Final fantasy 8 riddles

[Aerith's Knight]

Seifer final showdown?

[BG-57]

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

Nope.


Seifer final showdown?

It's not related to Seifer.

Repost:

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

[Gennosuke]

Grenaldo & Raldo??

[The Last Oath]

another hint?

[belkor_teh_magnificent]

Rinoa and Squall are the "your people"? That line makes me think of high-up, important people...so is it the fight with Edea at the end of Disc 1?

[BG-57]

It's not Granaldo and Raldo.

Riona and Squall are among those considered your people, but the specific persons are arbitrary.

Gennosuke is on the right track with multiple bosses.

[ReloadPsi]

Surely it's not the Time-Compressed Sorceresses... is it?

[Liberi_Fatali]

FUJIN and Raijin?

[rubah]

NORG fight in the garden battle?

[Gennosuke]

Seifer and Edea?

[BG-57]

Surely it's not the Time-Compressed Sorceresses... is it?

It isn't.


FUJIN and Raijin?

It's not the wonder twins.


NORG fight in the garden battle?

It's not NORG.


Seifer and Edea?

Again, it's nothing to do with Seifer.

Pain is the reward
For the lovelorn
Have your people (Your party)
Talk to my people (The foes)

[Gennosuke]

Biggs and Wedge?

[The Last Oath]

When Kiros tells Squall and co to come see the president of esthar(Laguna) about defeating the sorceress?

[BG-57]

Biggs and Wedge?

It's not them.


When Kiros tells Squall and co to come see the president of esthar(Laguna) about defeating the sorceress?

No, it's a battle.

[demondude]

You guys are so hardcore when it comes to riddles. :(

[Gennosuke]

Scared and Minataur....?

[rubah]

well, you see some love by squall to rinoa in the iguon battle x.x; *grasping at straws*

[BG-57]

It's not Sacred and Minotaur.

It's not the Igunion battle.

I think it's time for a hint here:

You'll need either Line 1 or 2 to solve the riddle without working by elimination. Look for a place where you don't want Love. Not love, but Love.

Repost:

Pain is the reward
For the lovelorn
Have your people (Your party)
Talk to my people (The foes)

[ReloadPsi]

Is the enemy flying, or at least immune to earth spells? See I get the feeling that "Love" as a proper noun refers to "Brotherly Love", the Brothers' summon spell, and apparently we don't want it.

With that in mind, plus the party<-> enemy dialogue, I'm guessing it's VS Bahamut.

[Comet]

Is it Forbidden?

[BG-57]

It's not Bahamut.


Is it Forbidden?

Nope.

[Caveroamer]

Is it when Squall and Rinoa are on The Ragnarok in Space and they have to Fight those Mini Boss Fights the Propagators?

[BG-57]

No, anyone in the active party can participate in this battle.

[Gennosuke]

Oilboyle battle??

[BG-57]

It's not Oilboyles.

[Gennosuke]

is it cerberus???

[Caveroamer]

Battle with Odin? or the Tonberrys

[Tallulah]

Umm... Tiamat?

[Agent0042]

I'm fairly new here, but just for the record, is there any time limit whatsoever? Maybe it's me, but it seems to me to be something of a game-killer to hold people in suspense with the same riddle for nearly two weeks.

All right... does it have something to with the Fisherman's Horizon concert or anything around that event?

[Gennosuke]

There isnt a time limit, and the point is to make them hard, 2 weeks is a long time, but if 'we' cant figure it out then thats our fault, what would be the point in making them really easy?>? Oh and welcome to EOFF, :D

[BG-57]

is it cerberus???

No.


Battle with Odin? or the Tonberrys

No to both.


Umm... Tiamat?

Nope.

No, it's to do with a battle against multiple bosses by a party whose individual composition doesn't matter. Another prerequisite is to be without Love.

I'm sure many here will recall painful memories of the FFIX riddle which lasted months. I consider myself generous with hints so it shouldn't take that long.

