The old riddle thread has gotten so large and unweildy that I can't load it anymore. It has been suggested that we start a new riddle thread.

The rules are the same:

1) Only one riddle can be solved at a time.

2) One guess per post.

3) Giving hints is optional.

4) Whoever solves the riddle gets to post their own.

5) If the solver refuses to post a new riddle, the riddler can select another person to go, or leave it up to the next person who posts.

My riddle was last, but I can't access it and I don't quite remember how it goes. Should I just post a new one? :greenie:

BG-57's riddle reads:

Only for demonstration purposes
No special forte required
Will some monster taste these
In the far flung future?

FFIX Choco Boy guessed "the weapons on display in the Wutai weapon shop". :) I don't have a better guess so far.

BG-57
06-29-2009, 06:49 PM
Thanks.

It's not the display window.

Is it the model Masamune sword from Gold Saucer?

FFIX Choco Boy

Finally, that old riddle thread was so large...

Nope.

Well, is someone going to start a riddle? Or are we going to dicuss how big the other one is?

We did, about five posts ago:

Jeez this is tough. I get the feeling you're trying to give us hints inside of the riddle.

Is it the various grenades you use throughout the game?

BG-57
06-29-2009, 11:57 PM
It's not grenades, but your supposition is correct.

G13
06-30-2009, 12:40 AM
Nice! But I'm lost on the "forte" and "far-flung future" parts. I got that it (or they) is/are an un-equipable weapon. Is it the tank?

BG-57
06-30-2009, 01:12 AM
It's not the tank, but keep going.

Saber
06-30-2009, 01:17 AM
Is it the 1/35 Soulder items

G13
06-30-2009, 01:17 AM
Alright, this is the only other one I can think of w/out thinking too hard.

Is it the weapons on display in Sector 7?

BG-57
06-30-2009, 01:18 AM

No.

Ooooo is it the Junon Cannon?

BG-57
06-30-2009, 01:24 AM
Not the Sister Ray.

G13
06-30-2009, 01:30 AM
Wait what? Midgar Cannon?

BG-57
06-30-2009, 01:43 AM
It's the same cannon. It just gets moved from Junon to Midgar. But either way, it's not the answer.

G13
06-30-2009, 01:55 AM
I know that, I was just confused by what you meant.

I got nothing. I'll try later.

Edit: I just thought of this in the shower. Probably not it but I got nothin' else. Is it a drink, like the one Tifa gave Cloud in the beginning?

BG-57
06-30-2009, 11:32 AM
It's not a drink.

Melissaur
06-30-2009, 12:55 PM
is it a tissue?

Kanshisha
06-30-2009, 03:26 PM
Only for demonstration purposes
No special forte required
Will some monster taste these
In the far flung future?

Hmmm... this is a tough one :/

well the riddle gives us a hint that its more than one time. hencing 'these'
withe the word forte taken as a specialty of some sort.

LOL thats all i got from it... im sure having the 3rd sentence.. it obviously damages...things? x3

Rantz
06-30-2009, 03:56 PM
I've been thinking about the catapults from the Fort Condor battles. "Forte" being italicised could hint towards Fort Condor, and "in the far flung future" almost seems like it's supposed to be read literally. "Only for demonstration" seems to disprove the catapult idea, though. Of course, it could also be sword related, considering an alternate definition of "forte".

I doubt it's right, but to keep things moving: the catapults in the Fort Condor battles?

leader of mortals
06-30-2009, 03:57 PM
The 8-inch cannon, or whatever its called?

Only for demonstration purposes
No special forte required
Will some monster taste these
In the far flung future?

I don't know, maybe because its not really useful in a real game and only a low level game
Anyone can use it
You use them against monsters
You fling it?

The Masamune Blade?

BG-57

No.

Yes, there is more than one.

It's not the catapults. It's not forte in the usual meaning of 'strength or talent'.

The Masamune Blade?

Still no.

final heaven. tifas final limit break

G13
06-30-2009, 10:24 PM
Forte- the stronger part of a sword blade between the hilt and the foible.

