Final Fantasy Riddles

[MoonZapdos]

Start posting your riddles here... :P

Well this is the first one:

My rival is a living menace,
My dear friend was killed by him,
I'm heading far north to destroy him,
Who am I?

[Denmark]

Ultros. Definitely.

[MoonZapdos]

Nope.

[TasteyPies]

My ex-gf, that or Cloud

[sephiroth21]

ummm......ject???

[Big D]

']My rival is a living menace,
My dear friend was killed by him,
I'm heading far north to destroy him,
Who am I?Sephiroth.

[Lord Chainsaw]

Desh.

[Rusty]

Cloud

[MoonZapdos]

TasteyPies got it right!
Well, now it's you turn to give us a riddle!

[TasteyPies]

Thank you, hmmm lets see


Traveled the world
to find a castle
Told to defeat a kidnaping knight.
Given a flute
to open a portal
To extinguish his horrible might.

Who is meh? can't make it much easier people! come on!

[Rase]

Any of the heros in FF1?

[TasteyPies]

Correct, made it too easy did I? go ahead its your turn DPC

[Rase]

I control my minions minds,
and summon demons from the depths,
to activate the final bridge,
and come to Earth to destroy all.

Who am I?

[TasteyPies]

Ugh i know this one gimme a sec..

Zeromus?

[Rase]

Correctomundo.

Your turn (again).

[TasteyPies]

I'll jump off a cliff
I'll blow up a train
But liking a womanizing cowboy?
Now thats just insane

I traveled to a continent
Just to switch my school
And all my teammates think
Im a hyperactive fool.

Who am I?

[Ultima Shadow]

Maybe... Squall?

[Rase]

Selphie?

[TasteyPies]

yup, Selphie

I'll jump off a cliff (chasing the squad leader Seifer)
I'll blow up a train ("And then we blow it to bits with a rocket launcher right?)
But liking a womanizing cowboy? (Irvine <3 Selphie, she just said "Riiiiiiight" at first)
Now thats just insane

I traveled to a continent
Just to switch my school (Trabia --> Balamb)
And all my teammates think
Im a hyperactive fool. (well..she is)

DPC you got it go ahead

[MoonZapdos]

Yikes!
Looks like I lost all the fun... well done Dark_Paladin_Cecil!

[Rase]

Uhhhhhhhh,hmmmmmmm.....

I murdered the innocent,
and stole what was thiers,
commander of a mighty force,
until I was banished,
and turned to become the light.

Who am I?

P.S. I'll be gone from the 12th to the 19th, so it might seem I've forgotten about this, but I haven't.

[Big D]

I murdered the innocent,
and stole what was thiers,
commander of a mighty force,
until I was banished,
and turned to become the light.

Cecil!
FFIV's anti-hero turned saviour.

[Rase]

Wow, that was fast.

Go Big D.

[Big D]

Two of a kind, you say?
Not quite but close.
A start, a finish,
a finish and a start
sentenced to endure each others words.

Then who am I, you say?
But one of the pair, a half of the whole
Yet the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Mistake me for my brother, will you?
Then I will put him in your side.

[SpiritWolf]

Zorn and Thorn?

[Big D]

Nope. My poem refers to a single person...

[The Captain]

At first I thought Masa and Mune from Chrono Trigger and Cross, but I suppose I'll guess:

Palom and Porom?

Take care all.

[TasteyPies]

Two opisites, a single person, CONFUSING!

[Big D]

The poem is about two people, but it's talking specifically about one of them. The fact that there's a 'pair' of characters is merely a clue to the identity of the one I've got in mind...;)

The last two lines are a bit of a play on words, but the biggest clue that's available. One person came pretty close the answer already...

[The Captain]

I'm going out on a limb, Kuja?

Take care all.

[-N-]

Zorn. *puts a Thorn in Big D's side*

[Big D]

Zorn. *puts a Thorn in Big D's side*Yes! *Passes torch to princeofdarknez*

SpiritWolf guessed "Zorn and Thorn", but since the answer is merely "Zorn", princeofdarknez wins.

Two of a kind, you say?
Not quite but close. Zorn and Thorn are very similar, but not identical
A start, a finish,
a finish and a start
sentenced to endure each others words. These three lines refer to how those two speak - often repeating the same thing but in different ways, or finishing each others' sentences.

Then who am I, you say?
But one of the pair, a half of the whole Decribing one of the twins only
Yet the whole is greater than the sum of its parts Meltigemini is far stronger than either Zorn or Thorn separately
Mistake me for my brother, will you?
Then I will put him in your side. Just a clue that it's Zorn, not Thorn, I'm looking for.

[The Captain]

Nice one Dave!

Anyway, it's your turn now Princeofdarknez.

Take care all.

[-N-]

I'll try and refrain from more FFVII-related riddles. Man, I remember that thread... and for future reference, any CT/CC/XG allowed, or just FF?

Anyways, here goes.

The first one you won for free.
The third one you had to earn three.
By then the second one came,
But only after ten is the last one gained.

If you're in the general ballpark, I'll let you know, and it'll be your turn. Looks a bit too easy to me... but that's because I wrote it, I guess. :D

[The Captain]

Hmm, I'm stumped at the moment. This refers to a character, correct?

Take care all.

[MoonZapdos]

Good riddle...
This topic as evolved a lot, huh?

[TasteyPies]

Uh....it would help if there was a question at the end of the riddle. Who am I? What is this? ect.

[-N-]

I thought that was taken for granted. My mistake.

What am I?

Your hint for the day: It's a set.

[TasteyPies]

A mini-game with prizes :p

[The Captain]

Going to take a stab in the dark and say, the Chocobo Races in FFVII?