[rubah]

I think this is the point we start spouting off multiple bosses 8)

for my part: Ultimecia+Griever?

[ReloadPsi]

So is it a boss fight on the first two discs? Squall still isn't showing his feelings towards Rinoa at this stage.

And was I definitely wrong about Love with a capital L referring to the Brothers' summon attack?

[Aerith's Knight]

the whole thing with balamb and the occupation and everything with the wonder twins?

[BG-57]

No, but you're close.

No and yes.

It's not Fujin and Raijin.

[Liberi_Fatali]

The boss fight against Adel when Rinoa is stuck on her chest.

[BG-57]

Nope.

[Gennosuke]

Sphinxaur?

[BG-57]

Getting warmer.

[Gennosuke]

Gargantua??????

[BG-57]

No, but equally close.

[Gennosuke]

Trauma????????????????????????

[BG-57]

We have a winner! :D

Pain is the reward (Trauma causes pain)
For the lovelorn (Venus or Love is not one of the solutions to the painting puzzle)
Have your people (Your party)
Talk to my people (Trauma and the Dromas)

Your go, Gennosuke.

[Aerith's Knight]

lolx i would have never guessed that.. i used a walkthrough on that part.. didnt even look at the names :p

[The Last Oath]

DAMN, i was just gonna say that!!

[Gennosuke]

Enjoying taking a skywalk,
Discovering a thing from a different time,
Helping to increase the manliness scale,
A cardinal number of celestial bodies

[ReloadPsi]

The "manliness scale" and "different time" have gotta be a reference to the Laguna dreams, but the rest of the riddle is a bit of a toughie at the moment.

[The Last Oath]

:O. the time when Squall has the laguna dream just before entering the city of Esthar!!!

[Gennosuke]

nothing to do with the dream though.bt the third line is Laguna.

[rubah]

was it when laguna got stuck playing the great knight fighting the ruby dragon?

[Gennosuke]

Nah not the ruby dragon episode.

[Tallulah]

Laguna, as president, visiting the space station?

[Aerith's Knight]

laguna checking on adel when he didnt need too?

[rubah]

is the thing from another time the ragnarok?

[Gennosuke]

Not the space station or Adel, and yes the thing from another time is indeed the Ragnarok:up:

[footem]

is it when you can beat laguna at cards and complete the collection of PC cards?

[rubah]

well, I say it's after ultimecia possesses rinoa to release adel, and lunar cry begins (celestial bodies), then they bump into the ragnarok and have to go clear out monsters the way laguna cleared out monsters from winhill.

or something xD

[Comet]

Is it...the Laguna Card?

[Gennosuke]

Nope, but a good guess though.:up:,,footem is closest though.

[ReloadPsi]

The CC Group gathering aboard the Ragnarok on disc 4?

[footem]

well i was thinking a cardinal number is something to do with a set, and a collection of celestial bodies could mean stars, so im thinking of something to do with adding a male figure (laguna) to a set of stars (the player character cards). Is this along the right lines? Is it the card game with ellone where you can win the Laguna card?

[Agent0042]

I'm sure many here will recall painful memories of the FFIX riddle which lasted months. I consider myself generous with hints so it shouldn't take that long.
Fascinating. On another board I've seen that does things like this, that would just be a game-killer because people would just forget about the thread, and it would wither and die and get lost. Not here, though, it would seem. Very persevering.

[The Last Oath]

versing Ellone in cards to gain Laguna.?

[Gennosuke]

Not the Laguna card,but the celestial bodies are Stars.Seriously close now. :D

[Comet]

Is it your space-suit...?

[ReloadPsi]

Three Stars.

