FF7 Riddles From Zero

[BG-57]

The last riddle thread has gotten so large and unweildy that I can't load it anymore. So here's the new one:

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.

Ranzien has the next one.

[Melissaur]

YAY Go Rantzien!

[Jiro]

I see you closed the thread before I could. Well played, old chap!

[BG-57]

I like to keep the forums tidy. Plus, it's fun to kill my own threads. :D

[Hollycat]

will it be archived or deleted?

[BG-57]

Not for a while. It'll slowly shuffle to the bottom of the thread list as other threads are made or updated. Did you leave something behind? ;)

[Rantz]

An easier life with no fatal surprise
No need to be scared of the stare in those eyes
A cold place, a gold place, a glory untold place
A little bit goes far to prevent the worst case

[Hollycat]

cait sith

[Rantz]

Nope.

[BG-57]

Enemy Away materia?

[Rantz]

Negative!

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The little cottage at the base of the Great Glacier?

[Hollycat]

pressing square to stay alive

[-JJ-]

Chocobo farm, maybe.
The Glacier thing sounds like the right answer.

[Rantz]

Nope, but the Great Glacier is involved.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Making icicles drop in the GG cave, so you can reach that one treasure?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[-JJ-]

Erm, the place (Cavern) in Great Glacier where you can go back to outside of the Great Glacier by rolling? (Or whatever the hell Cloud was doing).

[Rantz]

No. I might mention that while the Glacier is involved, it's only marginally so.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The Snowboard game at Gold Saucer?

[Rantz]

Also marginally involved, but it's not the answer. ;)

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The snowboard game in general, then? Meaning both the GS and GG iterations.

[Rantz]

Nope.

[Hollycat]

the baloons

[Rantz]

Not the balloons.

[Crop]

Is it the place with the statue face in the rocks that you land in after the snowboard game (when you go flying off at the end the end)? It's quite close to the area you need to go if I remember, which would fit part of the riddle.

[Rantz]

Nope, sorry. It's not a location.

[Khimbar2775]

washing your hands when talking to the girl that "gives" you the alexander materia?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

The crazy wind things in the Crater? The ones that make you fight enemies if you touch em.

[Rantz]

Sorry, no! Tell me if you want a hint.

Repost:

[Jiro]

Is it Tifa consoling Cloud in the Lifestream at Mideel?

[Rantz]

Nope! The answer is something tangible (in-game, of course).

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Kind of makes me think it's a materia for a summon... Bahamut ZERO?

[Hollycat]

the lab in the mountains

[Jiro]

I have a couple of ideas here, but I can only guess one of them.

Is it the Final Attack materia? The riddle is making me think that you don't have to fear death because you have auto life set up.

[Rantz]

None right, but Jiro is slowly getting closer.

[MrSchpagge]

First, a late congrats to Rantzein for solving the riddle, which turned out to be tougher than I thought it would.

As for the answer, I'm gonna say Ribbon.

[Rantz]

Thanks! It's not the Ribbon.

[Khimbar2775]

counter materia

[Rantz]

Nope.

[BG-57]

Neo Bahamut?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

An easier life with no fatal surprise
This might be referring to Cure, Regen, or an enemy ability.

No need to be scared of the stare in those eyes
This makes me think of an ability that would bring harm by eyes.... like Stare?

A cold place, a gold place, a glory untold place
the first part refers to the Great Clacier, the second part refers to the Gold Saucer, while the third part is puzzling for me.

A little bit goes far to prevent the worst case
A little bit of an item goes far to prevent either death, a game over, or other negative aliments.

[Rantz]

None right.


An easier life with no fatal surprise

This is not what the line is referring to, but...


No need to be scared of the stare in those eyes

A cold place, a gold place, a glory untold place
the first part refers to the Great Clacier, the second part refers to the Gold Saucer, while the third part is puzzling for me.

A little bit goes far to prevent the worst case
A little bit of an item goes far to prevent either death, a game over, or other negative aliments.

Most of this is pretty accurate. And yeah, as for the third part of the third line, I think I may have sacrificed a real clue for a rhyme :jess: A better clue might have been "a place of broken hopes" or something.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Broken hopes would be Corel.

