FF8 Riddles

[Shiny]

This is a revival of the popular FF8 riddle thread, but because the old one has died off I decided to make a new. So feel free to post your Final Fantasy 8 riddles here.

The rules are basically the same as they were.
1. One riddle post at a time.
2. Whoever gets the riddle right can post their riddle, or let someone else take their turn.
3. Only one guess per post. For example: Is it Ultimecia or Rinoa wouldn't be right, but is it Rinoa would.

[Lost Number]

You first, or someone else?

[Shiny]

You first, or someone else?
You can go if you want. I'm out of ideas right now.

[Lost Number]

An easy one, then.
Ten to the five is my power,
From a sunny isle I come,
The mender of pipes is my idol.
Who am I?

[Hambone]

uh... Is it a character?

[blackline77]

umm carbuncle?

[Shiny]

Doomtrain

[blackline77]

ohh yeah duhh.

[Fonzie]

That was easy lol

[Lost Number]

Wrong. Mender of pipes...

[BrokenWingzStillFly]

ifrit?

[Lost Number]

Nope.

[Shiny]

Not Doomtrain? Hmm, but he's the only thing I can think of that has anything to do with pipes.

[SquallsAngel]

sounds like a plumber... ;) well Sunny Isle makes me think siren, but then again i'm not good w/ riddles

Becca

"I'm ready to leave here, I'm ready to go with you

[Lost Number]

Pipes is very abstract. Can you think of a amender of pipes?
10 to the 5 is my power. Ring any bells?

[SquallsAngel]

cactar maybe??

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Ten to the five is my power,
From a sunny isle I come,
The mender of pipes is my idol.
Who am I?

line 1: 10, 000 needles. actually, ten to the fifth would be 100, 000. i think that was just a mistake.
line 2: cactaur island.
line 3: mario(the mustache).
line 4: Jumbo Cactaur.

that was pretty easy. the ten to the fifth thing gave it away.

[Waveth]

ooooh 10 to the five 10X10X10X10X10=100,000 needles, so it is Jumbo cactaur. was wondering about that.

aw... he got it first, but I'm wondering about the pipes...

[Lost Number]

Sorry, my math was a bit out. Yep, got it all, incliding thr mender of pipes(plumber) cos of that mustache.
Yer turn.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

ok, this i made up on the spot.

you never seem to find my true intentions
as i hide behind a mask
my love for someone isn't real
even though we've known each other for so long

who am i?

[Neco Arc]

quistis?

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

yes! it was pretty easy, but at least ppl can get the riddle. ur up. :D

[Neco Arc]

someone else can take my turn...

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

ok, ill try again. ill try to see if i can make it harder.

a failure of a creation
hating all who live short
abandoned in a place of infestation
never knowing the nature of 'them'

actually, this one might be easy.

[Laugh at face of Danger]

odin?

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

nope.

[Shiny]

Ultimecia

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

nope. Laugh at face of danger was on the right track though.

[Hambone]

Bahamut!!!

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

yes! ur turn. :D

[Hambone]

yay!

I lurk in the shadows of ruin.
Fighting me is really not worth it.
I am a popular staple of FF.
And finally, I am only an ant to my ruler.

[Finalzero]

Omega Weapon?

[Hambone]

nope. you didn't consider the fourth line. good guess though.

[Fonzie]

tonberrry

[_yeojina_]

I lurk in the shadows of ruin: Brothers
Fighting me is not really worth it: Omega Weapon
I'm a popular staple of FF: Chocobo
And finally, I'm only an ant to my ruler: Dunno, I guess the smaller of the Brothers.
Overall: Brothers?

[BG-57]

Tiamat?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Odin?

[Lost Number]

Greiver

[Hambone]

Isenhart got it; it was tonberry.

I lurk in the shadows of ruin: You fight lots of them in the Centra Ruins.
I am not worth fighting: They give no exp and only 1 ap.
I am a popular staple of Final Fantasy: tonberries are in many FFs.
I am only an ant to my ruler: tonberries are small compared to Tonberry King.

[Fonzie]

Man i hated fight so many of those things:eep:

My turn i guess

Fallen was he,
Once almighty,
Relative to another,
Could be his brother.

