Final Fantasy VIII Riddles again

[Rantz]

Nope.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

The Brothers GF?

[Rantz]

Nay.

[CloudDragon]

Lunatic Pandora? Or rather, the lunar cry?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Lunatic Pandora? Or rather, the lunar cry?

I was thinking that too- but I just did that as a riddle, so I am not sure that is what was meant...


Centra ruins?

[Rantz]

None of the above.

[CloudDragon]

Ragnarok?

[Rantz]

Not the Ragnarok. The answer is something combat-related.

[Gamblet]

Eden?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[CloudDragon]

Irvine's limit? Using super-powerful bullets? Once you pop you can't stop?

Or is it a GF? Hintplz!?

[Rantz]

No to all of those.

The first line is referring to a process, or pattern, or however you want to put it, that once you set off you can't cancel.

[Karifean]

Doomtrain?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Odin.

[Rantz]

No, but I'd say that's the closest guess so far. And no, not Gilgamesh either. ;)

[Karifean]

Killing many Tonberries to spawn Tonberry King?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Killing many Tonberries to spawn Tonberry King?

That or Toneberry King himself. I was trying to think of Toneberry King's attacks and don't really remember if he had a special one.

[Rantz]

Nothing to do with Tonberries or Tonberry King.

Hint: "god out of the machine" is the literal translation of "deus ex machina".

[Karifean]

the process of killing all the propagators?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[Gamblet]

Phoenix?

[Rantz]

Correct!

Once you pop, you can't stop
Once you've used the Phoenix Pinion and summoned Phoenix, there's no way to make him stop coming (not that you'd want to).

Runed earth commands the prismatic god
When summoned, an insignia of sorts is burned into the earth, and Phoenix springs out - and he is rather prismatic (http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/a/ab/FFVIII-Phoenix.jpg).

Out of the proverbial machine
Again, "deus ex machina" literally means "god out of the machine", and Phoenix does function like a sort of deus ex machina translated to gameplay mechanics.

[Sum1sGruj]

Even though one of the hints said it was combat related, I simply could not get the idea of the Garden and Master NORG out of my head. As in, runed Earth and the machine/prismatic god (but I guess his orb thingys aren't really prismatic now that I think about it).

Oh well :|

[Gamblet]

Once a lake, now a cemetery.
Filled with reptiles who are dead.
Watch your back, a beast is near,
Heal it and you will win.

[Sum1sGruj]

Once a lake, now a cemetery.
Filled with reptiles who are dead.
Watch your back, a beast is near,
Heal it and you will win.

The Salt Flats :D

[Gamblet]

Once a lake, now a cemetery.
Filled with reptiles who are dead.
Watch your back, a beast is near,
Heal it and you will win.

The Salt Flats :D

Great Salt Lake, but nevermind. You're up!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Ohh, I wonder if I can take a chance....?

[Gamblet]

YES, YES YOU CAN!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Toy of childhood.
Handmaidens of Woden.
Dawn of day and Japan's epithet.
Pope clothed in avian red.
Stellar wishes or showers.

[Jiro]

I have very little reasoning but is this related to the Lunar Cry?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Nope.

Four more guesses, and I'll give a hint.

[Jiro]

Do each of the lines refer to a separate item, person, etc? Or are they all clues pointing to a single answer?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Each line is linked, but answer one line at a time as each is separate.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Here's a hint: This is linked to a character.

[Jiro]

Rinoa's weapons.

First line refers to the Pinwheel, a children's toy.
Second is the Valkyrie who could easily be seen as "handmaidens".
Third is Rising Sun, obviously with a strong relationship to Japan and the dawn of day.
Fourth is the Cardinal, who is a red robed pope.
Fifth is the Shooting Star, which you can wish upon.

The last one was the biggest hint, somehow.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

I know that the last hint was going to get it in motion.

It's your turn Jiro. Your reason are nearly spot on, I was thinking more along the lines of: the Shooting Star is also called either Wish Star or Wishing Star in Japanese (if I'm not mistaken); A cardinal is both a bird and a pope; Woden, or Odin, could be seen as the Valkyrie's master.

