RPG Expert

You scored 81% RPG knowledge!
You’re an RPG expert! You’ve played a bunch of RPGs, and have a wide array of knowledge about the genre. You’ve probably even got your own ideas for what an ideal RPG would be like. Either you’ve got a lot of time on your hands and/or a great memory, or you’ve started looking up answers that you didn’t know. Maybe you’re just really hardcore. Good job! This test was hard, and you did very well! Thanks for taking the test!

Woohoo! :smiley: (You did better than 99% of your peers.)

Wow- it looks like Mabat is in the lead. He should have a celebratory drink!

RPG Expert

You scored 86% RPG knowledge!

I will also agree that I had to fall back on some guess work.

#10

56%, RPG Fan. Okay, I have not played Kingdom Hearts or Legaia and damn me if I remember anything that doesn’t involve gameplay about Suikoden. Them’s the breaks.

edit: Hey, Cavelcade and Mabat show up in recent quiz takers!

#11

Heh. So do I. I’m just not GAP.

#12

77%. RPG Hardcore.

#13

66%. Patchy guesswork on about half the questions.

#14

RPG Regular
You scored 36% RPG knowledge!

RPGs are probably your prefered game of choice. You may not be a total fanboy or fangirl yet, but you’re probably working on it if you aren’t already. You’ve got a lot of knowledge under your belt, although not enough to really try to stump most people, unless your knowledge is specialized to a few select games. Very nice job, and thanks for taking the test!

#15

I’m kind of proud I didn’t score more than 66%.

One question bothered me. The one about FFX’s final boss. It could’ve been either Yu Yevon or Braska’s Final Aeon depending on whether or not you’re talking about the last boss you can actually lose to. I’m pretty sure I aced the FF questions and did pretty well on most of the others. I think a lot of people here just had luckier guesses than me, because I honestly feel like 66% of the questions were ones I knew for sure.

Also, why was KH on the test? I thought it was supposed to be about RPGs.

#16

KH is an action RPG, like your mom.

I don’t know why I said “your mom.” It doesn’t even make sense in this instance.

#17

59%. Either I guessed well, or just playing Square games can carry you a long way.

#18

The one FF question that got me scratching my head was how many PCs are there in FF IV since it depends on whether you count Rydia’s child form as a seperate character or not.

But otherwise WAY too many KH questions.

#19

That worried me too, but then I counted the maximum 12 with Rydia as just one.

#20

Must of gotten that one wrong then (Why do I keep forgetting about Rosa!?).

#21

79%. I’m not sure if i would call this ludicrously hard, though. I probably would have gotten like a 95% if I had cared to play the Xenosaga series or Kingdom Hearts series, but fuck that. I could also say the same about Suikoden, but I’m not avoiding playing those games by choice :confused:

#22

I hear the Suikodens after II are a huge let down. I haven’t played them yet and don’t know if I want to. XS sounds TERRIBLE.

#23

Suikoden 3, I thought,m was a pretty good title. But 4, I can;t even stand to play. Just… How can I follow a captain with a name like Snowe Vingerhut?!

Oh, and I got 77% too. Seems to be the mode around here.

#24

Suikoden 3 had you going in and out of everything just to get somewhere (plus it’s HQ was in a really shitty location), and 5 would’ve been better had it not been for the load times. Otherwise only the 4 and the Tactics games were subpar.

Plus aside from the occasional MMO and question all of the games were to be found on either the SuperNES, the PSX, or the PS2. There needed to be some handheld RPG questions like something for Sword of Hope, or the SaGa games, or one of the Dept. Heaven games, or maybe an SRW game, or even something from Luminous Arc, or ect…

Point is aside for some of those one off questions it was pretty much FF, KH, and XS with some Suikoden on the side.

#25

I guessed 11 (incorrectly for FFIV) I forgot to count DK Cecil.

overall result

Your result for The Ludicrously Hard RPG Knowledge Test …
RPG Fan

You scored 59% RPG knowledge!
Okay, you’re definitely an RPG fan. You know what you’re talking about, and you’ve played your share of games. You probably know your share of RPG secrets, as well. You can definitely hold your own in a conversation talking about the aspects of various RPGs. Keep on playing, and thanks for taking the test!

Tis a shame that there were no questions about Langrisser/Warsong :frowning:

#26

Okay, for the record, people, alternate forms don;t count. There’s Cecil, Rosa, Rydia, Kain, Edge, Palom, Porom, Edward, Cid, Yang, Tellah, and the one I’m sure everyone forgets, FuSoYa. twelve different characters.
