aight, lets hear it weimar
Sorry, I subscribe to threads and sometimes it forgets to email me more responses. Thanks devil's phoenix for PMing me.
We are first.
be dyslexic.
I THINK this contains anagrams or something like that....
is it something to do with the script errors in the game, e.g. "this guy are sick"?
btw, i resent being called devil's phoenix, it's d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x dammit! :D
The Guard Scorpion
We are first. The first boss of the game.
Be dyslexic. Doesn't Cloud say to "Attack while it's tail is up" when it means to not attack?
Good thing I came on here even though I should be getting emails.
TH: Anagrams? Not quite.
FV: Guard Scorpion? Close.
d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x: the script errors have nothing to do with the answer.
oh, btw, the second line is supposed to a lower case b, other wise the 2nd line doesn't make sense.
Oh.....hmmm... I don't get the riddle...i mean the 2nd line...what does that say?
It's telling you to be dyslexic. So, start flipping letters.
so basically it is full of anagrams since you're telling us to flip letters... aww man....Quote:

there are only 2 sentences, if one is an anagram and the other is telling us that it is an anagram i really dont see anything other than anagrams

We are first, the only thing i can think of is "we fire star" as an anagram but i don't know if it's right?
AVALANCHE?
They're basically the first thing you see. "Strife" can be made from part of the first sentence.
is it clouds clothing
STRIFE WEAR
WE ARE FIRST
No, only two letters are the "anagram." And it's not really an anagram. And being dyslexic doesn't mean you read the letters randomly.
Dyslexic mean you see/read things backwards. So 'saw' would seem like 'was'.
Tsrif ear ew
Then there's the matter of the 2 words that have to be switched. Question: is the 2nd line something that has to be solved, or is it just there to give directions?
So, the first line backwards is tsriferawe. Switch the s and t and you get striferawe. Am I on the right track? Also, apparently the b has to be lowercase. I don't see how that could be anything but a trick clue.
Did you try reading upside down?
Also, even though part of the first sentence is part of what you need to change, it's still giving you a hint as to the answer.
Well, that's a real tricky one.. Can't actually come up with anything.
By the way, hi everyone! i'm new in this thread :D
which part?Quote:

upside down? and u sed the fact that it was a little b was important. that would make eq. dunno wot it relates to though. actually an upside down e kinda looks like an a so maybe aq. an it needs rearranging so qa.
question and answer? still don't get it!?
There are only 2 letters you need to flip. You found one of them, but b upside down isn't q; it's something else. If you are having trouble with that, just look at the first line and try to solve it literally, although w/o solving the other puzzle, you won't have it narrowed down so you can solve it.
ummm.......... i am somtimes pink and sometimes red and i held one materia nicely what am i?
Aeris, and it's not your turn.
Is it 'MP'?
They're very first enemies you fight in the game,
And if you turn the first letter of each line upside down you get an M (W) and a P (b).
Yay, Enjolras got it! You're up.
upside down?, crazy dude, but brilliant, nice job enjolras
sorry wrong close but not what im thinking ofQuote:

