shuyin

[Queen Anthai]

Hmmm...is it the Farplane's mist/power/stuff? It's rumored to be related to the Mako energy from FFVII.

[Ace14]

No to both, woo maybe I made a good riddle for once :D but then again only three people have guessed so far

[ff is da best]

hmmm sin or vegnagun

[rikkugurl13]

No to both, woo maybe I made a good riddle for once :D but then again only three people have guessed so far

anima ....
if not can you give a hint

[Ace14]

Repost:

I am the destruction of the past,
I am the spirit of the dead

No to Anima

Hint: The answer is indirectly related to another fiend (last line of the first part)
This may be a bad hint unless you really study your enemies, but the longer this takes the better the hints. Also try giving some reason to your answers, it's better than just guessing because you'll get closer to the answer. :)

[ff is da best]

omega weapon perhaps

[Ace14]

Nope shorry, Woo! Thish ish my besht riddle sho far. Heh hypello :D

[Ace14]

Anymore guesses? Come on people don't die on me. :(

[demondude]

Shuyin? xD

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Is it Sin? It's talking about spirit of death, and in X, Auron kept saying Spira was a death spiral, all going towards Sin or something like that. It was talking about forgetting to, and since it's the Eternal Calm, they probably tried to forget about Sin.

[Ace14]

No to both, the last two lines contain two words that help describe the thing or in other words is another meaning for it.

[qwertysaur]

Omega Weapon?

[Ace14]

No but your thinking on the right track I guess you could say :)

[demondude]

Is it that guy trauma or something?

[Ace14]

No it's not Trema

[qwertysaur]

Ultima Weapon?

[Ace14]

Nope, keep guessing and try to give some reasoning and maybe do some reasearch on your answers? ;)

No but yes? I guess that can be your other clue, what happens to someone when they die but aren't unsent?

[CelestialStarDust]

[Ace14]

Yeah a fiend is made, so the answer to the riddle is a fiend? ...who knows you'll just have to keep guessing to find out :D

[qwertysaur]

Random Encounters?

[CelestialStarDust]

[BG-57]

Trema.

[Ace14]

No to both, try giving reasons it makes it funner for me. :) Plus I can help a little more if you give reason...I think.

[CelestialStarDust]

ive really got no more to go off of.im randomly guessing.kinda.

aeons??they're not fiends but..uh....yeah

[Ace14]

still no, this fiend can be found after chapter 1 I believe. I'm not too sure but I think it's true. bad hint again sorry but im just really sucky at hints. its not your everyday friendly neighborhood fiend ya know?

[BG-57]

Great Haunt? A large spirt of death found in Bikanel and Bevelle.

[Ace14]

No but you're on the right track :)

[BG-57]

Mega Tonberry?

They're supersized versions of the Tonberries that haunt many an FF game.

[Ace14]

No, the fiend is more...complex? I guess you could say complex

[BG-57]

Angra Mainyu?

[CelestialStarDust]

is it a boss??or maybe those zoran thingies..

[Ace14]

Angra Mainyu?

Correct! Do you want to give your reasoning before I give it or you just want me to explain the real reasoning?

[BG-57]

Let's hear your reasoning.

[CelestialStarDust]

i get it.....i probably would still have guessed it last,though.

[Ace14]

Seen in different worlds
but never quite like this- Angra Mainyu is in Final Fantasy XI as the chief of the area Dynamis - Beaucedine, also the Ahriman is seen in other Final Fantasys as a winged demon with one eye.

Hidden by the forgotten remains of the past,- You find the fiend in the...damn I forgot the name of the desert but I'm sure you know the desert I'm talking about. The "forgotten remains of the past" refers to all the junk machina you find in the desert and probably under the desert as well.

you may find me within evil sight- This refers to the relationship between Ahriman and Angra Mainyu; in Zurvanite Zoroastrianism Angra Mainyu is some type of destruction spirit god type thing. I didn't read all of the wiki page on the religious beliefs and the history of angra mainyu but I discovered that it was also known as "Ahriman" Zoroastrianism and it is also the middle persian equivalent of Ahriman.

I am the destruction of the past,
I am the spirit of the dead- These two lines were to show that it was a fiend; the destruction of the past meaning someone dies and after a while the spirit of the dead or the pyreflies combine to make the fiend. Also Angra Mainyu was refered to as a destructive spirit in the Avestan-language.

If you want to take a look for yourself
Angra Mainyu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahriman) heres the link

Not to shabby eh? My best riddle yet :) So it's your go BG

[BG-57]

Bikanel Desert.

I didn't know half those references, I just followed the hints. :p

I'll post a riddle later tonight.

EDIT: Here we go.