Well three would bring Laguna's manliness scale back up to 0. The skywalk is running along the skyways in Esthar to go meet Laguna (normally only viewed in an alternate timeline) whom you've gotta play for Squall's card which refines into three Three Stars. (Or defeat Omega Weapon for one, whichever you prefer)

[Gennosuke]

Discovering a thing from a different time(Is the Ragnarok, which is the space ship in which you can eventually meet Laguna, And also referring to the past it is a sword in Final Fantasy VII) but the rest is spot on. ReloadPsi its your turn:up:

[The Last Oath]

Ooo, incorporating previous ff's into the riddle. nice

[ReloadPsi]

Okay, here's a really weird one: I've used a bunch of ridiculous internet memes to allude to the actual answer. Seeing as it's not against the rules to do any research on what the lines mean...

Once someone solves it, it'll become surprisingly clear.

For massive damage
Chargin mah lazer
While I move away from the mic, possibly forever
It's over nine thousand!

[Aerith's Knight]

bahamut summon?

[ReloadPsi]

Not quite, but it is a summon spell.

[rubah]

I just want to say that's one of the funnier riddles I've seen xD

summons? cactuar and eden are the only ones I've seen break 9000, let alone the damage limit, so Eden?

[ReloadPsi]

I just want to say that's one of the funnier riddles I've seen xD

summons? cactuar and eden are the only ones I've seen break 9000, let alone the damage limit, so Eden?

God, that was quick.

Yeah, his attack is called "Eternal Breath", and Tay Zonday famously "moved away from the mic to breathe in".

Your go!

[rubah]

Gather around children and hear this story
Of olden times of yore.
When kings and gods both walked our planet
But the witches hadn't yet come.

There was one knight,
Possessing a sight superior to the rest
Shewed his King a falsehood there,
Who was he, this sterling specimen of manhood rare?


Kinda easy but I haven't had much practice with this xD

[demondude]

Is it seifer. XD

[Agent0042]

9000? Totally threw me off, because the normal damage limit is 9999, not 9000.

[Comet]

Is it Hyne?

[Rantz]

Vascaroon? I'd reason for it but anyone who's heard of him should get it anyway. ;)

[rubah]

Vascaroon ftw 8)

[Rantz]

:)

Two friends have I, and yet two:
one, who sees red, though self blue
one, with a burden fit for three
two, sharpest friends you'll ever see

This should be quick.

[Aerith's Knight]

sacred brothers

[BG-57]

Sounds like Laguna and his pals Ward and Kiros.

[Aerith's Knight]

Sounds like Laguna and his pals Ward and Kiros.

ow yeah.. lol.. two sharpest.. kiros his blades.. that i didnt see it psh

[Rantz]

Very close, but not quite.

Not Minotaur and Sacred.

[sub zero]

seither with rajin and fujin

[Aerith's Knight]

his name is seifer.. :sweatdrop

[Rantz]

I'm afraid that's not right either.

[sillybuttons™]

Oh wow. its a bit scary being a nOOb lol. Hi all first post (be nice little kupos). Im gonna go for the GF Cerberus.

[anima_griever]

Is it anything to do with Biggs and Wedge?

[Gennosuke]

Am gonna go wit Norg.......

[Rantz]

BG-57 was very close, since then it's only gotten colder, sorry.

Welcome to EoFF, sillybuttons™! :)

Repost:

[BG-57]

Is it the Katal weapons themselves?

[Rantz]

No, but the last line references them, as you no doubt already realized.

[ReloadPsi]

The weapons of Laguna and Co.?

[Rantz]

Nope. The answer is quite simple really (i.e. nothing abstract, not a collection of anything, et cetera).

[The Last Oath]

Is it that guy, the very first sorcerer, i cant remember his name though.. Hyde? or something. Its in the information tutorial thing

[Rantz]

No, not Hyne. Remember that BG-57 has been really close to the right answer with both his guesses.

[BG-57]

Is it their limit breaks?

[sillybuttons™]

Kiros Seagill?
Edit - Lol ive just noticed editga and x-quote. Nice touch.

[ReloadPsi]

Hey, I think our new guy's got it! What an entrance!

