Strategy Guide. ;)
sounds like a materia to me. the command materia that allows throw and coin?
No, it's a monster.
The Grangalan enemies? The smallest ones are called Grangalan Jr. Jr. and drops the least gil, the middle ones only have one Jr. in their name and drops a bit more, while the big one is simply Grangalan and drops the most. So while they don't drop a lot of gil, the "older" ones drop more.
Or one could reason another way and say that if you kill the Grangalan before it reproduces it doesn't give a whole lot, but if you let it reproduce and then kill the offspring, you'll get a good deal more. That way it "improves with age" too, in a way.
Trickplay?
Good guess but no.Quote:

Unlikely I know but... Sephiroth in his final form, one might consider him stingy as the final battle you get no EXP from him but you do get to see the ending, the do I improve with age, maybe could be a reference to the level of your party, if you level to 99 his strength is increased, but only if you are level 99.
It's not Sephiroth in any of his forms.
Huge HintThe lines are refering to the external meanings of the monster's name, not in-game.
Hmmm...I keep trying to think of a monster that mimes you or your level or abilities or something, but can't think of any. So my guess is: Behemoth
Not Behemoth.
Resurrection!
Reading through all the hints for this riddle, I'm wondering if it might be some kind of mythological reference. Like one of the names of the enemies might be a mangled reference to some mythological character who fits the description posted in the riddle. Midgar Zolom, for instance, is a mangling of Midgarðsormr from Norse mythology - I know Midgar Zolom has already been guessed, but I'm wondering if there are any other enemies whose names are mistranslations of mythological names. Am I on the right track?
Welcome aboard!
It's not from mythology, but you have the right idea. Lines 1 & 2 refer to the origin of a particular product with this name, while lines 3 & 4 refer to something else with the same name that's consumable.
Repost:
Am I stingy?
You decide
I do improve
With age, maybe
The rather questionable answer is "Hedgehog Pie." How a hedgehog is "stingy" is beyond me, but "pie" is the only consumable item that appears as the second word of a monster's name. Pies don't generally improve with age - actually, they tend to go bad - but the number "pi" does become more accurate as you use more decimal places. Alternately, as the concept has grown older, we've found more accurate decimal places for it.
Ahh, of course, that makes sense. And hedgehogs are stingy because they have spines. Spines that sting you. Therefore they're stingy.
I'd say you got it, congratulations.
It's not Hedgehog Pie, but you're close.
Think drinks.
Well, wine improves with age, but I can't find any monsters with names that relate to wine... or any other alcoholic drinks (or drinks at all), for that matter. Or maybe there's some kind of brand that I'm not familiar with that's referenced in one of their names.
Edit: The only answer I could think of is Scotch. Scotch isn't a monster, but his name is also a type of whisky (which does improve with age), and also a name for someone from Scotland, and the Scottish have a reputation for being stingy.
Scotch is correct! Your go. :D
Scotch? I can not recall where it is nor weather it is a person or an item.....
An enemy in Don Corneo's House.
Alright! Here's my riddle. It's my first attempt, so go easy on me.
I have no heart,
But I am far from heartless.
I have less than most,
But I can do more with less.
I can be killed,
But I can never die.
If used right, I can unleash ultimate power,
But who I unleash it on is a different story.
So use me wisely,
Unless you wish to take the risk.
Who am I?
By the way, if you give an answer, I want the reason why you gave that answer. If you give an answer and no reason, I will just ask you why you think your answer is right. Unless you can give me a satisfactory reason, I won't say whether you're right or not. This way I know you're not just randomly guessing and getting lucky.
Nevermind my last guess. I'd like to say Cait Sith
He a "robot" so of course he doesn't have a heart, but he does sacrifice himself for the party so he is caring
again a robot doesn't really have anything
He "died" when the temple imploded in on him but came back later as a second Cait Sith
He has a limit that can cause instant death on the enemy
But he also has the instant party killer limit!
You got it, the answer was indeed Cait Sith.
"I have no heart,
But I am far from heartless"
As you said, he's artificial so he doesn't have a literal heart, but he is caring so he isn't heartless.
"I have less than most,
But I can do more with less"
This refers to the fact that Cait Sith only has two Limit Breaks, whereas all the others have seven (except Vincent, who has four). However, Cait Sith's Limit Breaks are more versatile, and can have more results, so he can do more with less.
"I can be killed,
But I can never die."
As you said, since he's artificial, even if he "dies" another one can just be made.
"If used right, I can unleash ultimate power,
But who I unleash it on is a different story."
Again, as you said, this refers to two results of his Slots Limit Break, Game Over (instant death to all enemies) and Death Joker (instant death to all allies).
"So use me wisely,
Unless you wish to take the risk."
"Risk" is another word for "gamble", and Cait Sith's Limit Breaks are based on gambling.
"Who am I?"
The answer is Cait Sith.
Very good. Your turn!
Ah, okay.Quote:

Curses! You are correct. It was too easy. I should have thought about it more ^__^
Since it's an open round, is it okay if I take it again? I actually had a few riddles planned out beforehand XD
Here's my second riddle.
Beyond the door that no key can open,
The rejected one lies in wait.
Two faces has he,
One of power and one of wisdom.
Yet if you possess the courage to face him,
He may show the way to a great secret.
Can you tell me of whom I speak?
Again, I want a reason for your guess.
Lost Number?
It seems to be the Lost Number. Here's why:
Beyond the door that no key can open,
It is within the safe in the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim, and a safe has a door which no key can open (at least not all safes have a key or a keyhole).
The rejected one lies in wait.
It is largely implied that the Lost Number is a rejected experiment.
Two faces has he,
A creature with two faces, or more correctly, two different sides.
One of power and one of wisdom.
Power refers to physical attacks while wisdom refers to magical attacks. (This analogy I agree with.)
Yet if you possess the courage to face him,
It is an optional side Boss you can fight.
He may show the way to a great secret.
The great secret that is referred to here is likely to be Vincent.
Can you tell me of whom I speak?
Lost Number.
PS: Forgot to mention that by 'show the way' in the second to last line, it refers to the key for unlocking the door to the room (or is it the hidden door to the basement, can't recall) that let's you get Vincent.
I'm giving it to Shinwa Tsuki, since she gave a reason. I did say I wouldn't accept it without a reason, so no complaining, Karifean.
Anyway, your reasoning was spot on. Well done!
Meh. I'm too lazy to explain my reasonings, besides the fact that usually they're pretty obvious (unless it's a riddle by BG-57). But it would've been an open round again anyway, so whatever.
TwilightLord is returning us to the golden age of riddling where if you don't give justification then you don't get a guess :p Tough love, it seems!
XD I like to know that people are actually thinking their answers through rather than just guessing randomly.
It's easier for you to give a clue if you know people's reasoning!
i wouldve said Lost Number to ^^
how many times is it now that the answer has been lost number?
Haha, odd how one should make it clear their reasoning when it is desired by the riddler.
Here's my riddle - which is centered for no reason:
Motion sickness,
Unreasonable rage,
Both are cured by this.
I can't see a thing,
Someone turned the light off,
Restore me with this.
All I ask is for some quite,
Wear this and pipe down.
What is this?
Your lips on my skin,
That is all I need...
Please change me back!
The sand wights my eyes,
It is time for bed.
This dust? What is it?
This is all I'm going to write for this riddle. Take note, these stanza's are for different things. I would like the collective answer, and the individual answers. As, much I would like to have the guessers reasoning, I won't bark though.
tranquilizer
eye drops
curse ring
maidens kiss / you have been toaded
um........ mute mask?
Hypo, you've got three out of the five correct - int the order that you've listed, you also have one more correct but the wrong stanza.
tranq
eye drops
mute mask
maidens kiss
dream powder
Yup. That's it.
I don't like to judge how easy a riddle may be, after all it might be pretty easy or rather difficult.
I am a box without key or hinge, yet inside two treasures are hid.
You only have to give a reason if you r the twilightlord
You pretty much stole that from The Hobbit, only changed a few words.
Anyway, I'm gonna guess the egg at Fort Condor. The original riddle's answer was an egg, and the egg at Fort Condor contains Phoenix Materia and Huge Materia, so two treasures.
I was getting all excited because I thought I had the answer and then I saw there was another page. Dammit! xD
Actually it doesnt contain both, it only contains the phoenix materia.
that is not the correct answer.
Is it the safe in the Nibelheim mansion?
no it is not, that has a hinge.
Hm, I feel it has something to do with a Chocobo for some odd reason.Quote:

