FFT Riddles

[Fate Fatale]

perople already guessed gafgarion....

[BG-57]

It's not Cardinal, Cloud, or Gaff Gafgarion.


people already guessed gafgarion....

Not for this riddle.

[roninmedia]

Weigraf.

[BG-57]

Not Weigraf.

[YasuKaida]

aaahh..this is driving me nuts..is it a Beaolve?(did i spell that right)

[BG-57]

It's not a member of the Beoulve family (I had to look up the spelling :p).

[Fate Fatale]

The Marquis of Elmdor

[feioncastor]

The Marquis of Elmdor
It better not be.

Marquis is a real word and all, but it's his title, not his name. His name is Mesdoram Elmdor, I believe, and he is the Marquis of Limberry.

[YasuKaida]

ok i'm out

[Remon]

Is it Larg?
Larg=Large xD or Balk?hmm this is though:grumble:

[Fate Fatale]

The Marquis of Elmdor
It better not be.

Marquis is a real word and all, but it's his title, not his name. His name is Mesdoram Elmdor, I believe, and he is the Marquis of Limberry.

Oops... lol didn't notice that.. it's been awhile... lol

[BG-57]

Past passado, one of your guesses is correct. :D

[feioncastor]

It's apparently Balk.

"Balk" refers to stopping abruptly and you said he does stuff without hesitation or squeemishness, and balk is neither hesitant nor squeemish to do lame stuff.

If I'm right, someone else can go. I'm in no state of mind to think up a clever riddle right now.

[BG-57]

feion's right, the answer is Balk.

Past passado, you can go if you like.

[Remon]

OK then

Once a wizard now a monster
Once lived in a city now in a fogotten place
If you want my skills praying wont help
I hold a precious item
Can you take it from me?
making riddles sure is fun.:D Fogive me though.it's my first time

[feioncastor]

Elibdis?

[Remon]

:whoa: NO
Just kidding YES your turn.It was really easy right

[feioncastor]

I actually wasn't 100% sure of my answer. It was just the first thing that popped into mind.

Sorry I'm not good at thinking up riddles lately. My life has been lame so I don't have a good mindset... Someone else go.

But when I do think one up, I get to post it!!! K? Good!!

[conan]

Feion, we'll wait for you. But if you take too long...well, let me just quote BG-57 here.


I've enjoyed riddles in other forums, but I didn't see one here.

A couple of ground rules, which are typical for these kinds of threads:

1) Only one riddle should be posted at a time, until someone guesses it correctly.

2) The person who guesses the previous riddle correctly gets to post their own riddle.

3) Anyone who gets a chance to post a riddle can choose to let someone else post a riddle instead.

4) If a person who guesses a riddle correctly does not post one of their own within a day, someone else can post instead.

[BG-57]

Couldn't have said it better myself. :D

[Mage_of_Fire]

Sorry I'm not good at thinking up riddles lately. My life has been lame so I don't have a good mindset... Someone else go.


/wrists. ;)

[feioncastor]

Bah! Nothing!

Seriously, someone else just take it. Where the heck is the Despotus machine? He's always got a good riddle.

[BG-57]

Haven't heard from him in a few weeks. I guess he's busy. :(

The best set to have
If you plug your ears
Still it has consolations
For the self-sacrificing

[Remon]

Self sacrifice..hmm,a Bomb?

[BG-57]

Not a Bomb. But it does involve hurting oneself to help others.

[Despotus]

Haven't heard from him in a few weeks. I guess he's busy. :(


Nah, the riddles have been too damn hard! :p Seriously, I have been really busy. Thanks for missing me.:love:

I'll take a guess that it's "Sing".
Plug your ears because the Bard's a bad singer?
He does sacrifice his action each turn in order to continue his song.

[BG-57]

Hey man, welcome back! :D

It's not the Bard's Sing skills though.

[leon-]

Is it the ability Wish?

[Despotus]

How about the Steel Giant's skill set, 'Work'? The skills in that set require a self-sacrifice of h.p. to damage the enemy.

[BG-57]

Is it the ability Wish?

Wish is part of the answer.

[feioncastor]

Guts.

[BG-57]

Feion's right, the answer is additional skills in Guts:

The best set to have (Ultima)
If you plug your ears (Yell, Scream)
Still it has consolations (Cheer Up)
For the self-sacrificing (Wish)

[feioncastor]

I knew that. Even without Ultima, Guts is almost always the secondary on Ramza for me.




