FF7 Riddles From Zero

[Bubba]

Beautiful, everlasting,
I was stricken down,
But I'm supposed to last forever!

It is something tangible.

Incorrect guesses:
Jenova
Aerith
Tifa's boobs
Lucrecia

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Sephiroth? If the riddle is told from his view.

[Shaibana]

Sephiroth? If the riddle is told from his view.

.. makes sense

[Bubba]

Beautiful, everlasting,
I was stricken down,
But I'm supposed to last forever!

Wedge?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

President Shinra?

If it is not him, then what does I mean?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

One of the weapons?

[maybee]

Rufus Shrina !

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

I'll guess Sephiroth.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Beautiful, everlasting,
I was stricken down,
But I'm supposed to last forever!

This entire riddle makes me think of Midgar for some reason.

[Jinx]

Rydrum's on the right track.

I just realized that this was my riddle. :3

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

TB was probably distracted by how perfect she is ^^ no offense. Anyway. Ultima weapon.

[Jiro]

Diamond Weapon. Because diamonds are forever.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

hmm also makes sense.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Diamond Weapon. Because diamonds are forever.

Thanks Jared. (if that is too local of a joke- then how about: Thanks Sean!)

I'll say ultimate weapon.

Although he didn't say it was a weapon just that my thought was on the right track. There are a number of of things in the game that were supposed to last forever (i.e. jenova)

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Tifa's Boobs is a girl, oddly enough.

[Jinx]

Tifa's Boobs is a girl, oddly enough.

Why is that so odd?

Jiro's got it. :kiss:

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

darn it I was close lol

well he thought you were a guy lol. I thought you were a guy too until I looked on your profile and was like "ooo a girl ^_^"

anyways awesome jiro is on hopefully we get the next riddle soon ^_^ haven't done this in years.

[Jinx]

darn it I was close lol

well he thought you were a guy lol. I thought you were a guy too until I looked on your profile and was like "ooo a girl ^_^"

anyways awesome jiro is on hopefully we get the next riddle soon ^_^ haven't done this in years.

Who is "he?"

[Jiro]

Everywhere you look
Disaster strikes!
Just close your eyes
Or look to the front
Try not to notice

god I hate making riddles or something.

[Jinx]

When Meteor is in the process of being summoned and it hangs in the sky?

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

I don't know Cloud/Tifa.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

sounds like president shinra ignoring all the problems and continuing ruining the environment for mako.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Jiro can you say if it's a person, thing, or event?

[Jiro]

It's a person. None of the guesses so far are right.

[Jinx]

Aeris.

[Jiro]

Incorrect!

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Oh! Shinra manager. That guy on the train.

[Jiro]

Nope, not him either!

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

wow lol am I close? hmm maybe Reeve.

[Jiro]

Here's a handy hint: the character doesn't have a name ;)

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

oh it's some random npc

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Everywhere you look
Disaster strikes!
I'm guessing, this relates to the Mako energy draining the Planet.

Just close your eyes
Or look to the front
Try not to notice
I'm not sure, but I think this refers to constant fighting because of the Mako energy draining.

My guess: the Mako produced by the Shinra Electric Company.

[Jiro]

Shinwa Tsuki I think you're a bit off target. Keep trying though, with thought processes like you have, it won't be long before you find that right thread to follow.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Hm...

[Rantz]

Is it that guy in Midgar who looks down all the time and then up, and then decides to look straight ahead? I think that's how it went.

[Karifean]

Is it some guy on a train? .....could it be the guy Barret almost beats up?

[Melissaur]

The guy on the train who steals from you?

[Jiro]

Is it that guy in Midgar who looks down all the time and then up, and then decides to look straight ahead? I think that's how it went.

Pretty sure it's a woman but yes. They are constantly walking around, trying to find goodies on the ground until the plate falls from above. Then they look up until Meteor is there. Then it becomes a bit of just staring ahead and waiting for death.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

So wait he got the riddle right? Congrats Rantz!

[Jiro]

Rantz you're up.

[Rantz]

Here's my riddle:

Forsooth! My hair is... a chocobo!!

[Jiro]

Are you smurfing Cloud

[Rantz]

YES I AM

[Jiro]

Well well well! Let me just get around to writing a riddle, one moment plz.

Deep and dark and dank
Watch out slick, better be quick!
This is where you come face to face with the face.

[Jinx]

The Fire Cave!

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

hmm you mean the gi cave?

[Jinx]

Gi Cave, Fire Cave, same diff.

[Jiro]

It is the Cave of the Gi.

[Jinx]

Aight, so I got it?

Lemme come up with something.

[Jinx]

First I was
Then I wasn't
Then I am, and then I am, and then I am
Hidden secrets, and I still am
But not as much

[Shinwa Tsuki]

First I was
The answer was their first... .

Then I wasn't
And then is wasn't... .

Then I am, and then I am, and then I am
The answer is likely seen in Midgar first, then in other areas.

Hidden secrets, and I still am
The answer is still there, yet it contains hidden secrets.

But not as much
The secrets that the answer holds is still there but "not as much".

[Shaibana]

im verry bad at riddle's...
yuffie's secret hidden materia stack?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

I'm not sure...... I forgot to give my answer as my previous post was my analysis. My guess: the Potion item, it looses it's potency, you see it often, although I'm not sure about the 'hidden secrets'.