[Karifean]

Safety Belt?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Kari, I think you've got it.

Prevents Sudden Death(line 1 and 4), Petrify(line 1 and 2), and Slow Numb(line 1 and 2).

[Jiro]

I thought for a moment it might be monsters who cast Death-Sentence or Petrify, but I did some research and it didn't really yield anything useful.

[Rantz]

It's called Safety Bit, but it is indeed correct!

An easier life with no fatal surprise - Makes you immune to Sudden Death
No need to be scared of the stare in those eyes - and to Petrify and Slow-Numb
A cold place, a gold place, a glory untold place - You can get one from Great Glacier, Gold Saucer and Rocket Town
A little bit goes far to prevent the worst case - A little "bit". :hahaha:

[Karifean]

Open round.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Jiro has a smilie named after him?!?!

[Hollycat]

I want a smilie.....

[Jiro]

I have :hahaha: and :jiro: (:ji</>ro:</>)!

A battle while the sky is falling
A floating combatant
Beware his propeller

Not a hard one, good luck :D

[Hollycat]

those soldiers with the propellers that if you use steal they fall, oyu fight them in sector.... 8? or 7? on the way up the support pillar to fight reno

[BG-57]

Heli Gunner?

[Jiro]

those soldiers with the propellers that if you use steal they fall, oyu fight them in sector.... 8? or 7? on the way up the support pillar to fight reno
You have the right enemy. They're called Aero Combatants.

Away we go.

[Hollycat]

ok....

breath of life
tower of lightning
waters of death
fortress of flight

all of these surround the keeper of the queen

[Karifean]

The WEAPONs?

[Hollycat]

nope. te4ll me if you need a hint

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Yuffie's limits?

[Hollycat]

nope. this is a physical part of the game, not any one event

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Phoenix
Ramuh
Leviathan
Bahamut... Or maybe Typhon? or Alexander? Probably Typhon to go with fire, lightning, water, and then air.

So, summons?

[Hollycat]

nope, just one thing

[Jiro]

Materia Keeper comes to mind for some reason.

[Hollycat]

nope

[Foo]

Its Junon. Or at least the part where you're climbing up the electrical tower to reach the helipad.


breath of life - you have to revive Priscilla after she is attacked
tower of lightning - The electrical tower
waters of death - the water around the tower
fortress of flight - at the top you reach the helipad / hanger where Highwind is

[Hollycat]

you are less than a n inch away from the answer to the the riddle as a whole.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

breath of life - Priscilla and saving her life
tower of lightning - that lightning tower
waters of death - the sea
fortress of flight - the helicopter

I'm going with Mr. Dolphin.

[Jiro]

If it's not Mr Dolphin or Junon then I haven't a goddamn clue.

[Hollycat]

mr. dolphin is within a cm!

[Melissaur]

The whistle?

[Hollycat]

nope

repost:
breath of life
tower of lightning
waters of death
fortress of flight

all of these surround the keeper of the queen[!] google_ad_section_end [/!]

you guys are forgetting the second part of the riddle!

[Melissaur]

Percillia! or however it's spelled

[Hollycat]

Pricilla, and that is correct, she is in junon (lines 1-4) and gives the party shiva (the queen)

[Melissaur]

WOO! Alright! Let me make a riddle right quick!

ALRIGHT! Riddle ready...

With newly stolen confidence
you must be quick to act
for you only have one chance
to see this striking character.

Pray you don't fall asleep,
and don't forget to speak up.
Missing out would be a grave mistake
and now we wouldn't want that.

[Kyros]

yuffie

[Hollycat]

i think they are right but I will go with vincent

[Melissaur]

No to both. When I say character it doesn't mean it has to be a playable one.

[Hollycat]

sephiroth

[Kyros]

dyne

[Melissaur]

Nope and Nope

[Hollycat]

that monster that steals your items

[Jiro]

Striking character makes me think of Scarlet and the bitch fight.

[Hollycat]

wait, is it when you play as cloud as a child and normal cloud goes to give sephiroth the black materia?

[Melissaur]

No to all so far

[Hollycat]

ummmm.....
it wouldnt happen to be tifas final weapon would it?

hint?

