My God, what a riddle

A bomb.

[Comet]

I think most of us need a clue already.

[BG-57]

Is it when Squalls party meet Selphies party, and Selphie nd co are in th Iron Clod?

It's not the second Iron Clad boss fight.


A bomb.

Not a bomb.


I think most of us need a clue already.

Try solving it piecemeal.

[Hyperion4444]

[QUOTE=Comet;2290201]I think most of us need a clue already.

Try solving it piecemeal.

That just screwed us up even more.

[The Last Oath]

Why did you say SECOND?

[The Last Oath]

I keep coming back to the whole missle crisis, when they travel to the base, and/or the missles themselves travelling.

[BG-57]

It's nothing to do with the Missle Base or missles.

[Mongotha]

Anything to do with the train hijacking?

[Hyperion4444]

I would say that it's the battleship island, but what?
Eden.
?

[BG-57]

Anything to do with the train hijacking?

Nope.

Eden.

[ff is da best]

im just guessing now.
is it ultima weapon?

[BG-57]

this is even more confusing then the ff7 riddles dude!:p

Sorry, but isn't that the point of a riddle? :D


lol Oblivion

Lunar Cry?

Not the Lunar Cry.


The first, or the second??????????

Clad in crimson flames - (Not Pheonix nor Ifrit???) Ruby Dragon?
One clad in yellow hues - Siren??

is it Fasticalon?

The second. Water is close to the answer for line 7.

I said it had nothing to do with GFs. It's also not monsters of any kind.


im just guessing now.
is it ultima weapon?

It's not Ultima Weapon.

[The Last Oath]

Party A which has relations to Flames is searching for Party B which has relations to yellow and is somewhere near the water???

[BG-57]

It's not so much a story as a list. Each line stands on its own, connected to the others only by a common theme. Let me parse it:

Clad in crimson/ flames/
The Magistrate journeys/
Along the country lane/
Keeping an eye out for/ (closest guess is looking)
One clad in yellow hues/
Who foolishly adores/
The still deep waters/ (closest guess is water)
And all that live in it/

[Comet]

MARTINE!

Clad in crimson flames - The Ifrit card is covered in crimson flames
The Magistrate journeys - The Magistrate (Headmaster of Galbadia) journeys
Along the country lane - FH?
Keeping an eye out for - Looking for the card
One clad in yellow hues
Who foolishly adores - Likes
The still deep waters - Water
And all that live in it - Fishing?

[Darth Tjador]

dude i thin u got it!!!!:Big grin:

[BG-57]

Nice guess, but it's not Martine.

However, you are close with lines 6 and 8.

Clad in crimson/ flames/
The Magistrate journeys/
Along the country lane/
Keeping an eye out for/ (closest guess is looking)
One clad in yellow hues/
Who foolishly adores/ (closest guess is likes)
The still deep waters/ (closest guess is water)
And all that live in it/ (closest guess is fishing)

[Hyperion4444]

Clad in crimson flames - Moomba 'toy'/Galbadian Garden
The Magistrate journeys - Travels
Along the country lane - the Continent
Keeping an eye out for - Looking for
One clad in yellow hues - Shumi 'artisant'/Balamb Garden
Who foolishly adores - Likes
The still deep waters - Water
And all that live in it - Frog. /Monsters?

I don't know about the gardens... but that's all I got.
At this point, I don't care who guesses it as long we can move on.

[BG-57]

Frog is close for line 8.

[Hyperion4444]

Clad in crimson flames - Moomba 'toy'
The Magistrate journeys - Travels
Along the country lane - the Continent
Keeping an eye out for - Looking for
One clad in yellow hues - Shumi 'artisant'
Who foolishly adores - Likes
The still deep waters - Water of the pond.
And all that live in it - and Frog?

[BG-57]

It's nothing to do with the Shumi Tribe. Balamb and Galbadia Gardens are not involved either. However, a garden is related to the answers.