A powerful menace, he is
A boss who can't stand failure
from those working for and with him.
But his bad side, well,
you'll end up snoozing away
or on your way to dead.

[BG-57]

Is it the Lucavi Queklain?

His human counterpart, Cardinal Draclau, offs his own incompetant underling and Queklain has a status ailment causing attack Nightmare, which causes (I believe) Sleep and Death Sentence.

[feioncastor]

Can't get anything past you, Beejtastic.

[BG-57]

Heh. :D

I'm the best offense
No wait I'm the worst!
But if I was a twin
I would be fraternal

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

the 2 assasins

[Purple shoot]

the 2 assasins
Celia and Lede?:confused:

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

yea them thats what i meant

[BG-57]

It's not Celia and Lede.

[Purple shoot]

Gafgarion? Or maybe Vormav?:confused:

[BG-57]

Not Gafgarion or Vormav.

[Remon]

:plotting: hmm. The Mime?
I'm the best offense(don't know)
No wait I'm the worst!(don't know)
But if I was a twin(don't know)
I would be fraternal(don't know)

[BG-57]

It's not the Mime, but you're right about it not being a character.

[Remon]

:mwahaha:So it is not a character hmm :plotting:
Hint please?

[BG-57]

The answer could refer to two different things.

[Despotus]

Sounds like the 'twin' swords, Ragnarok and Nagrarok. Arguably the best and worst swords in the game.

I'm baaaack!:mwahaha:

[BG-57]

It's not Ragnarok and Nagrarok, but you are very close.

I've foiled you again! :holmes:

[Purple shoot]

That is dificult one:mad: Is the sword Escalibur?

[leon-]

The Javelin I and II?

[Despotus]

Must be. Either that or Escutcheon and Escutcheon II. He did say there could be two answers. I believe you've got it leon.;)

[BG-57]

The Javelin I and II?

You are correct leon-, the answer is Javelin! Both versions have exactly the same name, but one is the spear with the best offensive power and the other is the worst. They have different appearances, so they're like fraternal twins.

Your go. :)

EDIT: Where'd you go leon-? Despotus, you want to take the next turn?

[Remon]

Where did they both go?:grumble:

[BG-57]

No idea. Want to take the next turn then?

[Remon]

Nah you go again cause my riddles always suck :D and your's are hard to guess ;)

[BG-57]

Okay. :greenie:

I tried this one time
An entire party out of range
But it was not to be
Even in my ignorance

Where was I?

[Lich3636]

Fort Zeakden, refering to golagros death? i duno no one seems to be guessing so i thought id just throw that out there. I have returned! :tonberry:

[Remon]

So is this a place or something else :plotting:?
My guess is Deep Dungeon I know i suck at riddles

[BG-57]

Welcome back Lich3636!

It's not Fort Zeakden or Deep Dungeon. It's a place though.

Ignorance refers to a skill.

[The Amazing Spiderman]

Well...let me try guessing.
It's a place. And I think it's either one of these Two.

The first one, althought I don't think it is, is END.
Considering how in END you start at the bottom of the map, and your enemies frequently at the top. That's when de "Party ouf of reach" comes in.
In this one, "Ignorance" can be taken as "Ignore Height". Even thought you can just jump away happily to the top, there are black/blank spaces at the map between your party and that big, 15T cliff that doesn't allow you to do that.
Even thought it wasn't supposed to be, you can still Fly or Teleport and give a shot at your enemies.

My other one, and I think it's the one. LOST SACRED PRECINCTS.
That's another situation when your party and Balk's are far from each other, but they can still shoot the hell out of you, triple attack by the tiamats, etc.
In this one, "Ignorance" can be taken as "Ignore height" as the previous one. There are black/blank spaces between both parties, and you can only cross by Fly, Teleport, jumping where therea re only two blacks spaces, or fight your way down to the bridge, where the behemoth is passing by.

Woo-hoo.

[BG-57]

It's not End or Lost Sacred Precincts, but you are right on the money with Ignore Height as the skill.

[Purple shoot]

:confused: Wow! you´re good!:eek: you said ignore height...mmm...it´s a location? Well, im going to said Murond Death City... but im think im wrong:rolleyes2 :p

[The Amazing Spiderman]

Well BG-57...it's been some time...
Hey, let me refresh my memory. I'm pretty sure I can answer it.
But instead of just guessing by, I'll think it up more now.

I have three places in my mind. Maybe if they're not Blank spaces, It can be Bad Terrain in a panel, like a tree or a strange rock...