[Jiro]

I knew your justification would be a little more crisp than mine, I was just glad to catch a shred of the same wavelength!

Gateway to the beginning and gateway to the end
Where the seeds were planted, took root and blossomed
The place where I'll return to someday

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Oh boy, I have a good hunch what the answer it.... Let's see if someone else can answer the riddle.

[Gamblet]

Orphanage?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

That's what I'm thinking as was, only it's the flower field at Edea's Orphanage.

[Jiro]

Edea's Orphanage is what I was going for, though I heavily referenced the flower field as Shinwa Tsuki obviously realised.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Jiro, who gets the riddle making turn?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Jiro?

[Gamblet]

You dead, man? :eek:

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Should I take the riddle making, Gamblet?

[Jiro]

I don't mind who takes it, honestly! Sorry I couldn't respond, I was in Canada. Shit is weird in Canada.

[Gamblet]

Okay, I'll take it.

An important trademark,
a gift to a girl.
Ultimate power,
drawn from one's mind.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Griever

'An important trademark' - Griever is Squall's animal trademark (and one of Square's).
'A gift to a girl' - relates to Squall giving Rinoa his Griever ring (even though the pass 'relay' was from Squall to Zell to Rinoa) as a gift.
'Ultimate power' - refers to Squall considering Griever to be a GF of 'ultimate power'.
'Drawn from one's mind' - Ultimecia draws Griever from Squall's mind.

[Gamblet]

Exactly! I don't know how to make hard riddles, but I tried my best. :tongue:

Your turn.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Gamblet, don't worry bro- the hard ones are not better, in fact most of the time I think they are worse.

Good riddles are clear in their meaning & intent and either with a mild twist or humorous answer.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Heehee, let's see....

I am not the holy by any means,
Yet a trinity I give if you use me.
How you attain me is up to you,
The guardian of hell uses me.

[Gamblet]

"I am not the holy by any means," - That is unclear to me. Maybe useless? :D
"Yet a trinity I give if you use me." - Triple magic.
"How you attain me is up to you,
The guardian of hell uses me." - Related to Cerberus.

So my guess is the Triple spell.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Yep, also....
"I am not the holy by any means" - this line and the next one refers to the "Holy Trinity", although I should not have used 'the' in this line.
"How you attain me is up to you" - this refers to the fact that you can refine, draw, or use Cerberus.

[Gamblet]

Ok, my turn now.

I can fly,
I can crash.
If you help me,
I help you.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Hm... Doomtrain?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

pupu & his flying saucer?

[Gamblet]

pupu & his flying saucer?

You got that right! Your turn.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

pupu & his flying saucer?

You got that right! Your turn.


that was quick. By the way, your riddle construction was good.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

An ancient past time
[breaking the 4th wall]
"form like voltron
to take on all."

Equip-able to any
for the player to assign,
uplifting the spirit,
time for the team to shine.

Amongst teen angst,
held while booked
the 3rd most popular in trios
important but overlooked.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

A GF? Is there a reason for the second line to be like that?

[Gamblet]

Doomtrain?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

It is not Doomtrain.

The 2nd line is supposed to be like that, its me saying that the first line can be read like the 4th wall is broken. Wasn't sure how else to make that clear- hahaha.

[Gamblet]

Some kind of support magic spell?

[Jiro]

Definitely giving me a GF vibe. I want to say Diablos but I have very little reasoning for it.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

'voltron' - something that transforms its shape?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

It is not diablo.

You guys are looking for clues too early! After a few more explicit guesses I can answer those questions you have.

I will say doing a line by line picking apart of words is not helpful, this is a big picture riddle.

[Rantz]

Sounds like Quezacotl to me.

[Gamblet]

Sounds like Quezacotl to me.

I thought about same thing.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Not Quezacotl.

hint 1: it is not a GF.
hint 2: it is not something that transforms, the voltron line might be throwing people off- you can ignore it and still get the answer.

[Gamblet]

Holy?

----------
Thunderaga?

I wonder what 'while booked' mean?

[Gamblet]

I wonder what 'while booked' mean?

