For 21) Wild Arms 3 was my primary thought, but some creative answers about. Bolbox from E.V.O. counts too, now that I think about it.


Just a few more, I'm running dry:
24) Name a RPG with a cipher system in place.
25) Name an RPG where the opposite of "evil" magic is not "holy" magic.
26) Name 3 rpgs and respective examples of their dungeons where you are sent back to the start of the dungeon if you take a wrong path.

24...uhm. FFX's Al Bhed? Does that count?
Each letter is turned into another one.

25...Does FFVI's "Pearl" count, or is that too holy?

26...I believe there's some forest in Seiken Densetsu 3 that does that. Moonlight forest? The one where you have to follow the pink flowers to get to the elven village.
Lost Woods in Zelda, Ocarina of Time does it I think. Or is Zelda not RPGish enough?

24) does the "meredy speak" of tales of destiny 2 count?

Name 3 games that have a brain as the final boss

Name 3 games that have capsule machines

and for kicks, name 1 game for every letter of the alphabet. be sure to use the spoiler tags. i'm going to attempt to run a score with this one, so for every unique game you get a point and for every series that is mentioned more than once between people you get 0 for that letter :3 This is honor code based, so please refrain checking against other people's lists until your list has been finalized.



i'll go first

My alphabet:


3 games with brains as final bosses:
- Metroid (Mother Brain), Psychonauts (Colonel's Brain), and I think Earthbound would count (Giygas, alien brain of sorts...I dunno).

Super Metroid, Contra III/Super Probotector, Gradius.

My list:

Hmm....



This will more than likely nullify the very obvious ones.

R-Type, Xenophobe, Super C, System Shock 2, Resident Evil 2

Ha! Awesome, I did this sort of thing at work today to kill time...Let's see...



EDIT: Damn, not as unique as I thought...

Double Post:
- Name 3 games that have capsule machines

Wait...capsule machines of the walk-in variety or put-in-a-coin-and-turn-the-crank kind?

- Super Smash Brothers Melee (trophy dispenser), the Dragonball Z RPG for SNES (the saiyan "capsule" is a machine), and I'm tempted to say Mario Party 5/6/7 (one of the orb dispensers?)

Well, it can't beat the mediocrity of mine. I'm sure everybody's heard just about all of those games at one point or another, but regardless. It seems that the activity in this thread has died off so I'll attempt to jump start it again.

Specific Game Questions:

1. In Final Fantasy IV, how many characters can you control that die off sometime in the game?

2. In Final Fantasy V, how many times do you fight X-Death, in one form or another?

3. In Final Fantasy VI, How many Atma Weapons are there?

4. In Final Fantasy VII, name 2 places where the music changes permenantly as you progress in the game.

5. In Final Fantasy VIII, which issue of Weapons Monthly gives you access to the Cutting Trigger?

6. In Final Fantasy IX, how much mail must you deliver in order to revive Mognet Central?

And Some General Questions....

1. Name 3 Racing Games which have a temporary shield pickup available (different series please). These protect you for 1 hit.

2. Name 3 FPS games that start you off with anything besides a Pistol/Blaster/whatever variation. (again, different series)

3. Name 3 RTS games which have more than 3 resources you can gather.

4. Name 3 RPG games where you need to buy ammuntion to use ranged weapons. (i.e. arrows)

5. Name 3 Strategy RPGs special characters that you fight more than once.

That should get us started.

Ogre Battle 64 has Virtue and Bane instead of Holy and Evil, if that counts.

3. Empire Earth has food, stone, iron, gold, and whatnot. I can't quite remember, but it's more than three.

4. A huge amount. Final Fantasy IV, Diablo II, and Baldur's Gate are a few examples.

5. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, there's the Black Knight. You have the option to fight him more than once, anyway...