Clad in crimson/ flames/
The Magistrate journeys/
Along the country lane/
Keeping an eye out for/ (closest guess is looking)
One clad in yellow hues/
Who foolishly adores/ (closest guess is likes)
The still deep waters/ (closest guess is water)
And all that live in it/ (closest guesses are fishing/frog)

[Hyperion4444]

Is is the Master Fisherman?

[BG-57]

No, but he would want one of the answers.

[ff is da best]

by da way what kind of answer are u looking for???

[Hyperion4444]

OMG.

The old man Master Fisherman that ask you to shearch for his pupil who likes fishing, then you see him and he trashes the junk shop store and nearly kills the owner while Squall saved his life. Going back to confirm that did spoke with him for him to unveil a secret on how fisherman horizon was established.
Then goes off to shumi village to fish and plays a crappy get on-your-nerves song that I just mute.

Is this good enought?

[BG-57]

by da way what kind of answer are u looking for???

There are nine answers represented by the eight lines of the riddle (one line has two answers), all connected by the common theme. I would accept just the theme, but I strongly suggest solving at least a few of the lines first. Three lines are a synonym away from being solved.

A bit overdone actually. Back up a bit: what is the basic goal of any fisherman?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Is it the liberation of Balamb Town? Raijin the commander (yellow text) and Fujin the captain (red text), and the stuff with Badamb fish?

[BG-57]

It's not related to Balamb or the hotel fish but a fish is involved.

[Hyperion4444]

Levianthan.

[BG-57]

Not Leviathan. Nor any other GF or monster.

[KH-Cloudy]

Um..Seifer looking for fish?

[The Last Oath]

I dont know why Squall and the gang would be dressed in Crimson Flame(perhaps because they crashed, i.e fire)

But is it when they go to say sorry to Mayor Dobe?? ..He does wear a yellow shirt

[Rantz]

Clad in crimson/ Red Clothes (Xerampelinae)
flames/ Fire (Ignus)
The Magistrate journeys/ Judgement (Iudicium)
Along the country lane/ Tree-lined Road (Xystus)
Keeping an eye out for/ Watchman (Vigil)
One clad in yellow hues/ Cowardice (Inaudax)
Who foolishly adores/ Love (Venus)
The still deep waters/ Flood (Inandantia)
And all that live in it/ Swordfish (Xiphias)

For line 6, it could also be referring to Trauma, who is fought after the puzzle is solved. But I'm inclined to think that it refers to Cowardice (Inaudax), either because someone depicted in the pain is clad in yellow, or the whole painting might have a yellow tone. The reason I'm guessing this is because it leaves only the paintings Sleep (Intervigilium), Garden (Vividarium) and Messenger (Viator), the only paintings actually used in the real puzzle.

Either way, I'm not sure if the answers for each line suffices as an answer for the riddle, but I'll just mention, for good measure, that the theme would be the Clock/Painting puzzle in Ultimecia's castle. :)

This makes quite a lot of sense, I would be suprised if it was incorrect.

Um..Seifer looking for fish?

Nope.

You are correct, Sir. :D

The only quibble is that cowards are sometimes referred to as being yellow (or yellow-bellied), which all I meant by that line.

I thought it was high time the leftover paintings were featured in their own puzzle, so this was it.



This makes quite a lot of sense, I would be suprised if it was incorrect.

As would I. ;)

[Rantz]

Since I already have a riddle going in the FFVII thread, here's an easy one so someone else can get a turn:

I, an achromatic cuboid,
deliver you from timberland.

[ff is da best]

is it a train.

[Rantz]

Nope.

[The Last Oath]

The Radio Tower

[Rantz]

Nay!

[BG-57]

The first line sounds like black box.

[Rantz]

Is that anything from the game? Anyway, that's not it. :)

[BG-57]

I don't think so, but it's a fair translation of that line.

Is it Lunatic Pandora?

[ff is da best]

is it that big spider machine u fight at the radio tower place.

[Darth Tjador]

its at the school when its attacked

[Rantz]

I don't think so, but it's a fair translation of that line.
Oh! Well, it's not exactly it but yeah, close.

Is it Lunatic Pandora?
Nope.

is it that big spider machine u fight at the radio tower place.
It's not the X-ATM092.

its at the school when its attacked
No.