The only thing I got for this is the Masamune Blade replicas, but you've already said that's not it.

Forte- used chiefly as a direction or description in music; "the forte passages in the composition".

Is it the music notes for Tifa's theme?

BG-57
06-30-2009, 10:34 PM
final heaven. tifas final limit break

No, but close.

Again, no but close.

Line 2 is solved, it refers to the piano forte and Tifa's final limit break.

Alright, so far we've got a weapon that is not equip-able, we don't have to go through a rigmarole to get it, and it's throw-able. Is that right Beeg?

Rantz
06-30-2009, 11:22 PM
Orthopedic Underwear? :D

06-30-2009, 11:29 PM
A monster will taste them? Yikes!

Melissaur
07-01-2009, 12:06 AM
well if you play the tune wrong dont you get a hero drink? is that it?

Kanshisha
07-01-2009, 12:43 AM
grr, my head hurts lols.

Well.. Tifa's final Limit break is "Final Heaven". This is gained by playing her piano.

Oh! Oh! Meteors from heaven raining down on all the random monsters x3

FFIX Choco Boy
07-01-2009, 12:54 AM
The actual process of playing the piano? After, bad music can be an unequippable weapon, and so can a piano.

Skyblade
07-01-2009, 12:57 AM

If I'm remembering right, everything that can be thrown can be equipped, so there is nothing in the game that would fit those parameters.

Melissaur
07-01-2009, 01:05 AM
If the answer is "nothing" I'm going to be mad...

Kanshisha
07-01-2009, 01:08 AM
i dunno how to word it but.. still on my answer with the meteors..

maybe cus it mentions more than one item. im guessing a materia! so umm, maybe a materia for meteor.. for me it fits quite well :)

It's not a weapon, nor is it throw-able.


Orthopedic Underwear? :D

Nope.


A monster will taste them? Yikes!

Metaphorically speaking.

No.

No, it's not meteors.

It's not piano playing.

See above.

Is it an item?

So it has to do with Final Heaven... hmm...

Kanshisha
07-01-2009, 03:43 AM
Just to remind us what the riddle is :

Only for demonstration purposes
No special forte required
Will some monster taste these
In the far flung future?

(sorry this isnt a guess... but this will just remind people of what the riddle is and NOT get side tracked with random guessing)

G13
07-01-2009, 06:23 AM
Okay, so, it's not a weapon and it's not throw-able but it's for demonstration, you don't need to play a song to get it, and a monster may or may not "taste" it some time soon.

But... but... Far-flung man! I figured you could at least throw it! You're lovin' every minute of this, aren't you?

Can you give us any better hints than you have already?

Kanshisha
07-01-2009, 06:39 AM
oh em gee

Is it a chocobo??

Its not a wep
Its not throwable
Its for demonstratons
There's more than one
Some chocobos CAN fly
Some monsters may feel hungry and have a taste for chocobo!

I'm sure thats right i mean thats just too good to put down x3

qwertysaur
07-01-2009, 06:52 AM
something to do with Zangans letter perhaps?

Yeah, usually I report riddles on a new page.

Far-flung in this case means 'distant'. Well, I worry that my riddles are too easy, but I guess I shouldn't. I'll post a hint below.

Laddy
07-01-2009, 12:27 PM
Cait Sith's dice Limit Break.

Skyblade
07-01-2009, 06:09 PM
The initial Chocobo race.

Basically a demo. No skill needed, you're guaranteed to win (eventually).

And Chocobos make good eats for monsters (especially the Chocobo Eater in FFX, which could be the far flung future?).

Kanshisha
07-02-2009, 12:23 AM
Im pretty sure Skyblade got this one ==''

Hehe, well, it's all in the hands of BG-57 now..

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 12:28 AM
*sigh* it does make so much since

G13
07-02-2009, 12:33 AM
I dunno. He would have said "close" when Kanshisha said Chocobo.

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 12:38 AM
But he said close when I said Tifa's Final Heaven limit break... But then again that has nothing to do with the rest of it... ughh I bet it's so obvious!

G13
07-02-2009, 12:42 AM
He also said close when I said the tank from Sector 7. This is the most confusing riddle I've ever read.