"held while booked" may mean that the object in the inventory is reserved for something but you don't use it.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

I wonder what 'while booked' mean?

"held while booked" may mean that the object in the inventory is reserved for something but you don't use it.

Not Holy or Thunderaga. You guys are out clevering me.

Booked is an industry term, and also is used in the correct way, (although it might not be definition 1 in some dictionaries).

Hint 2: Instead of trying to guess an object/spell it will help if you think about the generic clues to pinpoint what I am referring to in the game,

An ancient past time [breaking the 4th wall]
uplifting the spirit, time for the team to shine.
Amongst teen angst held while booked.


(that voltron ignore wasn't much of a hint, you guys might be to young to get that clue)
*I apologize- I thought this would be easier than it is.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

That's okay, I had a FF9 riddle that was just as confusing.

Would 'ancient past time' refer to the time of ancient Egypt, or somewhere in the medieval times? Anyway, I'm guessing that the 'ancient past time' refers to something along the lines of a game of the ancients.

Could 'booked' mean 'engaged'?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Could 'booked' mean 'engaged'?

An Ancient past time, in real life (and presumably in the game). That is why I said breaking the 4th wall.

Engaged is a synonym although its parallel usage for this specific situation would be awkward in english.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Oh.... some possible ancient past time could be gardening, music, fishing... maybe I'm missing some.....

This is not a guess, merely thinking aloud.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Shinwa is on the right track!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

When Selphie and the others perform music for Squall in congratulations on being promoted to Commander of B. Garden, and when Rinoa talks to Squall....

[Dr. rydrum2112]

When Selphie and the others perform music for Squall in congratulations on being promoted to Commander of B. Garden, and when Rinoa talks to Squall....

you have nailed the event & setting

[Shinwa Tsuki]

It took me a bit...

Could you explain the "voltron" thing? (And perhaps, the rest of the riddle...)

Give me a bit to figure out my riddle.

Edit: My riddle:
My partner and I,
Bicker a lot.
I'm the one in blue,
Can you guess my name?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Technically I was looking for the "bass guitar".

An ancient past time
[breaking the 4th wall]- just describes music
"form like voltron
to take on all." - rap lyric from 90s and your party forms a band

Equip-able to any
for the player to assign, - you can assign which instruments
uplifting the spirit,
time for the team to shine.- trying to cheer squall up.

Amongst teen angst, - remember he runs off
held while booked- you hold the guitar during a concert (which is booked)
the 3rd most popular in trios
important but overlooked. - this describes the "bass" as a trio in rock is guitar drums bass.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Ah, okay.... It's still my turn, right?

[Gamblet]

My partner and I,
Bicker a lot.
I'm the one in blue,
Can you guess my name?

Rinoa?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Nope. She does where blue, yet she's not one of the partners in this riddle.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

I think I know- but I don't want to monopolize, so I will just say:

recurring character in FFs?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Yes, which one?

[Karifean]

Wedge?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Yep, it's Wedge.

[Karifean]

Open round.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Here is mine.

Done with the painting...
What the...?
I didn't put that there!

Who is the speaker?

[Gamblet]

I think I am right when I guess the guy in Dollet whose grandchild ruined his painting every time he painted a bone on it.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Yep, that's it.

[Gamblet]

I am depressed,
I block the way,
give me the drink or give back that card,
either way you will go far.

[Karifean]

The drunk guy in the pub in Timber who blocks the door.

[Gamblet]

Indeed. GO GO!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Ahaha, that answer came to my mind as soon as I read that riddle Gamblet.

[Gamblet]

Yeah, that was an easy one. ;)

[Karifean]

someone else can take it.

[Gamblet]

This thread has been taking a small break, I see... I guess I'll create a riddle.

I can't stop moving,
I run away fast.
Big brother is out there,
wearing a stache.

[Tigmafuzz]

This thread has been taking a small break, I see... I guess I'll create a riddle.

I can't stop moving,
I run away fast.
Big brother is out there,
wearing a stache.

'Tis a cactuar?

[Gamblet]

Yeah, your turn.

[Tigmafuzz]

Crap. I suck at making riddles. Open turn >.<

[Hambone]

I got this!

