Final fantasy 6 riddles

[KazexLisa]

might as well.....

OK whoever answers this riddle can come up with their own or let someone else do it and a cookie.......... not really


I am Human
But am I really?
I despair
But do I really?
Aren't I the one who
is supposed to be loved?

Hint: It is a main character

[Siegfried]

...Terra?

[blackmage_nuke]

Or Tina (it's abit too obvious)

-

[KazexLisa]

Good one Siegfried.... your turn.....
(I was trying to make it easy)

siegfried???/????????

[Siegfried]

You have a choice with me, you do
But either way I turn out the same thing...
What am I?

[Omega Sephiroth]

Cayane?

[ljkkjlcm9]

You have a choice with me, you do
But either way I turn out the same thing...
What am I?

Shadow!

THE JACKEL

[Siegfried]

No, not Shadow...
I'll give you a hint...It has to do with something that can only be obtained in the WoR

[Mirage]

Odin turning into Raiden?

[Siegfried]

Nope...

[Lynx]

edit i changed my answer: ragnarok

[Siegfried]

And by changing your answer, I change my response...
Yes Ragnarok is the asnswer...because you can either get the sword or the esper but if you use the esper in battle, it is a sword

[Lynx]

i was going to sya golden hairpin because you ahve the choice to get it or save mog but anyways i cant think of any riddle right now seeing as its 1am and im tired so someone else can have my turn.

[ljkkjlcm9]

shadow was a much better answer, because you have a choice to wait for him on the floating continent. If you don't, he dies, and if you do, he dies in the ending.

The ragnarok Esper and Sword are far from the same thing, even if the esper summons a sword.

THE JACKEL

[ReloadPsi]

Plus there's Gogo, who can only be obtained in WoR, and is basically just everyone else rolled into one.

[Lynx]

shadow was a much better answer, because you have a choice to wait for him on the floating continent. If you don't, he dies, and if you do, he dies in the ending.

The ragnarok Esper and Sword are far from the same thing, even if the esper summons a sword.

THE JACKAL

but the riddle says "but either way i turn out the same thing" if you dont choose to wait for shadow he doesnt turn out the same thing because he's dead.

ragnarok the choice is esper or sword either way its still ragnarok.

[ljkkjlcm9]

yes he does. You wait for him, he'll die, albeit much later, but he still ends up dead.

THE JACKEL

[Mirage]

The Ragnarok esper is far from the same thing as the Ragnarok sword. Just because one thing shares the name with another thing doesn't mean they're the same :(. I still say Odin->Raiden.

[Darius]

Fantastic....

Next riddle please? Thank you. Drive thru.

[Lynx]

yes he does. You wait for him, he'll die, albeit much later, but he still ends up dead.

THE JACKAL

thats true. assumeing he does die in the end.

anyone who wnats my turn to riddle can have it.

[Lynx]

ok fine no ones going im not great at createing riddles but here goes nothing.

i wont make you sick
but ill make you cold

the apocalypse gives you the chance to find me
you may not think im useful so sentence me to death.


:rolleyes2 i tried to create a riddle play on words arent my thing hopefully its not too easy.

[Siegfried]

See riddles aren't supposed to be obvious or they would be no fun...
Thats why ragnarok is the best answer because you have to think out of the box...
Hey I can get the sword!
And if I use the esper, its a huge sword...what a difference!

Edit: Oh, and if you can only obtain it in WoR...then it can't be Shadow since you can hire him...Odin is not the same as Raiden, they have different everything...and Gogo, where's the choice mentioned in the riddle...not picking him up?

Double Edit: Answer... Mog?

[Mirage]

Not really, their attacks look and do about the exact same.

[Lynx]

nope not mog.

just a little hint or possibly widening the scales jsut because the riddle says "I" does not mean its alive aka its not alive :D

[blackmage_nuke]

Gaurdian?

[Lynx]

nope

[Siegfried]

Relic Ring?

[Lynx]

nailed it siegfried your turn.

my explanation.

i wont make you sick
but ill make you cold the description of the relic ring is makes hte body cold

the apocalypse gives you the chance to find meragnarok in mythology is the destrucion of all gods the world and everything. apocalypse is the destruction of the world basically the same thing. also useing ragnaroks metamorph you can morph a veteran into the ring
you may not think im useful so sentence me to death.
when first useing the relic ring its like whats so great about being a zombie but then when enemys cast doom or death on you it cures you

[Siegfried]

ok...