[Jinx]

Nope. :)

[FFIX Choco Boy]

First I was
-available at or near the beginning of the game?

Then I wasn't
-unavailable for a little while

Then I am, and then I am, and then I am
-the available again, in disc 1, still available in disc 2, then still again in disc 3

Hidden secrets, and I still am
-maybe where it's still available is hidden?

But not as much
-some of the places it can be obtained have been closed off?

Hmm... No guesses here, but that's how I analyzed it.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

The answer can not be a missable item then. I guess the Cure/Restore materia as you don't need it as much later on in the game.

[Jinx]

You encounter it in a way, but it's still optional in another way.

[Jiro]

Wouldn't happen to be those dudes who act as a tutorial?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I second Jiro's guess. Even though I still dislike him >.>

[Jinx]

Ah, nope.

You can encounter on any disk, but is most important on first disc. Semi-compulsory.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Getting Aerith's final limit break, Great Gospel?

[Rantz]

... Aeris? >.>

[Karifean]

Golden Saucer?

[Jinx]

No. It's a monster.

[Hollycat]

So not Yuffie then?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The Ghost monster that you can steal the Ghost Glove from in the Train Graveyard?

[Karifean]

Midgar Zolom?

[Shaibana]

cactuar?

[Jinx]

About damn time! Karifean got it after a shit ton of hints!

First I was
The first time you see it, it's alive in the swamp and slithering around.

Then I wasn't
Sephiroth impales it on a tree, so it's dead

Then I am, and then I am, and then I am
After that, it's back! And you can kill it several times.

Hidden secrets, and I still am
If you use the save glitch, it's still there...

But not as much
...but far enough away to outrun it!


Karifean, go.

[Karifean]

Anyone feel free to take my turn.

[Jinx]

DON'T ANSWER IT IF YOU WON'T MAKE A RIDDLE :mad2:


Oh, my dearest love
The secret things you've been hiding
Lost in memories, but still so close
If I look, will I find you?
If I find you, will I lose you?

[Shaibana]

aeris

[Jinx]

Nope.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

The Lifestream Event?

[Jinx]

Nope.

Remember, rationalizing always helps, so I can see your thinking! :)

[Crop]

DON'T ANSWER IT IF YOU WON'T MAKE A RIDDLE :mad2:



Some people enjoy making riddles, others enjoy solving them. This thread has been around forever too, so lots of people have just ran out of ideas.
That's why it's fun when someone relatively new takes an interest, as it sparks the thread up again.

Forgive me as I couldn't write a riddle to save my life, but I'll have a crack at this one since I like it -

Is it Lucrecia?

[Jinx]

Nope.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Crop's right. I've been extremely dedicated to the riddles threads since they were first created, so I've fairly run out of ideas, as well. Heck, I've even just reposted one of my exact same riddles more than once. >.> But that doesn't leave this thread.

Is it Aerith's mom, Ifalna?

[Jinx]

noopr

[Shinwa Tsuki]

My breakdown.

Oh, my dearest love
The answer is someone or something that is very dear. The person or thing is loved by the speaker.

The secret things you've been hiding
The answer has secrets that they've been hiding.

Lost in memories, but still so close
The answer is lost in memories, but is still spiritually close by.

If I look, will I find you?
If the speaker looks, they would find their love — which is the answer.

If I find you, will I lose you?
Yet, if the speaker finds their love, would they loose it?

Something brings to mind the Lifestream in general.

[Jinx]

The answer is not a person.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Uh.... Okay.

[Jiro]

Lucrecia? The riddle could be from Vincent's perspective.

[Bubba]

Oh, my dearest love
The secret things you've been hiding
Lost in memories, but still so close
If I look, will I find you?
If I find you, will I lose you?

I think Miss Boobs said it wasn't a person. It does smack of the Lifestream event though with "Lost in memories" and "Secrets you've been hiding".

Though if not... is it the secret cinema section involving Zack in the basement of the Shinra mansion?

[Jiro]

Oh, I didn't even see that hint. Hmm.

[Jinx]

No to all.


Hint: The riddle is from Cloud's perspective.

[Jiro]

Cloud's dearest love could be anything. It could be his memories themselves. Or his sanity. That voice in his head.

[Bubba]

Hmm... it's hard to imagine that Cloud's "dearest love" wouldn't be a person. Unless he has an extreme liking for his hair or something.

The secret things you've been hiding

There are lots of "secret" and "hidden" things in this game. Cait Sith hides the fact that he's a spy but he's hardly Cloud's dearest love (unless he 's weirder than we thought).

Is it maybe the White Materia? It is hidden that Aeris has used it and prayed for Holy. Plus, it reminds Cloud of Aeris "lost in memory"

Actually, that's pretty thin. I don't think it's that.

I've no idea. The riddle seems a bit too vague unless I'm missing something really obvious which I probably am.

[Jinx]

He's speaking to someone, but the answer isn't a person.

[Shaibana]

is it Midgar?

