Final fantasy 8 riddles

[Lacarus]

I don't know if anyone has used this yet, but Mad Rush?


Mad Rush?

[DarkBahamut]

I don't know if anyone has used this yet, but Mad Rush?


Mad Rush?



lol, it was only a few comments before, I'm so stupid. :mad:

[BG-57]

Selphie's Wall?

Nope.


I don't know if anyone has used this yet, but Mad Rush?

Still no.

It's an action that you have to do, not the characters.

[Rantz]

Getting the Rosetta Stone from the Esthar Mall?

[BG-57]

Nope.

[DarkBahamut]

defeat ultimecia/sorceresses

[BG-57]

No, it specifically results in getting a Rosetta Stone.

[DarkBahamut]

Find Esthar? lol I think I'm just going to type in whatever I see when I search up the hints

[DarkBahamut]

Wait, you can get the Rosetta Stone in Esthar by repeatingly going into the shop, so thats another guess

Repeatingly going into the closed shop owned by Cheryl

Also, repost:
Cephalopod's delight
Although an All button
Would speed things up
To warm Ptomely's heart

[Rantz]

Playing the organ in Ultimecia's castle. If you press the L- and R-buttons and the shape buttons all at the same time (an All button would speed things up), you'll get access to a Rosetta Stone. (To warm Ptolemy's heart)

I don't know why I didn't think of that before.

[licence]

Playing the organ in Ultimecia's castle. If you press the L- and R-buttons and the shape buttons all at the same time (an All button would speed things up), you'll get access to a Rosetta Stone. (To warm Ptolemy's heart)

I don't know why I didn't think of that before.

If this is correct (I'm fully clueless to be honest but it sounds plausible) then what is the first line alluding to?

[BG-57]

Yes, it's the organ. All refers to Tutti, which is a button on organ consoles that allows you to play all the notes at once. The Cephalopod refers to having to push all the buttons would be easy for an octopus.

Your go, Rantzien.

[licence]

Nice one that.

[Rantz]

Twins and antipodes, solidus and its converse
Well known the bridges and fronts we traverse
Painful was our beginning, but we welcomed you
You won't see the end of us, though we each have two

[Lacarus]

Righty and Lefty?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

You made it too long, by the time I finish I forget the beginning, lol.

I'm going to guess Galbadia and Balamb gardens.

[licence]

Propagators?

I really don't think it is correct, worth a shot though.

[Rantz]

Not any Gardens or the Propagators.

[McLovin']

Shumi/Moomba?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[Lacarus]

There where a time where I could remember all the monsters names without having to look them up.

Answer: Belhelmel

[Rantz]

It's not a monster. :)

[Negative]

Is it something to do with Brothers and Tomb of the unknown king

[Rantz]

Not a thing. :)

[Negative]

OMG give us a clue...
(I bet its a place)

[Rantz]

The answer consists of two connected things, one of which should be more familiar than the other.

[DarkBahamut]

GF and magic or GF and junction

[BG-57]

Some connection between the past with Laguna and the present with Squall? Say, Lunatic Pandora?

[Rantz]

No, the things are concurrent. Lunatic Pandora is not involved. It's not GF and Magic/Junction.

[DarkBahamut]

Repost:
Twins and antipodes, solidus and its converse
Well known the bridges and fronts we traverse
Painful was our beginning, but we welcomed you
You won't see the end of us, though we each have two

Ragnorak and the Twins?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[DarkBahamut]

Does it have anything to do with Sorceresses or GFs?

[Rantz]

No, nothing.

[Negative]

Ahhm.......Is it those white doors in Ultimecia's castle.

If not is it something to do with the whole lunar cry thing.

[Jiro]

Antipodes are opposites on the planet. The only antipodes that I can see on this handy map I have are the Islands Closest to Heaven/Hell.

I don't know how it relates to the other parts, apart from you can probably see Heaven from near Deling, near Winhill and near the Desert Prison.

I dunno, someone else solve it :D

[Rantz]

Nothing is right so far. Antipodes isn't referring to opposite sides of the planet in this case, just opposites in general (as per the broader definition).