Purple Shot. Whoa, are you from Mexico? Great!

[Lich3636]

congratulations BG u have melted my mind, the only thing that comes to mind is the gate of lionel castle

[BG-57]

It's not Murond Death City or the Gates of Lionel Castle.

The Amazing Spiderman, good to see you back.

[Purple shoot]

Well BG-57...it's been some time...
Hey, let me refresh my memory. I'm pretty sure I can answer it.
But instead of just guessing by, I'll think it up more now.

I have three places in my mind. Maybe if they're not Blank spaces, It can be Bad Terrain in a panel, like a tree or a strange rock...


Purple Shot. Whoa, are you from Mexico? Great!Well, thank you!You noticed it! there are a less people that noticed about it:D
Well BG-57 You are very good!:eek:
My brain get burnt!:confused:
Mmm... Do you have any clue?

[BG-57]

Well, thank you!You noticed it! there are a less people that noticed about it
Well BG-57 You are very good!
My brain get burnt!
Mmm... Do you have any clue?

Certainly.

It's a place that looks like you can position an entire party out of range of enemies using Ignore Height. Except you can't.

[Lich3636]

*brain clicks* :eek: Araguay woods with the 5 trees, i remember trying the same thing with teleport

[BG-57]

*brain clicks* Araguay woods with the 5 trees, i remember trying the same thing with teleport

You got it! :D

Man, I was so mad when I found out I couldn't get the party on top of those trees. I guess the 'tops' are supposed to be the middles of the trees, with the rest cut off. :mad:

Still, great minds think alike I guess. :)

[Lich3636]

hazzah! ok lets see how good i am at makeing riddles

Although we were small,
and our freedoms few
down came the keeper of us all
and our freedom rang anew


who are we?

[BG-57]

hazzah! ok lets see how good i am at makeing riddles

Although we were small,
and our freedoms few
down came the keeper of us all
and our freedom rang anew


who are we?

Lucavi?

They're imprisoned in small Zodiac Stones, but are led by Altima, who wants to free them.

[Purple shoot]

hazzah! ok lets see how good i am at makeing riddles

and our freedoms few
down came the keeper of us all
and our freedom rang anew


who are we?

Lucavi?

They're imprisoned in small Zodiac Stones, but are led by Altima, who wants to free them.WOW!:kaocheer: You are very smart!:kaohappy2 I think that you are a really fan!:kaohappy: And fast, too

[BG-57]

Thanks, but I'm not sure that I'm right. :greenie:

[Lich3636]

nope its not lucavi. think on a broader term for "keeper of us all"

[Purple shoot]

nope its not lucaviBut depends because he said the Zodiac Stones, and Lucavi includes the Holy Stones, Altima and the monsters of the Holy Stones,and i think it could be the monsters of the Holy Stones, but i think you said that because the answer it isn´t Altima, the Holy Stones or the monsters right?
Or am i wrong?







Oh my! i used that names a lot!:trout:I get tired!

[Lich3636]

it has nothing to do with the holy stones, the lucavi monsters, or altima

[Fate Fatale]

Is it the Death Corps?

[Lich3636]

nope

[Fate Fatale]

Well, I'm stumped.. hint please!

[Purple shoot]

:confused: Well, if it isnt the Holy Stones(Or the other thing about Lucavi)it have to be something else:mad:
The only thing i can think about it are the Materia, the ones that find in the missions of the Pub( Or bar), but probably im wrong:lol:

[Lich3636]

nope not materia.

lets see a hint...

Hint: The keeper refers to a greek god

[Kuroshima]

Greek god: Thor??waith that's norse. dang...

Umm.. T.g. Cid?

[Lich3636]

nope

[BG-57]

Is is Kletian and his followers? He comes equipped with a Mace of Zeus in Murond Death City.

[Purple shoot]

A Maze of Zeus?
:kaodizzy:I cant remember that his carring this?:kaodrop:
But no matter, because i dont put a lot of attention in this kind of things:rolleyes2

[Lich3636]

nope not kletian or the mace of zeus

[Fate Fatale]

I'm soo bloody confused...

[Purple shoot]

:kaodrop: I cant think in nothing:kaoangry:

Mmmm...Do you could give us anoter clue?:holmes:

[Lich3636]

ok

Hint: they come from the "distant land"

[BG-57]

I was going to start guessing Titan or Cyclops, but then it occured to me that it could be a Proposition. And so it was:

Touzas Village is a village inhabited by tiny people that were freed by a giant named Atlas (who was also a Titan that carried the world on his shoulders). The name Touzas means 'distant land'.