[Palom Porom]

I'm not sure about the 'dearest love' part, but the rest sounds a lot like Cloud on the brink of finding out who he actually is.
Basically schizophrenic, his secrets are hidden from his own mind. While he knows a memory but it's altered so he puts himself in another's shoes. So close yet so far. But by 'finding you' while meaning himself, he will lose what he knew so well about himself.

So that's my answer - Cloud talking to his consciousness. ? - My first post by the way.

[Jiro]

Perhaps the Buster Sword then!

[Palom Porom]

Buster Sword....I think you might have it! As if I looked way way too deep into that one. Buster Sword makes so much sense and also way more simple than the whole conciouss thing.

[Jiro]

Tifa's Boobs did say talking to someone, though. I'm not so sure now. Jenova? The voice in his head? This is confusing.

[Jinx]

The first key is to figure out who he's talking to. It's relatively simple and straightforward. :)

[Bubba]

I assume he's talking to Tifa?

[Jinx]

I assume he's talking to Tifa?


Correct.

[Bubba]

Um, I dunno...

The letter Cloud finds in her room?

[Jinx]

Um, I dunno...

The letter Cloud finds in her room?

No.

[Palom Porom]

Is it an open floor for riddle's?

[Jinx]

No. One riddle at a time, whoever correctly guesses makes the next riddle.

[Palom Porom]

The answer is not a person.
This is difficult, so he's talking to someone, but the answer is not a person?
Can we get another hint? Please?

[Jinx]

The answer is not a person.
This is difficult, so he's talking to someone, but the answer is not a person?
Can we get another hint? Please?

If I give away another hint, I'll give away the answer. Look back over the recent posts--Bubba figured out who the riddle is addressing. That's key.

[Palom Porom]

Oh, My Dearest Love
This means he's talking to Tifa, that's not the answer but that's a clue in itself.
The Secret Thing You've Been Hiding
Maybe meaning - Tifa was hiding the fact that Cloud shouldn't be experiencing those memories that way.That it was someone else's memories.
If I Look, Will I Find You?
If I Find You, Will I Lose You?
This is all very cryptic.

[Jinx]

If I look, will I find you?
If I find you, will I lose you?

Italic is the answer to the riddle. Bold is Tifa.

[Bubba]

Hmmm... it still seems pretty vague to me. It's a little confusing as well as the riddle clearly relates to both the answer and Tifa. There isn't a clear distinction between either.

Oh, My Dearest Love
As previously stated, this refers to Tifa.
The Secret Thing You've Been Hiding
Which "you" is this one? Tifa or the answer?. If we assume that it's Tifa then I suppose the main thing she was hiding was the truth about Cloud's past.
Lost in memories, but still so close
Cloud has a lot of memories, some true and some false, but he is close to finding the truth.
If I Look, Will I Find You
This relates to the answer so maybe it is the truth about Cloud's past?
If I Find You, Will I Lose You
If Cloud discovers the truth he may have lost Tifa.

I'm sure this has already been guessed but I'm going to go with simply... the truth about Cloud.

[Jinx]

No. You're on track with the first two lines, but I broke the last two lines down earlier, if you scroll up.

Yeah, I read those. That's why I explained the penultimate line relates to the answer. I dunno though... can't figure out the last part.

[Jinx]

Focus on the third line more than the fourth.

[Bubba]

Lost in memories,
This is the line that reminds me most of the Lifestream event but we already know it isn't that. Cloud is pretty much lost in memories the whole game.
but still so close... close to what? Close to Tifa? Close to the truth? Close to finding himself? There doesn't seem to be any concrete clues that allude to anything in particular. It's probably just something obvious that I'm missing though which is annoying!

[Jinx]

oh fuck it, do you guys just want me to give you the answer?

[Palom Porom]

It's up to you. I can't figure it out so..

[Jinx]

Bubba has been the closest so far. Very close in fact.

[Bubba]

Well I'll happily do the next riddle if I've been closest so yeah... we'll have the answer because I'm all out.

I demand a thorough explanation though!

[Jinx]

Um, I dunno...

The letter Cloud finds in her room?

No.

This was the closest guess.

[Palom Porom]

Shit I don't know, Tifa's house?

[Bubba]

The orthopedic underwear!

You are given the choice of whether or not you look in her cupboard.

If you find them will she think you're a dirty pervert? Probably... I took them every time

[Jinx]

About time, after I spoon fed it to you.


Oh, my dearest love
Tifa, of course.

The secret things you've been hiding
Her undies :)

Lost in memories, but still so close
You find the panties in the flashback. Tifa is still nearby wearing underwear, though.

If I look, will I find you?
You've gotta look for the underwear to find it.

If I find you, will I lose you?
If you find the underwear, you piss Tifa off.


Go, Bubba.

[Bubba]

To be fair though, the riddle was so vague and confusing we needed spoon-feeding... it literally could've been anything.

I'll do one in the morning when I'm in work.

[Bubba]

Double post, what of it? :cool:

Sounds pretty straightforward to me but they all do when you know the answer... anyway, here goes.

Soothing and relaxing, it's me you first keep
But it's certain we will pay for our sleep
You mite not reach, you might not find
Give five of the best, I'm handy in a bind

[Jiro]

After knowing that the person was Tifa, I knew exactly what the answer was. Sorry I didn't come and guess it earlier! Good one TB, nicely played indeed.