Shrouded deep in the forest,
I am guarded by my elders.
Whether left or right,
my strength is the same.

[Rantz]

Chicobo card!

[Gamblet]

I have no idea.

Is the forest literal or no? I remember no bosses in forests.

Is it a boss?

[Hambone]

Rantz, you're right! :D

[Rantz]

The armoured steed
Hard to get around the fact
It hurts more than helps

[Hambone]

I'll throw out the most obvious to me: is it Sleipner, Odin's horse?

[Rantz]

Nope!

[DarkBahamut]

Random guess, but Rajin?

[Rantz]

Not Raijin.

The answer has a primary purpose and what the last line is saying is that, for the most part, it goes against this purpose rather than fulfills it.

[Gamblet]

Gilgamesh?

[Rantz]

Nope.

[DarkBahamut]

Could it be [related to] Squall saving Rinoa from when Esthar or the Sorceress Memorial has her?

[Shorty]

BGH251F2?

[Rantz]

No, but that's (BGH251F2) getting a bit closer. Sorry, DarkBahamut, I managed to miss that post somehow D:

[Jiro]

X-ATM092? I'm really drawing a blank.

[Rantz]

Nope. This riddle seems worse every time I look at it. D:

Hint: the answer is an unnamed thing, but it's something you see many times in the game. It's significant because it hinders you in a fashion, which is ironic because it's purpose is to help in that same aspect.

[Jiro]

Is it a physical object, or something abstract?

[Rantz]

Physical fo sho.

[Jiro]

Armoured steed makes me think of a vehicle. It's not the train system, is it?

[Rantz]

Nope, but certainly getting closer. Especially with that first comment. ;)

[maybee]

The Ragnarok ?

[Rantz]

Nope!

[Gamblet]

the answer is an unnamed thing

That, fellas, is the answer.

[Jiro]

It's not Balamb Garden? It hinders because it like, gets stuck in autopilot and then crashes into shit etc etc etc.

[Gamblet]

RENTAL CAR!!!!! It consumes fuel, which costs money, and it costs a lot when you first see the option to rent it and it is not that helpful too.

EDIT: Armored steed might mean that monsters can't attack you while in a car.
And the car is nameless.

[Rantz]

Close, but no cigar.

[Jiro]

I love your enthusiasm Gamblet! xD

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Can someone repost the riddle with all the hints, please?

[Dr. rydrum2112]

The train

[Shorty]

ugh fuck I just want to see the answer xD

[Rantz]

The armoured steed
Hard to get around the fact
It hurts more than helps

Past guesses: Sleipnir (Odin's horse), Raijin, Gilgamesh, Squall saving Rinoa, BGH251F2, X-ATM092, Train(s), Ragnarok, Balamb Garden, Rental cars

Hints:

the busses?

[Shorty]

what the fuck was that transportation thing in esthar

is it that

[Shinwa Tsuki]

the rental car was guessed by Gamblet.... I'm going to guess the Souvenir's map of Timber. I have to ask is the answer is something you see or something you ride (a vehicle can be seen or ridden).

[Rantz]

the busses?
Nope.

Nope!

Not the souvenir shop's map. The answer is something you can see and something you can ride but not something you can drive (as far as I recall, hope I'm not wrong!)

[Shorty]

APC (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Road_Transportation_(Final_Fantasy_VIII)#Cars)

armored personnel car

[Rantz]

Winner! :party:

Cars are meant to aid transportation, right? Well these fuckers apparently break down at every bridge and every mountain pass and half the streets in the damn city, blocking your way at every turn :colbert:

Alright, sorry about that one. I'll make an easy one next time. >.>

[Shorty]

god babe you are the worst

[Gamblet]

APC (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Road_Transportation_(Final_Fantasy_VIII)#Cars)

armored personnel car

The missile base one? If that's so I wanted to guess that, but then I thought about rental car. :D

[Dr. rydrum2112]

i had actually guessed it- but I thought it was a car so I went back and edited to my "busses" guess.

[Shorty]

the red one
looking for the blue one
taken by the black one

[Shinwa Tsuki]

How literal is the riddle, Shorty?