[Lost Number]

Does it have anything to do with wild theories.

[Fonzie]

nope just think hard : )

[Lost Number]

Gilgamesh

[TheSpoonyBard]

Bahamut/Tiamat?
Odin/Gilgamesh?

[Lost Number]

Ultima weapon?

[nik0tine]

Odin?

As usual, If I am right, someone may take my turn.

Edit: someone has already taken my guess. :mad2:

[Fonzie]

Hooter/ForestOwl got it. Your turn my friend.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Hooter?

Your presence here amuses me
Though I do not wish for you to stay long
Your final goals I shall help you achieve
Leave and return, I'll still be waiting here.

[McLovin']

Odin/Gilgamesh
or the Ragnarok?

[TheSpoonyBard]

None of those.

[Shin Gouken]

That could so be Odin

But seeing as it's not......umm perhaps Bahamut?

[TheSpoonyBard]

You're right, it could be Odin, but it isn't. It's not Bahamut either.

What does one do when amused?

[Shin Gouken]

Tbh i don't know. The amusement thin just threw me off.

Laguna :confused:

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nope. Think of something/someone that laughs a lot.

[nik0tine]

SELPHIE!

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

mister monkey

[TheSpoonyBard]

No and no.

[Shin Gouken]

Raijin?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nope.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

malboro (I'm sure he lets out a guffaw before the battle)

[TheSpoonyBard]

It's not a Malboro, but the stuff in parenthesis is relevant.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

card club joker?

[TheSpoonyBard]

No.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Garden Master Norg.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

maybe red giant?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nope. Want another hint?

[mj05]

yep

[TheSpoonyBard]

It appears on a Lv5 card.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

must be elnoyle then

[TheSpoonyBard]

Correct.

Your presence here amuses me Laughs before the battle
Though I do not wish for you to stay long It's a battle - he's trying to kill you
Your final goals I shall help you achieve Energy Crystals are needed for final weapons
Leave and return, I'll still be waiting here. Leave the screen and re-enter and he'll be back

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

OK riddle me this

first you may fall
then i will tease you
should i lose in the brawl
then my last will displease you

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

someone from ulti's castle. can't name anyone though.

[Lost Number]

Krysta. Terrible spelling, but th e wierd thing that casts Ultima when you kill it.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Krysta. Terrible spelling, but th e weird thing that casts Ultima when you kill it.

well done mate
that was my first riddle so I didn't know how hard to make it

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

yeah, i knew it was one of them i just couldn't place it though. ur up Lost Number. :D

[Lost Number]

Pass.

[McLovin']

Stare deep into them
For they are eternally rewarding
Blessed to master to master
They hide behind a mountain of a creature
If you do not like them
Then it's okay.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

wait, is the answer an item or a living thing? :confused:

[lone_berserker]

Damn this one's got me stumped XD. The only mountain of a creature that i can remember in eight is the red dragon on the mountain in the flashback that squall has with laguna and the crew, other than that im totally clueless XD.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

alright, it has been way too long. i will start another riddle.

desolate, uninhabitable
i am where the living could not not survive
the undead take refuge here
and a monster with 2 faces encounters you here

where is this?

[TheSpoonyBard]

The Great Salt Lake?

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Yes. :D

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

another one.

all have forgotten
since he was hidden
in a place of restriction
where creatures thrive on fuel

where and who is this?

[TheSpoonyBard]

MD Level, Oilboyles.

[BG-57]

Could the who be NORG?

I agree with ForestOwl about the Oilboyles and MD Level.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

yes and yes. Forest Ranger your go.

[TheSpoonyBard]

I pass my go.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

transforms for defensive purposes
a refuge for the restless
used for something most ppl hate
but it still stands and does its job

what is this?

P.S. I will be gone for several hours due to a basketball game. I will be back though to see if any one got this.

[Shiny]

A Garden? (Galbadia, Balamb, etc.)

