FFX riddles

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

tromell?

[jaketidus]

lord jysical? or however its spelled

[TheSpoonyBard]

Not Trommel or Lord Jyscal.

[BG-57]

Is the answer even a Guado? Seymour's half human as well.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yes, the answer is a Guado.

[BG-57]

Noy Guado, the goalie for the Glories?

[TheSpoonyBard]

No, but very close.

[BG-57]

Pah Guado?

[TheSpoonyBard]

No, but still close.

[BG-57]

So it's either one of the other four Glories, or the free agent Guado.

Auda Guado?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Not Auda or Anima.

[BG-57]

Navara Guado?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Correct.

I was basing it on one of his quotes. "No one shall lord over the Guado but me! Mwahahaha!"

[BG-57]

Ah.

Mega dra Guado lummync

[TheSpoonyBard]

The Al Bhed's goggles/facemasks?

[BG-57]

Lunnald! Ouin dinh ForestOwl. :cool:

[TheSpoonyBard]

Dryhgc. E fych'd duu cina ypuid dra mycd dfu mehac.

In the beginning of the end,
Behind the squares, six,
You'll go twice as far with me,
The most judicial of sticks.

[BG-57]

Oayr, dra kukkmac reta draen tecdehldeja aoac, pid uhmo Al Bhed daht du fayn dras, cu ed kejac dras yfyo.

Is it the Magistral Rod treasure from Zanarkand Temple?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Oh, I see now. Good ol' paradox.

Yes, it is the Magistral Rod.

[BG-57]

This ten-petaled flower
Made out of metal
Bloomed for a short time
Before it was plucked

[abrojtm]

Oblitzerator?

(Is that the right name?) The boss that you fight in Luca on the ship =\.

[BG-57]

Good guess, but no.

[Halenite]

Maybe the Flower Scepter?

[BG-57]

Not the Flower Scepter.

[Eiko Guy]

can we get a hint as whos wrong or right at least
:confused:

[abrojtm]

Man I thought it made perfect sense.

This ten-petaled flower It had a lot of little ends on it
Made out of metal Obviously made of metal-it's machina.
Bloomed for a short time Well if Bloomed includes shooting blitzballs
Before it was plucked You pluck it with the crane

Bah.

Second Guess:
Sinspawn Geneaux

[BG-57]

eiko guy, I did say the first two guesses were incorrect. Or do you mean you want a hint?

abrojtm, your first answer did fit; it's just I had something else in mind when I wrote it.

It's not Sinspawn Geneaux.

[Psydekick]

Those little machina you fight in luca.

[BG-57]

Nope. A lot bigger.

[Lost Number]

That under water machina at the Moonflow?

[BG-57]

Bigger.

[princess_yunie_10]

Could it be a machina city before Sin destroyed 'em?

[BG-57]

You're half right.

[ffxfreak93]

zanarkand?

[BG-57]

It's a different machina city.

[jaketidus]

The sunken city you see as you are passing the moonflow?

[BG-57]

Not the Moonflow city.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Besaid?

[BG-57]

Nope.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Bevelle?

[BG-57]

Not Bevelle.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Hmph.

The ruins at the bottom of Lake Macalania?

[BG-57]

I must say I'm impressed with your knowledge of Spira's ruins. But this city was ruined more recently.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Thanks.

Home?

[BG-57]

http://rikku.org/home.jpg

Your go. :)

[TheSpoonyBard]

Slipping slowly into time,
Only a few still utter a line,
As the old grow older,
My memory grows colder.

[Paninipower123]

The Hymn of the Faith?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Not the Hymn of the Fayth.

[obsessed_wif_yuna]

pyreflies?? i dnt noe...

[obsessed_wif_yuna]

actually...you said no to the HYMN of the fayth. is it just the fayth?

[TheSpoonyBard]

It isn't pyreflies or the Fayth.

[Paninipower123]

That bird-face in Macalania Forest?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nope.

Hint: The answer is something that is intangible.

[abrojtm]

Maechen's knowledge?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Not Maechen's knowledge.

[WaZzUp]

I'd guess it's the history of Spira, as people forgets as they grow older and that few seems to remember the past of Spira.

[Paninipower123]

Something to do with Mt Gagazet? I dont know. I'm stumped. :confused:

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

auron?