Take care all.

[TasteyPies]

Going to take a stab in the dark and say, the Chocobo Races in FFVII?

Take care all.

*wishes he was able to play all of ff7*

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Chcobo Hot and Cold from FFIX?

[-N-]

Hmm... no one's really close at all... I'd say TasteyPies is about... 10% there. He was right in saying there were prizes. And that's the closest. :D

Two hints for the day (I'm generous, aren't I? :D):
Riddle one was too much I see, well,
Around the world you must go,
Overlooking nothing at all.
Up on the peaks, down to the shores,
Never miss a spot.



"] Good riddle...
This topic as evolved a lot, huh?
You should see the FFVII riddles... those had fuel. And there were some crazy riddles.

[TasteyPies]

Um...that ff8 thing where you have to run around and in certain areas in the world map some text would pop up?...maybe? the ff8 lake incident is the only thing i can think of thats not a mini-game

[-N-]

In case you're dying to find out if you're right... No. Take what you get from this hint, and put it together with the original riddle. There's more than one way to extract the meaning of the second riddle, by the way.

[TasteyPies]

The first one you won for free.
The third one you had to earn three.
By then the second one came,
But only after ten is the last one gained.
Around the world you must go,
Overlooking nothing at all.
Up on the peaks, down to the shores,
Never miss a spot.

Not a minigame...
Has prizes...
requires constant diligent travel on mountains and beaches ect.
First time you get 1 free prize then the Third time you get 3 prizes
After 10 times you get the final prize

Question...How can the second occurrence start after the third one? and winning for free is an oxymoron

It makes no sense at all and in case you were wondering the topic and area are Final fantasy riddles and General final fantasy so CT/CC/XG probably wouldn’t be allowed.

[Old Manus]

that is HARD.

i would say (well, guess) that is something to do with secret items. You recieve item no:1 off someone, then must get three of..something, to get item #3. Then you will be able to find item #2. Then you must find 10 somethings to get the last item.

Then "never miss a spot" could also mean an actual "spot"....

That was a mega stab in the dark.

[Laguna]

Is it the turtle's paridise flyers from FF7? There were 10, and you got a prize from each one? Just a wild guess.

[Lord Xehanort]

Are we allowed to be told which FF this is from?

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Its the chocobo crap in the Calm Lands on FFX

[The Captain]

Hmm... My next guess is, Catching the monsters in FFX?

Take care all.

[-N-]

People seem to be getting warm, but I fear giving away the game will make it far too easy. Anyways, for today's hints, I'll point out who's getting warm.

TasteyPies: You left out an important line, my man (all five lines of riddle 2 work together somehow to give a hint). But your conclusions are all correct. A suggestion: by the time you get the third prize, you've already gotten the second prize, haven't you? (This seems to be confusing some.) I concede "winning for free" is an oxymoron, but that matter is irrelevant to the answer.

Laguna: Your mode of thinking is on the right track. However, there were only 6 Turtle's Paradise Flyers in FFVII, and you only got a prize for getting all 6 and going to the Turtle's Paradise in Wutai.

TasteyPies: It's not about CT/CC/XG, but thanks for the future info.

If no one's hot by tomorrow, the correct game will be revealed.

[The Captain]

Getting Auron's spheres for his overdrive in FFX?

Take care all.

[-N-]

Congrats. Your turn.

BTW:

Riddle one was too much I see, well,
Around the world you must go,
Overlooking nothing at all.
Up on the peaks, down to the shores,
Never miss a spot.

RAOUN - unscramble - AURON.

[The Captain]

Huh, I definitely didn't notice that at first glance. Great riddle by the by.

How's about an easy one now?

A World Trotting Hero,
I Search And I Seek,
For The Past And To Escape It,
I'm Just Looking For Relief.

As For Any Fair Maiden,
Who's In Dire, Dire Need,
I'll Come To Your Rescue,
For It Helps You As Well As Me.

Who Am I?


Take care all.

[TasteyPies]

A charicter that travels the world saving people, also likes to get "help" from the ladies...um...going to go with Cloud even though I doubt it

[The Captain]

Good guess, but unfortunately, incorrect. There was another hint I was thinking of adding, but it would make the question like stealing candy from a baby.

(Read Carefully).

Take care all.

[TasteyPies]

SQUALL
A World Trotting Hero, Cid: " above anything i wan't you kids to see the word
I Search And I Seek, A mercinary or SEED searching the globe for battle
For The Past And To Escape It, sis.....matron
I'm Just Looking For Relief. ..whatever

As For Any Fair Maiden, Rinoa
Who's In Dire, Dire Need, Went to Balamb to talk to cid about timber
I'll Come To Your Rescue, She hired seed
For It Helps You As Well As Me.. Rinoa got to be part of something, squall found closure

Squall i guess

[The Captain]

It's none of those characters you mentioned, but Zidane is the closest.

Take care all.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Edgar from FF6?

[The Captain]

Grover has been the closest so far with his first entry, but no one has got it yet. Tonight, if no one figures it out, I'll post an obvious clue.

Take care all.

[-N-]

Locke, FFVI.

A World Trotting Hero, (adventurer)
I Search And I Seek, (treasure hunter)
For The Past And To Escape It, (how to save rachel)
I'm Just Looking For Relief. (he feels guilty)

As For Any Fair Maiden, (likes to protect women)
Who's In Dire, Dire Need, (above)
I'll Come To Your Rescue, (above)
For It Helps You As Well As Me. (he feels he compensates for not protecting rachel)

Who Am I? (locke)

Locke, FFVI.