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

yes, yes, yes. correct. i like these easy ones. they have the info you need even though you still have to think a bit to find the answer. this latest one made with a bit more thought as you can see.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

another. :D

in the middle of a desolate sea
surrounded by small landmasses
protects the ones who are most vulnerable to war
inhabited by the followers of a anti-demagogue.

what is this?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

uh white seed?

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

did i say who? no, i said what.

[SquallsAngel]

the White seed ship?




p.s. I pass in advance if i'm right

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

yes, correct. since nobody is comin up with riddles except me, should i just let this thing die? i tried to stop it but nobody is really participating. :(

[Lost Number]

Storms above me,
Courage beneath me,
Dark is not all I am,
Who am I?

This is so easy.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Diablos?

[McLovin']

Squall.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

diablos was my guess.

[Shiny]

Quezacolt

[Hexarar]

Makes me think of Edea...

[Lost Number]

Sephiroths Cage is correct. Storms = Squall
Courage = Lionheart
Has a moody image, but is good.

[McLovin']

Whoa, sweet.

I noticed that I totally forgot about my old riddle! Sorry about that.

Stare deep into them
For they are eternally rewarding
Blessed to master to master
They hide behind a mountain of a creature
If you do not like them
Then it's okay.

[BG-57]

Ultima Weapon (sword) and Ultima Weapon (monster)?

[McLovin']

Nope.

[_yeojina_]

Okay, let me think about this... and yes, I suck at riddles.

Stare deep into them: I think this has something to do with Ultimecia's castle.
For they are eternally rewarding: INFINATE GIL!!! Maybe not.
Blessed to master to master: Maybe something like the knights for the sorceresses.
They hide behind a mountain of a creature: Griever... *Drools for his defeat*
If you do not like them: I hate Cactuars.
Then it's okay: You mean Cactuars don't give a damn if I don't like them? COOL!

Overall: How the F am I supposed to know?

[McLovin']

You play the game silly.

Hint: It has to do with a certain side-quest.

[Shiny]

Um...The Brothers?

[Twilight Edge]

Hi, I'm new.Is it the underwater facility thing?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

tonberry by any chance?

[McLovin']

Not even close.

[Twilight Edge]

What about that crack near Trabia Garden?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

shumis? arguing rocks? moombas?

[McLovin']

One of you is on the right track...

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

zombie shakespeare?:D

[McLovin']

!?

[BG-57]

Shumi stones?

[McLovin']

Nope.

[BG-57]

The Shumi Leader's empty hands?

[McLovin']

Yeah.

[BG-57]

Like a stoplight
And just as deadly
If you ignore the colors
And their meanings

[McLovin']

The blue light near Bahamut.

[BG-57]

Not the Reactor Core.

[McLovin']

Oh. How about the pods near NORG.

[BG-57]

You are correct Sephiroth's Cage! :)

Your go.

[McLovin']

This could be hard...

A place to ease your body
A place where a base was set up
A place holding the officials
A place where you can recieve Chaos

[Noj_R]

The underwater research base?

If so I pass.

[McLovin']

Nope.

[Hambone]

Dollet?

[McLovin']

No.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Balamb Garden.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Shumi village? :confused:

[McLovin']

You are close with Balamb Garden...

[mj05]

Could it be the town of Balamb itself?

[McLovin']

Keep going.

[TheSpoonyBard]

The Balamb island/continent?

[Hambone]

The Balamb Hotel?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

The secret area in the Training Centre at Balamb Garden

[Twilight Edge]

Cid's room?

[The Last Oath]

Galbadia Garden?

[McLovin']

Kupo Man is right.

[The Last Oath]

haha, that was a good one sephi cage(in a good way)

[McLovin']

Thanks.

Explanation:

A place to ease your body~~~~~~you can rest there and restore HP
A place where a base was set up~~~~~~~Galbadia took over Balamb and made their HQ in the hotel
A place holding the officials~~~~~~it holds Rajiin and Fujiin
A place where you can recieve Chaos~~~~~you can draw Pandemona from Fujiin here (Pandemona is almost translated into Chaos in some language :D)

[BG-57]

Pandemonium literally means 'all the demons'. That's quite an image of the capital city of Hell filled with howling demons. :eek:

Which is why pandemonium means chaos, as you said.

