[ReloadPsi]

What about Bahamut ZERO then?

The "great wisdom" of the Huge Materia is needed in order to acquire it, and there's a common misconception that you get it while you're in space, which Cid fairly creams his pants over (great sight).

(By "common misconception", I'm merely referring to the fact that in reality, you can get any combination of the Huge Materia and you're guaranteed to have the yellow if there's one, green if there's two, red if there's three and silver if you get them all... because the one in space is the last you'll get if you remember to salvage the red sub, it's often believed that the one in space is silver. Actually I'm not sure if that order is correct, but I am sure that they appear in an order, not in specific places.)

[Aerith's Knight]

i think its ZERO too

[Tallulah]

Something is telling me it might be Cloud's Ultima Weapon...

[Sephitachi7]

not Bahamut ZERO and not Cloud's Ultima Sword

[Aerith's Knight]

dragon armlet?

[Juggernaut]

A hole?


edit
Nevermind, I thought this was for the last riddle.
/edit

[Sephitachi7]

Not Dragon armlet.

hole? no... lol

[Juggernaut]

lol I didn't know we advanced a riddle there

Gives you Earth Drum:

Screamer - kill it

Christopher - steal it

Flower Prong - kill it


My guess: Christopher


EDIT
Ah, spoony bards! We advanced another riddle!
/EDIT

[BG-57]

This is the current riddle:

Before a great sight,
great wisdom has granted you this gift.
1/2 dinosaur, 1/2 steel,
A great aid when your friends are in trouble.

[Sephitachi7]

No one's guessed for a while so I'll give a clue.

It is a weapon (not to be confused with a WEAPON) and think of the 3rd line more like this...

1/2 dinosaur (the name), 1/2 steel (description).

Someone's bound to get it now.

And also I noticed I used great 3 times >< lol.

Happy guessing.

[Gennosuke]

Force Stealer??

[Aerith's Knight]

i prob would know the answer with the clues given.. but its been too long and i have no idea what most of the weapons are called :p

[Sephitachi7]

hehe Should I answer the riddle? I didn't think it was that hard but maybe it is.

btw it is not force stealer, but good guess.

... Think of line 4 as more than just a line. It's actually a good clue. What weapon is a great aid when your friends are in trouble?

[Jiro]

Dragoon Lance?
Its not a dinosaur but still, its all I've got.

EDIT: Nevermind, that last clue makes my guess irrelevant.

[Gennosuke]

is it the yoshiyuki??

[Aerith's Knight]

is it the yoshiyuki??

LOOOL yoshi=dino :p

[Sephitachi7]

lol sorry if it was corny hahaha

Yes it is Yoshiyuki congratulations

Here is the riddle and what it means:

Before a great sight, (The leaning rocket in Rocket Town)
great wisdom has granted you this gift.(Given to you by old man)
1/2 dinosaur, 1/2 steel,(1st half of the name is Yoshi :P)
A great aid when your friends are in trouble. (Sword gets power up when allies are down)

Your turn Gennosuke!

[BG-57]

Isn't yuki Japanese for snow?

[Gennosuke]

OK, here it goes, if this totally sucks im sorry:( ,

On-ward,burning with anticipation,
A place filled with memories,
Right,left,right,right,discovered,
A quantity no longer possessed.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

The Shinra Mansion? I'm pretty sure I'm close. I'm not sure how to fit all the lines, though. But the first two lines sounds like Nibelheim, and the 3rd line sounds like the safe or kinda what you do to get one of the numbers. Maybe the answer is 59?

[BG-57]

I think you're correct with the safe reference but a quantity no longer possessed sounds an awful lot like the Lost Number monster that guards the safe.

[Gennosuke]

:eek: :eek: :eek: BG-57 is bang on the money, i didnt think it would be that easy, LOL!!!Man that one seriously sucked:tongue: , so its back to you BG-57.

[BG-57]

Weimar Pluto Knight VII, would like to take the next riddle? You did half the work.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Hmm ok. Sorry for not being on for a day.

West is my German home
Where people hear I eat little at a time.

Northwest is where I go to win her over.
She happens to be Thai.