Fight me and you'll think I'm pretty tough...
But then why do I always seem to run away?

I'm not a ghost, nor a turtle...
But in the end I sure won't gipp you!

[Lynx]

im a bit rusty with my FFVI but a cactuar?

[sockmonkey]

Kefka.

[Siegfried]

Neither...

[Lynx]

lone wolf?

[abrojtm]

Hmm... could it be Siegfried?

[Siegfried]

HOWD YOU GUESS!!!

Yeah its Siegfried...Not Ziegfried, Zigfried, or Seigfried...
your move

[abrojtm]

I'm hard to keep a hold of, being the crown of kings-
My brethren come in the forms of shields and rings.

Pretty easy :( it's late.

[Siegfried]

I'm hard to keep a hold of, being the crown of kings-
My brethren come in the forms of shields and rings.

Pretty easy :( it's late.

This seems too easy but... Regal Crown???

[abrojtm]

Nope.

[Siegfried]

Genji Shield?

[blackmage_nuke]

Im just going to guess and say the Genji Helmet

[abrojtm]

Nopers.

[Darthwedge]

ummm..............................buh......................
well im stumped

[LoKuS]

new clue.

[abrojtm]

"Crown of Kings" is a historical/mytholigical allustion

[Darthwedge]

That is no hint

[abrojtm]

That is a hint. I refuse to give you the answer just because you can't figure out the riddle. The riddle is not that hard.

The answer is a piece of equipment.

[Lynx]

umm im not sure how this can relate to the 2nd part of the riddle

is it Tiara.

its not a crwon for kings but its a crown for queens and used throughout history.

[abrojtm]

Nope.

[LoKuS]

Circlet?

[Lynx]

coronet???? its a royal crown

[abrojtm]

Nope.

It is a piece of equipment.

[ljkkjlcm9]

dude, they're naming pieces of equipment, and obviously it's not as easy as you thought

THE JACKEL

[Lynx]

so then give it a shot im pretty stumped

[Darthwedge]

OH OH I THINK I GOT IT. Is it a Crystal helm? Cause there are crystal shields and rings.
If its not that its a Diamond helm. and if its not that then its a genji helm. If its not that...................well then i give up.

[ljkkjlcm9]

OH OH I THINK I GOT IT. Is it a Crystal helm? Cause there are crystal shields and rings.
If its not that its a Diamond helm. and if its not that then its a genji helm. If its not that...................well then i give up.

I don't know of any crystal or diamond rings

THE JACKEL

[Darthwedge]

oh well i just guessed. im probobly wrong anyway...............

[abrojtm]

Nope.
There is a particular reason that this piece of equipment is "hard to hold."

[,,,]

I don't think there's any piece of equipment that comes as a helmet, shield, and ring. I don't know what that part of the clue meant otherwise, but it must not be that so I'll ignore that part of the clue.

I'll guess thornlet, "crown of kings" being a reference to Jesus and the crown of thorns. If that's it, you'll have to explain to us the part about "shields and rings."

Also, if I'm right someone can take mine because I don't have the energy to think of something obscure in the game and make up a rhyme about it.

[Bunny]

I'll guess thornlet, "crown of kings" being a reference to Jesus and the crown of thorns. If that's it, you'll have to explain to us the part about "shields and rings."

If you're right: Cursed Ring, Cursed Shield. All have negative effects as they are all cursed items.

I can't really think of anything else. So sure. Thornlet :P

[abrojtm]

,,, got it. Bunny finished explaining it.
Hooray.

[Darthwedge]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I got this now

[Lynx]

someone going to do a new riddle or what?

[Darthwedge]

fine ill do one.

This guys almost as messed up as kefka.
I will KILL YOU ALL!!
What you beat me?
ILL GET YOU NEXT TIME!!!!!!


Forgive me if its blunt and unguessable. Or if its to easy.................
Anyway more hints will come.

[LoKuS]

Ultros?

[Darthwedge]

god i suck at this game. yes. make a new one

[ReloadPsi]

Well it's been nearly three weeks and it looks like he's not coming back to post a new riddle, so I will.

This is very short and quite simple, but let's see if anyone can actually guess it!