Great riddle, by the by.
Thanks. :D I try.

[The Captain]

Yes indeed!

Back to you.

Take care all.

[-N-]

Yes indeed! - Reminds me of CT boss fights. :D

Hmm... well, okay, here we go.

Hit a moving target,
Or maybe get lucky.
Put two and two together,
Go round and round,
Or summon all your strength.
Use well what you've learned,
Or just do the right moves.
Just pack a punch!

I think it's easier than the last one... maybe... I dunno... good luck. :D

[Big D]

Hit a moving target,
Or maybe get lucky.
Put two and two together,
Go round and round,
Or summon all your strength.
Use well what you've learned,
Or just do the right moves.
Just pack a punch!Sounds like you're describing Zell's limit moves from FFVIII. "Put two and two together" seems to describe a combo of moves; "Go round and round" sounds like a description of the popular 'Armageddon Fist' combo. "Or summon all your strength" to use a special finishing move. "Use well what you've learned,
Or just do the right moves" to win by either being stregic and planning your attacks or go for straightforward, pragmatic assaults. "Just pack a punch!" was, to me, the biggest clue that this is about Zell, although I realised that the description could apply to Tifa's Limit Break as well.

[-N-]

You're on the right track, Big D. Don't take "pack a punch" too literally.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Sabin's Blitz, or Squall's Renozuken or the Snowboard/Submarine minigame from FFVII

[Big D]

Hmm... could be Cait Sith's limit break, too.
Hit a moving target,
Or maybe get lucky.
Put two and two together,
Go round and round,
Or summon all your strength.
Use well what you've learned,
Or just do the right moves.
Just pack a punch!
Two and two together - could refer to Cait Sith's dice. The other clues kinda describe his Slots attack...

[UltimateSpamGrover]

its the "Monk" class

[-N-]

Ah, D, you're killing me... each line is important.

[Big D]

Hmm... I get the feeling that you're talking about limit breaks in general. Lots of the things you've said seem to hint at various different characters' limit-type attacks, from several different games:
Hit a moving target,
Renzokuken
Or maybe get lucky.
Reels/slots or some other random attack
Put two and two together,
Dice
Go round and round,
Reels, again
Or summon all your strength.
Omnishlash or Grand Summon, to name two possibilities, depending on how you interpret "summon".
Use well what you've learned,
Some Limit Breaks, such as Duel, use moves that are learned.
Or just do the right moves.
Fairly general limit-breakey kind of phrase
Just pack a punch!
Zell, Tifa

Wonder if I'm getting closer, or losing the plot completely?

[Evil_Cloud]

i think it might just be Tifa's Limit breaks in general, or at least thats how i saw it. tell me if i'm right, if not FLAME ME BABY FLAME ME!

[-N-]

You're so freaking close, Big D.

*flames Evil_Cloud*

Hint for the day that will enlighten Big D: The riddle applies to one game.

[Seryn Kai]

Here's one-

Greed fells both me and my beloved.
I search in vain to see you again.
Only to see the face of greed and anger once more.
Now, I seek only for eternal peace with you.

To whom do I refer?

[Lord Xehanort]

Sadly, Sk's riddle will have to wait until the previous one is answered.

[The Captain]

I'm going to go with Zell's limit break myself.

Take care all.

[Ultima Shadow]

Selphies limit break?

[Big D]

FFVII's Limit Breaks.

[§håd0w]

FFVIII Limit Breaks?

[The Captain]

Are any of us in the ballpark princeofdarknez?

Take care all.

[-N-]

Sorry for not clueing you in - I was on a bit of a trip this weekend. Anyways, let me take a look here...

Uhh... Big D and Masamune have the right idea. But the wrong game.

[§håd0w]

FFX seems as if it could work

Hit a moving target, - Swordplay
Or maybe get lucky. - Reels
Put two and two together, - Mix
Go round and round, - Fury (spinning R3)
Or summon all your strength. - Grand Summon
Use well what you've learned, - Blue Magic
Or just do the right moves. - Bushido (pressing the different buttons)
Just pack a punch! - Requiem?

'tis a possibilty.

[-N-]

Good. Go.

[The Captain]

Smartly done!

Nice riddle by the by.

Take care all.

[§håd0w]

Le wüt!!!1

One for the Masamune :D

[The Captain]

Now tis your turn to post a riddle.

Take care all.

[§håd0w]

I pack a punch, and a kick too.
To get my revenge, from being picked on by on you.
Adopted by my parents, which I just found out.
When I get mad, I'm not afraid to scream or pout.
Had an incedent, going fast; zoom zoom.
Turned too fast into the women's restroom.
My house is in a city, with no yard and,
It is located near a garden.


To whom am I referring to?

[-N-]

Zell.

I pack a punch, and a kick too. (Zell's hand to hand fighting)
To get my revenge, from being picked on by on you. (He was picked on)
Adopted by my parents, which I just found out. (Yeah, that whole thing)
When I get mad, I'm not afraid to scream or pout. (He is kinda loud)
Had an incedent, going fast; zoom zoom. (He needs to pee?)
Turned too fast into the women's restroom. (I don't remember this...)
My house is in a city, with no yard and, (Yeah... in Balamb)
It is located near a garden. (Balamb Garden)

[§håd0w]

Had an incedent, going fast; zoom zoom. (He needs to pee?)
Turned too fast into the women's restroom. (I don't remember this...)


When he was riding his T-Board, he was going too fast, made a sharp turn right into the women restroom, Quistis tells you about it if you have her in your party when Galbadia seizes Balamb. Good, your turn... again.

[-N-]

Next poster can take my turn. Let's see some other people's stuff.