BG-57
07-02-2009, 12:45 AM

No.


Cait Sith's dice Limit Break.

Close.

Not the races.

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 12:48 AM
So apparently it has to do with limit breaks because Final Heaven was close and Dice is close.... Umm is it Chaos (lolz)

G13
07-02-2009, 12:50 AM
Final Limits seems to be a pattern...

Is it:
Vincent's
Cloud's
Cid's
Barret's
Yuffie's
Red XIII's
Aeris's Final Limit?

BG-57
07-02-2009, 12:54 AM

Yes, it refers to limit breaks, but not Vincent's.

Red XIII's
Aeris's Final Limit?

One guess at a time please.

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 12:56 AM
Let me guess..... "Close"

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 12:57 AM
Cait Sith's Slots Limit Break.

Or, perhaps, one of the results of Slots.

BG-57
07-02-2009, 01:03 AM

As close as Final Heaven was. :greenie:


Cait Sith's Slots Limit Break.

Nope.

G13
07-02-2009, 01:04 AM
Alrighty then, is it Aeris's Breath of Life?

BG-57
07-02-2009, 01:07 AM
No.

To aid the process, it's none of the limit breaks of any of the characters already mentioned.

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 01:08 AM
Yuffie's All Creation

BG-57
07-02-2009, 01:10 AM
It's not any of Yuffie's limit breaks.

Kanshisha
07-02-2009, 01:11 AM
OMNISLASHHH rawr`

BG-57
07-02-2009, 01:12 AM
None of Cloud's limit breaks.

G13
07-02-2009, 01:12 AM
Is it the limit break Cloud witnesses in Sector 7? The little girl beating up her brother.

Kanshisha
07-02-2009, 01:14 AM
Tifa's level 5 move! Meteor Strike :)

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 01:14 AM

I'm going to need a moment to calm down before I post a riddle of my own.

BG-57
07-02-2009, 01:23 AM
Basically, there's a battle hall in Sector 7, with a talking save point and several people who give your tutorials on different aspects of gameplay. A pair of squabbling siblings demonstrate how limit breaks work.

G13
07-02-2009, 01:27 AM
There are so many of us it's hard to keep track,
Ranging from regular to extra strength,
We've been found, stolen, retrieved, and stolen again,
Where we go destruction follows

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 01:28 AM

heh heh heh I love getting to be the one to say that.

Not a chocobo.

Knights of the round...

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 01:34 AM
I can't think of anything else that would fit that. Not with the "so many it's hard to keep track".

Tifa, there's an "edit" button at the bottom of your posts. It's better to use that than to double post.

G13
07-02-2009, 01:35 AM
Getting warmer.

It's not actually hard to keep track. Just put that in the... "things" point of view.

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 01:37 AM
Yeah I forgot... heh. Um.... I'm lost. I was sure i had it!

G13
07-02-2009, 01:39 AM
That's too bad. Just to keep it going, it is a materia. You guys are on the right track.

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 01:40 AM
Enemy Skill materia.

Kanshisha
07-02-2009, 01:40 AM

Oh wow not at all what i was thinking

G13
07-02-2009, 01:42 AM
No. You were on the right track. I'm probably giving it away but... other kind of materia.

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 01:43 AM
Ifrit? Hes in all the games...

G13
07-02-2009, 01:43 AM

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 01:58 AM
Eh, nevermind, I got one.

You find me, use me
Break me, lose me
On a futile little chore.
Though given a prize
You can't help but think
Whatever was I for?

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 02:09 AM
Final limit breaks?

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 02:11 AM
Not a Limit Break, but try not to catagorize things.

G13
07-02-2009, 02:12 AM
Hmm, you can find, use and lose just about anything. What can you break?

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 02:12 AM
Hero drink?

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 02:15 AM
No.

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 02:17 AM
Pheonix down?

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 02:18 AM
Nope, and you are on entirely the wrong track.

Unfortunately, I can't say a lot more about it without giving it away.

