo]

A. Squall, Rinoa, Quistis, Zell, Selphie, Irvine, Seifer, Fujin, Raijin, Edea, Cid, Laguna, Ward, Kiros, Ellone, Raine, Angelo, the pig-tailed girl(sitting next to Zell), and Ultimecia, if you're including the entire ending from the moment you beat the final battle.

Q. For beating Omega Weapon, you get the "Proof of Omega". Where can you see this at?

[Lunasa]

Hit the O button, Select Information, last one on the bottom.

Name three Monsters/Bosses that drop Wizard Stones(even if they have to be at a high level).

[espritduo]

A. Buel, Jelleye, Abyss Worm

Q. What card does General Caraway want in exchange for his Rinoa card?

[SapphirePR]

You can also see the three girls who are always hanging out outside of the parking lot in the hallway . Irvine waves to them.

A: Ifrit

Q: How did Ward lose his voice?

[espritduo]

A. He loses it during their raid on the Esthar excavation site while they were still with the Galbadian army. The three are attacked by Esthar soldiers as they're trying to escape, and he is seriously wounded. The injuries leave him without a voice.

Q. What is the first opportunity you have to acquire the Ultima Weapon card?

[Doc Rocco]

A. Disc One. When Squall, Selphie and Quistis enter the "Dream World" as Laguna, Ward and Kiros. You can Card an Elastoid which may turn into an Ultima Weapon card. This is rare, though.

Q. List the magic you can dram from a Lefty at low levels (0-20), mid levels (21-30) and high levels (30+).

Q.If miss drawing Siren from Elvoret, where can you draw her from later on?

[espritduo]

A. You can draw Siren from Tri-Point in Ultimecia's Castle if you miss drawing her from Elvoret.

Q. Who does the attack Bloodfest?

[HUNK]

A. You can draw Siren from Tri-Point in Ultimecia's Castle if you miss drawing her from Elvoret.

Q. Who does the attack Bloodfest?

A: Kiros(wow i got one right)

Q: how were monsters said to have came to the world of FF8?

[espritduo]

Actually, it's not Kiros. Kiros's attack is called Blood Pain. This is a completely different attack.

A.Monsters come to the FFVIII planet from the moon during Lunar Cries.

Q. Same as before. Who does the attack called Bloodfest?