[Shorty]

Explaining the riddle before any guesses would kindof ruin the riddle, wouldn't it!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Fair point, Shorty.

The red one, Adel, could be looking for the blue one, Ellone, who was taken (or protected) by the black one, Edea.... My guess is the Sorceress.

[Citizen Bleys]

Triple triad cards -- they're red and blue and get taken by a protagonist who is all in black.

[maybee]

the red one
looking for the blue one
taken by the black one

Okay so the red one = Ultimeca
Looking for the blue one = Ellone, or Rinoa
Taken by the black one = Edea

So the answer is Ultimeca ?

[Shorty]

Great guesses by all, but no correct answers so far.

Bleys, you are obsessed.

[Citizen Bleys]

Bleys, you are obsessed.

Reach.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Is the answer related to Sorceresses in any fashion?

[Iceglow]

Ifrit and Shiva, who was already owned by Squall.

[Shorty]

No and no, the answer is not related to the sorceress in any fashion.

[maybee]

Headmaster Cid ?

Cid has a red coat.... :/

[Shinwa Tsuki]

the red one
This could refer to anger, someone wearing red. Or an enemy.

looking for the blue one
This could refer to sadness, someone wearing blue. Or an allie.

taken by the black one
This could refer to Squall, or someone who wears black.

Overall, this could relate to Galbadia Garden (red) searching for Balamb Garden (blue), B. Garden is now commanded by Squall (black.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Biggs or Wedge (forget which is red)?

I remember them being Red & Blue though.

[Shorty]

No and no. Shinwa Tsuki is on the right track, though.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Black is very likely Squall, Red and Blue however are likely symbolic of something...... . Hm...

[maybee]

Adel looking for Ellone and taken back by Squall ?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Not sure if that's the answer mister maybee, it seems that the answer has nothing to do with sorceresses.

[Shorty]

Nice try, maybee, but Shinwa is correct - has nothing to do with the sorceresses.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Nice try, maybee, but Shinwa is correct - has nothing to do with the sorceresses.


a Moomba

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Hm...

Does the red refer to Julia?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Shorty?

[Shorty]

It certainly does, yes.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Edit: This post is a refresher, not a guess.

the red one
looking for the blue one
taken by the black one

Hints:
Has nothing to do with sorceresses.
The "red one" refers to Julia.

Guess on the right track:

the red one
This could refer to anger, someone wearing red. Or an enemy.

looking for the blue one
This could refer to sadness, someone wearing blue. Or an ally.

taken by the black one
This could refer to Squall, or someone who wears black.

Overall, this could relate to Galbadia Garden (red) searching for Balamb Garden (blue), B. Garden is now commanded by Squall (black.

[Shorty]

Nice, creative guesses! They are wrong, though.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Ah! I'm sorry, that was more a refresher then a guess. I'll go adjust my previous post.

I'm guessing that Julia (red) is looking for Laguna (blue) and is taken by Fury Caraway (black).

[Shorty]

Correct! :love:

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Wo~w! That was interesting.

Free floor.

[Shorty]

after all that? xD

[Shinwa Tsuki]

I can't think of anything, that's way it's a free floor.

Maybe after three days, and nobody makes a riddle I might create one. Just not right now.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

I can't think of anything, that's way it's a free floor.

Maybe after three days, and nobody makes a riddle I might create one. Just not right now.

just do it! it is your right.

[Jiro]

That was a great riddle Shorty, nicely done. I'm going to snatch up this open floor, give me a moment...

Where the sun shines the brightest
And the lines have gone silent
There I sit, peacefully
Calm like a gentle stream

Let's try that one for now. Shouldn't be too hard!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Thanks, Jiro, for taking the floor.

Hm... . Nothing comes to mind, at the moment, for your riddle Jiro.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

That was a great riddle Shorty, nicely done. I'm going to snatch up this open floor, give me a moment...

Where the sun shines the brightest
And the lines have gone silent
There I sit, peacefully
Calm like a gentle stream

Let's try that one for now. Shouldn't be too hard!

the mayor of fisherman's horizon?