In a floor pattern
Not a sacred symbol
Merely ordinary
Above the three

[CelestialStarDust]

did you mean 'sacred' symbol??

is it the third floor in djose temple???

[BG-57]

Not in Djose, and yes I meant sacred.

[sleepy_shadow]

The teleportation symbols in Via Infinito.

[BG-57]

Not in Via Infinito.

[Ace14]

The platform in the Bevell Underground that controls the machine thing?

[BG-57]

Not in Bevelle.

[sleepy_shadow]

The symbol/platforms on Mushroom Rock Road.

[BG-57]

It's not in Mushroom Rock Road.

[Queen Anthai]

The symbol on the deck of the Celsius?

[BG-57]

Not in the Celcius.

[Anno Domini]

damn it bg! must you take over all riddle threads!?!

[BG-57]

Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm sitting out the FFXII riddle thread.

Repost:

[Anno Domini]

the glyph in the cloister of trials





and temptation will give in soon enough. it is only a matter of time now ;-)

[CelestialStarDust]

the floor in luca?

[BG-57]

the glyph in the cloister of trials





and temptation will give in soon enough. it is only a matter of time now ;-)

In Besaid? Nope.


the floor in luca?

Not in Luca.

[sleepy_shadow]

The Piano Keybads in the Farplane that you have to use to play Shuyin's Song.

[BG-57]

It's not in the Farplane.

[Cloud88]

That 'Above the three' line, possibly about the Magus Sisters which you have to fight on the way down to the Farplane? And their symbols aren't religious, just symbols, and presumably, you fight them under where their Fayth Statues used to be, like all of the other Aeons.

But I'm confused. Is the answer a place or the symbol itself? Or are you allowed tell?

So I'm gonna take 3 guesses if thats alright.

1: If its a place, that long twisting road down to the Farplane in Chapter 5.
2. If its a symbol, the Magus' Sisters symbols.
3. If its anything else, the Magus Sisters.

Hope thats alright.:D
[!] google_ad_section_end [/!]

[!] google_ad_section_end [/!][!] google_ad_section_end [/!]

[BG-57]

It's not in the Farplane Abyss.

If you read my replies carefully, that will narrow things down a lot.

[rikkugurl13]

you are WAY to good at making riddles. Usually I would guess but this time I cant come up with an answer.

[BG-57]

Start with a place. Then you can narrow down from there.

[sleepy_shadow]

So it's not in the farplane, not in bevelle, and not in mushroom rock, perhaps it's on a person rather than in a place.
My guess is the black symbol on Yuna's shirt. Here's why:
1: In a floorpattern. The symbol on her shirt is from Zanarkand, so maybe she saw it there on the floor.
2: Not a sacred symbol. The symbol on her shirt probably isn't sacred.
3: Merely ordinary. The symbol does not give any magic powers or anything like that.
4: Above the three. Yuna is above Rikku and Paine in importance in the Gullwings.
That's my reasoning, though I'm probably wrong.

[BG-57]

You're right about the place. It's in Zanarkand Ruins.

[Cloud88]

Zanarkand Ruins......
Is it Lord Zaon's fayth statue?

In a floor pattern - the statue's in the floor
Not a sacred symbol - nobody knew that Lord Zaon was the fayth, therefore, its not sacred. Or its broken, so its not sacred anymore? I'm not sure
Merely ordinary - No power anymore, just a regular statue
Above the three - Not physically above but above as in importance. As in above/more important than the other three summoners/guardians who went on the pilgrimage to Zanarkand.

So, Lord Zaon's statue?[!] google_ad_section_end [/!]

[BG-57]

It's not Zaon's statue.

[Ace14]

Is it the platform you take to go down to Zaon's statue?? The one you fought that one boss on in Final Fantasy X.

[Queen Anthai]

Is it a chapter-specific answer, or something that is consistent throughout the game?

[CelestialStarDust]

is it the elevator mabobber??

[BG-57]

Is it the platform you take to go down to Zaon's statue?? The one you fought that one boss on in Final Fantasy X.

It's not the platform.


Is it a chapter-specific answer, or something that is consistent throughout the game?

You can visit the place more than once in the game.


is it the elevator mabobber??

Nope.

I'm looking for the symbol this location resembles, not the location itself.

[sleepy_shadow]

I think that hint makes it harder . . . T_T

[BG-57]

Look at a map of Zanarkand Ruins.

[Queen Anthai]

Is it that little offshoot of the temple approach that's above the three "fingers" where you find the Mega Phoenix in Chapter 1?

[BG-57]

No. I'll post a map to help things.

[rikkugurl13]

is it the area that looks like a question mark?
Just a random guess.....

[BG-57]

No, but you've got the right idea.

[Queen Anthai]

All right, is it the checkerboard pattern that's underneath where you fought Yunalesca?