[Melissaur]

no It's not.

Hint: it's in the first disk

[Hollycat]

With newly stolen confidence- something to deal with steal, which is first gained right after you fight Apps under Don Corneos house
you must be quick to act- ok, so you have to be quick to see this
for you only have one chance- one chance, subway train?
to see this striking character.- .... hmm...

Pray you don't fall asleep,- still gotta be quick, perhaps if it is an enemy they can put you to sleep
and don't forget to speak up.- dont forget to do it, or they can cast silence
Missing out would be a grave mistake- ... hmm..
and now we wouldn't want that.

Is it the guy on the subway train who gives you something if you talk to him?

[Melissaur]

SO close. You're in the right area.

[Hollycat]

lets see, people in midgar.......

someone in honeybee inn? there are several striking scenes there

[-JJ-]

Is it the enemy in the train cemetery that you can steal Striking Staff from?
They cast sleep and silence, laser eye too if memory serves.

I can't remember the name of the them but they have a chariot.. and are undead.
Sorry if someone already said this.

[Melissaur]

Yes it is! Eligor.
You steal the Striking Staff from it with the new Steal materia. It casts sleep and silence,and he is only in the Train graveyard which you can't go back to after you leave.

[-JJ-]

Coolio ^.^

I'll give it a shot-

Strength, by one, unrealized
respect, not given, truth, unknown,
One was wrongly regarded.

And another will Find the answers, under dark skies.

Should be simple

[Hollycat]

cloud and zack

[-JJ-]

Nah, I see your point though

[Shaibana]

.. just tuned in..
Yr riddle totaly lost me

My guess is.. Aerith (dnt know rlly wy though haha!)

[-JJ-]

Nope :P

Hint: Character

[Melissaur]

Red XIII

[Carl the Llama]

Reeve/Cait Sith?

[Hollycat]

vincent and hojo

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I think it's Red and Seto, as well.

[-JJ-]

Yup, Seto & Red XIII
Seto was my intention, but I did kind of make it sound like Seto & Red's story, sorree

^.^

Chocoboy, you're up

[Shaibana]

Lol JJ, now it all makes sence ^^
But really.. thats certainly not something ill come up with D:

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I am broken, maybe forgotten.
Please don't let me vanish forever.
You may redeem yourself in my eyes,
Be the knight, the fated savior.

A fairly easy one.

[Hollycat]

mini midgar

[Melissaur]

Lucrecia?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Neither of those, sorry.

[Shaibana]

... ya im clueless.. so im gonna say Earith again

[Hollycat]

rocket

[Melissaur]

Young Cloud?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

None of those three.

[Melissaur]

Zack?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Not Zack.

Hint: Nothing living.

[Melissaur]

The crashed Gelinka

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Is it that broken machine in one of the shops at Midgar's sector 6 Wall Market?

[Hollycat]

is it something dead?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Neither of the three. Although, I guess it could be said that it almost died HC.

[Hollycat]

midgar

[Shaibana]

Shinra inc.?

[Melissaur]

The pink plane you get after you get Cid? I can't remember the name

[Khimbar2775]

the ancient key

[Hollycat]

The pink plane you get after you get Cid? I can't remember the name

tiny bronco

[Melissaur]

Yes that.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

None of those three, either. Tiny Bronco, btw, Melissaur.

[MrSchpagge]

Cait Sith?

Not sure about this one, but figured I'd try.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Not Cait Sith.

Repost:
I am broken, maybe forgotten.
Please don't let me vanish forever.
You may redeem yourself in my eyes,
Be the knight, the fated savior.

Hints: It is not alive, but it could be said to have almost died.
It is mentioned in Disk One, but made in Disk Two.

[Melissaur]

The Journey to the Northern Cave? It's a long shot.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Nope, not the journey to Northern Cave. Young Cloud has been the closest guess so far.

[Melissaur]

Great... Um the date you go on in the flash back?

[MrSchpagge]

Cloud's promise to Tifa to save her if she's ever in trouble?

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Closer.

Edit: Schpagge posted same time as me, so I didn't see it, but he's got it.