Northeast is where I shall receive Reconciliation.
But that won't be for another four years.

South is where I shall visit a monument
That was built there in memory of its Jewish people.

Finally I'll end up north of here.
Something worse than death will happen to me here.

Where am I?

Couple of clarifications: I don't need where I end up, just where I am before going anywhere, and each stanza compares some place with the starting place, in other words, where I end up is north of where I started, not north of the place in the stanza right before.

[Juggernaut]

I know this makes NO sense, but for reason, I'd like to say:

Either The Temple of The Ancient, or Midgar.

Or maybe Temple of Ancient was built in spite of 'Jewish' people.
(Probably a group symbolizing Jews.)

Oh, or Chocobo.

[Gennosuke]

Sooooo many places to choose. ill go with Junon first i think.

[Sephitachi7]

My First guess was Junon, but since that's already taken I'll go with Cosmo Canyon.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

Is it costa del sol?

West is my German home --> neibelheim is west of it, and it is cloud's bitrth town
Where people hear I eat little at a time.

Northwest is where I go to win her over. --> not sure on this one, maybe wutai?
She happens to be Thai.

Northeast is where I shall receive Reconciliation. -->Midgar,where cloud is found by Tifa and ff begins
But that won't be for another four years. --> 4 yrs after the neibelheim incident

South is where I shall visit a monument --> maybe temple of the ancients
That was built there in memory of its Jewish people.

Finally I'll end up north of here.
Something worse than death will happen to me here. --> city of the ancients, where aerith dies

the location could also be somewhere near costa del sol, so i'm gonna go ahead and say gold saucer and north corel as well for good measure :D

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Sorry guys, I'm supposed to get emails when people post and for some reason that service turned off again. Nope, not Costa del Sol.

Yes, the first couplet mentions Nibelheim b/c heim is german for home and nibel sounds like nibble.

Yes, the second couplet is Wutai b/c wu sounds like woo and tai sounds like Thai.

No, the next stanza does not refer to Midgar. Like the rest of the stanzas, I made up puns, but this one is kinda tricky since you have to know about FFX. Even if you aren't familiar with that game enough, you should be able to figure it out from the rest of the stanzas, but if you figure this one out, you'll be like "oh, I know what to guess now."

No, again think of puns. The next stanza doesn't have to do with the temple of the ancients.

Yes, the last stanza does refer to the city of the ancients, also known as the forgotten capital. (Being forgotten is worse than death.) I guess this stanza was unusual since you weren't supposed to use puns to get the location.

[footem]

If south is Junon Harbour (Jew souns like Ju) and the place of reconcilliation is Kalm (as in the calm from FFX), could the answer be midgar?

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Yes, the pun of Junon is that it sounds like "Jew none," and yes the answer is Midgar. You're up footem.

[footem]

Well mines nowhere near as clever but here goes!


I'm eco friendly
And my mother was a good sort
I've a head for heights
And not easily caught

[BG-57]

The Pheonix hatchling?

[Rantz]

You mean condor, right? :)

[BG-57]

It sure acted like a Pheonix. :p

[Aerith's Knight]

leviatan?

[sub zero]

aeris

[footem]

no, but condor is the warmest so far in terms of creature type

[Juggernaut]

White Chocobo or Gold Chocobo?

I'm eco friendly --> Uhh...most animals are.
And my mother was a good sort --> Mother had to be pretty good!
I've a head for heights --> Flying skillez.
And not easily caught --> Self explanatory.

[Sephitachi7]

Sounds like a green chocobo to me.

[footem]

yes green chocobo is right. Eco friendly as in green. You need one good chocobo as a parent. You can't catch green ones (only yellow), and head for heights as they can climb mountains. Your Go!:p

[Juggernaut]

SPOONY BARDS!!! :mog:

[Sephitachi7]

A power that seems to overflow.
And a cloud looms over as if it had wings.
Then with an ability from out of this world,
all my enemies are crushed with a single swing.

[Aerith's Knight]

[Aerith's Knight]

[Aerith's Knight]

deadline is up..

hmmm.. lets see..

standing firm and tall as ever,
the winding road seemed to go on forever.
one small gesture and it was done,
all hope gone, vamoosh, begone.