[Rantz]

Indeed it's Kiros!

Two friends have I, and yet two: – Two pairs of "friends"
one, who sees red, though self blue – Laguna—his outfit is blue—"sees red" is a take on him watching Julia play, and the whole Eyes on Me theme
one, with a burden fit for three – Ward, whose weapon looks seriously heavy.
two, sharpest friends you'll ever see – Kiros' Katar weapons

You're up for the next riddle, sillybuttons™!

[BG-57]

Nicely done.

[Aerith's Knight]

indeed.. better than i ever did :p

[sillybuttons™]

Thanks all (modest blushes). I'm taking a bit of time to come up with a riddle and i wanna read right through the thread so i can see what is expected (doing my homework lol) So someone else can take my shot.:mog:

[Comet]

OK, I'll take your shot :D

What goes around
Comes around
But after
It's like wearing old clothes

Edit: Quite easy

[sillybuttons™]

I'm gonna try Time Compression:mog:

[Comet]

Not Time Compression.

[sillybuttons™]

What goes around
Comes around
And after
It's like wearing old clothes

The Orphanage/Edeas House?

[demondude]

When squall, zell and selphie change into their SEED outfits?

[The Last Oath]

Rinoa's phinweel attack?

[Aerith's Knight]

the sorceress powers of Edea?

[Comet]

No to all.

Repost:

But after
It's like wearing old clothes

Hint: It's not a location or an event

[Aerith's Knight]

old clothes? xD

[sillybuttons™]

My Final Heaven?:mog:
Edit - Or Selphies Slot

[Comet]

Not Final Heaven and not Selphie's Slot.

[Liberi_Fatali]

Doomtrain.

[Comet]

Not Doomtrain.

[The Last Oath]

Tornado?

[Comet]

Not Tornado

Hint:It's not a summon, either

[sillybuttons™]

D-District Prison?:mog:

[Comet]

Nope, not the prison either.

Hint: (again) It begins with R :D

[Caveroamer]

Ragnorak ?

[Comet]

Nah, not Ragnarok.

[ReloadPsi]

Revolver?

Squall's first weapon, has the whole "going around" thing going on, and is a really old kinda firearm, the "old clothes".

It comes of too much trying to find things beginning with "R"

[sillybuttons™]

SeeD?:mog:

[Comet]

Nope not the Revolver, and sillybuttons, read my hint before you say SeeD :mad:

[Aerith's Knight]

ruby light? (or reflect?)

[Comet]

Yes Yes, we have a winner. Reflect is the answer.

What goes around
Comes around <<<< Basically whatever magic you cast it reflects.

But after
It's likes wearing old clothes <<< After a period of time, reflect wears off

YOUR TURN

[Aerith's Knight]

OMG I WIN!!! *throws party*

ow boy.. now i have to..

cold all around us,
tears lead our way.
one chance, one try
even if only to say goodbye.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Thank God this is still going. XD At least something I revived is alive and well. :3 As for the riddle, which is quite good as it baffles me, I'm think the ending cutscene when Squall is trying to find Rinoa??? no idea really. X3

[Aerith's Knight]

nope.. nice try though

[sillybuttons™]

The bit in space where Squall has to catch Rinoa?:mog:

[demondude]

Thank God this is still going. XD At least something I revived is alive and well. :3 As for the riddle, which is quite good as it baffles me, I'm think the ending cutscene when Squall is trying to find Rinoa??? no idea really. X3

Not quite I made this thread. xD

[Aerith's Knight]

and sillybuttons guessed it

cold all around us, - space is cold
tears lead our way. - driven by emotion
one chance, one try - one jump
even if only to say goodbye. - at first youd think they'd die

[sillybuttons™]

Yaaaay.

Eight in twos,
Stop the lovers return.
Red then red,
You will soon learn.