[The Captain]

Vivi from FFIX?

Take care all.

[The Captain]

I start out low, but move my way up,
By cunning and through underhanded deeds,
Slowly but surely I have changed this world,
And HATE, HATE, HATE it when someone pleads..

Though you'll want to tackle me right away,
It's impossible without the proper numbers,
My laugh is legendary, my temper quick,
I may look like a clown, but I am no tumbler.

Take care all.

[§håd0w]

Kefka from FFVI?

[The Captain]

Yes indeed!

It's all yours.

Take care all.

[§håd0w]

I shall bequeath my riddle to whomever wishes to post next.

[Rase]

Okay then,

Wearing the armor of a dragon,
I wield my lance to fight for me.
But which side do I fight for?
First for one, then the other,
Both the brethren and betrayer.

Who am I?

[§håd0w]

Cecil?

[Laguna]

Kain

[-N-]

I agree with Laguna - Kain is the answer. However, if it is the answer, then it's Laguna's turn - as he posted first. (Obviously.)

[§håd0w]

Oh right, lol. Kain was the Dragoon and Cecil was the Dark Knight/Paladin. :D

[Rase]

Yep, Laguna got it.

[-N-]

*blatant bump*

[§håd0w]

Someone just take Laguna's turn.

[FFanatic Of FFantasy]

I wanna try one! Solve this!


My duty gets the better of me
I can be the strongest through my arms
To protect a proud Kingdom
My love was another like me
Near the end I discover the blinded truth

Who Am I?
_____________________________________________
A tough knight with a girlish name!

Whats next a woman dressed like a rabbit with a bow?
That's Final Fantasy For You!

[§håd0w]

Freya?

My duty gets the better of me - ?
I can be the strongest through my arms - Her lance
To protect a proud Kingdom - Burmecia
My love was another like me - Sir Fratley
Near the end I discover the blinded truth - He doesn't remember her, when he returns

[The Captain]

I'll say Beatrix, though Freya makes sense too.

Take care all.

[FFanatic Of FFantasy]

Congrats! It's Your Turn To Shine!

[Big D]

Cid, from FFVII!
I think... except that Shera wasn't his wife:p
Did I get it, or am I way off?

[FFanatic Of FFantasy]

I'd say Cid from 9!

[Lord Xehanort]

It has to be Cid from VII. Cid from 9's chance was ruined by his wife... but cheating on her was not his dream.

[Ultima Shadow]

but cheating on her was not his dream.
Are you really sure about that? :D :D :D

[The Captain]

Good show Dave!

Take care all.

[Big D]

It's robust and practical,
But hidden from view
Found in the past,
To mention it would be... untactful.

[§håd0w]

Lemme ask first, is this a who, what or where?

[Big D]

This ain't twenty questions, yo.;)

If people get too stuck, I'll drop some hints.

[The Captain]

I must admit, I'm completely stumped at the moment. I can't think of where to begin thinking up an answer. Mighty good riddle!

Take care all.

[§håd0w]

I must concur, I cannot guess at all.

[Big D]

It's from a Final Fantasy...
This thread's in "General FF" so I'll confine my riddles to that series.

But here's a hint...

"It can ease a secret pain".

[FFanatic Of FFantasy]

One Big Wild Guess...Excalibur!

[-N-]

Excalibur II from FFIX.

It's robust and practical, (big, strong, useful, sword)
But hidden from view (it's hidden)
Found in the past, (memoria)
To mention it would be... untactful. (???)

*reads the hint* Hmm... on second thought, let's do this WITH the hint. :D

One guess is the Crystal from FFIV.

It's robust and practical, (does stuff)
But hidden from view (you don't really see it?)
Found in the past, (umm...)
To mention it would be... untactful. (maybe this isn't a good guess)

+H: "It can ease a secret pain". (ease Zeromus into his form)

The more viable guess is... something from FFVIII. Something to do with Lunatic Pandora or Adel, or Raine's baby, or Ellone... blah.

I really thought Excalibur II was right for a moment...

[The Captain]

I'd warrant that the word "past" would imply something from FFVIII as that game deals directly with the concept of time travel. It's the last line that is throwing me off: "untactful".. does that mean some form of spoiler?

Take care all, and may someone figure this toughie out!

[Big D]

It's the last line that is throwing me off: "untactful".. does that mean some form of spoiler?Nope... it means that someone who has a degree of tact wouldn't normally talk about it. When someone does mention it, that's probably a pretty crass move.

[§håd0w]

How about Elixer from Mystic Quest? It was said to cure anyone. Plus it hidden away in a cave. Could be it, but probably not.

[Big D]

Just to recap... this thing is an an FF, not any other game.

It's robust and practical,
But hidden from view
Found in the past,
To mention it would be... untactful.

It can ease a secret pain.

These hints relate to how the thing is found in the game, what it does, and how the characters react to it. Each of these lines are farily integral. Also, this thing isn't of really huge, earth-shattering significance (though some might disagree), and you can play the entire game without ever encountering it, or even being aware of its existence.

[The Captain]

AHA!

Is it Tifa's orthopedic underwear from FFVII?

Take care all.

[Big D]

You know me too well.

It's robust and practical, ~A strong, sturdy garment
But hidden from view~You never actually see it on-screen, even after Cloud finds it
Found in the past,~Nibelheim flashback
To mention it would be... untactful. ~...As Cloud found out.

It can ease a secret pain.~Self-explanatory.

Nicely solved!:)

[The Captain]

Nay good sir, it was a most worthy riddle. I just stumbled upon the answer by chance.

Hmm, now I must muster up one myself...