Woot! I'll take it! I've already got like 15 riddles already made for this! But here's the problem....I'm on the wrong computer, and I can't get to the other one because its midnight and the guest is sleeping the room with the other computer! Can you all hold on for today(night)? Please????? I really want to post this riddle! please hold on till I get to the other computer? Please?
I 'll wait. But I don't know 'bout the other guys.
Thought, I hope it's a good one so we're not waiting for nothing. Like, "Stuck in a tube, but i'm a girl"..... Hm... Jenova?
Nah, Dragon Mage does some pretty good riddles.
Sorry it took so long, but here it is:
Racing pulse
Flip not flop
Felines fear lashing out
Celestial force
Priscilla means business
Will make a crater
Cloud 9
(Thanks for waiting!)
is it meteor?
Tifa's Limit Breaks?
Racing pulse Beat Rush
Flip not flop Somersault
Felines fear lashing out Waterkick
Celestial force Meteodive
Priscilla means business Dolphin Blow
Will make a crater Meteor Strike
Cloud 9 Final Heaven
BG is probably right
darn. I made it too easy, I know I did! *sigh* (well crap)
you got it BG-57. yur go. Would you give reasoning please, BG?
I thought I did. :confused: Oh well:
Beat rush could describe a racing heartbeat.
Somersault is a backflip.
Cats are afraid of water and a kick is lashing out.
Meteors are celestial objects that dive, creating force.
Priscilla's friend is Mr. Dolphin. And his blow means business.
Meteors make impact craters when they strike.
The Final heaven is sometimes called Cloud 9.
dam your good. I'll make a better one next time.
Those are fun to make, but are getting too common so they aren't hard anymore. *resets his subscription in hopes that that will fix it*
Well, the Cloud's Swords riddle was still fresh in my mind.Quote:

And therein was my mistake. Don't worry, the next one will be really hard. :)
My guess:
The machine in Cosmo Canyon of the solar system? (It 'hides' the huge materia but everyone knows they exist.)
So it's something that either lights up three times, or has three lights on it (or maybe tells you something or gets brought to your attention three times), somewhat related to the sun, as well as kinda cross-shaped, but whatever's hidden near, beside, behind or inside it isn't much of a big deal.
Great, I'm happily stumped.
Or it could be something that the story touches on (alights upon) 3 times. Aeris is all about holy and cosmic. She was 'sacrificed' in a way. The White materia was 'hidden' in the water. My seconed guess is that it has something to do with Aeris.
It's not machinery or Aeris.
Psi's reasoning is essentially correct.
HintThe illumination is from three separate light sources.
is it the planet? at the end of the story it is illuminated by 3 objects (the sun, meteor and lifestream) and it hides the lifestream which everyone knows about. not sure about the cross thing
It's not the planet, although the sun is one of the three sources of illumination.
The temple of the ancients? OH I THINK I GOT IT!!!! The waterfall! Right, is it the waterfall? The one where whatsherface (vincent's sweetie) is?
No and no.
The materia fountain?
It's not the materia fountain.
BTW, you meant Lucretia in your last guess?
can i ask, is the solar and cruxiform to do with the sources of light? and the last 2 lines refer to the answer of the riddle correct?
Yes you can and no they're not.Quote:

so it is something that:
- is lit by 3 sources fo light
- is "solar" maybe its another source of light, or maybe a cosmic entity
- is cross shaped
- and hides something that everyone knows about
i want to say it has something to do with safer sephiroths giant move thing where he destroys the planets (can't remember the name :D) but it's probably wrong
The Parasol weapon for Aeris?
It's not Supernova or Parasol.
I would make a fast guess on something that is protecting the planet, like Lifestream or the Ancients or something like that. Just a wild guess. But I must say that it's dreadfully tricky..
Thrice illuminated
Solar and cruxiform
It covers but hides
No great secrets
"Thrice illuminated", no bloody idea.
"Solar and cruxiform" Well, some sort of magnitude power. Dunno.
At least, "It covers but hides", could be that "It" protects something, but remains hidden.
"No great secrets", everybody knows about it. No big secret.
hmmm, don corneos room??
i believe it has 3 lights
the solar and cruxiform????
it hides the hyper behind his bed
and everyone knows about it
yes, yes I did. I can never remember her name!Quote:
BTW, you meant Lucretia in your last guess?
The alter in the forgotten city?
The Golden Saucer?
Illuminated by the sun in the desert, fireworks and... um, lights?
Solar = Golden (pehaps?) and kind of coss-shaped (ish).
It covers the ruins of Old Corel, now a prison. I wouldn't call that secret paticularly "great", would you? :p
Not the Lifestream, Ancients, Don Corneo's room, the Forgotten City altar, or Gold Saucer.
HintThe three sources of illumination are three different things.
i figured it was a bad guess, oh well
Gah. This is a really tricky riddle...
Is it an object or a place?
It's an object in a particular place.
Well...I think it may just be JENOVAs jar thingy in Nibelheim reactor. You see it three times, i think, yet JENOVA is no great secret in the game. Solar and Cruxiform? I dunno.
POSSIBLY liten by Meteor, Holy, and/ or Lifestream... I would say...Highwind...but like I said POSSIBLY.
Riddle repost:
The materia caves?Quote:
Thrice illuminated
Solar and cruxiform
It covers but hides
No great secrets
Key to the ancients?
Not the JENOVA containment, the Highwind, Materia Caves, or Key of the Ancients.
Did you check the previous guesses? One of the three sources of illumination has already been confirmed.
Hmm, Aeris? Wilde guess. . . . . Or maybe Midgar?
your only allowed one guess at a time
A sun, what do we see illuminated by a sun? Lots of things. Illuminated makes me think its a rising sun, or something...is it Seto's petrified body?
Um... The Sky?
Um...it's an object. :greenie:Quote:

Um...maybe you're asking for a hint here? :pQuote:

I would say it is a common source, but my hint was referring specifically to the other two unidentified sources.
Omnislash...? I dunno. The more guesses, the closer we'll get towards an answer....:P
It's not Omnislash.
HintYou can approach solving this in other ways: either guess the location or the other two light sources. Either way would narrow it down considerably.
The location is evidently the surface, and probably not Midgar. I know that much. I'm guessing the two sources of illumination to probably be magic and electric lights.
Yes, it's a surface location that isn't Midgar.
You're right about the electric lights and wrong about magic.
Thrice illuminated (Lit by Sun, Electric Lights, ????)
Solar and cruxiform (Sun and Cross Motiff)
It covers but hides
No great secrets (Nothing Important)
is it the golden saucer?
third light source perhaps the moon?
The third light source is fire.
Perhaps the ropeway station? no, maybe Nibelheim or Nibelheim reactor...?
or it could be the place at Juno's planetarium.......
i'm bad with names havent played since '98
It's still not Gold Saucer. It's not the moon either.Quote:

It's not in Wutai or Cosmo Canyon.

isn't it the place where you meet Caith Sith?......... just something similar........
Do you mean Gold Saucer? If so, then no.
it's the sun and cross motiff that's throwing me off. Could you elaborate a bit more on that, please?
HintIt's a recurrent pattern in the answer, like squares on a checkerboard.
is it the mural on the wall of the room in the temple of the ancients where you fight the dragon?
It's not the mural in the Temple of the Ancients.

...Makes me think of a rug or carpet in a room. There could be, for instance, sunlight streaming in through a window, with candlelight and some form of electric light both inside the room. And the rug/carpet would simply cover the floor.
That's not a guess, obviously--just an idea to get thoughts churning.
oh yeah im thinking of this town where cloud and party stay at and find a materia on the floor of the inn......... damn im bad with towns lol i really got to play again >.<
I thought about practically every single Inn in the whole game, and the only Inn I can think of where that might happen is Icicle Inn. You mean Icicle Inn? A few other inns have Elixirs or the item pack in Aeris's house, but no materia as I recall.
The answer is the carpet on the floor next to the wall map at Icicle Inn. It has a pattern that resembles suns and crosses, it is near ceiling lights, sunlight through the window, and a lit fireplace.
The nothing important it covers is simpler than a materia; it is simply a patch of bare floor.
Musenji had the breakthrough in all but name, but Weimar Pluto Knight VII supplied the name. In a case like this I'll just suggest whoever posts first gets to go.
You cheeky git. How do you come up with these riddles?
Usually I just thumb through the strategy guide and latch onto an image, item, monster, or location that inspires me. In this case it was the image of Icicle Inn. Originally I had planned to make it about the wall map, but the pattern on the carpet grabbed my attention. :pQuote:

Mmm, well okay, I just came back to check today. I wasn't really offering mine as a guess, but since Weimar hasn't posted yet I guess I can post one. (I did think of icicle town, with the image of sunlight streaming through a window, and also thought of the idea of a fireplace instead of candlelight...)
Okay, so here:
Like a simple science project
Saturation unto a string
Or adult’s chalice elect,
Is the nature of this thing.
You may spare the hopper,
With your new hope erected,
Or “rightfully gain copper”
When trials are recollected.
nice rhyming :D
the only thing i can think of is just from the saturation of a string line, and that's seto's tears. they fall at a constant, slow speed and along the exact same line. anything to do with that?
Mmm, no, I ought to note that the first two lines refer to something in real life. A real science project that kids sometimes do. Lemme know if that's out-of-bounds.
:D I, too, go through numerous walkthroughs I randomly find for inspration. The long lists of monsters, enemy skills, materia, armor, and weapons are of great use (which is how I came up with the 'Cloud's Swords' riddle. Notice they were listed in alphabetical order?)Quote:

As for the current riddle:
What kind of science project are we looking at here? Volcano? Magnets? Grass? Let me narrow it down: Geology, Physics, Biology, Astronomy. Which category would it belong to?
Well, I did say saturation unto a string, which is literally what the project consists of. It's chemistry.
Osmosis involved here? lol, sorry, but I'm drawing a blank. Chemistry; now I'm thinking of potions, elixers, something along that line. Hero drink. But this is just pondering aloud.
The experiment involves the use of water, but has nothing to do with osmosis. That's all I'll say for a bit. Otherwise, maybe think about the other lines too.
the only science project that comes to mind is that you evaporate water so that crystals are formed, if you have a string in a glass of water containing, say, ordinary salt or sugar (the salt is dissolved in the water), when the water evaporates, the crystals form on the string instead...
so the only thing that comes to mind as an answer would be materia, with it's refining process and all that... although i'm probably waaay off...
But i'm studying a science-program in school so that's why i know of different experiments... if that one's wrong then i'll probably think of another one... HEHE :D
Timster I think you mean an experiment in which
you make a saturated solution of one compound (CuSO4,
copper sulphate, because it's pretty :P) and in that
solution you hang a cristal of that compound (copper sulphate).
Then you leave it alonoe and wait for the compound to come
out of it's solution, it will then bind to the already present
crystal of the compound.
The proces is called crystalliztion. So I guess the riddle has
to do something with those materia crystals.
Its allowed, definitly, and i've made chemistry references before in my riddles (no one got it).
As for WHAT the answer is, saturation of a string...well, most of us know what saturation is, but in crystalisation, it is definitly not the string is saturated. The solution is saturated (works better if its heated too), not the string. So I honestly cannot think of any chemistry experiment (and i've done a few) that fits this description. The thing that hits me here is "rightfully gain copper". This could indeed refer to the pretty blue copper sulphate, but you dont gain copper - you gain a copper salt. A possible alternative is that it refers to a piece of copper equipment, and the crystals might be some of the many strange articles seen in the game which may be crystals.
yeah i meant like crystallization but i know the experiment you're talking of (did it like 2-3 weeks ago actually, isn't it nice when you're in a science program:D, experiments and all that...btw the pretty thing is because it's blue crystals instead of white:p) and thats not the one i'm refferring to, mine is ALOT simpler (at least the chemistry behind the experiment)
but anyway, back to the subject... it says in the riddle saturation UNTO a string... meaning the string wasn't saturated in the beginning, the sat. is added, hence my choice for example experiment, when the water evaporates, the salt simply moves on to the string, because it breaks the structure of the water (aaw man i don't know what it's called in english!), it's a difference in environment sort of...
maybe like the refinging process of mako creating materia, hence my guess, materia
The experiment, I know what you mean, is indeed crystalisation, and the reason it forms is because the salt which cannot be held in solution any longer solidifies in groups - crystals. I suppose now it makes sense.
The Mako condensing machinery at Nibelheim Reactor?Quote:

Yep, I was referring to the project where you mix sugar in boiling water to the point of saturation, then let the water cool, and crystals form on the string. Didn't occur to me that you could do it with salt too...usually kids would opt for sugar so that they could eat the crystals, but sugar vs. salt isn't the important thing.
does it have anything to do with the mako shells that the sister ray fires?
Nope!
is it related to the yuffie sidequest?
the trials could be referring to the pagoda quest...
Is it to do with Red XIII and Seto etc?
Nope, neither of those.
Edit: Hmm, okay, a hint...it has nothing to do with materia or mako.
I want to say icecicles. i don't rightly know why. Otherwise, I would've guessed the whole 'thing' of mako that sephiroth was in when Cloud gave him materia of doomy-death. But that's not it, becuase the answer has nothing to do with mako. Crap. Is this a process or an object? Something you do?
Not icicles...
There was some important information about the nature of the answer revealed from finding out what the science project was about...at least I thought there was.
Is the second stanza a complete mystery? It's about a different aspect of the answer than the first stanza. "Your new hope" refers to the answer itself. So it's an object.
So if it's not a Materia, then it's not Holy. Which can only mean...
...that I haven't got a clue.
does it have anything to do with the city of the ancients (or whatever it's called, it's the one near bone village...
Anything to do with Cloud's memories? 'recollected' made me think of it, and I don't know what else to guess.
No, to both. Repost:
Like a simple science project

Is the nature of this thing.
You may spare the hopper,
With your new hope erected,
Or “rightfully gain copper”
When trials are recollected.
Another hint: line 7 refers to something engrained in U.S. culture, which is why it's in quotes. I see now that a lot of the regulars are not from the U.S. ..You might still have heard what this refers to.
not. helping. I live in the U.S. and I've never heard that before. the quests to get the Huge materia?
Okay...it's not the thing itself, it's a reference to it. Think "really well-known phrases that involve the 'gaining' of copper".
Yeah, I'm guessing this riddle is a real stretch. I'll give the answer tonight or tomorrow. I'll bring my body armor. :-)
(I said it had nothing to do with mako or materia..)
XD
ok, so its the crystallization of something. no mako/materia. check.
2nd stanza:
it's the reference to the said object of crystallization. check
the phrase of hard work....no check. That my good sir is where i'm lost.
P.S.: Please check out the riddle thread on the AC forum. if you're stuck here, go there.
not the process of crystallization...
...Hard work? The expression isn't about hard work. Unless you're a shopaholic, I suppose....
Ah ha! ok, now we're getting somewhere.
ok so...
it's the object that is formed by crystallization. check
not mako/materia. check
2nd.
you buy it (?) or you get it from effort.
reference to object formed by crystallization that you can buy.
Ice crystal?
heh, I meant the other way around. If you're a shopaholic, "doing this" would be very difficult.
Ok, so you don't buy it.
but an Ice Crystal you can't buy. You have to get it from the chocobo races.
p.s. check out the riddle thread on the AC forum.
Ack! Sorry, no, it's not the ice crystal.
Edit: hint: but it IS an item.
Edit 2: hint 2: line 7 refers to an expression involving a penny. hence the copper..
hint 3: "hopper" refers to a garbage hopper, and it's symbolic, not literal.
hint 4: the answer is two words. stanza 1 is about one of the words (and the item's "nature"), and stanza 2 is about the other word (what the item does).
Ah! See when you said 'hopper' I was thinking like the grain hopper! *chuckles*
The only thing that comes to mind about the penny is a Luck Source.
THE SAVE CRYSTAL!
:D:D:D
"A penny saved is a penny earned." (Penny earned = Gain copper.)
I hope I'm right, my guess was a real "eureka" moment!
Yep, okay, and here's the breakdown.
Like a simple science project
Saturation unto a string (the sugar crystallization thing)
Or adult’s chalice elect,
chalice = glass,
adult = only for adults, meaning involving alcohol
elect = high-class or high-quality...a crystal wine glass
Is the nature of this thing. (the thing is crystal)
You may spare the hopper,
With your new hope erected, (keep from wasting/"trashing" your time [dying and starting from outside the cave] by having access to this thing)
Or “rightfully gain copper”
When trials are recollected. ("earn" the recollection of your trials by saving them first)
You're up, mage!
I'm going to hurt you. Both of you. That had me stumped and I was the only one guessing for the longest time! Then suddenly, out of nowhere, comes LM waltzing in with the answer! *screams*
I understand, it's frustrating when that happens.
It's a risk of the game, I suppose. Kinda like how in Wheel of Fortune if you get some letters up on the board they help the other people just as much as you.
*rummages for better analogy*
Well I've been "lurking" on this thread for a few days, never having been able to come up with any answer that you yourself hadn''t already thought of, and had rejected. ;)Quote:

I'm sure I've got it, but I don't want to spoil it for others who would like a chance to solve it. So, here's my answer:
(SPOILER)Yuffie hiding in the urn outside Turtle's Paradise?
Heaven = paradise
Chelonia = turtle
Madonna = noble or important woman
Yuffie is stealing the materia to return her family pride, and she hides in the urn outside "Chelonia's Heaven"
...maybe the song refers to a noise she makes from inside the urn?

Welcome!
(Go to editga, and at the bottom under "additional options", click on "show your signature".)
not to be a partypooper and spoil all the fun for you but you will have the admins and knights after you so i'd suggest moving on to the help forum or PM eachother, or even me i'll be glad to help, especially about sigs, but you shouldn't post such things here. so PM instead of posting here...
And hi Eagleheart, if you want to introduce yourself, you can make a "newbie thread" as they're called in the general chat forum
and btw this is just an advice...because if you continue you probably WILL be warned by admins or others... and you probably wouldn't like that...
EDIT: BTW nice guess musenji, i think you got it and you beat me to it too ;)... well you snooze you loose, i guess...
Oh, I don't really plan on introducing myself. I'm Eagleheart, and that's all anybody really ever need know. I just plan on being here and solving riddles and if it should so happen that I can figure out how to get my signature working, that'd be neat, but it's not tremendously necessary and hardly something worth making a thread over.
Yeah. I was joking. I thought it was a bit of a comical situation; you know, how you just seemed to materialize out of nowhere with the answer. mrh?Quote:

the promise of better days;
Inspiring awe, then hatred and fear--
regret comes slow but stays.
I've travelled 'round the world, my friend,
by wing and wheel and rail,
watched creation bled to serve
and heard its solemn wail.
I've seen great mountains, and many a village,
touched clouds and the depths of the sea;
The riddle to solve is how, my friend,
these occurred simultaneously.
OMG! I like this riddle. Very nice.
My first thought: Time materia.
2nd thought: gil
3rd thought: the Weapons
4th thought: gaia
and now I'm still thinking.
Mako energy?
None of those.
The Shin-Ra electric power company?
I'm thinking something in the line of all vehicles
you'll posess. Maybe on the moment they all come
together (haven't played through whole FF VII yet,
I don't know of such occurance).
Neither of those. Light mage, you're clearly on the right track, and you're very close, but we had something slightly more specific in mind.
Mmmkay, Mako reactor(s)?
I am but a sign of the times, my friend, - Mako energy was a big evolution times changed.
the promise of better days; -Towns are promised to get a better life once they have mako reactors.
Inspiring awe, then hatred and fear-- - First people think Mako is good (they're shocked), then they begin to hate it and try do do
stuff about the Mako reactor. Then Shinra takes over the town
and (threathens) to destroy it.
regret comes slow but stays. - At first it seems good, but people find out Mako energy is the lifeforce of the planet, which is being drained. And creatures get mutated because of Mako reactors.
I've travelled 'round the world, my friend, - Mako reactors are everywhere across the globe.
by wing andw heel and rail,
watched creation bled to serve
and heard its solemn wail.
I've seen great mountains, and many a village,
touched clouds and the depths of the sea; -Perhaps refers to locations of Mako reactors.