Grandfather holds the key to rejuvenation

[blackmage_nuke]

Is it how you have to talk to Strago to use the inn in Thamasa?

[ReloadPsi]

Nope, it's not an event in the game. Cool signature though.

[bipper]

Elixers in the grandfather clocks.

[bipper]

A squiggle in the garden

[Darthwedge]

Phunbaba?

[bipper]

I was Once of the sea

I've always been male

SON OF A SUBMARINER ?

[blackmage_nuke]

I've always been male

SON OF A SUBMARINER ?
*QUE FANFARE*
http://www.videogamesprites.net/FinalFantasy6/NPCs/Empire/Kefka%20-%20Victory%20(Left).gif
Yes
I wouldve also accepted "Son of a sandworm"

[bipper]

A sacred life, a second chance
one last scar to bleed legacy
willed or taken is not to decide
loyalty rewarded, willed confide
an attempt to reverse this tragedy
A Woman's struggle, back to balance

[abrojtm]

Phoenix?

[Siegfried]

Terra?

[sephirothishere]

I swear I got this like a minute ago D:

CELES FUCKING CHERE!

[bipper]

none correct thus far. One was one, one would be half, and one could be.

[qwertysaur]

Katrin?

[Lynx]

rachels sacrifice to restore hte phoenix esper.

[bipper]

No single sacrifice can align,
With gifts bestowed with time.
A woman's struggle, you can see
when within the trinity.

(this is a continuation of the first riddle: the entirety is now)

A sacred life, a second chance
one last scar to bleed legacy
willed or taken is not to decide
loyalty rewarded, willed confide
an attempt to reverse this tragedy
A Woman's struggle, back to balance

[qwertysaur]

goddess?

[Siegfried]

The situation where Celes comes in on the Floating island with Shadow and stuff where she refuses to kill her buddies

[bipper]

What I describe is not an event,
it is a simple object, used by some
given to heroes to compliment
their battle for balance, or whatever comes.

This should be easy, no more hints for a bit. :)

[Siegfried]

Celestriad?

[bipper]

stumped? Do you all just want the answer? you will *HEADDESK* when you hear it, I am sure.

[demondude]

weapons sword hat armour

[bipper]

weapons sword hat armour

nope, it is FFVI specific. Makes you become unique from everyone else in the world, but makes all your party members the same.

[qwertysaur]

I've figured it out. It's magicite, I think

A sacred life, a second chance: the second chance for an esper to help by giving you their power.
one last scar to bleed legacy: the last remains of an esper
willed or taken is not to decide: some magicite the espers willingly give, but kefka takes a lot by force as well.
loyalty rewarded, willed confide: some espers turn themselves to magicite to help
an attempt to reverse this tragedy: stop the empire, then Kefka
A Woman's struggle, back to balance: Terra and Celes are struggling to restore the balance of the world.

That is absolutely correct. The last line is more

A Woman's struggle, back to balance: The goddesses that made the espers struggled, this is the trageity I spoke of. They created a trinity of balance, and their disrupted balance brought destruction to us all.

you may see me once

you'll have to see me more than twice
so that you can beat me

[abrojtm]

I guess Deathgaze/Doomgaze--but what does that have to do with FFVI:A?

[demondude]

abrojtm is right it's deathgaze you have to beat him to get bahamut:)

[bipper]

abrojtm is right it's deathgaze you have to beat him to get bahamut:)

lol, I find it funny that a line mentions no ships being found, and yet you fight DG on your airSHIP:confused:

[demondude]

when you go somewere and come out again he moves position that you need to fight him and everytime you go somewere dungeon or town then he moves place:)

[abrojtm]

What does that have to do with FFVI:A?

Give me a few for a riddle.

[demondude]

I thought bahamut was only obtainable in the advance version:confused:

[Takara]

Huh, nope. He's obtainable (is that even a word?) by defeating Doomgaze/Deathgaze in every versions of the game.

[demondude]

ah crap im sorry about that i googled it and it said advanced forgive me please i beg of you:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(: (:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

[abrojtm]

So sorry guys-- by a few, I originally had meant mins, but I'm SUPER busy these days, so someone can take my turn.

PS: Obtainable is a word.