I'd've said those fellas had a hinge, but then they don't really make all that much sense anyway.
I think it is because of the Russian dolls toy that the Grangalan(s) are based off of have no hinge. Here are some examples: 2 Clever Blog: Eggs-actly This Many Days to Easter, Russian eggs | Flickr - Photo Sharing!, and Matryoshka doll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
I thought they open to bring out a medium sized guy, but the medium guy brings out 2 guys making 3 'treasures' inside the original guy so dont get it :P
There's actually three little guys in the medium guy. BUT NONE OF THIS IS A RIDDLE. NEW RIDDLE PLOX
Right, I'm takin' this. This might be easy, but it sounded fun in my head so I wanted to give it a try.
If you want our treasure,
It's hidden out of sight,
Put your hands behind your back
And squawk with all your might!
Just to be clear, the answer I'm looking for is what this is describing. I also want to know what exactly the "treasure" is and where this takes place.
Squawk... that sounds like it could be a chocobo or an avian enemy.... Just throwing it out there.
You're right with one of those. Saying which one would practically be giving it away.
Sweet....
one of the chocobos at the chocobo farm gives you the choco/mog summon (which is AWESOME), and the little white chocobo gives you the contain materia so I'll guess "chocobos giving you materia"
The chocobos also do this weird arm movement during the dance that could be considered "putting your arms behind your back".
Well, both of you got it, but Kyros was first so he gets the prize. Congratulations!
And yes, the event I was looking for was when the chocobos at Chocobo Farm give you the Choco/Mog Summon Materia. "Squawk with all your might" refers to how you have to pick the option "Waaark!" (as opposed to just "Wark") in order to have them give you the Materia. Put your hands behind your back... basically just means act like a bird.
probably wont be on in the next couple days so Ill pass. If nothings posted by saturday for some reason I may be back to have something ready