[The Last Oath]

com'n hurry do the riddle

[Twilight Edge]

Yo,is this thread dead?

[The Last Oath]

I think no-one is responding lol

[IceAngel]

Can somone else do a riddle. I like doing riddles and coming up with stupid answers lol

[McLovin']

Ah, to make ya'll happy I'll make a riddle! :rolleyes2

Talking to us is a no no
Not saving me is a no no
Jumping from me is a no no
Destroying me too late is a no no
Who are we?

[The Last Oath]

Could it be Rinoa and Adel merged?

[IceAngel]

Bomb? i dont no

[The Last Oath]

Ice Angel, i love the way you say the most riducouslus things lol

[McLovin']

BOMB IS CORRECT!!!





nah just joshing ya :p

But here is a hint. The 'we' I am referring to is not one we but many different "we's"

[BG-57]

Talking to us is a no no (Dollet villagers)
Not saving me is a no no (the stray dog)
Jumping from me is a no no (The overpass that Selphie can jump down)
Destroying me too late is a no no (X-ATM092)
Who are we? (Dollet mission factors than can deduct points from the total score)

[McLovin']

Hoorah to BG-57! :)

[BG-57]

We do not move ourselves
But we are travelled by
We bestow our gifts
At the boundaries

[IceAngel]

Chocobos? Cars?

[McLovin']

The transports in Esthar?

[Hexarar]

Well... trains?

[The Last Oath]

Ragnarok?

[Twilight Edge]

garden?

[BG-57]

Well... trains?

You're on the right 'track' here. :D

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

t-board

[BG-57]

The answer relates to trains.

[TheSpoonyBard]

The train stations?

[BG-57]

Keep going.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

train tracks

[BG-57]

You're getting warmer.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Special SeeD carriages?

[BG-57]

Tracks was closer. Remember, the answer doesn't move.

[Shin Gouken]

Roads

[BG-57]

Nope. Would you like a hint?

[Twilight Edge]

Definitely.

[TheSpoonyBard]

Fate? Belief in predetermination? I've heard trains can be quite philosophical.

Could it be the tunnels, such as the one linking Balamb and Timber?

[nik0tine]

Bombs?

[BG-57]

No and no.

Hint: You can find out about this if you do the Obel Lake subquest.

[CStrife]

Doomtrain (you said it was related to trains!!):D

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

railroad bridge

[BG-57]

Almost. What can you find on railroad bridges?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

A break draw point? or the guy with the level7 cards?

EDIT: Maybe Draw Points in general

[BG-57]

Maybe Draw Points in general

You are correct, mobiletype! :)

Your go.

[McLovin']

Tracks!

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

If I were on wheels I'd be from the Pacific
On paper I'm unisexed
my blood is unpollutable
and my gift will help you complete the set

[IceAngel]

Pheonix ( just thought i'd start with the guessing :) )

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

nope
btw I'm interested in knowing where you got that idea from

[IceAngel]

just the line where it says 'my blood is unpollutable'. nothing else. I just couldn't gess anything at that moment.

[dante the demon prince]

is it garden

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

is it garden

way way off

[dante the demon prince]

um d district prison

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

nope
where are you getting your ideas from?

[dante the demon prince]

um could it be winhill

[PresZidane]

Umm....
Ultima Weapon?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

not winhill or ultima weapon. dante has been the closest so far but that's not saying much

[dante the demon prince]

is it esthar or deling

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

oh dear i think we need to think a bit harder people

[dante the demon prince]

timber

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

It's not a city, full stop

[dante the demon prince]

ummmm.................................... is it the ship knowns as the ragnarock

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

no and here's a good idea think up a list of ten and post them all at once. I don't want to leave a large trail of spam for the others

[dante the demon prince]

oh the gfs

[The Last Oath]

man this one is confusing

[TheSpoonyBard]

Could it be the suit of armour in the Winhill mansion? The 'gift' could be referring to the vase piece, suits of armour have no gender and no blood, so it cannot be polluted. I've no idea what the first line means. I'm not aware of an ocean-dweller ever having wheels.

