I scored 19/25.

This is hardly a good trivia quiz. Several of the quiz answers would only be known by looking things up in a player's guide (e.g., how many weapons are in the Shinra HQ). Maybe that's what the quiz maker wanted us to do, but to me, a trivia quiz isn't supposed to be a test of your ability to look things up. It's supposed to test what you already know.

Other questions are misleading or have several possible answers. For example, the question about how many party members have worked for Shinra or have been Shinra allies. The correct answer is 4 (Cloud, Cait Sith, Cid, and Vincent). However, I answered 6, because there are two additional characters who have helped Shinra. Barret helped Shinra by persuading Dyne to allow Shinra to build a Mako Reactor in Corel. Tifa helped Shinra by serving as a guide when Sephiroth visited 5 years ago (to investigate the Nibel Mako Reactor).

The first question asks you how many characters you can "control." I interpreted this to mean "How many characters can you control in battle?" Apparently, the quiz maker thinks the question means "How many characters fight in your party?"

Another example of an ambiguous question is the one about whether Lucrecia's Cave is located between Nibelheim and Cosmo Canyon. Did it mean exactly between or approximately between? Technically, the waterfall is not exactly between these two locations -- it is NE of Cosmo Canyon and SE of Nibelheim -- but it is close enough that I answered "true." The correct answer was false; the quiz says that it is between Nibelheim and Gold Saucer.

I agree. I only got the Shinra tower weapons question right by thinking a moment, then just guessing. Too many of the questions had several possible interpretations, and each interpretation would provide a different answer. Especially that question on who has been an ally of Shinra's. I can easily understand how someone would think Tifa and Barret were at one time. And Cait Sith...technically, he shouldn't count. It's not the robot we know as Cait Sith who is an ally of the Shinra, but rather its controller, who is never one of your party members. It was alright, but they should have worked on it a lot harder before letting others take it...
