Final Fantasy VII Gameplay Quiz: Trivia

Marlene is the daughter of Dyne & Eleanor.
Elmyra is Aerith's foster mother. She looks after Marlene in the Midgar slums.
Priscilla is a little girl who you rescue from the "Bottomswell" serpent in Junon.

If you got that wrong you're unforgivably bad at everything!

There is a bar called Turtle's Paradise in Wutai & there is a famous gate in Sector 5, but 7th Heaven is obviously the correct answer.

Whilst most people know about the Loveless posters, not so many know that they also reference a real life rock band.
My Bloody Valentine released their album Loveless in 1991, 6 years before FF7's release.

In the game Final Fantasy VII, Zack's parents are met in Gongaga. Gongaga is a small village located on the western continent of the game's world. This is where Zack grew up and where his parents still reside. The player can visit Gongaga during their journey and interact with Zack's parents to learn more about his backstory and personal life.

Almost every player will remember the scene. Some forget his name though.
Bugenhagen is of course Red XIII's mentor who Red XIII often refers to as Grandpa.
Red XIII's real name is of course Nanaki.

Masamune is the correct answer because it is the name of Sephiroth's sword. Masamune is a legendary swordsmith from Japan known for creating exceptionally strong and sharp swords. In the Final Fantasy series, Sephiroth wields a long katana called Masamune, which is a nod to the legendary swordsmith. The sword is iconic and is closely associated with Sephiroth's character.

The Braver is his first Limit. The Buster Sword is his first weapon.

The Shinra scientists believed she was an ancient, but she's not at all.

Omega Weapon appears in other FF titles including Dirge Of Cerberus, but he's not in the main FF7 title.
Diamond weapon is often forgotten even though he's a formidable boss that gives you huge amounts of Exp, Gil & AP.
Sapphire Weapon also appears in FF7. He is shot at close range by the Junon Cannon. Sapphire Weapon isn't actually named in the core title though.

Biggs & Wedge were named after X-Wing pilots in Star Wars.

It's obvious just from the amount of V's in his name that Vincent's character design was heavily influenced by vampires. He's a pale faced, shape shifting, immortal that sleeps in a coffin. The truth is, Vincent is just another victim of Hojo's genetic experimentation involving Jenova Cells.

It is widely believed that The Sister Ray is actually named after a song by a group called Velvet Underground on their
White Light/White Heat album.
Sister Ray is actually printed on the Cannon whilst it still remains in Junon creating a forgivable plot hole.

Shera is the correct answer because she is Cid's female assistant in Rocket Town. Her actions caused him to cancel the launch of his first space flight.

There's a remote chance that a man will appear at the entrance to Gold Saucer (top of the cable car) who exchanges Gil for GP.
Quick Tip: Don't buy a Gold Ticket before you've done your time in Corel Prison. It will almost invariably be snatched by bandits.

There's also Aerith's white materia and Sephiroth's black materia.

The Conformer is her ultimate weapon.

Zangan is the name of Tifa's martial arts instructor. He is a skilled fighter who taught Tifa the techniques of martial arts. Tifa greatly admires and respects Zangan, considering him as her mentor. He plays a significant role in Tifa's character development and training, shaping her into a formidable fighter.

You can get all the ribbons you like later on, but finding a second ribbon early on makes life a lot easier.
Ribbons are probably the best accessory in the game.

Many people believe that you can only acquire Chocobuckle by using L4 Suicide on a Chocobo with a level which is a multiple of 4.
In actuality you can obtain it from any Chocobo if you're able to reduce its HP to 1/32 of its max in a single hit. Using L4 Suicide is just the best way to do this because the margin of error is so small.

Nope, it's the HP Shout.

Tickling the white chocobo in Mideel behind its ears rewards you with Contain materia.
Everybody knows this!

Another example of FF7's numerous translation mistakes. This form should be called "Heretic Hojo".

The Princess Gaurd can only be used for a very limited time. It is obtained by accessing chamber IIII on the clock face walkway in the Temple of The Ancients.

Tranquilizers cause sadness which decreases physical damage taken, but slows your Limit gauge down to a crawl.
Hypers nullify sadness & if used again, cause fury which is the equal opposite effect.

For players who like increased challenges it is useful to know this. If you want to go up against the Midgar Zolom early (because you want to obtain the Beta Enemy Skill or you're playing without using Materia), using tranquilizers is a popular tactic to mitigate the damage.

You can also obtain Vagyrisk Claws from Bagrisks near Cosmo Canyon.

This is arguably the best item you can get using morph.

Well impressed if you got this one right!

The Conformer does more damage depending on your enemies level. Since your allies have no "enemy level" it does just 1 point of damage. The Conformer also morphs at full attack power making it an absolutely invaluable weapon.

That seemed plausible didn't it!? It doesn't work.

Sylkis Greens are the most expensive greens in Chocobo Breeding.

Cloud starts the game with the abilities of Ice and Lightning.

You never get a chance to fight Tseng in FF7.

There's a bug in FF7 on the PS1 which makes darkness completely useless. Also the Magic Defense stat does absolutely nothing either.

Kjata can't be paired with Elemental Materia & also does no Earth Elemental damage even though you'd think it would.

The Scimitar & The Apocalypse are the only two triple growth weapons in the game making them very useful.

Movers are those bouncing orange balls in the Northern Crater. They give you tons of AP, but no Exp.

Godo is Yuffie's father and boss of the Wutai Pogoda. You can beat him on disc 1, but if you do you can't complete your enemy skill list because you only obtain the fourth enemy skill materia after Gaea's cliff (Where Stilvas are found). Once you leave Gaea's Cliff there is no other opportunity to get trine.
You can also obtain it from the Materia Keeper in the Nebelheim Mountains.

PS1 players are less likely to know this than PC players. A glitch on the PC enables players to teleport through the game. Players have used this glitch to beat the game in minutes, visit the programmer's "debug room" & bring Aerith back to life.
Google search "Yuffie Warping" for more details.

Chole is the girl from the chocobo ranch. Ester is your chocobo racing manager. Shake & Staniv are your opponents in the Wutai pagoda trial. Mukki is... errr... I don't want to talk about Mukki.

Dispel cures Slow. Esuna cures a different effect called Slow-Numb that turns an ally into stone after 60 seconds.

Both Barret and Vincent can utilize the overflow glitch with their ultimate weapons.
Cait Sith's ultimate limit break "Game Over" can kill any enemy in a single hit.

Steal is found in the Midgar Sewers. You gain sense from the park when sector 7 after destroyed.
Cait Sith has manipulate in his initial equipment. Morph is found in the in the Temple of the Ancients.

Good show if you got this. Tell me it didn't get you thinking!

The Lunar Harp must be excavated in order to progress past the Sleeping Forest.
W Item can be excavated here if you miss it in the Midgar Sewers.
Both Bahamut Zero & Phoenix can be excavated if you miss them (few players do, so they forget).
The Buntline is Vincent's best double growth weapon & useful if you have the patience to find it while you're still on disc 1.

Cait Sith has a Limit called Lucky Girl, but Lucky 7s is something else. Death Roulette is an enemy skill. Kamikaze is a move in FF8. Queen of Hearts is a name I pulled out of my arse.

Death Force grants immunity to all instant death magic although most people simply equip a Ribbon or a Safety Bit to secure themselves. L4 suicide doesn't cause instant death.

The correct answer choices that can be found in the Northern Crater on Disc 3 are W-Magic, Counter, Mega-All, Magic Counter, and Shield.