[Seal Evil]

The only thing that comes to mind is the Shinra Building, but apart from standing firm and tall, I can't explain why the other clues relate to it. :lol: Probably because they don't. :lol:

The word 'vamoosh' makes me laugh. :)

[Aerith's Knight]

nope.. ill give ya one clue

Its in midgar

if thats not enough ill change one word in the riddle..

but that would make it ridiculously easy :p

[ReloadPsi]

Motor Ball.

[Aerith's Knight]

nope

[Relapse]

First post, OMG.

Sister Ray?

[Aerith's Knight]

nope not the sister ray

standing firm and tall as ever,
the stairs seemed to go on forever.
one small gesture and it was done,
all hope gone, vamoosh, begone.

ok here is the tip.. i changed one word and you have to guess it now

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

the stairwell in the shinra tower?

[Aerith's Knight]

nope

[Dragon Mage]

okay....

hmm

The stairs of the support pillar in the sector 7 slums?

standing firm and tall as ever,............................Support pillar holds up the plate
the winding road seemed to go on forever............Has a crap load of stair going up to it.
one small gesture and it was done,
all hope gone, vamoosh, begone.........................One simple press of a button and the whole sector 7 is gone, crushed, everyone dead. No stopping it.

[Aerith's Knight]

close.. but its not the stairs itself

its an event

[Dragon Mage]

okay fine, when the pillar itself explodes?

[Aerith's Knight]

finally.. yes.. i made it easy enough =)

ok your turn

[Dragon Mage]

Yay!!

:D awesome. Unfortunately, I must get off line now. Garunteed by the 26th max, I'll have a riddle up to boogle you all!

Happy Holidays!!

[Dragon Mage]

Okay I lied. :D I got the poem now, and I've usurped my brother's laptop to put it on here for y'all. Here it is!

Soft and blinding, so very quiet,
Dancing with such deadly grace.
With a whisper and a dream,
Death comes in on silent wings.

Good luck!

[Aerith's Knight]

tifa's ultimate limit break?.. i think its called final heaven..

never saw it.. but i thought it might be a good guess :p

otherwise.. how about Shiva?

[Dragon Mage]

Nope!

you're way off. I could give you a clue but that'd completely blow it away. ;) ask if you need it!

[Relapse]

hm... how about... sudden death?

(ok i know my guess is kinda lame, but what're you gonna do about it? ;))

[Dragon Mage]

Nope! way way off. Try again please!

[Aerith's Knight]

the murder of Aeris?

[Caveroamer]

Holy?

or Vincent?

[Dragon Mage]

Nope

Nope.

Nope.

Repost:

[Relapse]

chaos?

[Caveroamer]

Ultima Weapon?

[Dragon Mage]

No

wow. it's guess time. It isn't an object. it isn't a limit break. it isn't an event.

this is a LOT of clues.

[Relapse]

Safer Sephiroth?

Deathblow?

Bahamut?

[Rantz]

You're not really allowed to have more than one guess per post.

[Aerith's Knight]

are you sure its not aeris getting stabbed by sephiroth?

[Relapse]

You're not really allowed to have more than one guess per post.

oh sorry then. then take SS as my guess.


are you sure its not aeris getting stabbed by sephiroth?


well he said it wasnt an event :-\

[Comet]

is it death sentence?

[Aerith's Knight]

phoenix? or phoenix down?

[Sephitachi7]

did anyone already say Odin? If not then Odin.

[The Majestic]

People.. Its sephiroth himself.. One winged Angel

Soft and blinding, so very quiet, - he can be very quiet and blinding
Dancing with such deadly grace. - He basically has deadly grace
With a whisper and a dream,- Cloud keeps getting whispers and dreams from him
Death comes in on silent wings. - The one winged angel.. the death God basically

Well, I DID already say it... (well, kinda, as in safer sephiroth, who's the one-winged angel anyway.)

DRAGON MAGE! TELL ME THAT I'M RIGHT _NAO_!!!!! :D

[The Majestic]

ya I believe your right Zack..

[Relapse]

we'll just have to wait for DM, then i guess.