Gonna go out on a limb and suggest Bubba is looking for an item here. Not sure yet, but it must be early in the game. I'll think more on it.

[Jinx]

Tent?

[Bubba]

Nope.

[Jinx]

Soothing and relaxing, it's me you first keep
Something calming. A tranqulizer? Dunno.

But it's certain we will pay for our sleep
Makes me think of an Inn. Of course, it could also mean something bad will happen if you go to sleep.

You mite not reach, you might not find
Mite...like a bug?

Give five of the best, I'm handy in a bind
err


Using a Hyper because of Sadness?

[Bubba]

Nope. But you're getting there with the second line.

[Jinx]

It's the last line I'm confused most about.

The Lunar Harp?

[Bubba]

It's not the harp.

[Jinx]

Does it have to do with Fort Condor at all?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Cure Materia?

[Bubba]

Does it have to do with Fort Condor at all?
Nope. It's before Fort Condor.

Cure Materia?
Nope.

[Jinx]

The dress you where to fool Don Corneo!

[Dr. rydrum2112]

did you mean might? or did you use the bug "mite" on purpose?

[Bubba]

Soothing and relaxing, it's me you first keep
But it's certain we will pay for our sleep
You mite not reach, you might not find
Give five of the best, I'm handy in a bind


The dress you where to fool Don Corneo!
Nope.

did you mean might? or did you use the bug "mite" on purpose?
The spelling of mite is on purpose but doesn't relate to the bug 'mite'

[Melissaur]

Is this referring to an Item?

[Jinx]

Molotov Cocktail?

[Bubba]

Is this referring to an Item?

Yes. But one found in a specific location. There are also other places you can get this item.


Molotov Cocktail?

Nope.

There are plenty of clues in the riddle so try and break it down.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Soothing and relaxing, it's me you first keep

Nope.

The spelling of mite is on purpose but doesn't relate to the bug 'mite'

you've confused me! mite is a bug, don't know any other meaning for that spelling.

the 5 makes me think its an weapon or armor with 5 materia spots. Not sure about the sleeping part- can you dig a weapon up in sleeping village?

[Melissaur]

the 1/35th solider?

[Jiro]

The first thing you "keep" is the potions off the guard. I can't help but feel it's related to potions. However, the sleeping part - which obviously references an Inn - makes me think more along the lines of the Wall Market Inn where you sleep at the Inn to get the energy drinks or w/e for the guy who gets you the tiara.

There are also way more ideas bouncing around but I'm struggling to clean 'em up

[Karifean]

Could it be Mogrys?

[Jinx]

I JUST FIGURED IT OUT :D

It's the 5 gil of the sleeping boy in Sector 5!

[Bubba]

In retropect, i think my first line is a little bit misleading. It relates to the place in which the item is found. The word "keep" relates more to the old-fashioned term for tower or town. The location is outside of Midgar though.

It isn't mogrys or 1/35 soldier.


I JUST FIGURED IT OUT:D

It's the 5 gil of the sleeping boy in Sector 5!

Sorry Miss Boobs, it's not that.

I can see where you're coming from though!

[Jinx]

PHS?

[Jiro]

Outside of Midgar and before Fort Condor leaves us with the following locations:

Kalm
Nibleheim (flashback)
Mythril Mines
Chocobo Farm

I'd say Kalm is the winner thanks to it being the first post-Midgar location you find.

Oh is it the Megalixir you get for smashing the cupboard? Takes five good hits after all.

[Bubba]

I'd say Kalm is the winner thanks to it being the first post-Midgar location you find.

Oh is it the Megalixir you get for smashing the cupboard? Takes five good hits after all.

Correct! Jiro has it!

Soothing and relaxing, it's me you first keep
The first part references the name of the town "Kalm" while the latter part refers to the first town or "keep" you come to on the world map.
But it's certain we will pay for our sleep
As a few of you pointed out it's a clear reference to an Inn.
You mite not reach, you might not find
Refers to the Megalixer in the Inn cupboard that you can't reach. Some players don't find the secret of obtaining it. Also, "mite" is an anagram of the word 'item'.
Give five of the best, I'm handy in a bind
As Jiro correctly pointed out, it takes five hits to dislodge said item from it's home.

You're up, man!

[Melissaur]

Good Job Dak!

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Well played Jiro- I didn't even remember that, until you mentioned it.

[Jiro]

I've got 3844 files all squared away
This floor is all about that
But organisation isn't my strong suit
I'll sit here and let my hart do the work
Just have to remember the password

Yeah that should be enough nonsense for you to figure it out.

[Bubba]

It's a reference to Mayor Domino's chanllenge he sets you on the 62nd floor of Shinra HQ. Hart is his bodyguard who you can go to if you require clues.

The riddle is being told from his perspective so I'll just guess Mayor Domino?

[Jiro]

Aye, that was easy xD

[Bubba]

I'll be busy with speeches till tomorrow so if anyone wants to submit one, feel free.

If not I'll do one tomorrow.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Talk to me before I lose it.
Battle until I get it back.
Talk again, and it's gone again.
Battle, eventually, it's back.
I have the best you need,
though you may only get one,
I wish that my assistant
would do more than just chirp.

[Karifean]

Chocobo Sage?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Karifean has it. And I thought that one was cryptic enough to last a couple days, too...