[Lich3636]

you are correct sir. i was actualy looking for Liliputians (what the dwarves were called) but since you got the village theres no point in being anal about it, your go BG-57

[Purple shoot]

Ha, thats these are the things that i never notice:trout:
But i have to accept it...You are a Sherlock Holmes of this game!:holmes:
I which i have that dedication when i do something!:kaobeg2:

[BG-57]

you are correct sir. i was actualy looking for Liliputians (what the dwarves were called) but since you got the village theres no point in being anal about it, your go BG-57

Yeah it only occured to me later that you were looking for a who, not a where. :p


Ha, thats these are the things that i never notice
But i have to accept it...You are a Sherlock Holmes of this game!
I which i have that dedication when i do something!

Had he been here, Despotus might have beat me to the answer. We produced a list of Proposition rewards together, so we know the details of the Propositions pretty well.

At any rate, FFT is the only game that I feel like an authority on. Although if I were a sleuth I would be prefer to be Mycroft Holmes, (Sherlock's older brother) who's more talented but less ambitious. :holmes:

Kindreds of the same element:
A backwards and barbaric weapon
An evil genie to grant your dark wishes
A truly bad play that everyone hates

What are the three kindred and what do they share?

[Purple shoot]

Are you talking about persons or items?
(I know, i know, i suck at riddles!:kaocry2: :kaocry: )

[BG-57]

Are you talking about persons or items?
(I know, i know, i suck at riddles!:kaocry2: :kaocry: )

The element, the weapon, and the bad play refer to things.
The evil genie is a person of sorts.
All the answers appear in the game and share something in common.

[Kuroshima]

Well I don't know the answer but I'm guessing the Genie is Lucavi?

[BG-57]

It's not Lucavi.

[Kuroshima]

Hmm -pondering-

[BG-57]

Maybe if you guess the element?

[Kuroshima]

That's easy Shadow or dark however you say it.

[BG-57]

It's not Darkness.

[Kuroshima]

Wow... Umm.... Water?

[feioncastor]

BG, you may have noticed that I don't post much anymore.

Heh, I have no idea.

[BG-57]

It's not Water.

Any particular reason feion?

[Lich3636]

im pretty sure i know this, the only part thats giveing me trouble is the bad play everyone hates part. can i get a hint?

[BG-57]

Look at my avatar for one of the answers.

[Lich3636]

Kindreds of the same element: fire
A backwards and barbaric weapon. flame whip
An evil genie to grant your dark wishes. ifrit
A truly bad play that everyone hates. self destruct

[BG-57]

Yes.
No.
Yes.
Close.

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

hell fire

[Purple shoot]

Well, if the last line it isnt hell fire, i think its asura(or i dont remember the hell name of that magic from Rafa!)from Rafa:plotting:

Im back!:kaoplain: i been out for a while:kaosleep: , but im ready for post!:kaoyatta:

[BG-57]

Not Hell Fire or Asura.

To recap:

Kindreds of the same element (Fire)
A backwards and barbaric weapon
An evil genie to grant your dark wishes (Ifrit)
A truly bad play that everyone hates (Not Self-Destruct, but closely related)

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

flame rod

[MogThief]

Kindreds of the same element: Fire
A backwards and barbaric weapon: Flame Rod
An evil genie to grant your dark wishes: Ifrit
A truly bad play that everyone hates: Spark

[BG-57]

Not Flame Rod or Spark.

[feioncastor]

Any particular reason feion?

Because I have no clue as to the answer to these riddles... Hah.

Is the backwards weapon the Blood Sword? I know it's not fire related, but it is red in color, the color associated with fire element.

[Purple shoot]

Mmm...:plotting: the anwser is Fire Bow?

[BG-57]

It's not Blood Sword or Fire Bow. The key phrase is backwards.

[Auragaea]

The backwards is Mlapan (Napalm) from the Deep Dungeon. But I don't know the bad play...

[Kuroshima]

Is the bad play Small bomb?

[BG-57]

Auragaea, you are correct! The backwards weapon is Napalm.

Kuroshima, you are half right.

[Purple shoot]

Mmmm...thats hard...:plotting: it is Fire Attack?

[BG-57]

It's not fire attack.

[Elemental Alchemist]

I'm new here, and not much good for riddles, but I'll take a shot.