[Aerith's Knight]

could you be more cryptic =)

[ReloadPsi]

The weird boss fight with an insane amount of sorceresses

[sillybuttons™]

could you be more cryptic =)

Sorry it's my first riddle. Theres hints if people think I've been too vague.

Not scorceress fights.:mog:

[Aerith's Knight]

eight might be the number of people in the parties..

two might be when they split up

red.. hmm maybe the adel thing in space.. that would mean the lover thing too..

ok im gonna go with the trip to space

[sillybuttons™]

Close Aerith's Knight (http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/aerith%2527s%2Bknight.html) with the space bit but the rest is wrong. Keep trying. :mog:

[footem]

Is it the alien propigator thingies on the ragnorok that you have to kill in coloured sets? I think there was eight of them, you had to kill the breeding pair (lovers) to stop them returning, you kill red after red etc?

[Aerith's Knight]

Is it the alien propigator thingies on the ragnorok that you have to kill in coloured sets? I think there was eight of them, you had to kill the breeding pair (lovers) to stop them returning, you kill red after red etc?

that makes sense

[sillybuttons™]

footem has it. Propagator.

Eight in twos, (There are 8 in all in pairs of colours)
Stop the lovers return. (Squall and Rinoa)
Red then red, (Obviously killing two reds and so on)
You will soon learn. (There is a hint on the Ragnoroks computer about the colours)

Your turn footem. :mog:

[ReloadPsi]

the breeding pair (lovers)

Ewww, double meaning :p

[The Last Oath]

thats was a nice riddle

[Liberi_Fatali]

Yes, it really was quite good.
Let's have another ;)

[footem]

ok sorry for delay!


You must face her
To see the quest through.
With one character then another,
Looks like she might kiss you!

[Comet]

Rinoa.

[footem]

Not Rinoah. The last line is cryptic (especially the last 2 words) and the line about "characters" may not mean what you think at first

[Aerith's Knight]

the sorceress powers that are passed to other people?

[Rantz]

The sorceresses fought during time compression?

You must face her
To see the quest through. - They are compulsory bosses
With one character then another, - They eventually change appearance
Looks like she might kiss you! - If this is supposed to be cryptic, I'm not sure. But they do kind of have a "come'ere and give yer auntie a big smooch" look over them, if I remember correctly! :)

[footem]

Nothing to do with sorceresses.

Hopefully its not too cryptic! Think how the last line might look if it were written down differntly (like in a text message)

[Rantz]

For my part, I love cryptic. :)

Now, when you say "like in a text message" I'm thinking either a) translated to the numbers corresponding to those letters on a phone, i.e. 5477 968 for "kiss you", or b) some kind of text message abbreviations. For "kiss you" this might be, for example, "kiss u", or "x u" (x as in "xoxo" :p)

"U" is, at least in the abbreviation R=U, representative of Ultimecia. Which brings us back to sorceresses. :grumble:

I'm just loosely speculating here, you don't need to tell me if I'm on the right track or not. It's just that typing out my speculations often helps me get ideas.

[Takara]

Xu.

You must face her
To see the quest through.
With one character then another, - You have to beat her in a game of Triple Triad, among others, during the CC Club Quest, in order to eventually play against King.
Looks like she might kiss you! - As Rantzien said, "kiss you" in text message can be translated to "x u", so Xu.

[Rantz]

Oh my god, I can't believe I did not see that. I actually read it in different ways to see if it could mean someting. xD Guess I haven't played the game for too long and forgot about her character.

[footem]

yes Xu is correct! :) for the reasons given. Takara's go, although Rantzien was very close!

[The Last Oath]

haha Kiss you - xu, very nice

[Takara]

Rantzien can have my turn; I'm not inspired to write a riddle at the moment, and I probably wouldn't have figured it out if it wasn't for the kiss you=x u thing.

[Rantz]

I surround you with strength in each dimension
Though I'm not offensive, do pay attention!
I'll help you, if properly employed
Neglect me? Expect to be destroyed.
So bring out your strong side and show me it
Your opponent's face will turn blue in a bit!

