FF6 Riddles !

[Jiro]

OH MAN IS IT THE ELDER OF NARSHE?

He has no name, check. Narshe has relation to Lone Wolf who was also mentioned, check. There is a rift between Narshe and the Returners, and then Narshe and the Empire, the later caused by the choice to protect Tritrotch (who I assume is the old school myth).

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope

[Jiro]

That really leaves me all out of ideas. Unless it has something to do with ????? on the Phantom Train. I think there is another character called Impresario on the train, or at least shares the same sprite. But otherwise, I think it's hint time :(

[Wolf Kanno]

He doesn't have a name ;)

[Vermachtnis]

Umaro

[Wolf Kanno]

UmaroHe doesn't have a name ;)

[Jiro]

And now I have a handful of ideas, but one guess at a time! It's not the guy who painted a portrait of Gestahl, is it? That one guy who painted stuff and I believe gave them to Impressario.

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope, you guys were closer awhile back.

[mikuel]

A possible tough one...

I have no name, to bore you with
ancient treasures are my gift
A surprise guest from old school myth
a choice of action leads to rift.

Hint: the third line is deceptive.

wtf? oh well....
I would say exdeath if he would be in, due to rift, but no...
the who ever he was who was gonna eat cyans soul. boss.

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope, does everyone want to keep guessing or should I just answer it and let someone else try their hand at it?

[mikuel]

SAVE US!

[Vermachtnis]

Got one more. The petrified queen?

[Hollycat]

I gives!

[Wolf Kanno]

Got one more. The petrified queen?
No, last clue, I live in Narshe

[mikuel]

Got one more. The petrified queen?
No, last clue, I live in Narshe

if I can try second time, I sez the man who helped terra and told locke to find him. the same one with "slave crown" wich he got from terra

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope, it isn't Arvis. This guy is an NPC, he has no name.

[Jiro]

Is it the man who gives you the Cursed Shield? I have no real reasoning for this.

[Vermachtnis]

The guy who gives you Ragnarok Magicite/makes Ragnarok Sword

[Wolf Kanno]

No on both.

[Jiro]

I must give up then! Short of starting the game again and talking to every NPC, I won't be able to guess this :(

[Wolf Kanno]

Many of you were close when you talked about LoneWolf the Pickpocket, you just went wrong on focusing on him. The answer to the riddle is the old adventurer who gives you his treasure and then gets plundered by LoneWolf the Pickpocket. I figured it wouldn't be that hard since most people go after Mog or the Gold Hairpin most people would remember the old man. I guess I was wrong... :eep:

I'll give someone else a shot at making a new riddle.

[mikuel]

can I make the new riddle?

[Jiro]

Go for it mikuel. Sorry Wolf Kanno, it's been a while since I last played! It was a nice riddle though, very well done :D

[mikuel]

lets see... this is gonna be easy.

"im the king. and those who try to cross my territory will meet my wrath.
But those who endure my wrath, I shall aid"

not sure if this is in snes version... I played gba one

[Wolf Kanno]

Odin?

[mikuel]

he is summon but not odin. odin aint "king". I think this can be answered right with ff6 information only, but ff4 helps bit.

[Jiro]

Oh man, so many possibilities here. It's not to do with receiving Bahamut after defeating Deathgaze, is it?

[Hollycat]

bahamut

dang it: I didn't see Jiro's post.
How about leviathin

[mikuel]

aand I lost to cactuar. yup, answer was leviathan.
he is king of sea, and if you cross his territory, he attacks.
go ahead, oh cactus man

[Hollycat]

I am a mirror, no, wait I'm not, I am a puddle, oops, that idea is shot. I am a still lake, and an icy blade. Oh wait, no I'm not. But also I am.

[Wolf Kanno]

Celes Chere

[mikuel]

shiva. (something random, coz kanno got this right, I think)

[Hollycat]

nope to both

[Vermachtnis]

Chadernook

[Hollycat]

nope

[Vermachtnis]

The Art Gallery itself

[Hollycat]

nope

[Wolf Kanno]

Gogo

[Hollycat]

ding ding ding

[Wolf Kanno]

Wait what?

[Hollycat]

you got it!

[Wolf Kanno]

This one might be hard. I may give hints as flat out elimination of options.

power from within, guides strength's fate
forsaken beast, from warriors fête
rarely seen, causes broken dreams
amnesic soldier, has the better one it seems...

[Hollycat]

is it Terra in esper form?

[Vermachtnis]

Crusader

[mikuel]

...wtf... I sez atma

[Wolf Kanno]

No to everyone.


...wtf... I sez atma

Though you are slightly warmer if you get on the right track. I'll just say this, it's not a character or NPC.

[Hollycat]

doomtrain

[Vermachtnis]

Curley/Curlax

[Wolf Kanno]

No one both.

Hint #2: It's not a monster

[mikuel]

I say its text somewhere written... or then its Wolf Kanno

[Wolf Kanno]

Its something tangible and you don't talk to it.

[Hollycat]

...... the esper in the mountains?

[Vermachtnis]

Alexander

[Hollycat]

jumbo cactuar

[mikuel]

ODIN!

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope.

The last line in the riddle is not about FFVI.

[mikuel]

gilgamesh?

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope but he does make cameos in a lot of SE games.

[Jiro]

Well the amnesic soldier is has to be Cloud. What does he have that's better? A bigger sword, or materia, something along those lines.

So, is it magicite? It's tangible and you don't talk to it (unless you're technical and count Ramuh speaking after transformation). Oh and it's power from within, y'know. You get magic spells from the magicite etc etc.

[Hollycat]

repost?

[Wolf Kanno]

Well the amnesic soldier is has to be Cloud. What does he have that's better? A bigger sword, or materia, something along those lines.

No, but you're on the right track. The third line will be important and I should stress that it matters which version of VI you played to get some of the hints.

[Jiro]

power from within, guides strength's fate
forsaken beast, from warriors fête
rarely seen, causes broken dreams
amnesic soldier, has the better one it seems...

Mentioning the versions would narrow it down if I was willing to go research, but I'm not :p Instead I will make lame attempts at guessing whilst providing terrible reasoning.

I think the broken dreams line refers to some sort of game error as a result of a monster, a la MissingNo. I can't think of any in the game, but I'm sure somebody will be aware of it (if I'm even right).

[Wolf Kanno]

Part of it references the Woosely script the other references the GBA script. It's not a missing monster nor is it an esper. Also, you are correct about the last line being a reference to Cloud Jiro. Just know the riddle in question works differently in both games.

[Jiro]

I cannot for the life of me find a comparison between the two scripts. I would love to nail this riddle and give you the perfect justification but I don't think I'll be able to.

However while googling I saw a key word Midgardsormr so perhaps that is related in some way. xD

[Wolf Kanno]

I'll just give the answer. Its the weapon Organyx


power from within, guides strength's fate

Its a weapon that consumes MP to give critical hits


forsaken beast, from warriors fête

The weapon can be acquired from the Coliseum and the second part is a reference to the fact the weapon is called the Ogre Nix in the Woosely script.


rarely seen, causes broken dreams

Its an uncommon weapon, and it can break in battle.


amnesic soldier, has the better one it seems...

Cloud has a sword called Organics but the Japanese spelling makes these the same weapon. Zidanes Ogre is apparently named after this weapon as well. I say its better cause its more common and doesn't break. :p

[Jiro]

Well hot damn! Nice work WK, I never would've gotten it. The Colosseum and I didn't get on too well ;)

Please, do throw another riddle up :D

[Wolf Kanno]

I'm going to let someone else take over.