[Takara]

ah crap im sorry about that i googled it and it said advanced forgive me please i beg of you:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(: (:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Relax, kiddo. I don't think anyone was out with torches and pitchforks, ready to skin you alive for that. Just a bunch of people confused. :)


PS: Obtainable is a word.

My vocabulary has just been expanded. Unfortunately, since it's a little over 5 AM here, I'll most likely forget that after some sleep. :laugh:

[musenji]

How do you skin a person alive with a torch or a pitchfork? Yee.

Also, "obtainable" is still a word. Never forget. Try using it in a sentence!

My riddle:

A brighter shade of blue,
Or maybe I'm red hot;
Depends on where you stand:
in East or Western land.
Either way, this much is true:
A coward's what I'm not.

I wanted to incorporate "obtainable" into the riddle, but oh well. Next time.

[demondude]

Umaro?

[musenji]

Nope.

[blackmage_nuke]

Pterodon and Wyvern ?

[musenji]

Mm, no..good thinking though. I think it's misleading, so I'll tell you that East and West refer to the real life areas/cultures.

[Takara]

How do you skin a person alive with a torch or a pitchfork? Yee.

You don't. The pitchfork is to impale them on the ground so they can't move, and the torches are for the barbecus after the person has been skinned alive. :shifty:

As for the riddle, could East and West refer to Doma and Figaro respectively?

[musenji]

East refers to Japan and West refers to the US. Repost:

A brighter shade of blue,
Or maybe I'm red hot;
Depends on where you stand:
in East or Western land.
Either way, this much is true:
A coward's what I'm not.

[bipper]

Siren's Butt!

[Takara]

East refers to Japan and West refers to the US.

Oh, duh, I just figured it out. I was a bit warm though while I was thinking of Doma. It's Cyan/Cayenne.

A brighter shade of blue, Cyan is a shade of bright blue.
Or maybe I'm red hot; Cayenne is a red pepper.
Depends on where you stand:
in East or Western land. He's called Cayenne in Japan and Cyan in America.
Either way, this much is true:
A coward's what I'm not. Nope, he just speaks with an old English accent (in the NA release, at least), and got such a big grudge against the Empire that his ghost would haunt them if Kefka didn't kill the Emperor, destroyed Vector and most of the world, and then got defeated by the party.

[musenji]

Spot on, Takara!

[Takara]

I'm bad at inventing riddles, so I'll let the next poster make one.

[demondude]

Although I am not needed
Get me anyway
For you shall not forget it
When I kick ass all day
But there is one other thing
That you will need me for
So don't forget about me
Especially on the dance floor.

This one is easy:)

[bipper]

I was thinking Terra till the dance floor bit. But I would say Mog, but you never really *NEED* him, unless you want to use the charm. So yeah, I will GOE with MOG, for 500 Trebeck.

[demondude]

Damn yes your right:(

[bipper]

Take your fill and speak your will,
I will judge and reward you still.
Perhapses in vane, it's still the same.
Though you still have a little to gain.
An advent of fate, a cut deck of cards
the ace of spades, when the dealer plays.

[demondude]

Setzer?

[bipper]

no, it is not a person, place, or thing. It is an event, as the riddle says.

[demondude]

oh sorry:p

Is it after the opera fight with ultros when celes tricks stzer with a double sided coin:)

[bipper]

oh sorry:p

Is it after the opera fight with ultros when celes tricks stzer with a double sided coin:)

no sir, it is not.

[musenji]

The Emperor's banquet? I don't see how the last two lines fit though, unless it refers to when you get Setzer in your party soon after..

[bipper]

The Emperor's banquet? I don't see how the last two lines fit though, unless it refers to when you get Setzer in your party soon after..

Correct!

Take your fill and speak your will, - clearly stating the banquet. Eat what you can, and speak your opinions to the questions of the Emperor.

I will judge and reward you still. - He will make his decisions on what to do, and you can piss him off. either way, you will get rewarded some how.

Perhapses in vane, it's still the same. - No matter what you do, he schemes against you

Though you still have a little to gain. - you don't get :skull::skull::skull::skull: that is worth much.

An advent of fate, a cut deck of cards - this line states it is an event that is fated (no getting around it) the the cut deck of cards refers to Ghestal basically rigging the meeting, the conversation, everything.

the ace of spades, when the dealer plays. - though you play your cards well, you will never win - as the dealer always has the proverbial ace of spades.