[Shaibana]

Karifean has it. And I thought that one was cryptic enough to last a couple days, too...

´´I wish that my assistant
would do more than just chirp.´´
that gave alot away though :P

[Karifean]

open round

[Hollycat]

A hidden item, often found, but never taken.
A dream, or is it real?
The second pass doesn't reveal the truth,
Maybe I should just take a peek.

[Shaibana]

is it the item under the chocobo nest? where you have to choose to take it or not?

[Hollycat]

Nope

[Shaibana]

i remember in Crisis core, in the shinra mension you have to peek through keyholes..

does FF7 have the same kind of scene? cant remember :o
.. becaus then thats my answer xD

[Melissaur]

In final fantasy 7 you could peek through keyholes at the Honey Bee in. but you didn't have to

[Hollycat]

Nope.

[Jinx]

Orthopedic underwear!

[Hollycat]

THere ya go!

[Jinx]

Wow. That's two riddles almost in a row with Orthopedic Underwear being the answer.................xD

Gimme a bit to get a riddle around!

[Jinx]

Rabbi, professor, traveler
Some might even say Superman
YOU WON'T LIKE ME WHEN I'M ANGRY
Flame on!

Yup.

You know he's real, but you cannot hurt him
Before you meet him you spy on him

Super easy one.

[Jinx]

PRESIDENT SHINRA

or Don Corneo?

[Shaibana]

PRESIDENT SHINRA

or Don Corneo?

i think president shinra is right :o cant remember any spy moment @ Don corneo

[Palom Porom]

PRESIDENT SHINRA

or Don Corneo?

i think president shinra is right :o cant remember any spy moment @ Don corneo

Not President shinra or Don Corneo

[Shaibana]

pff super easy he says :P

it can not be labeled easy until I have managed to solve it xD

[Sephiroth]

You know he's real, but you cannot hurt him
Cait Sith/Reeve. Reeve is real but you cannot hurt him because he always uses Cait Sith which is just a stuffed "pet". In Dirge of Cerberus you even see his pet running around while Reeve is talking to you. If is would not be for the "you know he's real" sentence which can mean everything I would only say "Cait Sith", but this way both since many people use "Cait Sith" for "Reeve" as well.
Before you meet him you spy on him
In the Honey Bee Inn you can find him, Cait Sith, when Shinra cheats his wife again.
Who loves making honey?
What honey's like making money?
Also references of the Honey Bee Manor and maybe you even mean that he earns much money as a ShinRa employee.
Foreshadow.


A dream, or is it real?

It was not real, even though it was a fitting joke of Cloud.

Of course I am waiting for PalomPorom's answer but I will post a riddle here and in case he call for another round, you can answer it:

You might have never found me
well, no wonder, that big one mostly finds thee.
The likes of you won't differ my brother and me.
How to beat, how to catch,
hurry up with your guess or I am gone
since you are no match.

[Palom Porom]

Sepheroth, you got it. I thought I'd make lots and lots of references because I beat this game 6 times and it was only the last playthrough I looked through a key hole at the honey bee in and seen cait sith in one of the rooms. I always wonderd why he was there, it's not like reeve can get pussy by sending a robot to do the do.

[Sephiroth]

Sepheroth, you got it.

I always wonderd why he was there, it's not like reeve can get pussy by sending a robot to do the do.

Well, is was more of a gag and some people escorting President Shinra who was there for his perverted roleplay.

So I guess, "Cait Sith" was the answer you definitely wanted but both together is also okay for you.

Riddle:

You might have never found me
well, no wonder, that big one mostly finds thee.
The likes of you won't differ my brother and me.
How to beat, how to catch,
hurry up with your guess or I am gone
since you are no match.

[Bubba]

You might have never found me
well, no wonder, that big one mostly finds thee.
The likes of you won't differ my brother and me.
How to beat, how to catch,

Hmmm... is it the Ultima WEAPON that flies around the map screen before you destroy it in Cosmo Canyon?

[Sephiroth]

You might have never found me

Hmmm... is it the Ultima WEAPON that flies around the map screen before you destroy it in Cosmo Canyon?

That is a good guess but focus on the "won't differ" part. WEAPONs can be differed.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

If I'm not mistaken, the "won't differ" part relates to either the character or the player being unable to distinguish the answer from it's sibling. (That was just an analysis, how accurate should be answered.)

[Skyblade]

I'll go with the obvious. It's a Chocobo.

You might never find them: They are optional.

Big one usually finds you: Midgar Zolom is the reason most people get one.

The likes of you won't differ my brother and me: There is no perceptible difference between the Chocobos, yet there is a great variety that can be caught (poor, good, great, etc).

How to beat, how to catch: Choice of what to do when one shows up.

Hurry up or I'll be gone: They run away shortly into combat.

Because you're no match: No matter how powerful you get, you can't kill them.

[Bubba]

I think Skyblade has it

[FFIX Choco Boy]

If the answer is chocobos, I will be greatly shamed for not having guessed it.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Choco, if the answer if chocobo you shouldn't feel ashamed as chocobos are different in each FF universe if I'm not mistaken (I've played FF7-FF9, no others).