A truly bad play that everyone hates: Fire Ball?

[feioncastor]

Doesn't a skeleton class use a move called "Fire Soul"?

[BG-57]

It's not Fire Ball or Fire Soul.

Did you guys check out my hint?

[Elemental Alchemist]

is it oil/grease touch?

[Auragaea]

Kindreds of the same element- Fire
A backwards and barbaric weapon- Mlapan
An evil genie to grant your dark wishes- Ifrit
A truly bad play that everyone hates- Oil/Grease

[BG-57]

It's not oil/grease.

And the term can apply to bad movies as well, but it started with plays.

[Kuroshima]

Kindreds of the same element- Fire
A backwards and barbaric weapon- Mlapan
An evil genie to grant your dark wishes- Ifrit
A truly bad play that everyone hates- Flare?

[BG-57]

Not Flare. Your Small Bomb guess was the closest so far.

[Elemental Alchemist]

small spark? bite? counter?

[BG-57]

Not any of those.

I guess this term is out of date now....

[Elemental Alchemist]

Kindreds of the same element- Fire
A backwards and barbaric weapon- Mlapan
An evil genie to grant your dark wishes- Ifrit
A truly bad play that everyone hates- Bomb?

[BG-57]

Kindreds of the same element- Fire
A backwards and barbaric weapon- Mlapan
An evil genie to grant your dark wishes- Ifrit
A truly bad play that everyone hates- Bomb?


We have a winner! :D

Your go, Elemental Alchemist.

[Elemental Alchemist]

Yay!

If I can't think of one by 7:00 pm, anyone can take over. I've never made a riddle, but I'll try to make one.

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

from person to person
i make my pay
one day i got paid alot
but that was the last battle i fought

try this one

[Kuroshima]

It's a person I'm guessing so Gaff?

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

from person to person
i make my pay
one day i was sent to kill
but that was the last battle i fought



i had to change a line sorry

[Kuroshima]

Is it Gaff????

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

no

[Purple shoot]

I know! I know!:hyper: It is the mercenary that is talking with Vormav in Dorter Trade City in the begining of the chapter two!

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

yea u got it i gotta think of a harder one ur turn

[Purple shoot]

Well, what can i say:D Please, somebody take my turn;i suck at riddles!:trout:

[Auragaea]

A velvet wind blows across the plains
Promising a deep vengace
Hidden beneath a pious face
And a moving, yet still guardian

Where am I talking about?

[BG-57]

I'm going to go with the Windmill Shed.

A velvet wind blows across the plains (It rests on Fovoham Plains)
Promising a deep vengace (Weigraf wants revenge for his sister's death)
Hidden beneath a pious face (Wiegraf is a White Knight)
And a moving, yet still guardian (The windmill where Teta is kept is stationary, but the sails spin)

[Auragaea]

You are correct (and quick).

[BG-57]

Three ways to stop the hands of doom:

Perfect gear for a monk
A crimson feather
Not a football but made
From the same material

[Kuroshima]

Perfect gear for a monk: Fists
A crimson feather: Pheonix Down
Not footballs but made: ??
From the same material: Rubber Costume

[BG-57]

Not fists, Pheonix Down, or Rubber Suit.

EDIT: Oops, I made a mistake. I'll rewrite the riddle a bit.

The last two lines refers to a single thing.

[Elemental Alchemist]

Perfect gear for a monk: Judo Outfit
A crimson feather: Red Chocobo (when dead)
Not footballs but made:
From the same material: Some type of armor sold in fur shops when you kill a pig monster?

[BG-57]

Judo Outfit is correct.

You're on the right track with the other two.

[Auragaea]

Perfect gear for a monk: Judo Outfit
A crimson feather: Barette
Not footballs but made
From the same material: Ribbon

[feioncastor]

A phoenix down is a crimson feather, and it undoes the work done by the hands of doom... Doesn't really stop them...

[BG-57]

Perfect gear for a monk: Judo Outfit
A crimson feather: Barette
Not footballs but made
From the same material: Ribbon

You are correct, Auragaea! All three items cancels the instant death attacks from the Assassin's Hand ability.

[Auragaea]

I'm not feeling creative right now, so someone can take my place.

[Purple shoot]

Im go, im go!:kaoplain: its an easy one, no matter?
well, here it goes:

Somebody steal
something very important for me
i wanted revenge
but before of that
i was defeated

A very easy one!:lol:

(well, well, im not good at rhyms, thats true!)