Bots be stealing my riddles >:0
How you even gonna try and call me second best?
I got the baddest one-upped by a factor of six.
If I'm on your side, you can bet I'm gonna please ya,
Blastin' em like a green-haired chick with amnesia.
The general writing style makes me think of Barret Wallace...
Could the "green-haired chick with amnesia" possibly refer to Terra (Tina) Branford from Final Fantasy VI? If that's the case, then maybe it's referring to magic, since Terra was a magic-user...
I'm going to guess Barret, however, just because of the way the riddle is written. Barret might also be considered "second best" to Cloud. The line about having the baddest one-upped by a factor of six... I'm not too sure about.
o
I lightly agree with TwilightLord....
How you even gonna try and call me second best?
I got the baddest one-upped by a factor of six.
If I'm on your side, you can bet I'm gonna please ya,
Blastin' em like a green-haired chick with amnesia.
The general style does strike me as Barret, however I think it is more of something that he can equip.
The first line can refer to it of his which the player can view as second best to another.
The second line can refer to the number of Materia slots - although the 'one-upped' throws me off.
The third line might mean that once equipped, it can please the player as long as Barret is in the party - which makes it less likely to be either an armor or an accessory.
The fourth line can refer to the Materia, and it could also refer to Terra Branford - as TwilightLord said.
Which equip-able item it is, I don't know.
.. i dont know the game too well to think that deep about it :o
It isn't Barret, nor an equippable item.
I will confirm that line four makes reference to Terra.
My next guess is Cid Highwind, then.
How you even gonna try and call me second best?
I got the baddest one-upped by a factor of six.
If I'm on your side, you can bet I'm gonna please ya,
Blastin' em like a green-haired chick with amnesia.
"I got the baddest one-upped by a factor of six" could refer to Limit Breaks. Cid's ultimate Limit Break, Highwind, does the most hits out of any Limit Break in the game - even more than Cloud's Omnislash. So this could mean he's got the baddest (i.e. Cloud, since everyone thinks Omnislash is the most powerful Limit Break in the game) one-upped (i.e. he does more damage than Cloud). I'm not sure if he does six times as much damage, but I can't really check that.
"If I'm on your side, you can bet I'm gonna please ya"
Most of Cid's other Limit Breaks also do quite a bit of damage, making him very useful to have around.
"Blastin' em like a green-haired chick with amnesia"
This has been confirmed to refer to Terra, so my guess is that the "blasting" is of a magical nature (since Terra was a magic-user). However, since pretty much anyone in the game can become a "magical" character depending on what Materia they have, I think it might also still refer to Limit Breaks - Cid's ultimate, Highwind, calls down an air strike from the named airship, thereby "blasting" the enemies.
It's not Cid.
The mention of Terra does not refer to the fact that she was a natural magic user.
Okay, is it even a character at all then? Because it could possibly be a weapon - maybe one of Barret's or Vincent's weapons that has stats lower than their ultimate weapon, but can perform better depending on how they're used?
Repost:

***
It is not a character or a weapon.
Line 4 refers to Terra from FF6, but has nothing to do with her magic ability.
An enemy then? "On your side" could refer to a skill you can learn from it with the Enemy Skill materia...
Wait a second, is it one of the Weapons? They obviously have the baddest (Sephiroth) one-upped, being much more powerful than he is. Second best... could be Emerald Weapon, I think most people consider Ruby Weapon more powerful. And obviously, if one of the Weapons was on your side it'd be awesome.
I'm gonna guess Emerald Weapon - it has a lot of "blasting" attacks too, as I recall (most notably the Emerald Shoot and Aire Tam Storm moves).
My other thought is an item or accessory, but I'll hold off on that until this guess is confirmed or denied.
It is not Emerald Weapon.
hint: "factor of six" is an exact figure. The answer has to take that into consideration, so knowing that something is "way better" than something else isn't enough.
Okay, so let's puzzle this out here.
How you even gonna try and call me second best?
This seems to indicate that the answer is considered the "second best" of its category, either in-universe or out-of-universe.
I got the baddest one-upped by a factor of six.
So in other words, the answer is six times as good as the best of its kind? Or maybe it has six times a specific attribute more than something else... The "baddest" could mean literally "baddest" as in "worst", though, so it could mean that it has six more of something than the worst of its kind. Hmm... Maybe armour with Materia slots?
If I'm on your side, you can bet I'm gonna please ya,
So this is something that would be good to have, essentially. So probably either an item, armour, or accessory. It could also be an enemy, "on your side" referring to either a skill you can learn from it with the Enemy Skill Materia, or taking control of it with the Manipulate Materia.
Blastin' em like a green-haired chick with amnesia.
This line is my stumbling block. It's been confirmed to refer to Terra Branford, but I can't really see a link between her and the rest of the riddle, and we've already established it has nothing to do with magic, so by assumption the answer also has nothing to do with magic, and it's not a weapon, which leaves me wondering what "blastin' em" means... Unless it's an Enemy Skill or an enemy that "blasts" things. It might be referring to when Terra was riding the MagiTek near the beginning of the game... that had guns, as far as I recall. So it might be an enemy with guns, or something...
I don't know. Have I hit on anything here, or are my shots flying way off the mark?
Good call! :DQuote:

Correct!Quote:

Line four doesn't actually compare the answer's method of blasting to Terra's method of blasting. In fact, it does not refer to any of the events of the FFVI game itself. Use of her in the riddle was a bit more cryptic.
With the "green-haired" being mentioned, I'm going to guess it could be a green Chocobo or a green Materia. Green Materia is a kind of magic..... Not much else I can think of....
Nope, the answer is not green.