[Kai McCloud]

well while we wait does anyone mind if i do one?

I am not found
I can not be bought
I am all powerfull
what am I?

[Aerith's Knight]

ALL master materia?

[Kai McCloud]

No, I'll give you a clue.

I can only be used by one person.

[Gennosuke]

Holy materia??

[demondude]

The buster sword? xD

[Kai McCloud]

Nope but Demon Dude is close.

[Caveroamer]

Masamune

[Relapse]

Ultima Weapon?

It COULD be ANY weapon y'know since everyone uses a unique weapon type.

[leader of mortals]

its definetly masamune

[The Majestic]

Okay we have two riddles on wait here.. maybe we should wait for Dragon Mage...

[Dragon Mage]

HEY! There's a riddle going on already! Sorry for being gone so long, I went to visit my grandmother (who lives in the middle of nowhere) and she has no internet and her computer is shot to boot.

As for your guesses, no, none of them are correct.

And I am a She, zack_fair. :P

Repost:

Soft and blinding, so very quiet,
Dancing with such deadly grace.
With a whisper and a dream,
Death comes in on silent wings.

And another clue for y'all.
'wings' is a personification.

[Aerith's Knight]

holy was said right?

how about the weapon lifestream?

[The Majestic]

Is it Aeris Limit move... or She herself.

[Aerith's Knight]

silent evil limit break?

[Dragon Mage]

No. None.

[The Majestic]

*sigh * This is hard.. i can't think of anything... I alway's end up answering the " Riddle Master " material riddles... and Dragon Mage... You've got me addicted to the little hammer dude :p

[Relapse]

OMGWTF?!?! NONE?!?!

I give up on that one.

As for the other one.

I'm not gonna post too soon ;P

[Dragon Mage]

Geez! Calm down, Zacky! I'll give y'all another clue. Maybe you want to get BG-57.... this'd be right up his alley. He makes riddles like this a lot.

Anywho, the riddle speaks of something that eventually occurs in the game at one certain point. You run around a lot and *this* happens. but that is NOT what the riddle is about. This may be vague, but once you figure it out, you'll know how big a clue this is.

P.S. I know, isn't that smiley awesome Majestic? :D

[Aerith's Knight]

black materia?

[BG-57]

I'm game for a challenge. :D

Okay, so it's neither an object, limit break, nor an event.

So it could be a monster, person, spell, or location. I'm not sure whether weapons and armor could be included as objects.

It sounds like an enemy, a boss by the sound of it. One that can fly perhaps?

Hmm...is it the helicopter machine that the party fights on the Shinra elevator? :plotting:

[Rantz]

I'm guessing Chocobuckle.

Soft and blinding, so very quiet,
Dancing with such deadly grace. - The chocobo can be said to dance. Gracefully, well... :rolleyes2
With a whisper and a dream,
Death comes in on silent wings. - The chocobo doesn't exactly use its wings.

Lines 1 and 3 are a bit iffy, but they're not specific enough to disprove it either.

[Halenite]

Well, with wings being a personification, and you already said it's part of the story, I'm wondering if it's the laser (or whatever) that pierces Diamond Weapon the the Barrier at the Northern Crater.

that OR, it could be the highwind transforming after the final battle.


As for Kai's, definately Masamune or Meteor (Black Materia)

[Dragon Mage]

Phew, Finally! Somone realized what a personification was.

Note: Events cannot be personified becuase they are events.

BG-57, you're on the right track. But it isn't an object at all. Maybe this will help narrow it down.

Soft and blinding, so very quiet,
Dancing with such deadly grace.

These two lines are descriptive. The object of the riddle appears to be dancing, but isn't really, becuase it is inanimate.

With a whisper and a dream,
Death comes in on silent wings.

These two lines don't describe the object itself but rather the effect it has on the characters at one point in the game (note: this effect does not always occur, it depends). No, it is not magic, I'll say that right off.

Remember, 'wings' is a personification, but it gives you a sense of where the riddle object comes from.

So, in summary, what comes down from the sky but doesn't have wings, affects the chars (that could've resulted in death) and is inanimate, but not really an object per se?