[musenji]

Is it yellow or green?
On paper or screen?
And how fast can it grow
with a lavender glow?

[blackmage_nuke]

terra?

[bipper]

Terra's hair, actually.

[musenji]

Yep, terra's hair. An easy one.

[bipper]

A quarter a dozen, the problem of all
chaos contained, within in the wall
With the slightest bump, it will fall.

an easy one.

[musenji]

The bouquet of flowers portrait in Owzer's house?

[bipper]

No. Maybe it is a bit harder than I thought. The riddle eludes to a key noun in the game.

[demondude]

those soldiers who knock you off on those platforms ?

[Eagleheart]

The warring triad (the three goddesses) on the floating continent.

A quarter a dozen, the problem of all
chaos contained, within in the wall
With the slightest bump, it will fall.

Quarter of a dozen --> there are three of them.
the problem of all --> just what it says
chaos contained --> The balance of the three of them is what keeps things contained, "balanced" as in the World of Balance.
within in the wall --> not a hundred percent sure what this line means.
With the slightest bump, it will fall --> when Kefka moves the statues out of alignment, the Floating Continent falls.

All very correct. Within the wall basically means that they are contained, and hey, it rhymed :D

[Eagleheart]

Awesome, possum. Lemme give some thought to this, and I'll have a riddle ready as soon as I can.

I want to argue that with that same logic, it could be the things that you push as weights down to solve the riddles of the game...

[bipper]

again..a in English? :)

yeah, riddles are rarely ambiguous, but they can be. I am not sure what you are talking about, but yeah - bravo for solving it second :love:

[Siegfried]

again..a in English? :)

yeah, riddles are rarely ambiguous, but they can be. I am not sure what you are talking about, but yeah - bravo for solving it second :love:

LOL, im just saying another answer to your riddle is the 4k weights you must push down at certain points in the game to solve riddles, it follows all the same criteria...

[bipper]

a quater of a dozen is not 4000 :love:

[Eagleheart]

Here's my riddle, I hope it's all right. I've never written one for FFVI, and the feel of it is a bit different. This'll either be super easy or rather vague and difficult.

I'm one of a kind,
You'll not see my better,
I'm first of my class,
Right down to the letter.

There are others who'll come,
With fancier moves,
But if you stick with me,
Then I'll only improve.

[bipper]

Mog?

[Eagleheart]

Nope.

[demondude]

Sabin?

[Eagleheart]

Nope.

[demondude]

Locke?

[Siegfried]

a quater of a dozen is not 4000 :love:

Ah but in normal game pay, there are only 3 of them

[Siegfried]

Ultima Weapon?

Sorry about double post, thought they just have two different topics...

[Eagleheart]

Ultima Weapon?

Sorry about double post, thought they just have two different topics...

I was thinking of "Atma" because I wasn't sure if we were favoring FFIII US or FFVIA translation, but yes, I'll give that to you.

I'm one of a kind, (obvious)
You'll not see my better, (it has the highest possible attack rating in the game, 255)
I'm first of my class, (leads into the next line)
Right down to the letter. (refers to the "A" in Atma, and the fact that it's the most powerful weapon in the swords class)

There are others who'll come,
With fancier moves, (Atma Weapon has the highest attack rating, but so do the swords Ragnorak and Illumina, and they offer other bonuses as well)
But if you stick with me,
Then I'll only improve. (What makes the Atma weapon valuable is that it's strength increases based on your level, if you keep using it, it can only get better.)

I love the white, (randomly casts pearl)

It takes a guess to get me...right? (guessing which thing to wager in the colosseum?)

No but that is the right idea on a couple...

I kindof want to punch you...

Very often someone will make connections and come up with a guess that is close to the answer, and someone else will use those connections and that guess to discover the exact answer. It really can't be avoided; it's a part of the game.

Sometime, bipper, I'm sure you'll use someone else's connections to get the exact answer. It'll even out. (Take this from someone who has been on both sides of the "steal" and made a fool of himself when the answer was "stolen" from him.)

[Siegfried]

No but still valid thinking
Here is a hint, i love the white doesnt mean the thing itself is white, it relates to something that is white

lol, i was joking, and I am sure blackmage knew that :tongue: No need for the lectures, I know what I'm doing. :) I also stole terra's hair from him. If you take me seriously, you totally miss my point, always. I am sure he knew I was sarcastic ~

My next guess:
Umaro - cause I am out of good guesses.