[BG-57]

That's the correct location. What symbol does that resemble?

[Queen Anthai]

#

[BG-57]

You are correct! the answer is #.

Your go, Queen Anthai. :)

[Queen Anthai]

On and on and on and on,
But necessary to finish correctly
With a kind gesture.

[BG-57]

Finale?

[Queen Anthai]

No.

[Ace14]

Whistling in the farplane abyss place when Yuna falls in Djose?

[Queen Anthai]

No.

[Anno Domini]

On and on and on and on,
But necessary to finish correctly
With a kind gesture.
obviously repetitve tasks:mad: necessary for the perfect ending:mad: so everyone can be happy:mad:

Digging n Bikanel?

[Queen Anthai]

No.

[Tabris]

The fights with the New Yevon members at Mushroom Rock Road?

[Jaffer]

More likely thee fights with the Youth League members on Mushroom Rock Road.

[Tabris]

Gah, of course! *smacks head*

[Queen Anthai]

Nope, sorry.

[Firenjar]

The cactars in Bikanel?The cactars in Bikanel?

[Queen Anthai]

No.

[Ace14]

The dungeon in the thunder plains?

[BG-57]

Via Infinito?

[sleepy_shadow]

Sleeping in the Celcius each chapter.

[Queen Anthai]

No, no, and no, respectively. Dang, I thought it'd be easier than this. Go me!

[Ace14]

Fighting the experiment in Djose?

[Tabris]

Random battles?

[Queen Anthai]

No and no...I'm gonna have to think of a hint that doesn't totally give it away in a minute here.

[BG-57]

Repost:

Is it Machaen's endless story that you have to sit through politely to get completion % ?

And the "kind gesture" is the handshake at the end, so it must be the Youth League HQ conversation in Chapter 1.

Why am I not surprised that you're the one to get it? :)

All yours!

[BG-57]

Heh. :D

A single word
In two dialects
Look different
But sound alike

[Firenjar]

Al Bhed?

[Queen Anthai]

Oui and we?

[BG-57]

Al Bhed?

Hu, cunno.


Oui and we?

No, but you have the right idea.

[Ace14]

Fiend and...al-bhed fiend? XD

[BG-57]

It's nothing to do with Al Bhed.

[Anno Domini]

there are only two languages in spira. how could it not be in al bhed?

[BG-57]

The riddle involves two dialects of the same language.

Repost:

A single word

[Kasou]

Err... *brainfart*
Common dialect and... Besaid "slang"?
Wakka along with some random Besaid villagers certainly have an accent.
Dunno about a specific word though. Kasou: FAIL. Next guesser place :bigsmile:

[Anno Domini]

Maybe Machina meaning machine?

[BG-57]

Think more like the difference between Tidus' accent and Oaka's.

[Kasou]

I can't even remember how O'aka spoke.

"Ya" and "Yeah"?

[BG-57]

Nope. Oaka has a British accent.

[Queen Anthai]

I think we've officially given up on this one. :(

[BG-57]

I'll give one more hint and if nobody takes it I'll give the answer.

The dialects involved are British and American English. Look for the British spelling.

[Shiny]

Paine/Pain?

[BG-57]

No, it's not a person.

[Tabris]

Heh. That could be quite a lot of words.

[BG-57]

The British spelling is present even in the North American version of the game. And it's a place.

[Queen Anthai]

Well, I think you finally got us, Beeg.

[BG-57]

Alright then, the answer is Gaol. It's a sublevel of Bevelle and pronounced 'jail'.

The next one is up for grabs.

[rikkugurl13]

I think I'll have a go =) Even though this thread may be Dead....wow that was lame and I'm ashamed...*shakes Head*anyways....

I'm Weird And I'm Crazy
I'm Fuzzy And Not Lazy
A Little Bit Of Red Wouldn't Hurt Anybody.
You Call Me An Animal But Inside I'm Still Human,
Well, At Least A Little.....

Can You Guess What It Is? lol:D

[Ace14]

Yuna's doggy? Kogoro or something like that?

[BG-57]

Beserker DS?

[rikkugurl13]

wow....Nice BG :D Your up

Srry Ace :(

[BG-57]

We are twins
Identical
Inseparable
Well studied

[Ace14]

Black and white magic?

[BG-57]

Nope.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Yunie's guns?

[BG-57]

No, but you're close.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Yunie's Pistols in her Floral Fallal SDS?

[BG-57]

Yuna is not involved.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Just a gunner's guns in general?

[BG-57]

No, it's a specific person.

The last line alludes to the person.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

It says twins, so shouldn't it be 2 specific people not a specific person?

[BG-57]

In this case 'twins' applies to the guns, not the owner.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The person who recorded the Gunner DS?

[BG-57]

Nope.