An item not easily found but long sought
It can never be sold, borrowed, nor bought.
Once you find it, more of the plot will be unfurled,
And have both the father and his girl.

Take care all.

[The Captain]

Good guess, but unfortunately, that's not what I was thinking of. Still, mighty fine guess.

Take care all.

[Big D]

Ellone, from FFVIII?

[The Captain]

Sorry Sir Suave, tis not a person but an item I'm afraid!

Still, I can see where you may have thought of that answer..

Take care all.

[zacks_clone]

Take care all.

This reminds me of the spheres found in final fantasy X, the ones that tell of Braskas journey. So, Braskas sphere?

[UltimateSpamGrover]

is it the planet "Terra" from FFIX?


the father referring to Garland, and the girl referring to the planet itself..(Terra, its a girls name)

[-N-]

I believe Braska's sphere is the correct answer.

[The Captain]

Unfortunately, no one has figured out the answer as of yet. If no one figures it out by tomorrow night, I'll post a hint or two.

Keep the guesses coming!

Take care all.

[Rusty]

Ok I'm going to have a guess. The black Materia from FFVII? This is why I thought of that...

An item not easily found but long sought - Sephiroth was looking for it, and it is not easily found.

It can never be sold, borrowed, nor bought. You cant sell, borrow or buy the Black materia.

Once you find it, more of the plot will be unfurled. This is true, once you find the black materia alot of the plot unfolds.

And have both the father and his girl. You discover after this about Aeris's parents...

[nik0tine]

is it jsut a "key item" thats my guess. or is it something specific?

[FFanatic Of FFantasy]

......White Materia!...It sounds right!!

But you never get the White Materia

[The Captain]

Hmm, no one is really on the right track yet.

So, here's a hint:

Lurking deep in a cavern,
You'll find it with eyes so keen,
Perhaps not used, but to be traded,
And make the unseen shadow seen.

Take care all.

[Dragoon Kain]

this is just a guess but the key to the city of the ancients?

[The Captain]

Good guess, but still not quite on the right track.

Hint: If you capitalize one letter from the newest set of hints, the answer will be more obvious.

Take care all.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

AHA Its the weapon "Striker" to get Shadow back in the World of Ruin in FF6... (if its not this, then I have no clue what it is)

[§håd0w]

That would make sense. Since if you capitalize the S in shadow, you get Shadow who is in FFVI, and henceforth more of the plot will be revealed. :D

[Ultima Shadow]

Just a wild guess... Memento Ring.

[The Captain]

Yes indeed Grover!

You're up!

Take care all.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

ok, I got one:

Our island holds this mighty beast
which also takes a ferry to the east
There is a jungle north of here
But then there is an ochu to fear...

Where am I?

[TasteyPies]

FFX and your talking about the Shoopuff

[UltimateSpamGrover]

[The Captain]

Kilika?

Take care all.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

ding ding CORRECT
Mighty Beast (Ifrit)
Ferry to East (Luca)
Jungle to north (the path to COT)
Ochu (the boss there)

you're up Captain

[The Captain]

Is there anyone here who has guessed, but not yet asked a riddle? If so, they may take my turn.

Take care all.

[SpiritWolf]

I've guessed so I'll go although I'm not to good at making up riddles.

You first meet me where frogs are plentiful
I help you discover where the passage is
If you attack me you will be quickly devoured
so that I may learn magic that is niether white nor black.

[Dragoon Kain]

quina?

[UltimateSpamGrover]

its got to be Quina, its obvious

[SpiritWolf]

Yep since Dragoon Kain got it first it's his turn.

[Dragoon Kain]

im not good at making up riddles. i just like to guess :D . so whoever wants it can have my turn.

[Trumpet Thief]

*Takes a stupid and wild guess* Omnislash?

[SpiritWolf]

Is it Auron Celestial weapon the Masamune?

[Dragoon Kain]

is it that stupid chocobo training thing to get tidus cadalbolg? or whatever that weapon is called

[Trumpet Thief]

That has got to be the right answer, either that or Lulu's Celestial Weapon the Onion Knight, or Kimahri's Ultimate weapon.

[Ultima Shadow]

Wakkas Celestial weapon?

[Ultima Shadow]

Hmmmm... lets see..............

I'm hard to see, but still I'm there.
I can offer you joy, but only here.
Next time you'll come here, I may not be there
But be patience, and in time I'll appear.

Geez... took me ages to come up with something at all. :rolleyes2

[PhoenixAsh]

Tad abstract but the guy in the Gold Saucer who sells GP?

[Ultima Shadow]

Yea, that's rigth! Your turn.

[The Captain]

All right, seems everyone is on a roll!

You're up PhoenixAsh.

Take care all.

[PhoenixAsh]

Wow that went well. Okay I really can't remember whats gone, better be less abstract than I am in the VII riddles...


I stand alone not like the rest,
Now many think I am a pest,
They say just fighting would be best,
But it's not just strength that I will test.
To use me right is kinda 'sketch'y,
But great power I will fetch ye.
No orbs in sight to help you grow,
You see I'm not just balls you know.

[The Captain]

Off the top of my head, I'll say Relm from FFVI.

Take care all.

[PhoenixAsh]

Sorry, way off. This is a lot easier than usual, but not quite that easy.

[Ultima Shadow]

Just a wild guess... Shadow.

[PhoenixAsh]

Not really sure how you got that, try a tactic other than wild guessing :).

[-N-]

More FFVII riddlers coming on over... I was getting lonely.

The Mover enemies from FFVI.