[FFIX Choco Boy]

But I'm obsessed with ALL chocobos. It's all I have! Without chocobo, I'm nothing.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Perhaps, perhaps. I get the feeling that you're exaggerating a bit Choco, that's okay with me though.

[Sephiroth]

Midgar Zolom = Swamps of the Grassland Region
Chocobo = Grassland Region

Swamps =/= Chocobo footsteps. "The big one" (if it would be a the Midgar Zolom) cannot prevent you from finding a Chocobo because it does not even appear in one area.

"No wonder you might not have found me, there is that other guy that finds you most of the time and prevents you from finding me"

Also, Chocobos are all called "Chocobo". It is impossible to mean that one. The one I think of has a name and a similiar monster of the same species has a different name.

So:

No.


You might never find them: They are optional."

That's not the reason. "The big one" is the reason. Think about "why is the big one the reason"? I have already answered half of this question. And actually I have also answered half of the "remaining half" already. The answer to the first two lines cannot be more obvious now with that much of an explanation.


How to beat, how to catch: Choice of what to do when one shows up."

That is a good guess but the "catching" thing is the only thing that is not necessary to be taken seriously. It only refers to how fast the enemy is, like the two other lines.


Hurry up or I'll be gone: They run away shortly into combat.

Because you're no match: No matter how powerful you get, you can't kill them."

You also need to think about both lines connected. "Because" ... why do you fail to do something? And why do you need to hurry up? Well, the last one, the "I'll be gone" part is answered in the riddle itself already and by you as well.

And the "how to beat" part is really about "defeating them" and that does not work with a Chocobo. "Because you're no match" refers to the monster as a tricky enemy but nothing more. It is just the last line with a bit more meaning than the "catching part" plus gives the "guess part" a meaning about the riddle itself, so you won't just be able to defeat him but you also are not able to find out who I am asking for in this riddle because he is rare and tricky to fight. So focus more on the rest. I told you much about what what means, even everyhing about the last line now.


If I'm not mistaken, the "won't differ" part relates to either the character or the player being unable to distinguish the answer from it's sibling. (That was just an analysis, how accurate should be answered.)

You/The heroes would not be able to notice the difference between the one I am looking for and its similiar looking "siblings", as you call them because their appearance is pretty much the same. For this you need to take this line serious as if Cloud and the others would be living people and stand before something they would not recognize as something different than the monster they can find somewhere else. This is only about physical appearance. The stats are completely different. Same would go for the Chocobos, of course. However, like I said, that is wrong.


Choco, if the answer if chocobo you shouldn't feel ashamed as chocobos are different in each <acronym title="Final Fantasy">FF</acronym> universe if I'm not mistaken (I've played <acronym title="Final Fantasy VII">FF7</acronym>-<acronym title="Final Fantasy IX">FF9</acronym>, no others).

This is a Final Fantasy VII forum. So the difference line only counts for Final Fantasy VII. I am not that inhuman to make a multiverse riddle. And actually Chocobos always are very similiar, but yes, the physical appearance I ask for in the riddle is really about "I look totally equal to my brother in your eyes, Cloud (and the others)". Well, the guy i am looking for is even more similiar, but I'm telling you too much about it and then it could be too easy.

Lucrecia, Gast, Hojo or Shalua would probably know the difference, they are scientists, biologists, genetic scientists, have eidetic memories, et cetera and an eye for details ... but no "normal people", so imagine Cloud and the others meeting the monster I am asking for and then meeting the similiar looking monster. They would never be able to tell you the difference because they look like twins. This, however goes too much into unnecessary explanations which could probably only be more confusing for you. By the way, this is not supposed to be taken to seriously. I just wanted to mention the similiarity. Too much of a detail and the riddle would not work. So I act as if the monster would talk to "biology noobs".

If you have never met that monster you cannot answer this riddle. The "never found me" part is meaningful as you can see. Actually all parts, excluding the "catching part" are but only that part really hinders you from solving that riddle ... that and maybe bad memory ... or missing logical conclusions ... okay, it's three possibilities why you may not solve it, heh.

That is really too much text for this riddle because it takes away the fun with all that serious explanations and reasonings when I tell you about them. I put meaning in every line but if it is too hard for people then I will tell you what I am looking for next time.

I give you a hint: First find out, what "the big one" is. Maybe you were lucky enough that "you mostly did not only find that one" and the other guy instead. Then you may remember the monster I ask for. "The big one" can immediately solve this riddle if you just know these things.

You can also write down everything I have told you to help you. Maybe this makes it easier for you to find out the truth.

[o_O]

Initially thought it sounded like the Snow from which you get Alexander, in the Great Glacier. But now I'm saying it's a Magic Pot in the Northern Crater.

[Sephiroth]

Initially thought it sounded like the Snow from which you get Alexander, in the Great Glacier. But now I'm saying it's a Magic Pot in the Northern Crater.

And how can you explain the absolute physical similiarity of two different monsters of the same species with a Magic Pot or a Snow/Pollensalta/Jemnezy? Magic Pot = only one kind appears, Snow species, so the mentioned ones have physical differences and if you mean Snow alone: I said it is one of two monsters which are from the same species and look alike but are not the same monster (obviously, if it is "two" monsters), they don't have the same name, et cetera.