[Jiro]

Not Mayor Dobe, no. You're thinking on the right track. The last line will provide the biggest clue from here.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Hm... could 'calm like a gentle stream' refer to either the water of a lake or tranquility of emotions.

[Jiro]

It could, couldn't it :jess: Focus on that water there, team.

[Gamblet]

Lake Obel's ghost thingy? The one that gives you the sidequest?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Where the sun shines the brightest
It could be somewhere in the wide open, or it could be related to something a character says.

And the lines have gone silent
The 'lines' could refer to communication lines which have 'gone silent'. This could refer to fishing lines as well, no clue how 'gone silent' relates to that.

There I sit, peacefully
The answer is sitting somewhere peacefully, maybe near a water fountain.

Calm like a gentle stream
The answer is linked to water in some way, and is very likely calm.

All in all, I think the answer might relate to the former Galbadia Garden headmaster (I forget his name) who is, by the end of the game, sitting near Mayor Dobe's house in FH.

[Jiro]

Oh man Shinwa Tsuki you are so close to being on the right track that I can't prompt you without making it obvious. The guesses are incorrect but please keep trying, almost there!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Something about it makes me think of the White SeeDs... .

[Jiro]

Not the White SeeDs, you're getting colder now!

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Somewhere in FH?

[Jiro]

Yes indeed. FH is the location referenced.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Yes indeed. FH is the location referenced.

yeah that was my initial guess- but since then we haven't advanced at all...

I only remember a few characters from there- the guy getting a hard time from the soldiers in the shop, & the queen of cards.

[Jiro]

It's neither of those, btw. But keep guessing!

[Rantz]

Master Fisherman!

[Jiro]

Not so, I'm afraid.

[Jinx]

Flo, the Mayor's wife.

[Jiro]

~YES!~

[Jinx]

Stuck in a box
Beautiful women in every form
I fucking hate Final Fantasy 8
Goddamn I wish I had some alcohol to pass the time
What about you, baby?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Uh... Shiva?

[Jinx]

Nope.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

I have to ask what the third line means to the riddle, Miss Boobs.

[Jinx]

It's just a connector for line 4.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

So, line three has no real importance?

I'm guessing the drunkard in the Timbar pub that you can order a drink for.

[Jinx]

Nope.

[maybee]

Siren ?

[Jinx]

Nope.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Could you repost the riddle (new page) give us a hint?

[Jinx]

Stuck in a box
Beautiful women in every form
I smurfing hate Final Fantasy 8
Goddamn I wish I had some alcohol to pass the time
What about you, baby?

Trying breaking it down line by line and letting me see your reasoning.

[maybee]

Oh ! Adel !?

She's stuck in a prison in space [stuck in a box] and while she's frozen she's still able to think and feel [ Alcohol to pass the time ]

[Jinx]

Oh ! Adel !?

She's stuck in a prison in space [stuck in a box] and while she's frozen she's still able to think and feel [ Alcohol to pass the time ]

Good reasoning, but no.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

This is more of my breakdown of the riddle.

Stuck in a box
The answer is stuck in a box, this is either symbolic or otherwise.

Beautiful women in every form
The phrase "in every form" makes me think that this could relate to the inner beauty more then the physical.

I smurfing hate Final Fantasy 8
I can not think of much for this one.

Goddamn I wish I had some alcohol to pass the time
The answer wishes it "had some alcohol to pass the time" with. This is likely symbolic.

What about you, baby?
The answer is asking if "you, baby" want some alcohal.

My answer: This makes me think of the "prison" that Laguna and his friends found themselves in at some point, though it might be another prisoner then Laguna.

Lol it's just TB saying that FF VIII sucks in a opinion :jess:

@ Tifa's Boobs

Lunatic Pandora is sort of box like, is that close to the answer or cold ?

[Jinx]

Very, very cold.

[Gamblet]

Stuck in a box........ bathroom?

Women in bathroom?

Drunk chicks in bathroom?

[Jinx]

No. xD

Your thinking is a little...better?

[maybee]

Man I suck at this. ]:

If Bathroom is better thinking then maybe it has something to do with one of the those drunk guys in the Pub in Dollet ?