[MrSchpagge]

Woot!

I've gotta give some credit to The Fresh Prince though; if he didn't bring up the flashback I wouldn't have got it.

Riddle time:

Sometimes the meek can triumph where the brave cannot,
And signs of weakness will bolster one's strength.
Sometimes you've got to run away to face your problems.

[Melissaur]

AWWW SO CLOSE!

He? xD

[Khimbar2775]

sounds like the mental breakdown that tifa helps cloud with in the lifestream town of mideel

[MrSchpagge]

AWWW SO CLOSE!

He? xD

Ha, just assumed it was a dude behind the name. No offense.

[Jiro]

Is it hitting Escape to flip around when Ambushed?

[Shaibana]

Jeez... :S i suck at this

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Sometimes the meek can triumph where the brave cannot,
I'm thinking a lower level trumps a higher level where the answer is concerned.

And signs of weakness will bolster one's strength.
Elemental and status weaknesses help the player win the battle.

Sometimes you've got to run away to face your problems.
Running when faced with a back attack will let you face your opponent. Doesn't work for being surrounded.

I am going to guess a back attack where the enemy has a weakness of some element or status, and that enemy is of a higher level then you.

Just throwing it out there.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Shinwa, if you're right, then we really need to think of better riddles, because they are just getting more and more obscure and specific by the moment. Eventually we're going to be guessing at a single pixel in the game. >.>

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Yeah, I don't mind if we have to deal with Thingfish riddles again - at least his are a challenge, especially for those involved with solving that one FF9 riddle which was so difficult it required it's own thread.

Or BG riddles, they are somewhat easier then Thingfish's but still complicated.

I am a bit surprised that we can't incorporate the other games of the FF7 compilation. That would expand the horizon for those creating the riddles.

[BG-57]

Hopefully I give enough hints that its not impossible. :greenie:

My view on riddles beyond FFVII itself is, if they were to be included, they should be explicitly mentioned by game because not everyone has played the spin off games (like yours truly).

[Hollycat]

its because few finish CC and very few play DOC

[MrSchpagge]

Sir Cloud has part of it, but not the answer.

[Hollycat]

when you are ambushed you can press run away and let go and then you are facing your enemy and wont take as much damage and battle is like normal and stuff.

[Jiro]

That's what I said :jess:

Is it the Temple of the Ancients where using your original equip is actually stronger than other equipment? I have a feeling it relates to that, what with all the meek triumphing over might.

[MrSchpagge]

Nothing to do with the Temple.

Sir Cloud figured out the third line, but that was just one part.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

That's what I said :jess:

Is it the Temple of the Ancients where using your original equip is actually stronger than other equipment? I have a feeling it relates to that, what with all the meek triumphing over might.

Truly? I can't recall, that and I haven't play the game in a while.

[BG-57]

There's a temple in FFIX where that happens, but I've never tried initial weapons in the Temple of the Ancients.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

There's a temple in FFIX where that happens, but I've never tried initial weapons in the Temple of the Ancients.

Ah, seems I'll have to try it myself. Yes, it does happen in Ipsen Castle in FF9.

[Jiro]

I'm probably just thinking of Ipsen's Castle xD The riddle has me stumped though!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

It has stumped my as well.... perhaps we can get a hint?

[Carl the Llama]

[TR][TD]The Boss fight at the end of Midgar.

Sometimes the meek can triumph where the brave cannot,

The Meek will triumph because Cloud will steer clear of the people attacking him on the bike race leading up to the boss fight.

And signs of weakness will bolster one's strength.

Back attack running away?

Sometimes you've got to run away to face your problems.

Before you can fight the boss you have to run away from the Shin-Ra.

[Jiro]

If you put your party all in the back row then they start in the front for that battle. The sign of weakness is hiding in the backline, but it actually makes you stronger.

I think you have it KD.

[MrSchpagge]

Sir Cloud almost had it with the first guess.

Each line is a different example of the same thing.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

A back attack in general?

[MrSchpagge]

In the interest of keeping the thread going, I'm going to retire this riddle.

I'll pass the torch to Sir Cloud for coming closest to the correct answer.