This is a huge amount of clues. Guess more. :P

[Aerith's Knight]

Fat chocobo? xD jk

A Jenova piece?

[Dragon Mage]

NO. The object of this riddle is not organic.

nother clue.

Look to the northern part of the map.

[Rantz]

The Icicle "enemies"?

[Caveroamer]

Snow?

[Aerith's Knight]

the attack.. silent cross?.. the one with the ice crystals falling down?

[Jiro]

Is it Meteor? Thats all i can think off. Sorry if its already been guessed.

[Dragon Mage]

And we have a winner!!

Caveroamer, you are correct! The answer is SNOW!!

Soft and blinding, so very quiet,
Dancing with such deadly grace.
With a whisper and a dream,
Death comes in on silent wings.

Can you see it now?

Caveroamer, it's your turn!

[Aerith's Knight]

my answer wouldve been way better :(

[Dragon Mage]

Not to say your answer was very close, Aerith's Knight, and you had the perfect idea. Just not the correct one. I'm sorry. You made some very good guesses, as did you all.

It occured to me that I didn't really give an explanation for my riddle. I'll give it anywho, just if anyone was curious.

Soft and blinding, so very quiet,.....Snow makes no sound as it falls, unlike rain.
Dancing with such deadly grace......Wind tends to swirl the snow about quite a bit.
With a whisper and a dream,..........If exposed to long to the cold, one gets tired and falls asleep. Eventually, a person will freeze to death as they sleep.
Death comes in on silent wings.......self explanatory.

[Caveroamer]

Well here it goes...


How long do i have to wait
Sitting in this chair
Facing my Fate
As miasma
Fills the Air

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Tifa?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

specifically in the torture room in junon :D if thats right weimar can take it ;)

[Aerith's Knight]

hmm yeah.. that or marlene sitting in that tower

[Caveroamer]

Torture Room in Junon is correct

[thegirth]

lets hear it weimar

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

ugh subscription got turned off again ><

You need not fight us
But spoils we possess despite.
Collect one
Then face our blue counterparts.
and finally collect the other.

[Aerith's Knight]

WEAPON?

[ReloadPsi]

The red Shinra soldiers? You get a 1/35 Soldier (which is red) early on, then fight a whole load of blue guys before you ever find a second... I think. Maybe.

[Aerith's Knight]

The red Shinra soldiers? You get a 1/35 Soldier (which is red) early on, then fight a whole load of blue guys before you ever find a second... I think. Maybe.

I think there are three 1/35 soldiers, im almost positive.. or was it seven? :s

[Dragon Mage]

.....
.....
.....
.....
.....
Are we going to have an answer soon?
....
....

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Yes b/c I decided to check the thread w/o waiting for an email. Nope, all wrong. "fighting soldiers" is on the right track.

[.:kerrod:.]

im almost positive there's 12...

as for the riddle...im stumped...is it definitely something to do with soldiers?

[BG-57]

Is the guys you can fight on the sub? I think you can steal Shinra Beta from them and later steal Shinra Alpha from Soldiers 1rst Class at the Sister Ray.

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

No, by spoils mean you shouldn't have to steal from them, and all you have to do is examine them.

REPOST:

[Caveroamer]

Huge Materia Fights at Fort Condor and North Corel?

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

No, there's a point in the game where you do exactly what they're telling you. The answer is who the "us" is in the riddle.

[Aerith's Knight]

the boss in the safe in shinra mansion?

oowww.. wait i get it.. its the optional WEAPONS

the stuff you collect is for the Kalm traveler

[Caveroamer]

Is it the Rufus Parade in Junon with the T.V Rating thing and you get a grenade or potion etc, then at the Boat you press the corresponding buttons to get over 100 points to get Clouds Weapon the Force Stealer

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

No. Ok, change the word "face" to "fight." That should help!

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

maybe the final optional confrontation with the turks?

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

No. A lot closer to the beginning of the game. Sorry, the subscribing things tends to not work so that's why I've been sporadic on here.

[musenji]

Hey, been a while since I was here... and been a long while since I played the game. So I'll just try to help out. He said soldiers is on the right track, and whatever the answer is, gives you the "spoils" without a fight. It could be animate or inanimate. And then later you fight the same type of thing, but blue. Obviously whatever you fight is animate..