Also, the fountain area of the Northern Crater has no big one.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Choco, if the answer if chocobo you shouldn't feel ashamed as chocobos are different in each <acronym title="Final Fantasy">FF</acronym> universe if I'm not mistaken (I've played <acronym title="Final Fantasy VII">FF7</acronym>-<acronym title="Final Fantasy IX">FF9</acronym>, no others).

Well, the guy i am looking for is even more similiar, but I'm telling you too much about it and then it could be too easy.

I was speaking of my overall experience, I know this is a FF7 riddle thread. Also, Choco or Choco Boy was who I was speaking to.

[Sephiroth]

New hint:

The monster I am looking for is very small, smaller than the characters (take both their character model or the story, it doesn't matter, both is right).

[Bubba]

Tinky Winky?

[Sephiroth]

Serious answers, please.

[Bubba]

Dipsy?

[Sephiroth]

Okay, I will accept no more answers of you. No matter what you write. If you don't want to try then just ignore this thread.

Next one, please.

[Bubba]

Lala?

[Karifean]

Tonberry? The normal one is very difficult to find, but the Master is found rather easily (and frequently).

[Sephiroth]

No, but very close in a certain way.

Another hint.

[Bubba]

Po?

[Karifean]

Cactuar? You can only fight him in an area where you're bound to run into 40 Sand Worms (the "big ones") before you find him and you can't really tell him apart from Cactuer.

[Sephiroth]

Cactuar? You can only fight him in an area where you're bound to run into 40 Sand Worms (the "big ones") before you find him and you can't really tell him apart from Cactuer.

Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing!

Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. "40 Sand Worms".

And you forgot to mention that he is hard to hit in case you don't use something like a Summon (how to beat how to catch, hurry up with your guess) and he eventually flees (or I am gone) because he is hard to hit and beat for a normal monster (because you are no match).

[Karifean]

Open round.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

I'll take the floor.

Green is my color,
I am but one of many,
Yet I am unique,
What am I?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I'm wanting to say a materia, but none of them are unique, since you get another when you master them. Unless maybe it's the White Materia, which actually glows green when activated?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

It is the White Materia. It is unique in that there is only one, and that it is a counterpart to the Black Materia.

Choco, you're up.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Inaccessible, I tempt you.
The elemental lord forbids passage.
The trees bar your way.
Another guardian stands, as well.
Mystery, that goes unsolved.
You'll never know what lies inside.

What am I?

[Sephiroth]

That sounds like The Forgotten Capital with being inaccessible because of the Sleeping Forest which only awakes with the Moon Harp and Kujata as Elemental Lord.

It could also be the Round Island Cave, but for the Forgotten Capital the text is more fitting. Except you don't mean real trees, hm ...

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Not the Forgotten Capital.

[Sephiroth]

Yeah, I thought so. It was too easy.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The riddle threads are dying... It's a real shame.

[Bubba]

The riddle threads are dying... It's a real shame.

Never! They may lie dormant for a while but their popularity will pick up again eventually.

It sounds to me like the ancient forest that you can only reach by Gold Chocobo or defeating Ultimate Weapon. I'm not sure all the clues quite fit but it sounds similar with trees barring your way and a guardian stands...

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Not the Ancient Forest, either.

[Bubba]

I'm gonna take another guess but we might need a clue soon. When I say "we" obviously I mean "I" at the moment!

Is it the Temple of the Ancients? Again, I don't think it really fits but it's inaccessible without the Keystone, it has more than one 'guardian' and it's surrounded by trees.

Man, that was a pretty lame guess actually... awaiting the inevitable rejection! Hopefully someone will come along soon who is better at this than me.

Anyway, Temple of the Ancients?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Not TotA.

Hint: The Forgotten Capital is the closest guess so far, in terms of storyline progression.

[Sephiroth]

The closest? You mean the Cave which cannot be entered where a way leads down to a vine which cannot be climbed up? Or short, the thing that is called the "Cave of the Ancients"? That's an obvious one as well then. I didn't take that inaccessible and all that literally.

http://imageshack.us/a/img827/4074/cavev.jpg
http://imageshack.us/a/img823/7249/cave2u.jpg

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Yes, the Cave of the Ancients is the correct answer.

Inaccessible, I tempt you. - Obvious
The elemental lord forbids passage. - Kjata, who lies in the sleeping forest.
The trees bar your way. - The sleeping forest, which lies just before CotA.
Another guardian stands, as well. - The devs, who cut the cave itself in the final production of the game.
Mystery, that goes unsolved. - Nobody really knows what the cave was going to be.
You'll never know what lies inside. - Obvious.

[Bubba]

Good riddle!

It makes my guesses look all the more ridiculous now...

[Sephiroth]

Open round.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Hoo, boy.
------------
Was it all just a nightmare?
The reality is bleaker then usual.
I was burnt once then restored,
Now you might have never guessed it.
What is my name?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I'll go with the obvious. Nibelhiem?