[Jiro]

Google definitions has failed me again! D:

EDIT: I feel like it has something to do with trains? I have no idea why.

[Rantz]

Nothing to do with trains. :)

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The Compressed World and the Normal World?

[Rantz]

No.

[Negative]

Is it ultima weapon and omega weapon

[Rantz]

No. Much smaller.

[Typhoon]

Well IDK... I was gonna go with the future and the past or maybe Island Cloasest to Hell/Heaven but I really don't know, Another hint?

[Rantz]

The two parts of the answer are small attributes of larger things.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

1st and 2nd floor of Balamb Garden?

[Rantz]

Nope. They are attributes of two separate things.

[Typhoon]

R=U? Both the same thing eventually just different at the different times?

[Rantz]

No. :)

[Typhoon]

Man this it tricccccccccccky :)

[Rantz]

The answer parts are of the same nature.

[Typhoon]

Is it an item of some sort???

Like potion and hi potion?

[Jiro]

Seifer and Squall's scars

Twins and antipodes, solidus and its converse - Squall and Seifer are similar, yet they are like opposites.
Well known the bridges and fronts we traverse - Not sure
Painful was our beginning, but we welcomed you - The scars were painful to receive
You won't see the end of us, though we each have two - The scars don't heal

A lame attempt, but I like to provide reasoning for my guesses where possible.

[Rantz]

Jiro is correct! :D

Twins and antipodes, solidus and its converse
Refers to the nature of the scars, they are "twins" because they're pretty much the same and were received at the same time. They are "antipodes" because, as "solidus and its converse" says, Seifer's squall is shaped like a solidus ( / ), and Squall's is mirrored ( \ ).

Well known the bridges and fronts we traverse
The scars both cross Seifer's and Squall's nosebridges and fronts. Well known because Squall and Seifer are such prominent characters.

Painful was our beginning, but we welcomed you
As Jiro says, the scars were painful to receive. "We welcomed you" refers to the fact that it's one of the first things you see happening in the game.

You won't see the end of us, though we each have two
The scars remain for the entirety of the game, but they do each have two ends (pertaining to their shape).

Jiro is up! :)

[^OmegaShot^]

i made one

I will see the daylight,
when you run into a fight.
There is no way out for the enemies,
because i am their nemesis.
But i'm not always around,
so you'll have to go all out.

what/who am I ?

I guess this is a little too easy for you :)

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Odin

[^OmegaShot^]

yep. Your turn choco

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Someone else take it, I'm not very good at the FF8 riddles.

[^OmegaShot^]

im thinking....

[^OmegaShot^]

this forum is dead :D

[BG-57]

Not a place of concrete sculpture
Not a fake drummer for a lettered band
Not an unorthodox church hymn choice
But her femininity is there to see

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Selphie?

[BG-57]

Nope.

[Shiny]

Gonna break it down even though I can't come up with an answer right now. xD

Not a place of concrete sculpture - I'm thinking this could be a reference to a location. Maybe Centra or Trabia Garden...

Not a fake drummer for a lettered band - No idea.

Not an unorthodox church hymn choice - Probably a reference to a song within this location. Can't think of one right now that might sound religious.

But her femininity is there to see - A female character.

[BG-57]

To be fair, lines 1-3 are referencing things outside the game, and line 4 references something within it.

Yes, the answer is female, but maybe not obviously so.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Adel?

[Sword]

I was going to say eyes on me, but then I read the last 2 posts...

[BG-57]

Adel?

Less obvious.


I was going to say eyes on me, but then I read the last 2 posts...

It's not a song.

[Sword]

Could it possibly be a member of the shumi tribe?

[BG-57]

No.

[Sword]

Eden!

[Rantz]

Torama?

[BG-57]

Eden!

You got it!

Not a place of concrete sculpture (The Garden of Eden, a Kansas tourist attraction)
Not a fake drummer for a lettered band (Eden was featured in some ABC videos)
Not an unorthodox church hymn choice ('In the Garden of Eden by I. Ron Butterfly', as referenced in the Simpsons)
But her femininity is there to see (She has mammaries)

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I was gonna say Eden, but I guess I was gone a little long : (

[Sword]

Eden!