I stand alone not like the rest, (Troublesome. Don't they appear in threes?)
Now many think I am a pest, (Hard to hit, dies when MP = 0, yeah)
They say just fighting would be best, (It would be easier)
But it's not just strength that I will test. (Hard to hit)
To use me right is kinda 'sketch'y, (Relm Controls)
But great power I will fetch ye. (Strago can learn Big Guard)
No orbs in sight to help you grow, (Doesn't give EXP or AP)
You see I'm not just balls you know. (Movers are balls, but, uh, yeah)

So, Movers from FFVI.

[§håd0w]

Uh, buddy... it was already answered.

[-N-]

Uh, buddy... it was already answered.

Haha. I was under the impression Shadow was wrong.

[Ultima Shadow]

Hah, I just got the FEELING that Shadow was the correct answere. ;)
Ok, next time I'll try a tactic ;) However... since my last one was to obivious, I'll try to come up with an, atleast, a little harder one this time.

Serving a man of the forest
I'll figth the servants of ligth
Finding the truth in one
I'll turn to the other side.

[Big D]

Gilgamesh, FFV.

[Ultima Shadow]

Yea that's rigth. Mine are way to easy! :rolleyes2
Your turn Big D! :)

[PhoenixAsh]

Sorry, worded that badly. Shadow WAS wrong.

[Ultima Shadow]

Oh, I tougth that at first... but then people said I was rigth and... yea. Well, whatever.

[Dragoon Kain]

^ i think that one has been answered already?

[Ultima Shadow]

Yea it was... but the answere was wrong.

[PhoenixAsh]

Nice thinking Doomsday, still way off though. If this riddle stands Big D can take my next go if anyone remembers.

[PhoenixAsh]

Hmmm... I don't want to give too much away just yet, think about the seventh line, it isn't talking about the answer, so what could it be talking about?

[UltimateSpamGrover]

(Originally 1st post) Selphie?
___________________________________________________
(Originally a different post) balls...its talking about a BLITZBALL!!!!

[Ultima Shadow]

Yea... that really is a pest (second line).

[PhoenixAsh]

Right lines of thinking, wrong guess, and not the answer to the riddle if it was right.

[Big D]

Keep me close, they'll keep away
You'll live to fight another day
But don't get cocky,
The road can be rocky,
My magic won't work in every way.

[SpiritWolf]

I have absolutly no clue so I'm just going to guess Aeries

[UltimateSpamGrover]

isnt it still Phoenix's turn?

[Big D]

I have no idea:D Someone posted a riddle, I answered and got told it was my turn.Longshot-->My guess is the GF Diablos... Good guess, but I'm referring to an item that's not in FFVIII.

[§håd0w]

I'm just gonna try at D's... Ribbon from FFIX? Since it gives you the Guardian Mog ability and the summon Madeen.

[-N-]

Big D: Charm Bangle or Moogle Charm from FFVI. I'll say Charm Bangle since it doesn't work 100% of the time, and the riddle's last line kinda implies that.

PhoenixAsh: Was Movers close? Far? Anyways, I'll answer Wakka. His blitzball (line 8), his overdrive reels (lines 5,6) his feelings about Yevon (line 1), the party gets irritated with him occasionally (line 2) are my support.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Big D when you got told it was your turn, the person who told you got Phoenix's riddle WRONG, therefore its Phoenix's turn still...but it doesn't matter anymore

[Big D]

Big D: Charm Bangle or Moogle Charm from FFVI. I'll say Charm Bangle since it doesn't work 100% of the time, and the riddle's last line kinda implies that.
Charm Bangle, yup. Useless in the Via Infinito, and of course against bosses and other mandatory fights.

[The Captain]

Seems there was a lot of confusion going on here.

Should we just continue, or shall we go back to the unanswered riddle?

Take care all.

[Ultima Shadow]

Geez... yea, confusion :rolleyes2 . OK! To end the confusion... it's still Pheonix turn because no one have answered his question coorectly yet. With other words: we go back to the unanswered riddle now since Big Ds question is now answered.

[PhoenixAsh]

Heh, glad thats sorted :D. Okay the last lines are NOT referring to Blitzballs or movers. I'd recommend starting by working those out because there's not a lot of things they could refer to. Remember though, they talk about something that ISN'T the answer to the riddle.
Don't forget the fifth line, it has nothing to do with Relm, but it's still a big clue.

[Ultima Shadow]

This seems impossible for me to solve. If the last lines isn't talking about the answere... then, doesn't that mean that they could talk about ANYTHING that isn't!? Ok, one last (random) guess from me... Gogo? I'm 99,8% sure it isn't.

[PhoenixAsh]

Well I didn't randomly choose something that isn't the answer and talk about that. Think about those two lines in connection with the rest of the riddle.

[PhoenixAsh]

Ooh, a lot of that logic was very the right kind of thinking. Unfortunately you're completely off with your answer. Good enough to warrant some bigger clues though.
The meaning of the word sketchy isn't massively important, it makes sense in context but only loosely, the fact I wrote 'sketch'y like that isn't a mistake though.
Try applying a lot of that logic but take a completely fresh approach, because for a start the answer isn't a person.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Is it the drawings in the theatre district in FFIX?

EDITED: I dont know lol

[UltimateSpamGrover]

I have a feeling Doomsday might be correct...

[PhoenixAsh]

Sorry, he's not. One last hint and then I'll hand it over to princeofdarknez who got Big D's question, or whoever else if he's gone. The answer is from one game, but the riddle itself talks about more than one.

[Ultima Shadow]

Ok... my final guess (the only one that isn't completely random)... Jumbo Cactuar.