[Jiro]

I want to know what the answer is first! Someone else should take this turn too, my attendance might be unpredictable ;)

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Hmm, I think I'll pass on the riddle making - unless someone wants me to create one....

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Come on, let's get another started.

[Melissaur]

Ok ill grab this one! Let me think of one.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Okay, Mel Air, it's alright with me if you make a riddle.

[Khimbar2775]

bump

[BG-57]

Am I stingy?
You decide
I do improve
With age, maybe

[AngelWings8]

A chocobo? Stingy until you raise/feed/race them more?

[BG-57]

It's not related to chocobos.

[Jiro]

It makes me think of materia growth. Thinking about Steal Materia because of the word stingy, not much else to go off.

[BG-57]

It's not related to materia.

Nope.

[AngelWings8]

...can I vote again?

Battle Arena at Gold Saucer? Less BP during the first few rounds until you reach the end?

[BG-57]

Sure, as long as its one guess at a time. :)

Its not related to the Battle Arena.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

BG... You and Rantz need to be banned from riddle making.

I'm gonna guess the sleeping man who gives you Mithril?

[BG-57]

Thanks, I guess. :p

It's not the sleeping man.

[Caboose]

Poison Status?

[BG-57]

Not poison.

[AngelWings8]

...Barret...?

[Melissaur]

Is it a Character?

[BG-57]

No and no.

[Shaibana]

Clouds haircut? xD haha

[BG-57]

It's not directly related to the characters either.

[Shaibana]

jeez this is hard...
Is it a place? Cosmo canyon?

[BG-57]

It's not Cosmo Canyon.

I generally give hints on request.

[AngelWings8]

HINT PUH-LEASE :kaobeg:

I'll take another guess: Nibelheim?

[Shaibana]

ya hint pls :P

Is it Midgar?
i bet its not a place right? xD

ya hint pls :P

Is it Midgar?

Not Midgar either.

Your insight serves you well. It's not a place.

[AngelWings8]

...I'm stumped. Is it a Tonberry?

[BG-57]

Getting warmer.

[Melissaur]

Master Tonberry?

[BG-57]

No.

[AngelWings8]

...a bomb?

[BG-57]

Heh. :greenie:

It's not a bomb.

[AngelWings8]

Tonberry's Everyone's Grudge?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

I'm going to guess the Armored Golem, can't explain why - might be the age thing though.

I do understand that the answer is somehow linked to the crater.

[BG-57]

Tonberry's Everyone's Grudge?

It's not an attack.

Not Armored Golem.

[Shaibana]

is it that little wizzard @ the temple? (where u can save game)
Is it a monster?

haha googled Tonberry, and i just had to post this one :D

[BG-57]

Nope.

[AngelWings8]

Malboro?

Am I mistaken when I said it was connected to the crater somehow? Or would answering that be too revealing?

In any case, I'm going to guess.....

Dark Dragon?

Hm, maybe a hint about the crater?

[BG-57]

Dark Dragon?

Not Dark Dragon


Hm, maybe a hint about the crater?

It's not found in the Crater.

[Shaibana]

jeez this is hard..
Is it that Swining knife-monster @ the mansion?
the one that swings like an old clock?

[BG-57]

You mean the Ghirofelgo? No.

[Shaibana]

how the fuck do you people know ALL monsters names? :o
and yes, that was the one i ment ^^

[BG-57]

Strategy Guide. ;)

[Khimbar2775]

sounds like a materia to me. the command materia that allows throw and coin?

[BG-57]

No, it's a monster.

[Rantz]

The Grangalan enemies? The smallest ones are called Grangalan Jr. Jr. and drops the least gil, the middle ones only have one Jr. in their name and drops a bit more, while the big one is simply Grangalan and drops the most. So while they don't drop a lot of gil, the "older" ones drop more.

Or one could reason another way and say that if you kill the Grangalan before it reproduces it doesn't give a whole lot, but if you let it reproduce and then kill the offspring, you'll get a good deal more. That way it "improves with age" too, in a way.

[Karifean]

Trickplay?

Good guess but no.

Nope.