[TheSpoonyBard]

It has been a while and noone has guessed it correctly, so someone else can post a riddle. The answer to mine was the old Guado language.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

i never knew there was an old guado language, oh well

this world is real
this world is not
where do i belong
where do i live

who am i?

[mj05]

Tidus?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

nice shot! correct!!!

[Tabris]

I apologize for being off-topic, but where have you heard about an old Guado language?!

[mj05]

Anyone can go next...im no good at riddles! lol

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

old guado language is spoken by a couple guados in a house in guadosalam.

[Paninipower123]

It is?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yes. Go to the eastern-most house in Guadosalam and talk to the NPC in green.

Here's a quick riddle to keep things going.

You shall not speak
You shall not see
I can be defeated easily
If you use the machine on me.

Who am I?

[Paninipower123]

Evrae?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nope, but it is a boss.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

oblitzerator?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yea, you got it.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

im not good at riddles you can do another one...

[TheSpoonyBard]

This one's not particularly good.

A brother's mistake
A fear of the plain
Vision through spirals
Persecution of a name

Who am I?

[Fireblade13]

Calm Lands?

[TheSpoonyBard]

The Calm Lands isn't a who.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

rikku of course spiral pupils fear of thunder plains ^,^ her brother screws up persecuted cuz of al bhednes

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yep. You can make a riddle now. I don't want to make a third.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

ok i really suck at this stuff and this is going to be terrible but what the heck ill give it a shot...

I bring suffering to many,
Joy to few.
I bring him to life,
So he can love you.

yeah sry that sucks but whatever try to guess it...

[TheSpoonyBard]

I think 'he' is Tidus, 'you' is Yuna, but I'm not certain who 'I' is. I'm thinking Yu Yevon/Sin for the first two lines and the Fayth for the last two.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

yeah you got it ... it was meant to be yu yevon but i had some trouble thinking of a rhyme

[TheSpoonyBard]

I'll pass my turn to whoever wants it.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

Easy to obtain,
yet trials you must sustain.
At the city of betrayal,
my powers are unveiled.

This one is crappy and easy but i just want to keep this thread alive cuz its fun

[BG-57]

I'm pretty sure it's an Aeon.

Bahamut?

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

yep you do one now

[BG-57]

Sure.

Fill one container from another
But first walk through the portal
Ten times is enough
To meet your future

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

ummm the crystals before braska's fina aeon?

[BG-57]

It's not the crystals.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

hint plz?

oh wait is it something about the 10 aeons?

[BG-57]

It's a type of item.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

the 10 items you get from the crystals before fightning braskas final aeon lol?

this is hard i dont know what you mean by pour one container from another

[BG-57]

It's an item you need ten of for customizing.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Door to Tomorrow?

[BG-57]

Correct ForestOwl! :)

You need ten of them cutomize Overdrive -> AP.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

i was thinking of that but i didnt think it fit with fill one container from another and walk through the portal O_O

[TheSpoonyBard]

I guess the containers were Overdrive bar and AP amount. Portal is another way of saying door.

Easily defeated yet never yielding
A fraction of an endless power
Find me in the beginning and the end
Our downfall may also be yours.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

Sin right doesnt stop but can be killed with final aeon?
downfall is also tidus's?

[TheSpoonyBard]

That's not it. I like your thinking though.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

thx lol it fits sin pretty well considering he is pretty easy to beat but he supposedly never stops coming back and he is in the begingin and end of the game and its downfall is also tidus's

[starseeker]

The fayth?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Not the Fayth.

[mj05]

is it the aeons themselves?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nope. It is something much smaller from the beginning of the game.

[mj05]

yep, i cant see your hint...maybe i should just stop guessing cuz i suck at making riddles and just pass my turn! lol

[abrojtm]

Any of the "Element" monsters?

[TheSpoonyBard]

I made the hint the same way people make spoilers. Highlight it and all will become clear. It isn't an Element monster.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

what's the riddle?

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

argh this one is tough you suggest it isnt sin but sin fits it so well... hmm...

is it... Sin scales? or Sin spawn?

[abrojtm]

Why does the riddle change from singular in the first three lines, but plural in the last line. Is this intentional?

Is the answer Kimarhi?