Both lines are literal and the second line is, arguably, most important.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Is it a car?

[Rantz]

It is a car, but a particular one.

[The Last Oath]

Is it a rented Car???

[Rantz]

Nope.

[Comet]

Is it that yellow car that Selphie uses to get to the Missible Base?

[Rantz]

Nope. Look up "achromatic" :)

[Darth Tjador]

is it the car that u drive in the first disk not rental or selphies

[The Last Oath]

Its the war vehicle that Laguna uses when you drive from Timber to Deliing.

[Hyperion4444]

ok next

[Rantz]

Its the war vehicle that Laguna uses when you drive from Timber to Deliing.
Yeah, that's right. Your go :)

[The Last Oath]

Some Shall Gain From Me
Some shall not Gain From Me
But be sure to have what you need to have...

[Comet]

Edea.

[The Last Oath]

no, not Edea

[Hyperion4444]

Omega Weapon

[The Last Oath]

wrong...

When i say, Some will gain from "Me" it doesnt neccessarily mean a person or being.

[Liberi_Fatali]

It's Pupu.

If you don't have enough Elixers, then your encounter with him is pointless.

[Hyperion4444]

um....
heaven and hell island?

[ff is da best]

is it when u train.
u gain exp
sometimes u dont gain exp

[The Last Oath]

no to all...

Try and think of when individual characters may gain over others. Its your choice who makes the gain ;)

[Hyperion4444]

Your current party./Charaters KOed./ GFs?

[Liberi_Fatali]

The Vit Bonus, Mag Bonus, HP Bonus, Str Bonus, etc. abilities that GFs learn and that you can Junction to your characters so that everytime they level up, your characters get a little added boost.

[ReloadPsi]

AP? It's only useful if you've got an ability you ain't yet finished learning.

[The Last Oath]

nice guesses guys.... but im sorry its not right. Got nothing to do with GF's... but to make the gain you have to use an ability you equip from ANY GF.

[Hyperion4444]

Gilgamesh!!!!

[The Last Oath]

ahah no, not sure how u got that

[Liberi_Fatali]

Then is it the magic junctioning system itself? If you don't have enough of a certain magic, then it won't raise the characters' abilities much. That's all I can think of that all GFs have in common, besides Magic, GF, Draw, and Item.

[The Last Oath]

Liberi Fatali your the closest. Magic is close, and so is the common GF abilities.

[Liberi_Fatali]

...Boost?

[Hyperion4444]

APs

[The Last Oath]

nopeeee... Think of what you can gain when you have a common GF abiliity equiped...

[Hyperion4444]

Junction, Commands?

[The Last Oath]

well yes, you have to junction it... there are many commands, which one specifically is the answer related to? (very closely related)

*the answeer isnt a command but you have to equip the specific command to do what you do in my riddle*

[Hyperion4444]

GF Command Junction.
"Like Defend, Recover, Revive, Mad Rush, Treatment, Doom.... Absorb, Dark Side... "

[Liberi_Fatali]

...Mug?

[Hyperion4444]

Repost

Some Shall Gain From Me
Some shall not Gain From Me
But be sure to have what you need to have...

[The Last Oath]

The more common ones sharded amongst GF's... Again, the answer isnt a command it is what the command alows you to do.

[Liberi_Fatali]

Then is it a type of magic that you cast?

[The Last Oath]

getting closer...

[Liberi_Fatali]

Is it reflect? It will help you if you're fighting against an enemy that uses a lot of magic, but if you don't "have what you need", i.e., your characters have low health or you haven't cast a spell on them that you would like them to have, like Aura or Haste, then you'll be inconvenienced-- you'd have to use Items to cure them and go without Aura and Haste.

[The Last Oath]

no...

Ill help you out.. its not a spell...

but it has something to do with magic

[Liberi_Fatali]

I would say Draw, but that's a command... Is it the magic refining abilities like Recov Med-RF, Time Mag-RF, etc?

[The Last Oath]

You are so close with saying Draw...