[Jinx]

Hint: It's not a bathroom, but it is indeed a room.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Hint: It's not a bathroom, but it is indeed a room.

that space station thing- they locked adel in?

[Shorty]

Aphorora Pub in Timber.

[Gamblet]

Aphorora Pub in Timber.

Wasn't it Aurora?

[Jinx]

Okay--let me clarify--the FIRST LINE is a room.


The answer is not.

[Shorty]

It was Aphorora when I googled it.

My reasoning - a room where there are ladies with obvious internal integrity where you would go to get a drink and perhaps offer one to someone else.

I don't know what the fuck else to take from this, though.

[Jinx]

Who said anything about women with internal integrity?

[Shorty]

You're right, inner beauty is a hoax.

[Jinx]

When you guys figure this out you're gonna kick yourselves. I thought someone would get this right away, honestly.

[Shorty]

Give us another hint, then!

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Jerry Cantrell?

[Jinx]

The first line and the last line are the most important.

[Shorty]

Does the conversation Squall and Rinoa have at the beginning of the game in the opening credits have any relevence to your riddle?

[Jinx]

Uh, no. I don't so, no.

Hint: first disc.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

Jerry Cantrell?

no one gets the reference...?


is it a room in balamb garden? infirmary

[Jinx]

No. No.

[Jiro]

Is it Irvine when they get on the train at Galbadia Garden?

[Jinx]

Is it Irvine when they get on the train at Galbadia Garden?

Nope.

[maybee]

The Forest Owl Train

Box- Rinoa's room

Alcohol to pass the time- Them being fucking idiots and pissing about instead of getting to the actual mission.

[Jinx]

Nope. But Rinoa is involved indirectly.

[Night Fury]

That room in Cpt Carroway's mansion that Quistis gets trapped in and has to use the secret switch?

[Jinx]

By jove, I do believe Miss Lockharted's got it!

This is more of my breakdown of the riddle.

Stuck in a box
You're trapped in the room.

Beautiful women in every form
You've got Quistis and Selphie (humans), the painting of a beautiful woman, and the statue of a beautiful woman.

I smurfing hate Final Fantasy 8
As I said, this was just a connecter to the second half of the riddle. I don't understand why people were so caught up on this line, after I said that it didn't mean anything. :greenie:

Goddamn I wish I had some alcohol to pass the time
This more just brings you to line four...

What about you, baby?
...you have to put the wine glass in the statue's hand.


You're up, Locky. :)

[Jiro]

That was pretty damn good.

[maybee]

That was pretty damn good.

I agree ! :jess:

I must admit it was just a guess! I only saw that Rinoa was indirectly involved, and so I thought "right, when does she make a trout of the situation"

And read through backwards.

Saw disc 1. Saw the riddle and saw it was a room, so I though, ahhhh I'll just take a wild guess!

GO ME!

Right, now to think of a riddle....

A body built of a populous state
I always look to the bottom of it
Step one is where the water runs
I am not of any value
From inside I will judge

[Gamblet]

I don't know why, but I feel it is related to Balamb Garden.

[Jiro]

The populous state makes me think either Esthar or Galbadia

The water makes me think either salt lake or sewers

I have no smurfing idea :confused:

[Night Fury]

None of those guesses are close.

[Rantz]

Is it related to Obel Lake?

[Night Fury]

Is it related to Obel Lake?

Nope.

[Shorty]

Is the answer water-related?

[Night Fury]

Is the answer water-related?

Vaguely. It's more a clue as to how to find it.

[Dr. rydrum2112]

The underground city with the moomba's? (I forget the name of it)

[Night Fury]

The underground city with the moomba's? (I forget the name of it)

Nope

[CimminyCricket]

Is it the dungeon with Bahamut?

[Night Fury]

Is it the dungeon with Bahamut?

Nope but you're kind of getting closer

[CimminyCricket]

Is it the magical lamp with Diablos?

[Night Fury]

Is it the magical lamp with Diablos?

Nope!

[CimminyCricket]

Hm. Are we allowed to ask questions regarding the riddle or is the riddle the only hint we get?