[Remon]

Hiya guys i'm back.I mised EOFF :kaocry:

Is it steal heart

[Purple shoot]

Nope

[BG-57]

Is it Rudvich, you know, that guy that blackmails Mustadio for a Zodiac Stone and gets a fake, which really, really annoys a certain clergyman?

[Purple shoot]

Im sorry but you are wrong:p

[Auragaea]

^ And you say that you are not good with riddles :p

[Purple shoot]

^ And you say that you are not good with riddles :p

Haha, thanks, but that is a really easy one:trout:

[Elemental Alchemist]

Is it Algus or Delita?

[BG-57]

Somebody steal
something very important for me
i wanted revenge
but before of that
i was defeated

Did you mean because instead of before?

[Purple shoot]

Somebody steal
something very important for me
i wanted revenge
but before of that
i was defeated

Did you mean because instead of before?
Yes, but that dosn make any difference, because it doesnt change the answer.

Elemental Alchemist, you are wrong but you are very close

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

wigfaf cant spell his name right

[Purple shoot]

And the answer is...Ding! Correct!:kaohappy2 See? it was an easy one!well, its youre turn then

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

that was easy:) :)
ok heres another simple one

we dont band together
we have differnt skills
we are very powerful
but miss still

[Kuroshima]

Rafa and Malak?

[finalfantasyguy4ever]

yes i need some really hard one ur turn

[Purple shoot]

Kuroshima is dissconected, so somebody take his turn(im not going to take his turn because i dont feel creative in this moment!:p

[Kuroshima]

I fight for death,
I kill for fun.
If you run,
my fun has just begun!

I'm kinda bad at riddles so..

[BG-57]

Celia?

[Kuroshima]

Nope.

[BG-57]

Lede?

[Kuroshima]

Wiat your first answer was right and your second answer was right I just put it worng XD

[BG-57]

Oh, so the answer is both Celia and Lede?

[Kuroshima]

Yes I just forgot to put the riddle in the plural form.

[BG-57]

Okay.

Sometimes you can go down to go up
But by taking a different path back
You may end up on a higher place
Even returning to the same level

[Purple shoot]

Deep Dungeon?

[BG-57]

It's not the Deep Dungeon.

[feioncastor]

It's not the Deep Dungeon.

Yes it is.

[BG-57]

Deep Dungeon was not what I had in mind when I wrote this riddle. The answer is not a literal place.

[Purple shoot]

It isnt a literal place uh?...Could you can give me a clue?

[BG-57]

Some people consider it cheating to do this.

[Kuroshima]

When you step on level reducing traps on purpose then level up so you get better stats?

[BG-57]

You are correct, Kuroshima! Your go. :)

[Kuroshima]

Ummm...

I love money,
Nothing'sbetter.
But my biggest pay,
Was never mine.

[BG-57]

Phantom Thief Zero?

[Kuroshima]

Your smart Bg your turn.

[BG-57]

LOL, Gaff was going to be my first guess, but he seemed too obvious. :D

Straight from the sea
The fires of anger burn
Its essence comforts
In a defensive cloak

[Kuroshima]

Ya I was hopping someone would guess that!

Hmm... Odin?

[BG-57]

Not Odin.

[Elemental Alchemist]

leviathan?

[BG-57]

Not Leviathan. It's not a summon.

[Shinka]

Straight from the sea
The fires of anger burn
Its essence comforts
In a defensive cloak

Is it Shell?

Shells are from the sea, protect against fire, and form a 'defensive cloak' of sorts.

Well, that's my guess, anyway. =D

[BG-57]

It's not Shell, but the answer has it as a status effect.

[Shinka]

It's gotta be "Salty Rage", then, right? =o

It endows 'shell', which is damn close to my guess, and the words 'salty' and 'rage' work with your riddle. 'Essence comforts' could be refering to the fact that it's a purfume.

How about that, am I even close? lol

[BG-57]

You are correct, Shinka! The answer is Salty Rage. :)

The fires of anger also refers to Red Dragons, which you can poach to get the perfume from.

Your go.

[Shinka]

Okay well, I suck at this riddle business. This will either be too obscure to understand, or too simple. Depends on how you think. =D

You can be as slick as a TIGER --
And as fast as one too, with my help.
I'm rather enigmatical, cryptic and covert.
And although some value me more than others,
No matter who you are, if you're not careful...
I may vanish before your very eyes.