You got it!

Not a place of concrete sculpture (The Garden of Eden, a Kansas tourist attraction)
Not a fake drummer for a lettered band (Eden was featured in some ABC videos)
Not an unorthodox church hymn choice ('In the Garden of Eden by I. Ron Butterfly', as referenced in the Simpsons)
But her femininity is there to see (She has mammaries)

I cried aloud with mirth and merriment I never guessed even close to the top 3 lines. The only reason I got it was because Eden isn't an ACTUAL building (line 1), and there's not many creatures in the game that have less obvious femininity than Adel :P

Alright

A front row seat,
but one is afraid to lose something precious.
Now I stand abandoned,
with nought but a queen by my side.

[BG-57]

Quistis, since she's unable to hook up with Squall and one of her whips is Save the Queen.

[DarkBahamut]

Is it when you fight Edea in the Galbadian Auditorium or the fight at the end of the first disk

A front row seat, - The front row seat in the Auditorium
but one is afraid to lose something precious. - Squall is usually brave.
Now I stand abandoned, He fights alone most of the time
with nought but a queen by my side - Edea or Rinoa

[Sword]

No and no

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The last person you verse for the CC Group Quest? (Can't recall which one it is at the moment.)

[Jiro]

I only just realised I had a correct guess ages ago. My apologies for not returning with a riddle, it was my first correct answer! :o

Seifer and the events at the TV Station in Timber

A front row seat, - Squall and Co are right there, as are Deling, Seifer and Edea
but one is afraid to lose something precious. - Edea mentions that Seifer is afraid
Now I stand abandoned, - Seifer is effectively kicked out of Garden after this
with nought but a queen by my side. - Seifer becomes a Sorcesses' Knight, similar to a Queen's Knight I imagine

[Sword]

FFIX Choco Boy - You're slightly getting there

Jiro - No :p

[Jiro]

Goddammit I thought I had it! xD

So I assume it has something to do with Triple Triad then?

[Sword]

A clue would be sort of linked to triple triad :D

[Rantz]

Is it Martine?

[Sword]

No


A front row seat,
but one is afraid to lose something precious.
Now I stand abandoned,
with nought but a queen by my side.

[Karifean]

the card queen? :eek:

[Sword]

The card queen is only part of the last line, but not the answer. Now solve the rest of it :p

[Rantz]

Nida?

[Karifean]

is it the card queen's husband - the guy in dollet which holds the siren-card?

[Sword]

No, and no.

[BG-57]

Is it sacrificing certain cards to the Queen get rare cards from others?

[Sword]

Nope

[Karifean]

Is it Piet from Lunar Gate at Disc 4 (The Card Queen is with him at Disc 4)?

[Sword]

No but very close

[BG-57]

Alexander Card?

[Sword]

No :rolleyes2

[Shiny]

CC Members?

[Sword]

Getting colder. Karifean has been the warmest so far. Practically incinerated in fact.

[Rantz]

The escape pod?

[Sword]

THE ESCAPE POD!

"A front row seat" - They were extremely close to one of the biggest spectacles in the world (the lunar cry)
"but one is afraid to lose something precious." - Squall is scared of losing Rinoa at this point.
"Now I stand abandoned" - self explanatory.
"with nought but a queen by my side." - The card queen is standing beside it when you find it on the world map.

Sorry I may have caused confusion because I actually forgot Piet was there with the card queen when you found it again. ^^'

Your turn Rantzien.

[Rantz]

Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised
The solution amassed
from one red oversized

[DarkBahamut]

Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised
The solution amassed
from one red oversized

I know it has something to do in space. Is it when Squall goes to save Rinoa or when they show their love on the Ragnorak?

Mistakes of the past - Ellone shows Squall the past of Rinoa
are qucikly neutralised - He understands his feelings.
The solution amassed - Self-explanatory, The problem in his attitude issues and feelings are solved.
from on red oversized - Ragnorak, they go into the Ragnorak.

[Rantz]

Nope! Nothing to do with space.