I stand alone not like the rest... not like the other cactuars that appear in numbers.
Now many think I am a pest... runs away.
They say just fighting would be best... instead of running away.
But it's not just strength that I will test... Junctioning abilities ect.
To use me right is kinda 'sketch'y... maybe something with the summoning sequence
But great power I will fetch ye... thousand needles and junctioning etc.
No orbs in sight to help you grow...?
You see I'm not just balls you know...?

He's not a person... he's a GF. :p
Oh, and Cactuars appear in more than one of the games... still I don't think this is the answere.

lol, how have you been so good at doing impossible riddles?

[PhoenixAsh]

Hehe, guess I don't think like normal people :). Okay LAST LAST clue, SKETCHy is a massive clue. No orbs in sight to let you GROW, how do people grow in FFs (not in size)?

[Ultima Shadow]

They level up... orbs... exp egg? Or maybe THAT has something to do with Movers since they give alot exp in some of the games. Man, this is to hard for me, I let Doomsday or anyone else with a working brain answere this! :D

[PhoenixAsh]

Oh come on, I don't wanna just give the answer, but are eggs orb shaped?

[Ultima Shadow]

but are eggs orb shaped?
Erm... well... no... I mean... the exp eggs are! :riiight:
Anyway... if this is in FFII, FFIII or FFXI... then I can't answere since those are the only I FFs in the serie that I haven't beat. But... I don't think the answere lies in any of those... isn't there a exp+ materia in FF VII?

[PhoenixAsh]

Okay you're thinking WAY too specifically. The answer is not a specific item or person or whatever, neither are the orbs that it doesn't have.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Sphere Grid?

If its not this, then I have no clue what it is...

I stand alone like the rest > not in other FF's
Now many think I'm a pest > Its VERY annoying
They just say fighting would be best > yeah because in all other FF's they upgrade all of your stats
But its not just strength that I will test > you get to learn magic or ability or stats in every sphere level
To use me right is kinda "sketchy" > you choose what you want your characters to learn, make the wrong choices and...
But great power will fetch ye' > look at "Sketchy"
No orbs in sight will help you grow > The stupid Cloister of Trials in FFX, put in to throw us off...
You see I'm not just balls you know > You use spheres to level up your characters...

[-N-]

A longshot, but this is all I got.

FFIIj's leveling up in-game cheat.

I stand alone not like the rest, (FFIIj has a strange way of leveling up compared to other games)
Now many think I am a pest, (It's hands down the hardest game in the series)
They say just fighting would be best, (The normal way to get exp)
But it's not just strength that I will test. (The trick utilizes knowledge of the battle mechanics)
To use me right is kinda 'sketch'y, (It is a cheat, which is sketchy... can't explain why 'sketch' is quoted)
But great power I will fetch ye. (It really soups you up good)
No orbs in sight to help you grow, (Not FFX here)
You see I'm not just balls you know (Can't make much out of this)

[Ultima Shadow]

Ok, Grovers answere must be coorect! I'm almost sure of it.

[PhoenixAsh]

I can't believe you both got that close and still ignored the 'sketch'y clue, Grover there are NO orbs in sight to help you grow. Someone has to get it soon so I'll leave it open.

[Ultima Shadow]

Some kind of dress-sphere/job/class thing. I go with the dress-spheres since it's FFX2 and the "orbs" that let you grow are all in FFX.

[PhoenixAsh]

I'm guessing dress-spheres are also orbs, though I've never played X-2...

[TasteyPies]

A drawing class type charicter, like that one kid that drew monsters in battle from one of those pre ff7 final fantasies, I played them all in the same summer so its hard to distinguish.

[Jebus]

That would be Relm tasty.

...Blasphemer

[PhoenixAsh]

Nooo, you're going backwards, the answer was nearly there. Two or three more guesses and I'll give the answer.

[§håd0w]

Oh what the hell... Ozma?

[OneWingedAngel89]

Relm?

[PhoenixAsh]

I really thought someone would get this...


I stand alone not like the rest, (Monsters level up with you, junctioning magic to stats, no mp)
Now many think I am a pest, (just go to the forum to see this)
They say just fighting would be best, (Would rather get strong through exp instead of collecting magic)
But it's not just strength that I will test. (You're rewarded for collecting magic, card playing, refining and junctioning)
To use me right is kinda 'sketch'y, (You DRAW magic to gain stats)
But great power I will fetch ye. (You can get unbelievably strong if you junction right)
No orbs in sight to help you grow, (Materia, Sphere Grid, those circles in IX....)
You see I'm not just balls you know (It's different to the others but it's still effective)

So the answer is.... The junction system from FFVIII.

[The Captain]

Ah, I see, mighty clever work!

Well, now we're at a crossroads. Would you like to pose another riddle?

Take care all.

[PhoenixAsh]

Thanks. I would say give it to princeofdarknez because he got Big D's riddle, but if he doesn't know it could take a while, if it's quicker I'll leave it open.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

this WILL take a while...

[The Captain]

I suppose, give it until tomorrow afternoon and if princeofdarknez hasn't posted, then you may have the floor again PhoenixAsh.

Take care all.

[Ultima Shadow]

No... Please... not another one from Phoenix! :eek: :eek: :eek:
princeofdarknez... hurry... you'r our only hope!

[PhoenixAsh]

Hehe, and there was me being all generous with my 'sketch'y hint...

I'll let someone else riddle if as princeofdarknez hasn't got here yet.

[-N-]

Damn... I was so close to getting that riddle.

I'm afraid my current personal situation demands too much of my time to produce and manage the solving of a riddle, so I will pass on my turn. Honestly, I'd rather have Phoenix do another one. ;)

[PhoenixAsh]

Haha, well guess I'm back by popular demand then, sorry Ultima Shadow ;).