Unlikely I know but... Sephiroth in his final form, one might consider him stingy as the final battle you get no EXP from him but you do get to see the ending, the do I improve with age, maybe could be a reference to the level of your party, if you level to 99 his strength is increased, but only if you are level 99.

[BG-57]

It's not Sephiroth in any of his forms.

The lines are refering to the external meanings of the monster's name, not in-game.

[AngelWings8]

Hmmm...I keep trying to think of a monster that mimes you or your level or abilities or something, but can't think of any. So my guess is: Behemoth

[BG-57]

Not Behemoth.

[TwilightLord]

Resurrection!

Reading through all the hints for this riddle, I'm wondering if it might be some kind of mythological reference. Like one of the names of the enemies might be a mangled reference to some mythological character who fits the description posted in the riddle. Midgar Zolom, for instance, is a mangling of Midgarðsormr from Norse mythology - I know Midgar Zolom has already been guessed, but I'm wondering if there are any other enemies whose names are mistranslations of mythological names. Am I on the right track?

[BG-57]

Welcome aboard!

It's not from mythology, but you have the right idea. Lines 1 & 2 refer to the origin of a particular product with this name, while lines 3 & 4 refer to something else with the same name that's consumable.

Repost:
Am I stingy?
You decide
I do improve
With age, maybe

[APolaris]

The rather questionable answer is "Hedgehog Pie." How a hedgehog is "stingy" is beyond me, but "pie" is the only consumable item that appears as the second word of a monster's name. Pies don't generally improve with age - actually, they tend to go bad - but the number "pi" does become more accurate as you use more decimal places. Alternately, as the concept has grown older, we've found more accurate decimal places for it.

[TwilightLord]

Ahh, of course, that makes sense. And hedgehogs are stingy because they have spines. Spines that sting you. Therefore they're stingy.

I'd say you got it, congratulations.

[BG-57]

It's not Hedgehog Pie, but you're close.

Think drinks.

[TwilightLord]

Well, wine improves with age, but I can't find any monsters with names that relate to wine... or any other alcoholic drinks (or drinks at all), for that matter. Or maybe there's some kind of brand that I'm not familiar with that's referenced in one of their names.

Edit: The only answer I could think of is Scotch. Scotch isn't a monster, but his name is also a type of whisky (which does improve with age), and also a name for someone from Scotland, and the Scottish have a reputation for being stingy.

[BG-57]

Scotch is correct! Your go. :D

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Scotch? I can not recall where it is nor weather it is a person or an item.....

[BG-57]

An enemy in Don Corneo's House.

[TwilightLord]

Alright! Here's my riddle. It's my first attempt, so go easy on me.

I have no heart,
But I am far from heartless.

I have less than most,
But I can do more with less.

I can be killed,
But I can never die.

If used right, I can unleash ultimate power,
But who I unleash it on is a different story.

So use me wisely,
Unless you wish to take the risk.

Who am I?

By the way, if you give an answer, I want the reason why you gave that answer. If you give an answer and no reason, I will just ask you why you think your answer is right. Unless you can give me a satisfactory reason, I won't say whether you're right or not. This way I know you're not just randomly guessing and getting lucky.

[Melissaur]

Nevermind my last guess. I'd like to say Cait Sith

He a "robot" so of course he doesn't have a heart, but he does sacrifice himself for the party so he is caring
again a robot doesn't really have anything
He "died" when the temple imploded in on him but came back later as a second Cait Sith
He has a limit that can cause instant death on the enemy
But he also has the instant party killer limit!

[TwilightLord]

You got it, the answer was indeed Cait Sith.

"I have no heart,
But I am far from heartless"
As you said, he's artificial so he doesn't have a literal heart, but he is caring so he isn't heartless.

"I have less than most,
But I can do more with less"
This refers to the fact that Cait Sith only has two Limit Breaks, whereas all the others have seven (except Vincent, who has four). However, Cait Sith's Limit Breaks are more versatile, and can have more results, so he can do more with less.

"I can be killed,
But I can never die."
As you said, since he's artificial, even if he "dies" another one can just be made.

"If used right, I can unleash ultimate power,
But who I unleash it on is a different story."
Again, as you said, this refers to two results of his Slots Limit Break, Game Over (instant death to all enemies) and Death Joker (instant death to all allies).