[BG-57]

Hot dogs? :D

[Rantz]

No, although it's a very profound guess! xD

[Sword]

Would the "red oversized" be the Galbadia Garden? I'm thinking it has something to do with when you fight Edea and Ultimecia isn't possessing her anymore. Like everyone forgives her and stuff and remember she is matron.

[Rantz]

The "red oversized" is not Galbadia Garden, and Edea and Ultimecia are not involved.

[Sword]

Red oversized must be Ragnarok then? But I can see lots of things about the past that would fit with the Ragnarok :(

[Rantz]

Not the Ragnarok. :)

[Sword]

I may be taking an unusual understanding of your use of the word "past" or even "mistakes" for that matter, but could it be when you enter the prison cell in Ultimecia's castle and you have to defeat the Red Giant to get the key in order to escape?

[Rantz]

I anticipated that guess, but sadly that is not the answer I'm looking for. The "red oversized" is not the Red Giant, despite the epithet being fitting.

[Sword]

Is it D-District Prison?

[Rantz]

Nope!

[McLovin']

The last 2 lines make it seem like its referring to an item dropped by some monster?

Or could it be Adel and the Time Compression event right after beating her?

[Rantz]

It's not an item dropped by a monster, but you're not entirely on the wrong track with that.

It's not Adel and the TC event.

[DarkBahamut]

Is the Red-oversized the Lunar Cry?

[Rantz]

No. Do you want a hint?

[DarkBahamut]

Yassir.

[Karifean]

is the red oversized Esthar, and is it the item you can use to make G.F.s forget abilities?

Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised <---- you can simply use that item to make G.F.s forget abilities.
The solution amassed <---- you can buy it infinite times...
from one red oversized <---- in esthar.

[Rantz]

The "mistakes of the past" are very much subjective if they are mistakes or not.

Edit: The "red oversized" is not Esthar, and the answer is not Amnesia Greens.

[Sword]

When you say they are subjective, does that mean they are also optional mistakes, or are they tied to the story?

[Rantz]

They are optional mistakes, i.e. they could very well be avoided to begin with.

[seiferalmasy2]

Sounds like the cards to me.... the high level ones like Squall.

The mistake can be rectified aboard ragnarok if you missed them earlier, such as Quistis holding the squall card and other people aboard holding the others.

[Rantz]

Good guess, but no. The Ragnarok isn't involved.

[Jiro]

The Garden's defence from the missile attack or something like that I dunno :p

Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised
The solution amassed
from one red oversized

Pretty much I'm going off the big red button. I originally thought about the mistakes being whatever happens in the Missile Base with Selphie, and then I thought that (iirc) the button to activate Garden's flying mechanism is big and red (one red oversized). It's all I've got!

[Rantz]

Sorry, nope. :) These mistakes aren't quite as severe!

[Medi]

All I can think of is some status-refreshing magic, like dispel or esuna, but I don't remember them being red. Isn't Carbuncle's skill ruby light? Rubies are red, and it has one on its forehead. It's not exactly "oversized" and it doesn't neutralize any mistakes, so that can't be right.

I'm just taking random stabs here, hah.

[Rantz]

Nothing right, sorry.

[BG-57]

Doomtrain? His status ailments can turn the tide in a hard battle.

[Rantz]

Not Doomtrain.

[404]

Either:
defeating ifrit thus proving you can be a seeD candidate. the optional pst mistakes i guess is cause you can choose to be a bit of a prick to everyone at the start.

or
The pheonix summon.
optional mistakes such as dying in battle.
pheonix = big & red & solves problem.


just a guess (Y)

[Rantz]

Pretty good guesses, but none right. For future reference, it's generally frowned upon to give more than one guess before the riddle maker has confirmed or denied the first one.

[seiferalmasy2]

Big red oversized has to be Galbadia Garden then?

But as to what mistakes of the past, I have no idea. Perhaps the mistake of the past was when they failed to assassinate Edea (the plan was drawn up by martine @ galbadian garden) and they then make up for this by attacking Galbadian garden head on against Seifer and Edea once more later in the game

[Rantz]

Nope, it's not Galbadia Garden being referred to. The mistakes would be more on the player's behalf.

[seiferalmasy2]

hmmmm how about getting all the GF back in 1 place at ultimecias castle, even if you missed them?