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

i like the way Endless Twilight is taking in every line of the riddle rather than just random guessing. Unfortunately I have to say that even he is nowhere near it

[TheSpoonyBard]

How about a clue other than 'It's not a city."? I'm determined to solve this.

I know this is just a stab in the dark, but it's worked before. Is it Mobile Type 8?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

Clue: The set is something to do with a Limit Break

Mobile Type 8 is a pretty good guess but completely incorrect :)

[TheGoldenChocobo]

is it adamantine? or the the monster you get adamantine from... er Adamantoise thats it...?

[IceAngel]

"If I were on wheels I'd be from the Pacific
On paper I'm unisexed
my blood is unpollutable
and my gift will help you complete the set"

Hmmm.....
Is it the the place you get bahamut? The underground (sea) research facility?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

both wrong

[IceAngel]

Awww :(

[Laugh at face of Danger]

Tonberry! (sorry, that's just like my favourite thing to say, even if it's wrong!)
Eden?
Adel?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

nope

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Zell?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Elastoid? Belhelmel?

[IceAngel]

Is it a monster of some kind?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

clue 2: yes it is a monster

[nik0tine]

A Bomb?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

again?
nope

[nik0tine]

:p

[dante the demon prince]

is it tri-point

[Laugh at face of Danger]

impressive answer, i should say!

[dante the demon prince]

thank you




i see sanji

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

tri-point, are you for real?

[The Last Oath]

is it a malboro, Bahamut?,

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

nope
read the second line again and search for the name

[X Masta]

mesmerize?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

we are looking for a name that implies some sort of gender confusion

[IceAngel]

If I were on wheels I'd be from the Pacific
On paper I'm unisexed
my blood is unpollutable
and my gift will help you complete the set

Iron Clad? Oilboyle? Jumbo Cactuar?

Robot or Animal, monter thingy?

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

On paper I'm unisexed


1.you know it's a monster
2.you are looking at it's name
3.the name implies the question: male or female?

I've practically chewed up everything for this riddle you just need to search the list of monsters:)

[IceAngel]

Sphinxaur/Sphinxara?

[dante the demon prince]

tonberry

[Evolavas]

Propagator?

[*__*)]

chimera

[Lenna]

hmmm.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

This guy has been gone forever so someone can post a new riddle.

[McLovin']

Creeps.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

I'll say it again...he hasn't been on for more than a week now. NEW RIDDLE!

[Shiny]

Fine. Here. I tried to make this somewhat difficult, but the answer is simple. I hope this makes since...

My mystery lies within
But you can not discover this mystery until you search without
Discover more than once
After this journey is done
The hardest part has yet to begun
Do not try to withstand the outside before entering the inside
Once you have completed this you can then finally reach what's within

[IceAngel]

The Tomb of the Unknown King?

[Shiny]

No, sorry keep trying though.

[Crye 4 Me]

Could it be the Centra ruins andf the Odin and Tonberry qiests

[McLovin']

Get Odin. Then get Tonberry after. (or vice versa)

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

bahamut/ultima weapon sidequest

[DoaJ]

The deepsea research lab? Thats all I clould think of.

[IceAngel]

'My mystery lies within

Is it something to do with the chocobo forests?

[Shiny]

Is it something to do with the chocobo forests?
It does have something to do with a certain forest, but that's not the answer.

The deepsea research lab? Thats all I clould think of.
No, keep thinking.

bahamut/ultima weapon sidequest
You're thinking on the right track; it is a sidequest.

Get Odin. Then get Tonberry after. (or vice versa)
Nah...it's not that complicated. Think simpler.

Could it be the Centra ruins andf the Odin and Tonberry qiests
It's a sidequest, but not the one you stated. :D

[DoaJ]

Does it have to do with Cactuar Island? Cus:
the hardest part has yet to begun - Jumbo cactuar

maybe not...the rest doesnt really fit together....

[Crye 4 Me]

Is it the card club abd card queen sidequests

[Crye 4 Me]

the chobo sanctuary

[IceAngel]

Is it the Alien spotting (i forgot if there is a forest involved)?

[The Last Oath]

Is it Obel Lake, and the forest is where u find mr monkey?