[a nirvana fan]

I'm not here to guess, I'm here to say sorry as I have made another topic the exact same in this forum without noticing.

[BG-57]

Is it Geosgaeno, that aquatic monster that Tidus has to battle in Baaj temple near the beginning? The party has the option of going back and defeating it near the end of the game.

[TheSpoonyBard]

is it... Sin scales?
Correct.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

i posted this one in the other thread like this but nobody got it so ill see if you can get this...


Famous in his time,
Infamous in the present.
Loved by society,
But also resented.

its kinda vague/tuff

[Remon]

Auron????

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

somewhat close

[Remon]

Braska???
If i find it you can continue because i'm not good at making riddles.though i'm sure i've not found it

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

your getting further from it

[Chloe.]

Jecht?

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

yes

[Chloe.]

someone else can go..........i'm rubbish at making riddles...........

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

ill post one that kinda sucks and feel free to skip it

The destruction of one race,
Brings on the banishment of another.
Only he can control the spiral of death,
Though he himself has been consumed by it.

might be tough

sry i g2g soon try to guess while im gone and ill be back to veryify later or skip it...

[Tabris]

Seymour?

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

yes

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

exceeding limitations
beyond health and mind
protection from the sick
for the yellow warrior

what is this?

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

can i get a hint? im guessing not though.

[TheSpoonyBard]

I think its an armour with BHPL, BMPL, Auto-Protect and Auto-Potion

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

the yellow warrior thing throws me off.

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

armor with BHPL BMPL auto-med and lightning ward/proof/eater

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

I see, that just might be it!

[Paninipower123]

Automatic for Wakka?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

ur all on the rite lines, jus don't be so specific with auto abilities

[Tabris]

Have the rules changed in this game? I just wonder, since someone else started a new riddle about four hours after I answered correctly? I thought the limit was 24 hours.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

I guess it doesn't matter. Once somenone answers the last riddle correctly another riddle is posted.

[Paninipower123]

Yeah, that is how it supposed to work.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

ok i'll sort my thread out

1. you may only post a new riddle if u correctly answered the previous riddle
2. if the person who correctly answered the previous riddle has not poseted a new riddle within 24 hours, anyone may set the new riddle
3. if the person who answered the previous riddle states so, anyone may post a new riddle before the 24 hour limit is over
4. only 1 riddle may be posted at a time

well, now that we're all sorted lets get back to the matter at hand.

exceeding limitations
beyond health and mind
protection from the sick
for the yellow warrior

ur rite with BHPL and BMPL, think protection from the sick (i.e stat effects) and yellow warrior is a specific character. i am looking for the name of the piece of armour.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

for the status effect im guessing ribbon. for the yellow warrior...i'm lost. the armor is a big one since there is a large variety of names.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Indomitable

[Tabris]

Could Tidus be the yellow warrior? Meaning the armour is for him?

Thanks for sorting out the rules, devil's phoenix - I thought I had misunderstood something.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

forestowl is on the right lines but has the wrong name. sorry for being so strict

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

its Tidus's BHPL BMPL auto-med/ribbon armor but i dont know the name of it... id guess it ends in ____ Shield though.... Indomitable Shield? Unstoppable Shield? Invincible Shield?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Endless Road?

[IpwnUthisMuch|------|]

argh this is so unfair i have the U.S. version so i can never get a ribbon > < waita cheat us americans out of the riddlicious fun

[TheSpoonyBard]

Looks like someone doesn't know the equipment name is chosen.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

forest owl was right, it's endless road. sorry for being so strict but u all guess my riddle son the first try n its no fun. technically u don't need ribbon for endless road, jus BHPL n BMPL but it threw u

ur go forest owl

[Psydekick]

Can you hurry up with the riddle I have not posted in this thread for ages and I want to start riddling soon!:)

[TheSpoonyBard]

Calm down, Sora.

Guardian of the gold
Small yet full of power
Kin slain by mischief
I am the symbol of greed.

Who am I?

Note: You'll need knowledge outside of FFX to solve this.

[Psydekick]

Yojimbo?:)

[TheSpoonyBard]

No.

[Psydekick]

Yojimbo's dog?:)

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nothing to with Yojimbo or his dog.