[Sephiroth]

Nibelheim or something in Nibelheim are the most obvious. Otherwise it could be Corel which was burnt to build the Gold Saucer there and rebuilt as a Desert Camp in the mountains. Teh nightmare thing is not really fitting for that, however. It can be seen what happened to Corel and the terrible state of North Corel as "the best solution they have" also shows it. And Barret also knows it. Maybe also Dyne ... but Dyne was not burnt. You can connect this to Corel being burnt but he was in the mountains when he disappeared. And Barret even knew about Dyne because the doctors told him about a similiar surgery on the other arm of a man. Hm. The most obvious really is Nibelheim or something from Nibelheim.

[Bubba]

No, you're both wrong.

I think the answer is Nibelheim.

[Sephiroth]

No, you're both wrong.

I think the answer is Nibelheim.

No, it is Niburuheimu. Or something from it.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Was it all just a nightmare? - From the character's point of view, something could be a nightmare.
The reality is bleaker then usual. - What the character's thought was a nightmare was the truth.
I was burnt once then restored, - Two places match this: Nibelheim and Correl.
Now you might have never guessed it. - A person/character not native to the place would not suspect anything.
What is my name? - Nibelheim, the reason being was that the Shinra company rebuilt Nibelheim so well that no one would have expected it's nightmarish past.

As Choco got that first - I'll let him take the floor if he wants to.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Open round, I guess. I'm dry.

[Jinx]

I hold everything
Beauty, magic, power, blessings
I slip, I fall
All is released
Like rose petals scattered in the wind
At the end

[Skyblade]

Aeris.

[Jinx]

no

[Sephiroth]

The Lifestream, also possible in its condensed form, the Materia. But the Lifestream itself is more fitting. Mako is also a part of the Lifestream but not all so of the three the Lifestream is the most fitting one and I choose that.

[Jinx]

Nope.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Midgar?

[Jinx]

No.

[Bubba]

It sounds to me like the part where Cloud presents the black Materia to Sephiroth in the Northern Crater... then the weapons are released.

[Sephex]

I hold everything
Beauty, magic, power, blessings
I slip, I fall
All is released
Like rose petals scattered in the wind
At the end

Tifa's boobs.

[Bubba]

I hold everything
Beauty, magic, power, blessings
I slip, I fall
All is released
Like rose petals scattered in the wind
At the end

It seems Miss Boobs would like to utilise me as her official PA for this riddle. That being the case here are a couple of clues to help solve it.

It is not a person or place.
It is not useable

[TwilightLord]

Odin?

I hold everything
Beauty, magic, power, blessings
In Norse mythology, Odin is the god of many things.

I slip, I fall
All is released
Like rose petals scattered in the wind
At the end

As far as I remember, though my memory is vague, the animation for Odin's "Steel Bladed Sword" attack featured rose petals. "All is released" and "At the end" refer to death, which is what the attack causes.
"I slip, I fall"... Not sure about this, but in mythology, Odin's horse was named Sleipnir, which in Old Norse means literally "slippy" or "the slipper" (as in one who slips, not as in something you wear on your foot). "I fall" could be a reference to his other attack, "Gunge Lance".

So my guess is Odin.

[Jinx]

Nope.

My hint:


It is not a person or place.
It is not useable

[DarkBahamut]

Just to clarify; when you say it is not a person, do you mean a being? or only human beings? like can it be a monster

[Bubba]

Is it simply the planet?

It holds everything... I slip, I fall doesn't quite fit I don't think but it reminds me of the planet being in trouble. All is released sounds like the release of the weapons which I suppose scatter to the wind.

At the end may refer to them being awoken to destroy everything.

[Jinx]

Nope. And DarkBahamaut--it's not a being or alive in any way.

[Bubba]

Judging by the lack of responses we may need a clue!

[Cledarius]

Being back to the forum after some time and glad to see new riddles here.

So here's my guess: It might be Holy, or the white materia

I hold everything
Beauty, magic, power, blessings ----> The white materia looks beautiful, is a powerful magic materia, and holds the bessings of aeris within
I slip, I fall ----> refering to the scene where you see the materia falling down into the lake
All is released
Like rose petals scattered in the wind
At the end ----> May mean the end, when Holy/ the power of the white materia is released and the lifestream ist coming from all over the world to fight off meteor.

[Jinx]

You never figured out my riddle
You just decided to sit around and piddle
This new riddle will help you figure it out at last
And perhaps we will all have a laugh
Are you brave enough to have a guess?
Tell me - does this ribbon match my dress?

[Newmani]

I hold everything

At the end

It seems Miss Boobs would like to utilise me as her official PA for this riddle. That being the case here are a couple of clues to help solve it.

It is not a person or place.
It is not useable
Hm......

Is it the Lifestream?

[Jinx]

No.

[Newmani]

Hm. The only other thing I can think of that might fit that criteria is Meteor itself. Sephy is like that but he's a person so he doesn't fit. :-/

[Bubba]

I hold everything
Beauty, magic, power, blessings

Is it the White Materia?

It holds beauty and it also holds power as well with the ability to stop Meteor. "I slip, I fall" sounds like the point where Aeris dies and the white materia drops. Also, at this point, the materia looks like it falls from a ribbon on Aeris' dress.

So yeah, white materia, bitches.

[Jinx]

No, it's not the White Materia (pretty sure like, 3 people have guessed that)...but you're SO CLOSE YOU'RE ON FIRE

[Bubba]

Is it the White Materia?

EDIT: If not then Aeris' pocket