[conan]

A ninja with sunken state?

[Shinka]

Not a ninja or sunken state. Or the combination. Although some would argue that ninjas value the answer more than others.

Although, totally off topic, ninjas are sexy. 8D

[Kuroshima]

I am Samurai I hate Ninjas!!! Perfect hunt?

[Ziekfried]

It's been months since I've visited the forums I came tothis thtread first ha! um... is it Vanish Mantle?

[Shinka]

Le gasp, Kuroshima, you hate Ninjas? That's pure blasphemy. >:U

Anywho, I'm sorry to say, but I've never heard of Perfect Hunt. Possibly a different translation of something -- perhaps Secet Hunt? Or maybe my FFT knowledge is just lacking. At any rate, the answer is not Perfect Hunt. Sorry. -w-;

Nor, Ziekfried, is it Vanish Mantle. Although that is pretty close. I wouldn't be surprised if someone guessed the right answer next post. =o

[Kuroshima]

Ya I meant to say secret hunt just wasn't thinking right..... Ummm.... Can I haver the answer please?

[BG-57]

I'm guessing Setiemson. It adds haste and invisible. It's a must-have for my female units.

[Shinka]

Ahhh, sorry guys, I went camping for the weekend. >_>

Quite a clever guess, BG, and would probably match the clues damn well, but it's not what I had in mind. I suppose my clues were just too obscure.

But it is an item, and you've knocked off almost every other possibility. I'm sure the power of deduction can lead to the answer. =D

It's a rare item you can only get one of, to narrow it down even more. ;D

Maybe once someone guesses it, they can link the clues from the riddle a little better. Or maybe not. Perhaps my riddles are just that bad.

[Despotus]

Must be the Secret Clothes. They are enigmatic, covert, and cryptic. They are found in the D.D. on Tiger. And they add 2 to the wearer's speed lvl.:mwahaha:

[BG-57]

Foiled again! :holmes:

Might as well post a new one, Moriarty. I know you're right. :p

[Shinka]

And o'course Secret Clothes is correct. I only wish I could get more than one. D:

Told ya I suck at making riddles.

Anywho, now someone with some riddle-skill can step up. Go Despotus, go. =D

[Despotus]

My voice is foreign,
and soon I'll be dead.
I give not a warning,
but an order instead.

Don't try to run,
but heed what is said.
Or an innocent life lost
will be on your head.

Who am I?

[Purple shoot]

It is death sentence rigth?
Hello over there! i dont post a lot more, so excuse me.:kaoindif:

[Despotus]

Sorry, Purple Shoot. Death Sentence is not the answer I was looking for. The answer is not a skill. ;)

[feioncastor]

Golagros Levine (no relation to Ted Levine (http://imdb.com/name/nm0505971/) who played Buffalo Bill in the film "Silence of the Lambs".)

[BG-57]

Something about the word foreign is nagging me. I'm going to guess Cloud, who is as foreign as you can get in Ivalice, and who can save Aeris if you find him and help him.

[Despotus]

Sorry, yous twos. It's neither Gologros nor Cloud. It is a "character" though, albeit a very "minor" one. :jokey:

[Kuroshima]

Izlude?

[conan]

Is it a generic character from a cut scene?

[BG-57]

Sounds like it. It it Lezales, the enemy knight in the opening battle?

[Despotus]

Is it a generic character from a cut scene?
Hmmm... Generic, not exactly. I'd say a rather unique character from a cut scene.

Nobody's guessed it yet. Perhaps I should change the word 'foreign' to 'alien', or 'unnatural' in the clue. Perhaps 'exotic'?...:exdee:

[conan]

Aha! It's Worker 7, from Nelveska Temple!

[Despotus]

Not a bad guess, Conan. But, there are a few inconsistencies between your guess and the riddle. For starters, I think Worker 7-new does issue a warning to intruders and to the researchers. The riddle says no warning. Secondly, they are told to evacuate or retreat within 30 seconds. The riddle says "don't try to run". Thirdly, other than Reis' little problem, I can't think of any innocent life that hangs over our heads in that scene. I also mentioned that this "character" is from a cut-away scene, not a battle prelude. Keep the guesses coming folks.:)

[conan]

Dang, I thought I had it.

