Final Fantasy Hacktics

I don't think enough people here have played that (myself included) for it to be fair to ask questions about it. =P

Thanks guys. ^_^

*Throws a tomato at Vanya*

OK, 4 people are in! Let's keep it going, people! =D

Sure thing, Vanya.

I can sign you up now, and if it turns out you can't participate then you just won't advance. And if you can, you'd be signed up. Interested?

Since a bunch of people seem to enjoy my trivia games that I throw on IRC every once in a while, I thought it would be fun to throw a little tournament to see who knows the most about the Final Fantasy Series. Lasting_Dawn and I will be making the questions, and I'm quite excited to say that this will be the biggest trivia game yet!

16* will participate... 1 will walk away the victor- a Final Fantasy Trivia Master! Will it be you?

Tournament will take place 8:00 P.M. Eastern Time on Sunday, October 18, 2009.

-Tournament Rules-

1) Closeness Counts
If an answer is spelled correctly enough to where I can understand what's being said, it counts as a point.

2) If You're Out, You're Out
If you've lost a round and you're out, you may NOT yell out any answers.

3) No Man is an Island
Even I can be wrong at times, so if I have a question and it's been answered with an answer that you know is wrong, find some proof and I'll give you a point.

4) Tools are Meant to be Used
Using guides and resources such as the Final Fantasy Wiki are perfectly acceptable (not that I would know, regardless), but know that by looking a question up, you could be wasting valuable time compared to someone who may already know the answer. So GUESS if you have a guess, don't be afraid.

Questions will come from the following games:

List of Current Participants (will update regularly):

The questions asked will be from nearly every category. Music, characters, story, items, monsters, you name it.

Method of Elimination:
Each person participating in the tournament will be on a bracket. At the end of each round, whoever has the least amount of points in their pairing will be knocked out of the competition. Seeds are randomly decided and each round has 50 questions, for a total of 200 questions overall. In the case of a tie, whoever answers a tiebreaker question correctly first moves on.

Prize:
Knowing (and being able to brag) that you know more about the Final Fantasy series than anyone else in the series!


Sign-ups are due the day before the trivia (October 17), and the bracket will be posted the day of the trivia.

The tournament will take place on a special IRC room I will designate by PM the day of the tournament.

HAVE FUN!

*or less, depending on how many sign up.

EDIT:
And so the tournament is complete! Congratulations Dominic!

For those interested in seeing the tournament bracket, I'll post a link to the download below! Thanks for participating!

Very clever, both of you. ^_^

Long time no see, eh? Without further ado... BIGGS AND WEDGE! =D

Middle-aged commander, friend to Wedge. His disdain for his father comes from him bedding his niece, leading to his mother's suicide. Upon her suicide, Biggs broke all contact with his father. Upon the revelation that his mother was assassinated under suspicious circumstances, he and Wedge began to plot....



-WEDGE-
"What is man without the desire to better himself? Whether by rank or blood, we bow our heads and pray each day, our dreamer's reverie become reality."

Full Name: Wedge Bolmna
Job: Advisor
Age: 37
Birthday: August 31
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Blood Type: B-
Birthplace: Bolmna
Loves: Simplicity, Governing, Plotting

A man with his ear to the ground and his head in a book, his mind is full to the brim of fascinating knowledge and interesting facts, but he lacks common sense. Ever since his youth, he has walked in his father's shoes- eventually becoming a Baron of the lands north of Limberry, also known as Bolmna. He has been friends with Biggs since his childhood, and values his company more than a dozen advisors.

Isn't that just a trial version though?

Glad you had fun with it. ^_^

Any chance that you can record a battle?

Ah, I apologize, Skip. I missed that part.

Skip, why do Iron Giants have 'great' speed? IIRC, all the Iron Giants in the series have been fairly slow.

Slap usually inflicted status ailments, also, such as Paralyze, Blind, and Silence. Just for the record. =D

Dragon Force and Mighty Guard, perhaps?

LD, could we use Calculator skills for the monsters?

I was thinking Ahriman could have like Lv. 5 Death, or Trents could have Lv. 3 Sleep or something. I realize those spells aren't necessarily in Mercs, but the Lv. X spells could be a nice little nod to other FF's. Perhaps we could nerf them by giving them an MP Cost/CT?

It was a prototype Zirekile from before FFT was released. As you can tell, the current Zirekile is much more... crisp, compared to this one.

The new Flan has potential, but I think it needs to be more blobby around the middle, if that makes any sense. =\

In FFIV, Ahriman used Doom/Haste to speed up the enemy's ATB so they'd die faster. Perhaps we could make a move along that theme?

Any chance we could get an Angry Zalbag portrait added to the list?

Put me down as the Pieke, erm, Rondel sprite. ^_^

I'll be the Simon Cowell of the judges. ^_^