[musenji]

But my podium is so SHINY!

Alexandr...

1: teaches pearl
2: the summon does heavy damage to all enemies
3: the magicite itself is lightweight
4: guessing that you have to get it from Doma's throne?

[Siegfried]

Ok since all are so close but not on target ill give a couple more hints
Guess = Colliseum (sp)
And
Light refers to lightweight
And
The name of the item is more FFVIA oriented but the other works well too

[musenji]

Graedus?

pearl-elemental,
high battle power,
dirk class (light knife),
colosseum.

[Siegfried]

Graedus?

pearl-elemental,

Only problem is you get one of these in normal play too...
ok good in fight refers to defense, not offence

[Eagleheart]

Snow muffler?

[Siegfried]

You got it eagle, it is the snow muffler/scarf

[Eagleheart]

Beauty! I'll have something ready as soon as I can.

[bipper]

4 line poem dashed in obscurity! Nicely done. Freakin hard. I will abuse you later for saying it was easy. :greenie:

[Eagleheart]

All righty, here goes. Dunno quite how I feel about this one--it's different in style from the other's that have been posted so far, but I hope that's appreciated.

Effervescent hope is found,
In malefic raining light,
Six minutes for the saviour,
Tiger, tiger burning bright.

Aether gilded, heaven blessed,
Resigned to the mundane,
Till the nature of desire,
Breaks the hold of terra's chains.

Heartbeat of the lions twain,
Evading what is true,
Heedless on despite repute,
Enchained to give what's due.

New center for the stage is found,
Only stage again is changed,
Belief defines her faith anew,
Let death the path arrange.

Found in halls of ancient stone,
Making beauty, hands of war.
And a fitting line of tribute,
Names the way of those called forth.

Edit: changed line structures slightly.

[blackmage_nuke]

floating continent?

[bipper]

final dungeon?

[Eagleheart]

Nope, and nope.

[musenji]

Alright guys, this looks like one we're gonna have to hack away at. Just making one guess at the whole thing probably won't do it. Have to take it one stanza at a time.

I think the first stanza relates to rescuing the child from the burning house in Tzen.

Effervescent hope is found,
In malefic raining light, (Kefka's light of judgement)
Six minutes for the saviour, (six minutes for Celes to save the kid)
Tiger, tiger burning bright.

Sabin is the first person I think of when I hear "tiger"...and he was holding the house up while Celes rescued the kid. But he never burned. So dunno. The only other reference to tigers is the tiger mask, I believe.

I'm guessing "hope" refers to the hope that your allies are all alive, as Sabin is the first you discover, and Celes suddenly realizes others may be alive.

[Eagleheart]

I will say, with regards to my riddle, that musenji has the right way of going about it, each stanza is to be tackled separately. And, because I know it isn't terribly clear, what you're looking for is alluded to in the last stanza.

Also, I hope no one is put off by this riddle, given how long and weird it is. It's an intricate sort of style, and admittedly not one I've written a lot in, but it can make for a really neat riddle if done well.

[Siegfried]

I have no ide...Odin/Raiden???

[Eagleheart]

Nope.

[blackmage_nuke]

Colleseum

[musenji]

New center for the stage is found, (Celes)
Only stage again is changed, (world of ruin)
Belief defines her faith anew, (belief in better world? friends?)
Let death the path arrange (Cid?)


Found in halls of ancient stone, (Doma?)
Making beauty, hands of war. (Cyan?)

[musenji]

#1: Sabin.

Effervescent hope is found, (the hope that your allies are all alive)
In malefic raining light, (Kefka's light of judgement)
Six minutes for the saviour, (six minutes for Celes to save the kid)
Tiger, tiger burning bright. (holding up the house, "feeling the burn" :D)

#2: Terra.

Aether gilded, heaven blessed, (blessed with heavenly power)
Resigned to the mundane, (stuck on earth)
Till the nature of desire, (love, desire to save world/children/help allies)
Breaks the hold of terra's chains. (her being stuck at mobliz [terra means earth!])

#3: Edgar.