[feioncastor]

Duke Barinten of Fovoham, seated in Riovanes Castle, home of the most Exotic Wizard of all, Mr. Malak (who is also a duke. The duke of Uselessness)

[Despotus]

You're getting much closer. The character in question has a lot to do with Barinten and Malak (foreign/exotic voice, perhaps?). Keep in mind that 'foreign' can mean 'out of place';)
If you could think of the innocent whose life hangs in the balance, you'd be almost there. Keep digging!:holmes:

[BG-57]

Oh! Is it the frog messenger that Malak sends to the warehouse that Ramza and Rafa are in to warn them about Alma's fate if they don't go to Riovannes castle? It does a little Mission Impossible this-message-will-self-destruct after that.

[Purple shoot]

Messenger?:kaodizzy:But i thinked that was´nt Malak that turned himself in a frog and talked with Ramza and Rafa?:plotting:

[feioncastor]

Messenger?:kaodizzy:But i thinked that was´nt Malak that turned himself in a frog and talked with Ramza and Rafa?:plotting:

It was definitely not Malak himself since the thing blew up after it was done talking.

[Despotus]

Oh! Is it the frog messenger that Malak sends to the warehouse that Ramza and Rafa are in to warn them about Alma's fate if they don't go to Riovannes castle? It does a little Mission Impossible this-message-will-self-destruct after that.

We have a winner, folks! Nice job BG!:holmes:

[BG-57]

Thanks. :)

No sword in stone
No giants of metal
No hermit wizards
No great events

Why even go there?

[feioncastor]

Does this relate to a freaking proposition?

[Despotus]

Sounds like BG-57 is referring to the optional battle at Dolbodar Swamp, which boasts no great reward. It is unlike other optional battles (Bervenia Volcano, Nelveska Temple, and the Deep Dungeon) which do intice the player with substantial treasures, additional characters, etc.

[BG-57]

You are correct Despotus! Your go. :)

[Despotus]

With pleasure, B.G. :greenie:

:plotting:

Each clue in this riddle refers to one same thing:

When little Leo joined,
Or when a Virgo's equipment was purloined,
Or perhaps when a winged menace was slain,
What did you gain?

[feioncastor]

Any relation to Hashmalum?

[Despotus]

His father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate... in other words, not related.;)

[Kuroshima]

Zodiac Stones?

[Despotus]

Sorry, but not the Zodiac stones. Hint: The Zodiac signs listed are in reference to characters.

[Kuroshima]

Orlandu and Melaidol?

[Despotus]

Sorry, but they were not what was gained. I changed a couple more words in the riddle to help your guesses get on the right track, hopefully. ;)

[BG-57]

When little Leo joined,
Or when a Virgo's equipment was purloined,
Or perhaps when a winged menace was slain,
What did you gain?

You can get up to 11 Zodiac Stones by the game's end, not including Leo and Virgo, so they no doubt belong to Vormav Tingel and Alma.

Little Leo would then refer to either Izlude or Meliadoul Tingel. But since only Meliadoul joins, it must be something she brings to the party.

Virgo's equipment must be the equipment you can strip from Alma in the brief time she's in the party roster.

A winged meance may refer to a monster that can be poached for the same item.

My guess is Barette, which can be stolen from Alma or poached from a Red Chocobo. I don't remember if Meliadoul has it in her inventory when she joins, but it's worth a shot.

[Despotus]

You got it, B.G.!, although you didn't interpret all of the clues right. Little Leo referred to Alma, whose zodiac sign is Leo, bringing the Barette into the party when she briefly joined as a guest. The Virgo referred to is actually Celia (again it's her zodiac sign), whose Barette you can steal at Riovanes Castle. You were right on about the poachable item that can be gained from the winged, and menacing, Red Chocobo! You're up, Mycroft! :D

[BG-57]

Oh okay, thanks Moriarty. :p

Two passages up above
And two passages below
A mirror image reflected
Except the desks and door

[feioncastor]

I rarely venture guesses. My contribution to this thread is mere commentary.

I know who Mycroft is, but who is Moriarty?

[Despotus]

Moriarty is Sherlock Holmes' nemesis.:mwahaha:

My guess, and this is really off the top of my little head, is the Underground book storage at Orbonne.

[BG-57]

You're good. What floor? ;)

[Despotus]

Ummm... well, the 1st floor, where you kick Wiegraf's ass, is rather symmetric. It's split into two parts seperated by a long wall with 2 doors in the lower part of the wall and 2 more in the upper part. Is that the one?:D

[BG-57]

:save: We have a winner! :save:

[Despotus]

Damn. I tried to think of a good one, but I can't. So I'll pass my privilege on to the next poster. :p