[Rantz]

Noooope, sorry.

[Sword]

Could it, by any chance, have anything to do with the cafeteria in Balamb Garden?

[Rantz]

Not a thing, I'm afraid!

[Jiro]

I've never gotten that far, but are the bosses you can draw missed GFs from red? Missing GFs isn't always a mistake, but you can fix that by drawing them later. I dunno :/

[Rantz]

Nope, that's not it. The mistakes made aren't strategical, I might add.

[BG-57]

Is it the flashback involving Laguna and the red dragon?

[Rantz]

Afraid not!

[Sword]

Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised
The solution amassed
from one red oversized

Damn I thought I got it there but then realised that it was a story based mistake :(. (I was thinking about Irvine not shooting edea then the gate team pressing the button which i think was red). Must think harder >_<

[Masamunemaster]

so Im guessing the last line refers to the red giant, so is the riddle about the prison key in ultis castle?

[Rantz]

Nope!

[Jiro]

So the mistakes are made by the player, yet are relevant to the plot?

[Rantz]

They're made by the player (I should reinforce that whether they are mistakes or not is highly subjective, although correcting them would imply that they were considered as such), but they aren't relevant to the plot at all.

[BG-57]

Is it the red face that tells you 'The Treasure is not here'?

[Rantz]

Nope!

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Hitting a bomb and making it grow?

[Rantz]

Nein.

Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised
The solution amassed
from one red oversized

[BG-57]

Ruby Dragons you have to fight if you answer Bahamut incorrectly.

[Rantz]

Not the Ruby Dragons.

[Sword]

Damn what big red thing hasn't been mentioned yet? I've been sitting here for half an hour tryin to figure this out.

[Lenna]

just because it says red oversized, doesn't mean its big :P could mean its bigger than what else its related to :P
Such as the bombs, for instance, they can grow in size, but they are still quite small! (I'm sure the bombs aren't related to the answer :P hehe

[BG-57]

I'm hitting the sidequests since they're optional. One of the GF Brothers has a red arm guard, but their overall color is purple.

[Rantz]

It's not particularly related to bombs, Brothers, or any sidequest. :)

[BG-57]

Gilgamesh?

[Rantz]

Not Gilgamesh.

[BG-57]

Fire element?

[Rantz]

Nope.

The "mistakes" can theoretically be corrected an infinite amount of times.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Using a junctioned magic, thus causing a stat to lower?

[Rantz]

Negative.

[seiferalmasy2]

anything to do with raising your seed level to A each time it falls down?

[Rantz]

Nothing like that, but...

Correcting the mistakes is done via menus.

[BG-57]

SeeD rank exams?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[Sword]

Is it the explosives that you trigger in Lunatic Pandara to move the boulders?

[Rantz]

No, nothing to do with the Lunatic Pandora.

[Shiny]

The Limit Break gauge. The bar is red and once it starts filling up or "oversizing" it allows one to neutralize the enemies. It can also be accessed via the menu in battle.

[Karifean]

The Limit Break gauge. The bar is red and once it starts filling up or "oversizing" it allows one to neutralize the enemies. It can also be accessed via the menu in battle.

There is no such thing as a limit break gauge in FF8. You may only do your limit break when your HP are 1/3 or lower than your max HP.

[Rantz]

Nothing to do with Limit Breaks. :)

[Rokk]

I believe it is the loading bar when you load a saved game?

:-)

[Rantz]

Nice thought, but that's not it.

[Zyphus]

ahh sorry, didnt read back far enough. lemme think :P

[Jiro]

It wouldn't have anything to do with healing health, would it?

[Rantz]

Afraid not. :)

[Zyphus]

the only thing i can think of correcting mistakes with menus is when you choose the instruments when you get the other half of your party from the missile base back >_> correctly choosing the instruments by reloading if you get it wrong... man this is a real stab in the dark XD

[Rantz]

Nope, nothing to do with loading or progress bars. I'll give you another hint soon. :]

[Zyphus]

when you help the timber owls take president deling hostage. you could re-enter all the codes to do all that funky stuff with the carts and president deling's cart was red?