My guess is that the answer is soldiers that for some reason just give you an item, without a fight. Maybe you talk to them, maybe they're knocked out and you steal the item, and either way you end up fighting some blue soldiers later.

I'd give a specific guess but it's been so long that I can't remember such a thing happening. If this sparks anyone's memory, by all means, guess! :D

[edit] Okay, a rudimentary guess: someone in the beginner's hall that you talk to and gives you an item?

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Nope. Before the Beginner's Hall.

[Caveroamer]

The 2 red soldier's that get knocked out by Jessie and Biggs after they jump off of the train at the beginning of the game?

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

Yes, caveroamer is correct!

[Caveroamer]

Power we give
But to only those
that have the will
to command us

[musenji]

Hmm, seems like it could be a few things. I'll go the almost-literal route and guess "summons".

[Aerith's Knight]

the master materia?

[Caveroamer]

Nope both wrong


but it is some kind of materia though

[Weimar Pluto Knight VII]

command materia?

[musenji]

I was thinking "us" might be the enemies who give you skills, but only if you control them. You have to control the enemies with Manipulate, with E.Skill equipped.

..But you said the answer was a type of materia itself, so I'm unsure about that..

[edit] Command! That's the name of the materia with manipulate...k so I was just sitting here on the reply option for...obviously over 30 minutes. XD

[Caveroamer]

Nope both wrong








Only 2 people use these 2 kind of materia

[musenji]

black and white materia?

[Caveroamer]

black and white materia?

BINGO!

Your turn

[musenji]

From light to darkness
A Freudian misnomer
Now hears voices speak

Helpless to cease them
She murders twice but brings hope
A new path opened

[Sephitachi7]

I may not even be close but I'll go with Jenova

[musenji]

nope, not Jenova.

[Cledarius]

i don't know exactly why but i think it may be Sephiroths sword.
Mostly because of the "she murders twice" Sephiroth kills two people with his sword, Aerith and President Shinra.

[musenji]

nope, not Sephiroth's sword.

repost (for new page):


from light to darkness
a Freudian misnomer
now hears voices speak

helpless to cease them
she murders twice but brings hope
a new path opened

[Sephitachi7]

Aeris?

Hears voices speak, and freudian misnomer kinda go with her since is was meant to be Aerith and she hears the planet's voice.

[musenji]

nope, not Aeris.

[Sephitachi7]

Sister Ray?

'she murders twice but brings hope'
Murders 2 WEAPONs

'a new path opened'
Destroys shield at Nothern Cave.

[musenji]

yep!

"from light to darkness" -- moved from Junon to Midgar
"Freudian misnomer" -- named sister ray, but Freud would've said guns are phallic
"now hears voices speak" -- during the Midgar firing sequence, you can actually hear voices. It's the only time in the game when you can, I believe.
"helpless to cease them" -- obviously "she" is not in control of her actions, and can't stop the orders

you're up!

[Rantz]

Nice riddle. :up:

[Sephitachi7]

Awesome!

Ok here's my riddle.

A power that seems to overflow.
And a cloud looms over as if it had wings.
Then with an ability from out of this world,
all my enemies are crushed with a single swing.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

the iron ginat in northern cave? it's a lot taller than ur party (looms over) and it's sword swing hits all ur party

[Sephitachi7]

No, not Iron Giant.

[Dragon Mage]

It really reminds me of Odin. But that'd be too easy.

[Sephitachi7]

Not Odin.

[Cledarius]

My guess is Vincent's last limit form.

[Sephitachi7]

Nope, but getting warmer.

[Caveroamer]

Bahamut Zero?

[Sephitachi7]

I could see why you would say that but no, not Bahamut ZERO.

Update because it's a new page here's the riddle,

A power that seems to overflow.
And a cloud looms over as if it had wings.
Then with an ability from out of this world,
all my enemies are crushed with a single swing.

and it is not:

Iron Giant in Northern Cave,
Odin,
Vincent's last Limit Break (this was warmer though),
and Bahamut ZERO.