Yay! buncha questions and tricky ones at that :)

1. In Final Fantasy IV, how many characters can you control that die off sometime in the game?


2. In Final Fantasy V, name 2 classes that can be missed one way or another.
Mimic, Dancer (?)

4. Name 3 RPG games where you need to buy ammuntion to use ranged weapons. (i.e. arrows)
Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Unlimited SaGa (don't remember)

5. Name 3 Strategy RPGs special characters that you fight more than once.
Celia (FFT), Lede (FFT), Midboss (Disgaea)

After calculating the current alpha list scores (speaking of which, it's never too late to submit a list) , i came across a problem on how to deal with a violator of the "series rule". if you wouldn't mind, would the current participants please refer to the front page and answer the questions under the dupe game list spoiler tab <3

while reading through the results i thought about the games i was thinking about before i submitted my 26 and realized that a handful of them were on my list before i finalized it. and also, i noticed that several of the games listed were some of my favorites <3 i like this gaming crowd.

to change up the flow of this, we could recycle the "list x game" questions that didn't get answered with the games we had in mind when they were thought up and pin the "ideal" answers as they come.
any thoughts on this?


oh yeah.
Q: Name 3 games where it is possible to "lock weapons" with the opponent?

I'd say go by Genre. Games that play alike are considered the same game. So basically, what I'm saying is 1 series is Mario Platformers, 1 series is Mario Sports, another is Mario RPGs, etc. Games with different protagonists but same cast is considered a different series.

Hmmm.....That's Dynasty Warriors, Bushido Blade 2.....can't quite think of another one.

EDIT: Summonmaster,

Ah right hadn't played IV for a while, then again I stopped at the moon :s

Samurai Showdown, Samurai Showdown IV, Kirby Superstar (Samurai Kirby)

I like the ideal answers idea.
BTW, for 25) I had SaGa Frontier (mind vs. evil magic)

Now to test your logic, these aren't hard, but just to see if you can interpret correctly:
27) Name a game in which the ultimate attack does exactly the same amount of damage as a normal attack is capable of doing.
28) Name any character that can have about three weapons on him/her at one time. (FPSs don't count)
29) Name 2 damage-dealing summons that can never kill an opponent.

Well one would be Diablo (FF VIII). As for a second, I can't think of any others.

27. That's an oddly phrased question. An ultimate attack that does exactly the same amount of damage a normal attack is capable of doing? Usually, normal attacks have a range of damage they're capable of inflicting. How can an ultimate attack deal exactly a "range" of damage? I guess it would make sense if both attacks did the same range of damage, but I dunno.

28. Another odd question. Any character in Fire Emblem, for starters. Units are allowed to carry five items of any type, so you can carry three weapons if you want.

---

3. Name three RPGs that require (or allow) some form of timed hits in battle.
4. Name two games that allow you to unlock game content with currency earned ingame.

3. Tales of Symphonia, Star Ocean 3 (I think), Vagrant Story.

4. Tekken: Dark Resurrection, Advance Wars (kinda).

Not sure about 27, but 28 is vague. Any character from Shining Force can hold 3 weapons at a time, but as far as equipping ALL three weapons, the Golems from Legend of Mana can have 3 weapons.

2 Damage Dealing, Non-Killing summons would include Diablo (FFVIII) and I think Remora (FFV) counts too if you get hit, you do lose HP, but at a steady pace and that doesn't kill you outright.

Come to think of it, these are all vague.

I was thinking more along the lines of traditional turn-based RPGs, but those work too.

5. Name two strategy games in which it is necessary to capture or liberate enemy towns/strongholds.

Alphabet soup!

Well, this is tricky...I'm not sure if you mean the enemies can use your spells or something like enemy skill/blue magic. Or if both you and your enemy share the same skill pot. I'm saying like Seiken Densetsu 3 as Duran vs. the Black Knight where you can use Whrilwind Sword/Eruption Sword, etc or Angela's Holy Ball/Diamond Missile, etc or Hawk's Jutsus that mimic those of Bill&Ben or hell, even Carlie's Heal Light that is used by enemies.

There's 4 right there if that's what you want. Otherwise, if you're talking about like Blue Magic or Enemy Skill, I dunno.