[Cleric]

curing status effects?

[Rantz]

Not curing status effects or anything to do with the train mission.

Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised
The solution amassed
from one red oversized

[Karifean]

Hmm, could it be a red Guardian Force, which lets you do things, of which it'd have been a mistake not to do it earlier?

All I can think of here is Phoenix and Ifrit.

My guess is the following:

Mistakes of the past are letting party members die.
They are quickly neutralized by a Phoenix Down/Pinion.
The solution is amassed,
from one red oversized, yeah, Phoenix has a lot of'em.

[Rantz]

It's not a GF, but the red oversized is something living.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Living organically or mechanically?

[Rantz]

Organically.

[Rokk]

It wouldn't be the Moomba would it, when you use the Friendship Item from Chocobo World, which lets you summon it in battle?

[Rantz]

Nope! I might also say that the red oversized isn't the answer you're looking for, but rather the "solution".

[BG-57]

Hmm, is the auditions for the musical sequence, where you can try out different instruments on the characters but only two combinations sound good.

[Rokk]

Hmmm, is it Norg?

In the battle you have to keep hitting the pods to keep them blue-

Mistakes of the past - not hitting the pods to keep them blue
are quickly neutralised - by attacking them
The solution amassed
from one red oversized -the big red pod

he is organic (inside) and it is done via menus (battle system)

[Gennosuke]

is it the GF, Carbuncle?

[Rantz]

None right so far, but nice thinking with NORG. The menus I referred to in my earlier hint aren't battle menus though, but rather one of the menus you can access via the triangle button outside battles.

[Rokk]

Uhm,

Using a Phoenix Down to revive a dead player.

Mistakes of the past - letting them die
Are quickly neutralised - quick to do
The solution amassed
from one red oversized - Phoenix Downs are in fact large down feathers from a Phoenix

[Gennosuke]

Is it the seeD exams that you can take from the menu, as with missions you can decrease your rank if you perform badly?

[Rantz]

Neither. Remember that the "mistakes" are only mistakes if you consider them as such! Letting a party member die is definitely a mistake except in very specific circumstances, and I don't think your SeeD rank dropping is ever anything else than a mistake.

[Rokk]

Right another guess on this toughie riddle.

Mistakes of the past - Incorrectly naming a GF
are quickly neutralised - By using a rename card
The solution amassed - by refining the Catoblebas card into one Rename card
from one red oversized - Catoblepas card

[Rantz]

Correct! ;] Your go.

[Rokk]

Excellent riddle man, that was a tough one ;)

Ok, mine's probably much easier, here goes:

Not everyone wishes to see me,
I tend to move around,
My name is only cosmetic,
But I can quite easily be found.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Creep?

[Rokk]

Creep?

Nope.

[Medi]

I'm guessing the Card Queen.

1. Some people don't care about that side-quest.
2. She goes all over the place
3. Didn't her dad give her that name? Though my memory may just be playing tricks.
4. Self-explanatory.

[Rantz]

The Card Queen's name would be purely cosmetic based on how she is not a very good player at all. :) I think you've got it.

[Medi]

The Card Queen's name would be purely cosmetic based on how she is not a very good player at all. :) I think you've got it.

For real? I always thought she was hard; of course, I'm an awful card-player. ;)

If I'm right, anyone can take my place and make a riddle. I enjoy solving them much more than writing 'em. I had thought about the Catoblepas Card/Rename Card solution for that other riddle, but I discarded it when I thought that "over-sized" would refer to the card itself and not Catoblepas. Silly me.

[Rokk]

I'm guessing the Card Queen.

1. Some people don't care about that side-quest.
2. She goes all over the place
3. Didn't her dad give her that name? Though my memory may just be playing tricks.
4. Self-explanatory.

Yup! You got it.

[Karifean]

Your rival became your nemesis,
he killed your helper during the fight,
but due to that I could complete
my four-collection and ease your plight.

[Zyphus]

gilgamesh

When your fighting Seifer in the lunatic pandora, if you have unlocked Odin... odin will come and try slash Seifer but Seifer will own Odin and Gilgamesh will get Odin's sword which becomes his 4th. If you then dont defeat Seifer after a certain amount of time, Gilgamesh will come and defeat him for you.