[thegirth]

is it Alexander?

[Rantz]

Omnislash?

A power that seems to overflow. -> The many hits before the last
And a cloud looms over as if it had wings. -> Cloud rises into the air
Then with an ability from out of this world,
all my enemies are crushed with a single swing. -> The final hit, which usually ends the fight

[Sephitachi7]

Not Alexander and not Omnislash, but Omnislash is very close.

P.S. If it is not guessed by tommorrow I will tweak the riddle and make it MUCH easier. Not a big tweak either. :)

[BG-57]

Meteor Rain?

[Rantz]

Seems likely, but in case it isn't right: Blade Beam?

[Sephitachi7]

I think it is actually Meteorain. But...

BG-57 is right!

A power that seems to overflow. -> Limit Break

And a cloud looms over as if it had wings. -> Cloud jumps and hovers in the air.

Then with an ability from out of this world, -> They are meteors.

all my enemies are crushed with a single swing. -> Cloud swings his sword once and the meteors come down.

BTW the tweak I was going to do was change the second line from

And a cloud looms over as if it had wings.

to

And Cloud looms over as if he had wings.

Your turn BG-57

[Rantz]

Grangalan?

[Caveroamer]

Bahamut?

[Sephitachi7]

Bahamut sounds like it's right...

but I'll go with meteor just in case.

[BG-57]

Grangalan?

Nope, although I see where you're coming from.


Bahamut?

Bahamut helps to answer one of the lines, but he's not the final answer.


Bahamut sounds like it's right...

but I'll go with meteor just in case.

Not meteor.

[Cledarius]

Hmm, maybe the huge materia you receive Bahamut from

[BG-57]

It's not huge materia.

[Sephitachi7]

Bahamut ZERO?

[BG-57]

Repost:

Bahamut Zero partially answers the same line as Bahamut.

[thegirth]

well he said not named yet famous, so i'm gonna guess "the guy that are sick"

[Sephitachi7]

Hmm... I have no clue... dragon?

[BG-57]

well he said not named yet famous, so i'm gonna guess "the guy that are sick"

Nope. The answer has a definate name. It's just not mentioned in the game.


Hmm... I have no clue... dragon?

Yes, dragons are what the answer was named for.

[Sephitachi7]

More clues maybe? I'm totally oblivious as to what it is, and it seems everyone else might also be.

[BG-57]

The answer is mythical.

[Sephitachi7]

a mythical dragon? lol I'm still lost, I'll leave it to someone else.

[BG-57]

Not quite. The answer is mythical and named after dragons.

[Juggernaut]

I'm just gonna go for a guess here.....

Those guys in the robots that take you down in to the desert prison?

I think there were 3 of them......idk.

[leader of mortals]

The rocket in rocket town?

[Light Mage]

Ragnorok?

[BG-57]

No to all.

I'm going to say Behemoth although the first line confuses me with this.

it depends on how you look at it. You say that the answer is named but not "mentioned" in game, which could reference to the fact it is not said in the dialogue itself. As Behemoth is an enemy which we encounter in disc 3 but is famous as it is widely used in a lot of the final fantasies.

3 Orbs my Namesake - The 3 orbs would reference to Bahamut, Neo Bahamut and Bahamut Zero. The Bahamut creature is a mythical creature "altered" from the original Behemoth creature. :

"In Jorge Luis Borges' Book of Imaginary Beings, Bahamut is a beast of Arabic mythology "altered and magnified"[1] from Behemoth"

Say hello to my friends. -

I'd say that "my friends" could either reference to the Bahamuts, or possibly the predecessors/successors/variations of Behemoth in future and past FF's. Such as - King Behemoth/Sr.Behemoth, Intangir, Catoplebas & Azul the Cerulean.

Still I get the last word.

I'm unsure of this one but it could be referenced to Behemoth being the main name / the connection between all these characters including Bahamut.

The only thing that really confuses me though is that the answer is named for dragons. Well Bahamut is named as the King of Dragons, but the name Bahamut was created from Behemoth which was actually a large and most powerful creature, but not actually detailing him as a dragon.

Sorry if I'm wrong, I just did a lil bit of research and found a connection between bahamut and behemoth so yeah :P I decided to answer.