[Aerith's Knight]

Carbuncle? that or cerebus?

[Rantz]

Neither.

[sillybuttons™]

I surround you with strength in each dimension (A status change spell that helps - Reflect)
Though I'm not offensive, do pay attention! (Reflect is a defense spell))
I'll help you, if properly employed ( If used properly some monsters and boss will kill themselves)
Neglect me? Expect to be destroyed. (Cant use cure magics on a character with reflect)
So bring out your strong side and show me it (hmmm cant think of anything for this line)
Your opponent's face will turn blue in a bit! (Your opponent will die after time)

So, yeah, Reflect is my guess.:mog:

[Rantz]

Nope, not Reflect :)

Neglect me? Expect to be destroyed.
This line tells you that the answer may actually turn upon you if neglected.

[Cloud88]

I'm just gonna jump in here and have a go.

I surround you with strength in each dimension-Increases your strength
Though I'm not offensive, do pay attention!-Not a spell that causes damage
I'll help you, if properly employed-Self explanatory really
Neglect me? Expect to be destroyed.-I hope this bit fits in with my guess.
So bring out your strong side and show me it-Increase your strength/Physical attacks
Your opponent's face will turn blue in a bit!-and i'm not sure how this fits in.

So my guess is either gonna be the Berserk spell or the Mad rush ability from Ifrit.:) [!] google_ad_section_end [/!]

[footem]

is it the same/wall rule in cards?

If you show the wall the strongest side of your card ie an Ace, then you turn your opponents cards blue.

[ff is da best]

is it a sorceorus

[Rantz]

Same/Wall is correct!

I surround you with strength in each dimension - Each piece of wall can be considered an A, the strongest value
Though I'm not offensive, do pay attention! - It doesn't directly attack your cards
I'll help you, if properly employed - Use it right and it will be to your advantage
Neglect me? Expect to be destroyed. - If you don't watch out, your opponent can use it against you
So bring out your strong side and show me it - Use your cards so that their A's point outwards, towards the wall
Your opponent's face will turn blue in a bit! - Then, the faces of your opponent's cards will turn into blue.

Good job footem!

[sillybuttons™]

Nice riddle. "Your opponents FACE" - a big clue. Kudos Rantzien.:mog:

[Comet]

is it a sorceorus

wtf?

[BG-57]

Sounds like Sorceress to me.

[Aerith's Knight]

sounds more like sock-magus to me..

[ff is da best]

lol i didnt know how to properly spell it and i was in a hurry

[Rantz]

Nice riddle. "Your opponents FACE" - a big clue. Kudos Rantzien.:mog:
Thanks :) I really didn't expect it to get solved so soon.

[footem]

A flock of Birds that cannot fly
But at least they are on the right tracks
In spite of what their name may imply
They don't live in trees but plan attacks

[ReloadPsi]

The Forest Owls of Timber.

[footem]

yes! Blimey that was quick.

Self-explanetry really. Tracks referred to the train that they use as HQ.

Nice One!

[demondude]

It's been to long, sorry Reload psi but your turn is over.
The next riddle is up for grabs....

[Cledarius]

*yoink* takes riddle

I wanted to be a hero
but I'm not and that's good
Somehow I didn't have the guts to be
The tension was extreme
The end would've come too early.
and Story changing a lot.

not the best riddle made but have fun and don't get it to early ^^

[Aerith's Knight]

Seifer?

[Cledarius]

wrong, sorry

[Liberi_Fatali]

Irvine in Deling City?

[Cledarius]

Ding! That's right. Looks like it really was too easy. But I'm glad someone got it so fast, because I go on vacation for a week this evening.

[Liberi_Fatali]

Have fun on vacation! Anyway, here goes:

Girls dance with wooden lunatics
Until the storm comes.
The storm comes to a white fog.
In this zone, a whispered word
Entreats a small favor.
Be generous-- give him some goodies.
He'll return the favor with this: so cold, it's hot.