Is it even your turn to post one? >_>

[Karifean]

bingo

and yes it was, just read back a little.

[Zyphus]

aha fair enough. im no good at thinking up riddles. someone go ahead.

[Rokk]

Found around a center of information,
A red herring amongst the rest,
Favoured by those with primal imagination,
Satisfy a desire, in exchange, one of the best.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The Anacondour that you fight on the way up to Dollet Tower?

[Rokk]

The Anacondour that you fight on the way up to Dollet Tower?

Nope

[Karifean]

the pub in timber?

it's aside the timber maniacs building... (or maybe a person? well, i stand by my guess for now.)

[Rokk]

the pub in timber?

it's aside the timber maniacs building... (or maybe a person? well, i stand by my guess for now.)

Nope.

[Karifean]

The tipster in Balamb when Galbadia Soldiers and Fujin & Raijin among them are there?

[Rokk]

The tipster in Balamb when Galbadia Soldiers and Fujin & Raijin among them are there?

Incorrect.

[Karifean]

Edea's Orphanage? Edea tells you a lot when starting CD3...

[Rokk]

Nope,


Found around a center of information,

I've amended it slightly, the inflation part confuses the riddle IMO.

[Karifean]

the card queen's husband? (guy in dollet holding siren-card)

[Kyros]

[Rokk]

Found around a center of information,
A red herring amongst the rest,
Favoured by those with primal imagination,
Satisfy a desire, in exchange, one of the best.

[Karifean]

the stores in esthar?

[Rokk]

the stores in esthar?

Nope...

the exchange part of the riddle, 'satisfy a desire, in exchange one of the best' is literal.

[^OmegaShot^]

[Rokk]

card queen? someone else take it if im right

Nope. You're on the right track there with the exchange part of the riddle though.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The 1st edition of Weapons Monthly? (The one that gets the ultimate weapons, not the lvl 2 ones.)

[Rokk]

Oh I forgot about this :P

Nope and no.

Though Choco Boy is getting warm.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Not sure if it's been guessed yet, Timber Maniacs?

[Rantz]

Found around a center of information, - Timber Maniacs
A red herring amongst the rest, - Found in one of the Timber Maniacs piles
Favoured by those with primal imagination, - Zone ;}
Satisfy a desire, in exchange, one of the best - You get the Shiva card in exchange

Correct! Nice on Rantzien!

Your go :)

[Rantz]

I'll leave it open for grabs for now, and anyone who wants to can have a go at making a riddle. If nobody takes it I'll try and think something up.

[Karifean]

I will serve you only if you aren't
taking down the green instead.
In the giant pillar, your enemy
will 'reverse' me, but don't be afraid.
For another will serve you now,
even though he's maybe bad.

[Rantz]

Odin! When you're in Centra Ruins, you have to choose between getting him or "the green", i.e. Tonberry King (lines 1 and 2). Seifer "reverses" Odin's attack which defeats him (line 3 and 4). He's replaced by Gilgamesh (line 5 and 6).

[Karifean]

Thought it was too easy^^
Well, now it's your turn once again.

[Rantz]

I'll just quote myself then. xD

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I was gonna guess Girl Next Door after Timber Maniacs. I'll start one up.

Just try to catch me, I bet you can't.
Even if you do, you will not beat me.
Too many pricks, too many cuts,
though each one doesn't do much.

Who am I?

[Rantz]

Cactuars? Referring to their high evasion and escape rate, and line three and four being about 1000 Needles.

[BG-57]

Along those lines, Jumbo Cactaur?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

BG got it, Jumbo fits better cause you have to catch him on world map to verse him. Too easy.

[BG-57]

Thanks. :)

Not once but twice
Way to psyche us out!
A performance worthy
Of jaundiced craft

[Rantz]

"Jaundiced craft" makes me think of Selphie and her work with the Garden Festival. Is it the concert for Squall?

[Karifean]

Ultima and Omega Weapon?

Nope.


Ultima and Omega Weapon?

Not Ultima or Omega.