[BG-57]

It's not Behemoth, but researching mythology will help a lot with this one.

[Lenna]

Not named yet famous - King Arthur (a famous MYTHICAL king of Britain).. We see him in the game but he is not named. Only the summon magic itself is named.

3 Orbs my namesake - Bahamut was known as the King of Dragons, so he himself is named a king, same as King Arthur.

Say hello to my friends - The Knights of the Round show all of the knights one by one as they slash the enemy.

Still I get the last say - King Arthur is the final knight that gives the finishing blow to the enemy with Excalibur in his hand.

:) So yeah, King Arthur is the answer, I think :)

[BG-57]

Correct, the answer is King Arthur Pendragon.

The reasoning was a little off, but you got there in the end. :)

I Hold My Head High,

Been years since I done this, but good luck.

[Sephitachi7]

Hmm... haven't given it much thought but maybe WEAPONs?

[Lenna]

nope although 1 line refers to one of them

[Rantz]

Is it Sister Ray?

I Hold My Head High,
In Velvet's Light's End
Might have something to do with the FMV(s?) where it appears in Midgar? I don't have the FMVs in fresh memory so I'm unsure.

Those That Approach,
For Me, A Victorious Kill.
Shoots the WEAPONs who approach the cities where it resides.

As Protectors of Life
Turn Against Us,
I Hold The Fate,
Of All God's Network.
As the WEAPONs attack, Sister Ray protects Midgar.

The reasoning might not be bulletproof but hey :P If it's not right, does the first letter capitalization have any relevance?

[Lenna]

you're right, it is sister ray but the first 2 lines was merely an outside link to it. Velvet Underground did a song called Sister Ray which appeared as the ending track on "White Light/White Heat" so those 2 lines were in reference to it. :)

Your go :P

[Rantz]

Nice :jess:

I'll let someone else go. I don't mind you doing another one either :p

[Sephitachi7]

Lol this one's a give away but I'll say it anyway.

Rub-a-dub dub.
Cloud, me, and 20 other men in a tub.

Who am I?

[BG-57]

Mukki?

[Sephitachi7]

Lol of course Mukki.

[BG-57]

Ecce homo
But not as much
An octet of music
Provides a requiem

[Sephitachi7]

Vincent?

[BG-57]

It's related to him.

[thegirth]

is it vincents theme

[BG-57]

Nope.

[Dragon Mage]

Hmm.... Cerberus? The music needed to calm the beast, I'm guessing would be the octet?

[Dragon Mage]

Cerberus?

The octet being music that puts Cerberus to sleep?

[BG-57]

It's not Cerberus, but you're getting close.

>.< Sorry about the double post. My computer was messing up again. *kicks computer*

Er.... hint? Is this a specific scene we're looking at here?

[Aerith's Knight]

Vincent's theme?

[BG-57]

>.< Sorry about the double post. My computer was messing up again. *kicks computer*

Er.... hint? Is this a specific scene we're looking at here?

It's something similar to Cerberus.


Vincent's theme?

Still no.

[thegirth]

is it Dirge of Cerberus?

[Dragon Mage]

Dang it! >< Mah reply was stolen! D:

[thegirth]

lol, sorry

[BG-57]

No.

[Aerith's Knight]

dirge of cerebus isnt FFVII.. so that would never be the case.. you cant really use something from cerebus here..

Music from the music box?

[BG-57]

Nope.

It's not from DoC, but it is similar to Vincent's Cerberus.

[Idaho]

Let me give it a try

Ecce homo
But not as much --> Sephiroth


An octet of music
Provides a requiem --> the choir that sings One Winged Angel

One Winged Angel?

[BG-57]

No, it's not a song.

[thegirth]

oooohhhh i think i got it this time, would it be Death Penalty

[BG-57]

Correct!

Ecce homo ('Behold the man' Vincent is a man.)
But not as much (Vincent says 'I'm getting less human' when you give him Chaos)
An octet of music (Death Penalty has eight materia slots)
Provides a requiem (Requiem is music for a funeral)

Your go, thegirth! :)

[thegirth]