I tried not to make it too easy. If it's too hard, I'd be happy to give hints. Just figure out what this is.

[Rantz]

Is it the card you get from the drunk at the bar in Timber?

It's been very long since I played, so I don't remember what card that is, and my reasoning might have its faults. I'm thinking the first five lines might refer to the informer in Timber, who you say a secret word too (the fourth line referring to this word, the three first referring to other alternatives possibly?). Anyway, if you say this word, s/he might tell you which drinks (line six) to give the guy to get him to move, or something like that.

I feel like I'm way off, but you have to start somewhere :)

[Liberi_Fatali]

Actually, you hit on a lot of answers. It does have to do with a card. Something in the first five lines does refer to Timber. The fourth line isn't about a code, though.

[Liberi_Fatali]

Well, I lied. It doesn't have to do with a card. It is a card. It's just not from the drunk.

[Rantz]

Well, the Shiva Card then.

Reasoning as follows:
Girls dance with wooden lunatics - Wooden lunatics translates to Timber Maniacs, the place where you find the Naughty Magazine.
Until the storm comes.
The storm comes to a white fog. - Not sure about these two lines
In this zone, a whispered word - "zone" being a reference to the actual Zone, who...
Entreats a small favor. - ... gives you the card...
Be generous-- give him some goodies. - ... provided that you give him some "goodies", i.e. Naughty Magazine
He'll return the favor with this: so cold, it's hot. - Shiva is definitely the chilliest hot chick South of Shumi Village.

[Liberi_Fatali]

Yes, you're dead on. I thought that one would take a little longer to solve.

The two lines you didn't get were referring to Squall, since "squall" is another word for storm. The white fog was a reference to the white SeeD ship, where you find Zone.

[Rantz]

Ah, nice. I think I just got lucky with this one, it was a good riddle, cryptic enough and all. :)

Here we go:

I am what you get from a Vysage fight
What the Geezard does from morning to night
me is what you'll find in an Elnoyle room

[The Last Oath]

I am what you get from a Vysage fight
--Fighting dead bones
What the Geezard does from morning to night
--dies
me is what you'll find in an Elnoyle room
--seeing as it is powerful... death
What the coward gets when facing his doom
--death????

[Comet]

Is it Exeter?

[BG-57]

Vysage info:

Draw: Esuna, Haste, Bio
Drop: M-Stone, Magic Stone, Wizard Stone, Lightweight
Mug: Lightweight

I can't match any weapon remodeling to these three monsters.

By Elnoyle room I'm guessing that's when inside Ultimecia's Castle and not by the Esthar Airstation.

[Rantz]

No right answer so far, everybody's quite a bit off. The Elnoyle room is not anywhere in Ultimecia's castle or Esthar.

I'd say The Last Oath is closest so far, i.e. approaching it the right way.

[Aerith's Knight]

death in space?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[Aerith's Knight]

death in blue cheese?

I am what you get from a Vysage fight
--magic stones = blue cheese
What the Geezard does from morning to night
--eat blue cheese
me is what you'll find in an Elnoyle room
--a hunk of blue cheese
What the coward gets when facing his doom
--he has to eat it

[Rantz]

Some day I'll make a riddle about blue cheese just so you can get it right :D

[Aerith's Knight]

a dark day for the world.. i dont want to live in a world where i am right..

that scares the crap out of me

[Liberi_Fatali]

*scratches head*

[Rantz]

The Elnoyle room is not a specific room in the game.
The enemies are not definite, i.e. all of them could possibly be exchanged for others.
The answer for the riddle is the answer all the lines have in common, or rather a representation of it.

That should be enough hints for a while. ;)

[Liberi_Fatali]

Is the use of the word "doom" in the last line significant? i.e. does it refer to the spell that puts the little number thingy above your head and count down to YOUR DEATH??