[Psydekick]

Ultima weapon?:)

[TheSpoonyBard]

No. This riddle requires some thought and I doubt random guesses will get you very far.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

Guardian of the gold
Small yet full of power (1st 2 lines: sumat to do with leprochauns)
Kin slain by mischief
I am the symbol of greed.

i am gona guess the mimics in omega dungeon.

[Psydekick]

Oh i was just about to say that....:( :( :(

[TheSpoonyBard]

Not the Mimics.

[mj05]

Could "small but full of power" have something to do with tonberry's?
The "kin slain by mischief" kinda threw me towards FFVIII, when you have to beat so many to get the king...but is that considered mischief?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Not a Tonberry. Also, 'kin' isn't meant to be 'king'.

The knowledge required isn't about another FF game.

[mj05]

I know what you meant by kin. Anyway, is it even a fiend?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yes, but a special type of fiend.

[BG-57]

Is it Fafnir? In Das Rheingold, he was giant who built a palace for Wotan and the gods, along with his brother Falsolt. But he wound up slaying his brother in a fight over some gold and eventually became a dragon that Seigfried had to slay. Hence the namesake of dragon in the monster arena.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yes, it is Fafnir the dragon from Nordic mythology.

I had a similar story but with a few differences. Fafnir was a dwarf, son of Hreidmar and brother to Regin and Otr. Fafnir was the strongest of the three dwarf brothers. When Otr was killed by Loki (god of mischief), Hreidmar received Andvari's cursed gold as compensation for his loss. Fafnir and Regin then killed Hreidmar as they wanted the gold for themselves. Fafnir decided he wanted the gold to himself, and in so doing changed into a dragon, which was the symbol of greed. Regin sent his foster-son, Sigurd, to kill Fafnir, which he did, but Regin was also slain after Sigurd learned of Regin's plans to kill him after acquiring the gold.

Why are myths always so convoluted? Anyway, your turn, BG-57.

[BG-57]

Why are myths always so convoluted? Anyway, your turn, BG-57.

I'm not sure. Maybe because with oral tradition the stories get embellished from generation to generation?

Sounds like you heard the source material that trickled down into German mythology that Wagner used for his Ring cycle. I watched 13 hours of grand opera to hear essentially the same story. The music was nice though. :greenie:

Here it is:

A mismatched pair
From different worlds
But also a bridge
Of reconciliation

[TheSpoonyBard]

Well I haven't heard of Afbo, so that method of solving won't work.

Could it be Braska and Yuna's mother? Am I along the right lines?

[BG-57]

It's not them, but you are.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Jyscal and Anima?

[BG-57]

It's not them either. Your first guess was closer.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yuna and Rikku?

[BG-57]

Yes and no, respectively.

[TheSpoonyBard]

I didn't want to say Yuna and Tidus - it seems too obvious.

[BG-57]

The answer involves just Yuna.

[abrojtm]

Yuna and Seymour, more specifically their marraige.

A mismatched pair-----\They are from totally complete different cultures
From different worlds--/
But also a bridge----\
Of reconciliation ----/ The Highbridge in Bevelle is where the marraige takes place, and it was meant to close the differences between the Guado and Spirans.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

sounds right, but im gonna wait for the final verdict.

[BG-57]

The mismatched pair does not refer to two people. Just Yuna.

[Markus. D]

interesting concept BG.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yuna's eyes.

[Psydekick]

I'm pretty sure thats right as one is blue and one is green representing the fact that Braska who was normal married an Al bhed who naturally have green eyes.

[BG-57]

ForestOwl is correct. Yuna's mismatched eyes symbolize the union of human with Al Bhed.

[TheSpoonyBard]

I'll pass my turn. I know, I'm being awkward, but I much prefer guessing riddles.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

spending my life in servitude
of the one i consider my lord
i'll take his death as a personal attack
and seek to place blame on the innocent

[TheSpoonyBard]

Trommel Guado.

[Psydekick]

Guado guardian :)

[Werries06]

the fat man (wears orange, i think his names Maester ?????)

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

forestowl was right, it was trommell

ur turn forestowl

[TheSpoonyBard]

Come here when your time has passed
Acceptance is the key
Memories may come to life
But first, memories must die.

[Vice-President Rufus]

is it the farplane

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yep. Your turn.