Close to spot on with the logic, but again not exactly the answer we had in mind.
(A hint: the answer can fit in the palm of the hand, but it can also dwarf a house.)
Maybe you're talking about the Lifestream (Mako),
I guess it could fit in the riddle.
But then again, Lifestream would fit ALOT of riddles.
Maybe black materia?
.. eee.
Mmm, nope, neither of those.
Hey musenji :D, I've bounced around a few ideas, and I have got two, neither of which I can entirely fit, but I'll go with clones/Jenova cells:
I am but a sign of the times, my friend,
the promise of better days; (They were meant to be the new brand of warriors)
Inspiring awe, then hatred and fear-- (Sephiroth)
regret comes slow but stays. (Maybe Nibelheim, maybe just general
I've travelled 'round the world, my friend, (The clones are everywhere)
by wing and wheel and rail, (Cloud manages all of these)
watched creation bled to serve (Jenova herself witnessed this from the start, and Cloud in Avalanche more directly)
and heard its solemn wail. (Sephiroth does this when he is asleep and learns the knowledge of the ancients)
I've seen great mountains, and many a village,
touched clouds and the depths of the sea;
The riddle to solve is how, my friend,
these occurred simultaneously. (My problem with this is the second part, Cloud sees mountains and villages simulatneously in space, but unless 'touching' is metaphorical then that doesn't carry to the next line...)
I do think this is wrong, but my other guesses, which are closer to Light Mage's answer don't fit well enough yet.
Hey! :D
You're right that that's not it. Did you see the hint in post 3364?
"Touched" does literally mean "came into contact with", though "seen/watched/heard" are less literal.
The Huge Materia?
No, you were closer with your last guess.
Edit: A repost:

The riddle to solve is how, my friend,

Hints:
-"touched" literally means came into physical contact with
-"seen/watched/heard" are not quite so literal
-the answer can be smaller than a fist or larger than a house
"Shinra corporation" is the closest guess so far, but we're looking for something slightly more specific.
Does this have something to do with the deap sea mako reactor?
How these occurred simultaneously -> How clouds andQuote:

Cloud and the depths of the sea occurred simultaneously.
Abstraction!
What the last three lines mean is simply this:
How can the answer be in physical contact with clouds in the sky and water at the bottom of the sea--at the same time?
Umm, the sunken Gelinka?
I re-iterate: touching clouds in the sky and the depths of the sea at the same time.
The Gelnika could be involved in the answer, actually, but is not the answer itself, as it could have touched only one of those things at a time.
Technology?
Nope...while technology itself is the wing, wheel and rail, the answer only travels by these things.
Edit: ...or rather, travels on them.
The Shinra logo?
I am but a sign of the times, my friend, (Actually literally a 'sign')
the promise of better days; (Shinra's message)
Inspiring awe, then hatred and fear-- (Again Shinra, also represting the actual image/association nature of the answer)
regret comes slow but stays. (Referring to above)
I've travelled 'round the world, my friend
by wing and wheel and rail, (On trains, cars and the Highwind)
watched creation bled to serve
and heard its solemn wail. (Its on the reactors)
I've seen great mountains, and many a village, (Its in a lot of villages, and in the Nibelheim reactor, plus on the highwind and rocket)
touched clouds and the depths of the sea; (Highwind, rocket, underwater reactor, Gelnika)
The riddle to solve is how, my friend,
these occurred simultaneously. (Its on all of these at the same time)#
-"touched" literally means came into physical contact with (Its physically painted or located on things)
-"seen/watched/heard" are not quite so literal (As above)
-the answer can be smaller than a fist or larger than a house (Logo can be made any size)
I actually don't know if the logo is on any of these things, but it fits.
Spot on, old bean! Good stuff, good stuff. To be quite honest, neither musenji or I actually went and checked to make sure that the logo was in all the places we said it was, we just made fairly safe assumptions. Also, the logo is in my signature. Which wasn't really meant to serve as a hint, it's just irony.
Okay, its been a while since I did this :) Could be hard, or I might have given enough to work from:
Somewhere in amid Garden’s throng,
It sounds like its before the storm.
What comes after may not off?
The water's edge blessed by the warm.
Below the surface life is heard,
Under Midas’ cup,
That’s not a word.
The question that should spring to mind,
Is what is destined by these lines?
EDIT: just wanted to say kudos to Eagleheart and musenji for their riddle, loved how literally the first line actually gives the answer :D.
So we're looking for an event?
Somewhere in amid Garden’s throng, (Midgar "a MID GARdens's")
It sounds like its before the storm. (Kalm, the one that comes before the storm)
What comes after may not off? (Junon. June comes after may, "on" not off)
The water's edge blessed by the warm. (Costa "coast" del Sol "of the sun" The coast is the water's edge, the sun is the warm)
Below the surface life is heard, (Mideel. The lifestream is beneath it?)
Under Midas’ cup, (Gold Saucer)
That’s not a word. (I'd have to guess...gongaga? Definitely not a word)
The question that should spring to mind,
Is what is destined by these lines? (Various cities in FFVII)
The only lines I'm not sure of are the fifth and seventh, but I'm almost positive of all the others.
Holy crap, I'm impressed. Gongaga is correct, I thought of changing the clue, but I got lazy by the end :) Line five isn't right, and neither is your answer, but you're on the right lines (obviously).
i would guess that the wrong one is corel/north corel as the other towns have been in order and it is between costa del sol and gold saucer
cosmo canyon, seeing as they're (as d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x said) the locations in order timewise through the game, and the next destination would be cosmo canyon....
Thats the one, Cosmo Canyon it is :)
Corel was "Below the surface life" is heard, as in sounds like coral. Worded to throw people off and think it was linked to the line above until Eagleheart got most of the riddle in one guess :)
i'll make a riddle soon :) haven't made one in a while... so give me some time... and i'll have it up...
*jittery with anticipation*
alright, here it is, i'm hoping it's a really hard one...
The riddle:
With one of the strongest defences,
I'm well hidden...
You may find a way to raise your strength in many ways,
through me,
by breaking and bending reality...
i'm going to guess it's sephiroth's core but only based on the first couple of lines. not sure how it fits into the rest of the riddle.
nope, it's not...
My first thought was the debug room... It fits pretty much everything loosely, but I doubt its right, seems a little too obscure for the riddle...
nope...
Ruby Weapon?
Repost:
Is it Cloud's mind?Quote:

Knight's of the Round Materia?
With one of the strongest defences,
I'm well hidden.........................Hidden on and umarked island.
You may find a way to raise your strength in many ways,
through me,............................most powerful materia; easy kills.
by breaking and bending reality...This refers to the summoning itself, when the area around the target shatters and the target enters what seems to be another dimension.
OK, here is what i think it is...I have it in all but name...its a enemy with very strong defence, probably some form of shell (well hidden) and you can get :skull::skull::skull::skull:loads of experience and AP by killing it...using Demi. I think.
Cloud's Apocalypse sword?
With one of the strongest defences, = Really high power
I'm well hidden... = Hidden in the Ancient Forest
You may find a way to raise your strength in many ways,
through me, = x3 Materia growth
by breaking and bending reality... = You have to re-arrange the landscape to get access to the Ancient Forest
nooo to all of you...
hint is definitely necessary: IT'S A LOCATION
the gelnika?
With one of the strongest defences, --> the strong enemies
I'm well hidden... --> underwater
You may find a way to raise your strength in many ways, --> morph enemies for different kinds of sources
through me,
by breaking and bending reality... --> not sure on this one? maube cos of hades? or maybe cos u can make urself superhuman in ther?