[Rantz]

It doesn't refer to the spell, no. It could be translated into "scary event".

[Liberi_Fatali]

AP!!

[The Last Oath]

Has it got something to do with status effects?

hence, the vysage and elnoyle gives u siren which has something to do with status.

[Rantz]

Nothing like that.

You need to think simpler. I'd say the easiest line to start at is the second one. Find the right answer to that one, find the connection and you'll have it solved. It's not very intricate at all. :)

[thegirth]

sure, like you can make a riddle that's not very intricate.

[Rantz]

Oh hush, you :p

[Aerith's Knight]

heavy breathing? screaming? crying?

[Rantz]

No, but you're getting closer.

[demondude]

Silence? xD

[Rantz]

Definitely getting closer. :)

I am what you get from a Vysage fight

[demondude]

Sleep? stare? sigh?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[demondude]

I'm just taking shots in the dark now. xD
Laughter?

[Rantz]

No, the answer is not really abstract like that. You're still close though! ;)

[demondude]

I give up. :whimper:

[Rantz]

The second line, about the Geezard, is about what you see him do.

[Aerith's Knight]

you can keep saying that.. but i have no idea what a geezard is, does or smurf.. so that isnt really helping :)

[demondude]

Thats a Geezard.

[Takero]

Bite ? !

[Rantz]

Nope. Remember that it has to fit with all the lines, and the common answer has a representation in the game.

[Comet]

A Status? A Status Effect?

[Aerith's Knight]

i know.. crawl.. or eat dirt :p

[Rantz]

Not a status effect. But "crawl" is actually the closest guess so far... Just make it fit with the other lines as well.

[The Last Oath]

I am what you get from a Vysage fight - Fighting in the ground
What the Geezard does from morning to night - move on the ground
me is what you'll find in an Elnoyle room - staying low (close to the ground)
What the coward gets when facing his doom - slammed to the ground or buried.

[Aerith's Knight]

yeah you just steal my answer :mad2:

that doesnt really help you make friends here.

[Rantz]

Nope, that's not it. The answer to all the lines are the same, however impossible that may seem.

[Aerith's Knight]

teabagging? :D

[Rantz]

Although I'm sure Elnoyles are very fond of that sort of activity... No, that's not it.

[Comet]

Is it something to do with blind or darkness?

[Rantz]

Nothing at all to do with any magic or status effect.

[Aerith's Knight]

dirtnap

[Rantz]

Nix!

[Liberi_Fatali]

Disappear? You see the monsters disappear when they die.

[demondude]

Creep? Slide? Drag?

[Rantz]

Disappear is not right, but Demon Dude, one of your guesses is so close I'm surprised you didn't see it.

Also, remember that only one guess per post is allowed really, although I'm not so stubborn on that.

[Liberi_Fatali]

Bob up and down and shake from side to side like they do in FF games?

[Rantz]

Nope. The answer is not a verb, although the answer to the second line is.

[demondude]

Sliver? Crawl?

[Rantz]

Are you even listening to what I say? :p No double guesses and the answer is not a verb. :)

[Aerith's Knight]

id like to buy a vowel

[Rantz]

I'll give you the number 100. And yes, it does have something to do with the answer, although it's not a stat or a prize or anything like that.

[Comet]

Is it dance? Or VICTORY!

[Caveroamer]

Bad Breath related attack?

[Rantz]

Nope. All the lines translate into one word, but with three different meanings, the first and last lines having the same meaning. These meanings have little to do with the world of Final Fantasy VIII. The answer is also the same word, but refers to something that is a part of the game.

[Cledarius]

I don't think this fits with the second line but is it Death or dying?

[Rantz]

Nope, but you're thinking in the right model, only the answers to each line are exactly the same.

[Liberi_Fatali]

Experience.

[Comet]

Is it AP? Or a pee? LOL

What the coward gets when facing his doom - A pee (because hes scared)