Heartbeat of the lions twain, (Sabin and Edgar BUT YOU SAID SABIN WAS A TIGER LIAR LIAR)
Evading what is true, (his real name. "I'm Gerad!")
Heedless on despite repute, (you might think he's a petty thief)
Enchained to give what's due. (arrangement with other thieves?)

#4: Celes.

New center for the stage is found, (Celes is now the protagonist)
Only stage again is changed, (World of Ruin = different landscape)
Belief defines her faith anew, (??)
Let death the path arrange. (Cid can die helping you)

#5: Cyan.

Found in halls of ancient stone, (zozo mountains)
Making beauty, hands of war. (a warrior writing love letters)
And a fitting line of tribute,
Names the way of those called forth.


If you rearrange the stanzas in chronological order of when you can acquire these characters in the World of Ruin, the left side spells out "Noble is the heart bf man". (I think you changed the "o" line but forgot to keep it starting with O.)

Now, I'm not quite sure what to do from here. I think it was pretty open as to what to do next after finding these five characters.

...Okay, I did a little work and found out that Cyan recited those words. Okay, and then he said he bumped into Gau. So the next place you go, or at least the answer to this riddle, is:

THE VELDT

[Eagleheart]

Very, very good! You're right about me changing the line (d'oh!), but you got it anyway. Very good. Now, just to tie up some loose ends and clarify some things:

For stanza 2 I was actually thinking of Setzer (the stanza as a whole is sort of referring to how he used to fly but now is stuck on land), because you need him to get to Cyan, but you got the order right anyway.

"Heartbeat of the lions twain,"
I was referring to the association of lion=king, and also the fact that both Sabin and Edgar are Leos.
"Enchained to give what's due."
I was actually thinking that it's his duty as a king to save his people.

Belief defines her faith anew, (??)
After Celes attempts suicide following Cid's death, she finds a bird with Locke's bandana and she starts to think her friends might be alive.

[musenji]

In the very beginning, a promise is made to you,
but only in a den of liars will it finally come true.

[blackmage_nuke]

The promise locke made to terra to protect her, I think den of liars is refering to zozo when he goes to get her

[musenji]

Boy, that makes sense, but not what I was looking for. "Promise" doesn't actually refer to a spoken promise.

[blackmage_nuke]

Gah, my next guess would have been the promise from locke to celes.

[musenji]

Yeah...when I say very beginning, I mean VERY beginning.

[Eagleheart]

Ohh...the ghost guy in Zozo who teaches you about Espers? Isn't it said in the tutorial place in the beginning that there will be other places you can go to learn? Yet the guy in Zozo is the only other teacher you find.

[musenji]

Nope, see last hint.

[edit] Okay, I don't feel like dragging this one out. The riddle refers to the stormy skies on the title screen (promising rain), and the fact that you don't see actual rain until much later, in Zozo. Maybe a stretch--I should've added more lines.

...And my sister just came up with an even better answer: Arvis's promise that Terra's memory will return, which happens in Zozo. So, folks, this is an example of a BAD riddle, due to the whole "multiple answers being better than the one I had in mind" deal. :)

Anyway, floor's open, anyone who wants to post one may do so!

[blackmage_nuke]

Known with rate at one
When found the traveler worn
It flies and does not run
It is life's final form

[bipper]

?????? ghost?

Known with rate at one - you can only have one at a time
When found the traveler worn - yeah, he is a worn our traveler
It flies and does not run - he has no freakin legs man, and you are making fun of him for it! :mad2:
It is life's final form - he is a ghost. Is that life's final form, or death's first form?:mog:

[blackmage_nuke]

Good, but no...
I tried to make it easy so someone could quickly solve it and put up another riddle...
BTW i think if shadow leaves your party before the train you can have 2

[Halenite]

wouldn't that be the characters labeled ??? which are ghosts? If so bipper is correct

[blackmage_nuke]

No

The last line should be taken more literally

[Eagleheart]

The little angel that comes when you cast the Life3 spell?

Known with rate at one - it either restores you with 1 HP or there's only 1 of them
When found the traveler worn - appears for KO'd characters
It flies and does not run - rather obvious, the little angel flies
It is life's final form - just what it says, the last form of the life spell

[blackmage_nuke]

Correct

But the reasonings abit different

Rate at one - Life 3 is learnt at a rate of x1
Traveler worn- you get it when you find locke

The rest is right

[Eagleheart]

Excellent. Floor is open.