[Hyperion4444]

Magic Element
oh, absorb magic resistance over 100%
is that it?
Junctioning it, of course

[Darth Tjador]

limit maybe?

[The Last Oath]

No No. Remeber, You were close by saying the "Draw" command

Repost:

Some Shall Gain From Me
Some shall not Gain From Me
But be sure to have what you need to have...

[Liberi_Fatali]

...I'm stumped.
Another hint, maybe?

[BG-57]

Is it one of the bosses in Ultimecia's Castle that you can draw a GF from only if you missed drawing it from an earlier boss?

Sphinxaura perhaps?

[Hyperion4444]

Stocking Magic

[The Last Oath]

Yeah I'll give stocking magic... A draw point to be more precise though :D

your go

[Hyperion4444]

Really?
Ok, I'll be rigth back with something good.

[Liberi_Fatali]

I'm taking Hyperion's turn, since it's been well over two days. Here we go:

If you love us, come early--
follow the red road.
If you love your girl more surely,
tell her carefully, slowly,
else you choke.

Who are we???

[The Last Oath]

The first part refers to the hotdogs in balamb garden
the second part refers to telling your girl wateva slowly otherwise you'll choke on the hotdog...

We are the hotdogs????

[Liberi_Fatali]

Yep you got it. Your go.

[The Last Oath]

lol, you can go again if u want. i cant be bothered thinking of one

[The Last Oath]

ANYONE can take my turn....

[Hyperion4444]

I am hidden among many.
4 of a kind unlocks my identity.
May I be merely an option.
Rare are the ones like me.

(I'm taking back my turn.)

[lover of FF8]

hello everyone if it is ok i would like to post a riddle

[lover of FF8]

[The Last Oath]

lover of ff8. To post a riddle you must correctly answer a riddle or have someone generous (like me:D) give you there turn..

[lover of FF8]

thank you
here is the riddle

If you wish to obtain this dark power
then set a side your true desire
fight as one and remember
that the battle will end sooner then never.

[lover of FF8]

it has been a day and nobody posted an answer to the riddle.

[The Last Oath]

If you wish to obtain this dark power - Eden
then set a side your true desire - Beating Ultima
fight as one and remember - its a tough fight

???

[lover of FF8]

the last oath got line 3 correct , but got part of line 4.

[lover of FF8]

[Eiko Guy]

its still hyperions turn.

[lover of FF8]

ok but hyperions still did not say who had the right answer

[Comet]

ok but hyperions still did not say who had the right answer


Do you understand how this thread works? Clearly you don't, so let me explain. A person posts a riddle, and you have got to figure it out. If it is the correct answer, THEN you post you riddle. OK?

[lover of FF8]

ok that is great comet but still there is no right answer for the riddle yet
just wondering if some one got it yet

[Comet]

I'm pretty sure that if someone got it, they would post it.

[Hyperion4444]

No one yet.
And don't steal my turn!

Yeah, it could almost fit, however, it's far from the answer.

[edea666]

Althought it's extremely similar in some case, but Hidden among Many doesn't work quite well since the whole group is hidden.
Technically need to defeat 5 opponents before King.
And I agree that girls the calibur such of the likes of Quistis is rare, but that's not what I'm looking for here.

Hint: It's an Item.

[Comet]

Solomon's Ring :D

[edea666]

:choc: :choc: i know what it is(not really) it is a :tonberry::choc: :choc:

[The Last Oath]

lol. imagine if tonberry was an item

[edea666]

that would be aweswome cause they are cute but not good it would kill you with its awesome little knife.

:tonberry::tonberry:

[Hyperion4444]

Close but not it.
It does say, rare are the ones like, meaning there's more than 1 since it's not unique.

[The Last Oath]

Did you say it was an item?

[Hyperion4444]

Yeah, a rare one, only a few of them in the game.
So it's not the Solomon Ring.
Another Item.
Granted, all the suggestions made here fits in extremly well, nice work.

[The Last Oath]

The Rosetta Ring?

[Hyperion4444]

Rosseta Ring?
There's no ring just Rosseta Stone and nope.
Thing of the sidequest that you need to collect 4 of a kind to solve.