Life from life and onto the finish,
Find power from legends old.
Get them all and find the home,
To gain something to play with.
Search the world from high to low,
Through this many things can be sought.
Then just chase some decorations to reverse the clock,
You'll get power, just not quite ready.

Guess I'll give a hint, this riddle doesn't involve FF6 or earlier. Could be easy for me, I don't wanna be too hard after the last one.

[Ultima Shadow]

Haha, well guess I'm back by popular demand then, sorry Ultima Shadow ;).

No worries... I wasn't completely serious in my last post. Your riddles are great... but hard.
However, I let someone else guess first. Hmmm... I got the feeling that this is about FFX.

[PhoenixAsh]

Thanks, I know you were kidding, so was I. It's not Jecht Spheres, and while FFX is involved, you could get the answer having never played FFX, you'd just struggle maybe.

[Dragoon Kain]

yunas pilgramege for the aeons? or maybe the al behd primers?

[PhoenixAsh]

FFX is INVOLVED, the answer is not something from specifically from FFX.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Brainfreeze....

[The Captain]

Is it summoning powers in general? Aeons, Summon Materia, GF and the like?

Take care all.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

it might be Ramuh's Stories from FFIX...
EDIT: Wait isnt it FFX related....?

[zoti]

summons....or the farplane....just come to think about it.... :p

[-N-]

I'm leaning towards The Captain's musings on summoning in general from the later series (though something that general would end up involving FFIV and FFVI). Lines 1/2 reminds me of Magicite or Fayth. Lines 3/4 could refer to getting the Master Summon materia. Lines 5/6 just refers to searching for them in general, I think (FFVII - materia, FFVIII - GFs, FFIX - gems, FFX - extra aeons, etc.). Lines 7/8 are throwing me off for now.

[FFanatic Of FFantasy]

Sound like Searching For The Summons from FF 4....Maybe!

[PhoenixAsh]

All good lines of thinking, though this only very slightly has anything to do with summons. Also it only doesn't involve earlier FFs because I chose not to include them.

[PhoenixAsh]

I like the thinking, but not on the right ideas yet. I'll give two clues because I want this to actually get answered. First, this riddle is pretty much completely literal. Second, look at the punctuation.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

Phoenix...
I hate you....

[PhoenixAsh]

Haha, I'm here to please :D.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

grrrrrrrrrrr

[UltimateSpamGrover]

I have logic so intense, that it is impossible to explain in these forums, so I will guess the women/heroines of Final Fantasy 7 and above DON'T ASK WHY!

good thinking.. I can see where you got that from

[-N-]

Line 7 reminds me of the Cloister of Trials from FFX. Line 8 could refer to when you get the treasure the second time around in the Chamber of the Fayth, but that would require playing FFX.

Lines 1-4 remind me of one of two things:
FFVII: the cycle of life in the Lifestream, and the materia created from it that contains the knowledge of the Cetra. Getting them all and the home could refer to the Huge Materia / Master Materia stuff.

FFIX: the summons in the game that are learned from the ancient summoner paintings and gems. Find the home (Oeilvert or Madain Sari) and get something to play with (you get summoning stuff at both places, right? I dislike FFIX so much.)

Lines 5-6 seem too general to dissect, but taking high and low literally, I imagine Mt. Gagazet and the Valley of the Fayth from FFX.

-------------

Okay, take two.

Lines 5-6 imply travelling from Valley of the Fayth to Mt. Gagazet.
Lines 7-8 imply completing the Cloister of Trials in Zanarkand and receiving the Final Aeon from Yunalesca, although it is incomplete because it hasn't been summoned yet.
Blah... I was going to say Lines 1-4 have to do with getting Yojimbo and Anima, but that has too much to do with FFX and summoning.

[PhoenixAsh]

princeofdarknez has the right kind of way of looking at the riddles. I know I said you don't HAVE to play FFX to get the riddle, but the logic you used for FFX wouldn't negate understanding the rest. Though that was the wrong idea you chose.
Also as I said look at the punctuation, I very rarely use a riddle style that simply describes a particular answer.

EDIT: didn't see your second guess, which DOES have too much FFX in it for it to be answerable otherwise.

[UltimateSpamGrover]

I...hate you.... and I always will..hate...you

I dont even have a clue of what this is...

[-N-]

Browser crashed when I had a full explanation, so I'm kinda pissed and will be abbreviating my thoughts, for better or for worse. :mad2:

Life from life and onto the finish,

Get them all and find the home,

*rearranges a bit*

Life from life and onto the finish,
Get them all and find the home,

Then just chase some decorations to reverse the clock,

Lines 1/2 remind me of collecting Aeons from Fayth and going to Zanarkand. Line 3 could mean Bevelle and Baaj (low). Line 4 is kinda like the Zanarkand trials.

Alternately, Line 4 is suggestive of the clock face in FFVII, Temple of the Ancients. Line 3 could then refer to falling off the clock face to the room below. Lines 1/2 don't make too much sense in this context (I can think of a few things, but it's very loose, not literal).

I'm trying to connect it to the airship idea, since that's my strongest feeling right now.



Find power from legends old.

Lines 3/4 remind me of an airship - can use it to find stuff, but you don't get "ready" power (no immediate power results from getting an airship). Lines 1/2 then could refer to salvaging FFX's airship from the ancient machina ruins and stuff.

Really, I'm not even sure what you're asking for. Is it the "this" in Line 6? My current answer is "Airship, thanks".

[UltimateSpamGrover]

what about the clock in Zozo on FF6?

[-N-]

Doesn't have anything to do with FFVI or earlier, as previously stated.