"So use me wisely,
Unless you wish to take the risk."
"Risk" is another word for "gamble", and Cait Sith's Limit Breaks are based on gambling.

"Who am I?"

The answer is Cait Sith.

Very good. Your turn!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

An enemy in Don Corneo's House. Ah, okay.

[Melissaur]

I didn't even think of a riddle xD Thinking of one now. Will be posted in a few.

[Melissaur]

I'm cute, I'm tiny, why don't you come play.
There is nothing to be afraid.
With one touch I can bring you down to my size,
and if magic is your wish, why don't you just take a nap?

[Karifean]

The frogs in the Gongaga Forest?
(If correct, open round)

[Melissaur]

Curses! You are correct. It was too easy. I should have thought about it more ^__^

[TwilightLord]

Since it's an open round, is it okay if I take it again? I actually had a few riddles planned out beforehand XD

Here's my second riddle.

Beyond the door that no key can open,
The rejected one lies in wait.
Two faces has he,
One of power and one of wisdom.
Yet if you possess the courage to face him,
He may show the way to a great secret.
Can you tell me of whom I speak?

Again, I want a reason for your guess.

[Karifean]

Lost Number?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

It seems to be the Lost Number. Here's why:

Beyond the door that no key can open,
It is within the safe in the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim, and a safe has a door which no key can open (at least not all safes have a key or a keyhole).

The rejected one lies in wait.
It is largely implied that the Lost Number is a rejected experiment.

Two faces has he,
A creature with two faces, or more correctly, two different sides.

One of power and one of wisdom.
Power refers to physical attacks while wisdom refers to magical attacks. (This analogy I agree with.)

Yet if you possess the courage to face him,
It is an optional side Boss you can fight.

He may show the way to a great secret.
The great secret that is referred to here is likely to be Vincent.

Can you tell me of whom I speak?
Lost Number.

PS: Forgot to mention that by 'show the way' in the second to last line, it refers to the key for unlocking the door to the room (or is it the hidden door to the basement, can't recall) that let's you get Vincent.

[TwilightLord]

I'm giving it to Shinwa Tsuki, since she gave a reason. I did say I wouldn't accept it without a reason, so no complaining, Karifean.

Anyway, your reasoning was spot on. Well done!

[Karifean]

Meh. I'm too lazy to explain my reasonings, besides the fact that usually they're pretty obvious (unless it's a riddle by BG-57). But it would've been an open round again anyway, so whatever.

[Jiro]

TwilightLord is returning us to the golden age of riddling where if you don't give justification then you don't get a guess :p Tough love, it seems!

[TwilightLord]

XD I like to know that people are actually thinking their answers through rather than just guessing randomly.

[Jiro]

It's easier for you to give a clue if you know people's reasoning!

[Shaibana]

i wouldve said Lost Number to ^^

[Hollycat]

how many times is it now that the answer has been lost number?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Haha, odd how one should make it clear their reasoning when it is desired by the riddler.

Here's my riddle - which is centered for no reason:


Motion sickness,
Unreasonable rage,
Both are cured by this.

I can't see a thing,
Someone turned the light off,
Restore me with this.

All I ask is for some quite,
Wear this and pipe down.
What is this?

Your lips on my skin,
That is all I need...
Please change me back!

The sand wights my eyes,
It is time for bed.
This dust? What is it?


This is all I'm going to write for this riddle. Take note, these stanza's are for different things. I would like the collective answer, and the individual answers. As, much I would like to have the guessers reasoning, I won't bark though.

[Hollycat]

tranquilizer
eye drops
curse ring
maidens kiss / you have been toaded
um........ mute mask?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Hypo, you've got three out of the five correct - int the order that you've listed, you also have one more correct but the wrong stanza.

[Hollycat]

tranq
eye drops
mute mask
maidens kiss
dream powder

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Yup. That's it.

I don't like to judge how easy a riddle may be, after all it might be pretty easy or rather difficult.

[Hollycat]

I am a box without key or hinge, yet inside two treasures are hid.

You only have to give a reason if you r the twilightlord