[The Last Oath]

i cant be bothered counting but is it the stones you have to collect in the Shumi Village? Perhaps leading to the Phoenix Pinion?

[ReloadPsi]

After you've met the UFO four times, you'll encounter PuPu.

So PuPu is my guess.

[Hyperion4444]

Nope and Nope.

[Takara]

The pieces you need to collect to repair the vase in the Winhill sidequest.

[Hyperion4444]

nope

[Comet]

Is it those stones for the obel lake sidequest.

[Hyperion4444]

Yes, so what's the prize?

[BG-57]

Abuse from Mr. Monkey. :monkey:

Aside from that, you can get a Three Stars, which can teach Expendx3-1 to a GF.

[demondude]

Come on everyone we can beat those final fantasy X riddlers.

[Liberi_Fatali]

Well, you earn a Three Stars if you complete the quest.

[The Last Oath]

i think mr BG already got that LF

[Liberi_Fatali]

Oops my bad

[BG-57]

I was waiting for comfirmation by Hyperion4444, but it's been a while now. At any rate I think Comet should have this next one, since he put in all the legwork.

[The Last Oath]

Someone take his turn

[BG-57]

Okay.

For mercenary types
A score and a half
Of work to do
With binary results

[ReloadPsi]

The SeeD test in the Tutorial menu?

"For Mercenary types" would have to mean it's for SeeDs.

"Score and a half" is thirty, the number of levels to the tests.

The "binary results" would be the "Y" and "N" answers you have to give. (Basically the same as either 1 or 0)

[BG-57]

Yep. Your go. :)

[ReloadPsi]

It's clear as crystal, you will see
The price of making a target of me
Millenumeral is the cost
Plus a little time, that's all we lost
So when you think we're going down
We'll wear the bovine as our crown

[lover of FF8]

is it the tornberry king

[ReloadPsi]

Nope.

[Gennosuke]

Bahamut/Ultima weapon?

[ReloadPsi]

Still not there.

Hint time! The line mentioning cost is to be taken literally. Millenumeral is a word I made up, try and deconstruct it.

[The Last Oath]

It's clear as crystal, you will see - the answer is simple
The price of making a target of me - corresponds to the first line
Millenumeral is the cost - costs a lot?
Plus a little time, that's all we lost - takes time to do
So when you think we're going down - not to sure
We'll wear the bovine as our crown - it is rewarding?

On the right track?

Is it the Lion Heart?

[ReloadPsi]

It's not Lion Heart.

[Lionheart-BAM]

Is it the tonberry thing where you kill 20

[ReloadPsi]

Not that either :(

Millenumeral is a word I just made up. It refers to a number.

[Aerith's Knight]

i remem there was one sidequest that costs a lot of money.. but i cant remem it.

[BG-57]

Mille means 1000 in Latin. That brings to mind 1000 needles.

Jumbo Cactuar?

[ReloadPsi]

Nope, but 1000 is out in the open.

[Gennosuke]

Thats the definition of Bovine, not thats its helped me get any closer to the answer though:(


–adjective
1.of or pertaining to the subfamily Bovinae, which includes cattle, buffalo, and kudus.
2.oxlike; cowlike.
3.stolid; dull.
–noun
4.a bovine animal

[Aerith's Knight]

maybe a monster that steals your money

[BG-57]

Makes me think of the GF Brothers Minotaur and Sacred.

[ReloadPsi]

It's neither a monster nor a GF.

[Lionheart-BAM]

Is it cactuar or jumbo cactuar since.. its rewarding with the ap but its hard to kill em sometimes because their so fast

[Lionheart-BAM]

Oh wait its not a monster...

[The Last Oath]

can we have a repost since i cbf going back a page

[BG-57]

Is it the UFO? It carries a cow at one point.

[ReloadPsi]

No sir, it's not the UFO either.

What we've established so far:

-The number 1000 has something to do with it
-Not a monster or a GF
-Not Lion Heart
-Not the UFO

[Aerith's Knight]

maybe refining an item... that can cost something.. and 1000 items or something like that.. aah too hard

*uses psychic beam and kills everyone*

[ReloadPsi]

I just realised that a very important hint is useful here. This riddle isn't written in the first person, but from the point of view of the person using the thing being described.