Melissaur
07-02-2009, 02:20 AM
Well I'm thinking items... *mumbles* is it Yuffie? I wish I could break her

G13

It's an item. Is it one of the grenades?

Ahahahaha nice Tifa!

I hope it's longer. This is the first riddle I've made that I'm actually happy with (not perfectly happy, since I think the last line throws the meter of the poetry off a little, but still happy). I intended it to be hard. :)

Hmm, but it is an item right? Just not useable?

Edit: Is it a vending machine or a game at Gold Saucer?

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 02:33 AM
Nope, neither of those, but they are better guesses.

I could be more specific... But I won't. :plotting: That's all you get!

*Tries to high-five but misses and falls*

Yes the break is pretty confusing.

07-02-2009, 02:52 AM
If you say so.

Still no correct guesses.

Probably going to log now, but keep guessing. You guys will get it eventually.

Yep. Snowboard is also wrong.

Okay I really need a hint. What kind of item can you break?

blackmage_nuke
07-02-2009, 01:58 PM
The motorcycle?

Contain Materia? (It's got the spell break)

The rocket in Rocket town?

You find it then use it to destroy meteor, then you break it and lose it, and it doesnt work, and you get huge materia

Skyblade
07-02-2009, 03:13 PM
All incorrect so far. And I can't tell you what sort of item it is, or how you break it, without giving it away. Just trust me that when you get the item right, it will make sense.

G13
07-02-2009, 07:29 PM

The machine gun shop was an excellent choice, and probably the closest so far, but still no correct answers.

Melissaur
07-03-2009, 12:59 AM
is it the batteries you get at the machine gun shop

Is it my ability to decipher this riddle?

Edit: Is it really an item, or more of an object?

Kind of both.

Melissaur
07-04-2009, 01:05 AM

It's not just you. I've noticed black orb is now 'pink orb'. Sometimes the CKs will change avatars and usernames for fun. They'll change it back. One time everybody had TMNT avatars.

Melissaur
07-04-2009, 02:55 AM
Well that's not that fair to us...

Skyblade
07-04-2009, 04:03 AM
I really don't think I can explain a lot more without giving the riddle away, but I'll do so anyway.

The answer has some properties of an item (picked up and carried with you), and some of an object (used on a map, not a menu), so I said it's both. There aren't many items like that.

Melissaur
07-04-2009, 04:46 AM

It still boggles me. In item that you can use only on the map... hmmm

Skyblade
07-04-2009, 05:06 AM
On a map. Not necessarily on the world map. Could be on a dungeon map or a city map instead. Could be.

Melissaur
07-04-2009, 05:13 AM
The square button..... The only other map i remember is the Great Glacier map at Icicle Inn and it's the only time you use the square button. And it has nothing to do with the machine gun shop...

Skyblade
07-04-2009, 05:21 AM
:kaolaugh:

No, but thanks for that answer.

Melissaur

:kaodrop: No porblem. I'm just so stumped, ughh. I WILL NOT GIVE UP!!

Skyblade
07-04-2009, 06:19 AM
Aww... My goal for this riddle is to have everyone give up, then to reveal the answer and have them all go "Ohhhhh... That makes sense".

BTW, I usually play the PC version, so I don't use the Square Button anyway. :p

Skyblade

The "Beat-Up Useless Old Key" found in Mideel?

Rantzien got it.

You find it and use it to try to open a door. It breaks off, and you can't do anything else with it. If you talk to the shop owner, he'll give you an item (if you pick the right answer), and tell you that the door wasn't really a door, so trying to open it was pointless. You never find out what the key is actually for though.

Is it Emerald Weapon?

BTW Black Orb is now Pink Orb because of a thread that whoever posts in it has to change their name and ava.

No. Good guess though.

leader of mortals
07-06-2009, 06:01 AM
Is the riddle grammatically correct, meaning lines 1 and 2 go together and lines 3 and 4 go together?

If you want to know the diference, if 2 and 3 were together, it would mean that it is destroyed once it is lost, while if 1 and 2 were together it would mean it is lost at one point.

Melissaur
07-06-2009, 06:52 AM
The latter.

G13
07-06-2009, 09:46 PM