[Vice-President Rufus]

I'm not good at making riddles can i pass my turn to someone else.

[BG-57]

Rejected Yevon's teachings
Could have been an ally
But in this case an enemy
Of an enemy is an enemy

[Lost Number]

Guado?

[BG-57]

Not the Guado.

[Lost Number]

Ronso?

[BG-57]

Not the Ronso. It's a specific individual.

[Lost Number]

Isaru?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Seymour? Seems too obvious though...

[BG-57]

Neither Isaaru nor Seymour. It is a boss though.

[Lost Number]

Al Bhed!

[TheSpoonyBard]

Yunalesca?

[BG-57]

Neither the Al Bhed nor Yunalesca. This boss was branded as a heretic.

[Lost Number]

Yojimbo?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Omega, now Omega Weapon.

[Psydekick]

Is it Jecht?:)

[BG-57]

ForestOwl is correct. The answer is Omega.

Although Lost Number gets a :cookie:, because Yojimbo does become a heretic in FFX-2.

[Lost Number]

I was so close.

[Psydekick]

Oh damm i lose again:(

[Lost Number]

Ha.

[Psydekick]

I vow I will win a riddle!!!:)

[Lost Number]

You will need to wait a long time before that happens.:D

[Psydekick]

Yes ForestOwl can you hurry up:)

[Lost Number]

Smart move.:)

[BG-57]

I'm tired of guessing and making riddles for now, so I'll sit this next one out. :eep:

[TheSpoonyBard]

Opponents of the favourites
Challenging their dream
Reputation doesn't fight for you
The battle must be won
Before their work is undone.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

reputation...ur talkin about how Yuna is the daughter of a great high summoner. oponents who have the same dream...that would either be donna and her guardian or the other guy. hmmm...

[TheSpoonyBard]

The lines don't run into one another, and some of the clues are obscure. Suffice to say it has nothing to do with Yuna, Dona or Barthello.

[Little Blue]

Is it the Besaid Aurochs?

[Lost Number]

Al Bhed?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Auron's Ghost is close.

[Vice-President Rufus]

Luca goers

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nope.

[I Took the Red Pill]

The Guado Glories??

Just a shot in the dark

[TheSpoonyBard]

Not the Guado Glories.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

yuna living up to what her father has become?

[sub zero]

its either the kilika beasts or the ronso fangs im gonna og for the ronso fangs as the ronso seem to go on about HONOR alot more than the other races.

[Red Squall]

is it an unsent?

[TheSpoonyBard]

None of those guesses are correct.

This BB team no longer exists.

[Lost Number]

Al bhed.

EDIT: The Zanarkand Duggles of C-South?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Correct. The answer is the Duggles.

[Lost Number]

Sinspawn of the human mind,
My essense abhors.
The staunch wall which panders to them,
I set my strengh against.
Yet my powers were in vain.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

yet my powers were in vain...must have been a historcial character.

[Lost Number]

No.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

well, im stumped.:D

[Lost Number]

Dont give up that easily!

[BG-57]

Jecht?

[FinalCetra]

Sin?

[Little Blue]

Belgimine?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

Sinspawn of the human mind,
My essense abhors.
The staunch wall which panders to them,
I set my strengh against.
Yet my powers were in vain.

the mushroom rock mission?

[Lost Number]

No but s£v!l'$ ph0£n!x is sort of close.

[Vice-President Rufus]

operation mihen

[Lost Number]

No. Not a mission.

[Little Blue]

Is it the giant machina raygun that they used in the mission?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Could it be the Al Bhed machina or the Al Bhed themselves?

[Lost Number]

The Al Bhed to have a part in the riddle, but they arent the answer.

[Psydekick]

Yuna at operation mihien

[Lost Number]

No.

[Psydekick]

Seymour at Operation Mihien

[TheSpoonyBard]

The machina weapons?

[lulusgirl]

Measter Mika at Operation Mi'hen?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

the large gun that attacks sin at operation mi'ihen

[a_dollar_20]

Is it yevon or something to do with al bhed disobeying the teachings

[Psydekick]

Have we got it right yet Lost Number:)

[Lost Number]

No, you aint.

[BG-57]

Is it the teachings of Yevon?