[Comet]

Is it Holy-War?

[ReloadPsi]

Is it Holy-War?

It's not, but you're close, sort of.

[Gennosuke]

Is it a Hero?

[ReloadPsi]

Nah, Hero is slightly less similar to the correct answer.

[BG-57]

Holy War Trial?

[The Last Oath]

Ohhhhh, i thought the guy who said hero had it in the bag...

Hero Trial?

dont think there is one though

[ReloadPsi]

Neither of those, you're just kind of off categorically!

[Aerith's Knight]

laguna card?

[ReloadPsi]

Laguna card is further off course.

[BG-57]

Can we eliminate Triple Triad cards then?

How about the namesakes of the cards then. Like, say, Gilgamesh?

[ReloadPsi]

It's not Gilgamesh either. We already got the fact that it's not a monster or a summon :p

[Aerith's Knight]

and its not a card either?.. so its an item?

hmm lemme think.. what was it again that those GF cards refine into.. cant remem.. ah well..

[ReloadPsi]

Not an item.

Come on people, where's all the usual deconstruction of the riddle, trying to figure out the meaning of each line?

[Aerith's Knight]

you make em too hard.. and i havent played the game in a year :P

*om my god blasfemy* :)

[ReloadPsi]

Repost:

Millenumeral is the cost - We've learned that the number 1000 is referred to here
Plus a little time, that's all we lost
So when you think we're going down
We'll wear the bovine as our crown - We've learned that bovine=cow; this is a fairly vague reference to the answer... think of nursery rhymes

People have come close with Hero and Holy War, but veered right off course again :p

If nobody has this by Monday morning I'm gonna reveal the answer and leave it open, as any more hints I can think of will pretty much give it all away.

[Juggernaut]

No monsters, summons, cards, or items......

Well, I don't have any clue, so I'll say I'll just say:

Chocobo? :choc2: :choc2: :choc2: :choc2:

[BG-57]

Both items cause invincibility, so it could be an ability itself.

Or maybe...a Limit Break?

Is it Invincible Moon?

Referring the cow jumping over the moon and all that?

[ReloadPsi]

Yay! It turns you clear, costs 1000 Gil (for the magazine) and then you just have to spend a while running around learning it.

Your go.

[BG-57]

Pain is the reward
For the lovelorn
Have your people
Talk to my people

[The Last Oath]

whats the meaning of lovelorn?

[BG-57]

lovelorn (n) Deprived of love.

[licence]

Hmmm, tricky one.

[Aerith's Knight]

too hard.. its no fun that way

[Liberi_Fatali]

Makes me think of Ellone for some reason.

[BG-57]

It's not Ellone, and I'll give hints upon request.

[Aerith's Knight]

squall in flashback where he is young?

[BG-57]

It's not Squall's flashback, but it is an event.

[Gennosuke]

Is it Squall getting hit by the "Ice bolts" created by Edea at the end of the first disc?

[BG-57]

It's not Edea's ice bolts.

Repost:

Pain is the reward

[Aerith's Knight]

when rinoa gets put in that ice containment thingie with the wires and dorky looking equipment?

[BG-57]

It's not the thingie.

[Gennosuke]

rinoa n squall in space??

[The Last Oath]

Is it when The White SeeDs come to pick up Ellone from the Garden?

[BG-57]

rinoa n squall in space??

No, although they could contribute to Line 3.


Is it when The White SeeDs come to pick up Ellone from the Garden?

Not the White SeeDs.

[Takero]

It's FH getting attacked by Galbadians

[BG-57]

No, but fighting is involved.

[Aerith's Knight]

rinoa/adel event in lunatic pandora?

[Gennosuke]

Is the battle between Squall and Seifer, in the opening FMV??

[BG-57]

No to both, although the answer is a boss fight.

[ReloadPsi]

Uh, is it Laguna and co. vs the Ruby Dragon?