I will go out on a limb and say Neo Bahamut.
Or Bahamut from ZERO?
But that thing about 'chick', 'green', and 'amnesia' stinks of Chocobo (Amnesia Greens, anyone?), but I'll be effed if I can find a way to connect Choco/Mog or a normal chocobo to the rest of it...
I think it's Earth Rave, Red XIII's penultimate limit break. I'm not sure about the actual statistics but six times as strong as Cosmo Memory seems about accurate. :P
The final line refers to Terra, which means earth.
Hm....I think you're right Rantz.
Silent Warrior has it!
It's the second-best summon. It has six wings, where Sephiroth, the "baddest", has one. Obviously you like having it on your side. And, finally, the elusive line 4:
Bahamut Zero's attack is called Tera ("Terra") Flare.
H-hey, what, am I supposed to conjure up a riddle of my own now? Uh... Right, here goes nothin'. Though I don't know the initial rules, I'll aim for four lines, which may or may not rhyme in any recognized way. *Think, think* *Think, think*
In the darkest depths of past sins
Lies both heaven and guardian of hell
No matter who wins
The light of day will not prevail
Ok, some poetic license, but I doubt you'll find it difficult. I'll try to check in before tomorrow evening, my timezone, but I make no guarantee.
Wow, nice riddle SW, could it possibly be the sunken gelinka?
Indeed it is! KaiserDragon gets the honour.
Awesome! I pass.
I'm new and not sure if theres any rule to being new but I've got a riddle. Everybody playing seems really good so let's see how this goes:
At first I ignore,
but then I implore.
And when you return in the morn,
my rival I skorn.
Might be obvious. I was really just glad to think up a rhyming riddle for it :p
A nice riddle, just one question: By skorn, did you mean 'scorn' or did you write it like that on purpose?
Sounds like the scene where the party parts for a short time period at the transition from CD2 to CD3.
easy you say?
pff perhaps if you know every inch of the game xD
Is it when Sephy kills Aeris? You go to sleep and when the party wakes up in the morning you find her. And Cloud is his rival and all.
All wrong so far. And someone asked if I spelled "scorn" wrong on purpose. The answer is no lol. I just typed it up fast cause I didn't want someone to put in a riddle before me.

Got Omnislash from the goldsaucer on disc 1, killed Emerald and Ruby, found the secret zach and cloud cutscene, raised and obtained a gold chocobo and blah blah blah a whole bunch of stuff that ended up getting erased by a friend that spilled water on my PS and memory card.....:eep:
aww, such a waiste that everything got lost
At first I ignore, but then I implore. And when you return in the morn, my rival I scorn.Sounds like a duality type of thing, not sure why I think that....
pretty confusing, my guess is something to do with the scene where Tifa hints at needing a hero then Barret begs Cloud to help on the next mission, then they sleep, then the next morning Cloud rags on Barret's snoring. it's the morn+rival that's got me hung up.
Perhaps, chionos, perhaps..... (My last post, ugh, can't get the lines correct - it should have been separate lines.)
Chionos you are thinking along the right line but thats not it. Nothing to do with Tifa or Barret either.
My next guess (it doesn't fulfill the second part of the riddle but whatyagonnado) is the scene where you chase cait sith at the golden saucer.
Is the answer an item of some sort?
alright... ill make an atempt to
At first I ignore, but then I implore. And when you return in the morn, my rival I scorn.
To be honest i'm not sure what Implore and scorn mean.. but here is my guess:
Is it Barret's friend/rival? that one who also has the same handgun thing as barret?

Watch the quadruple posts yo! :twak:
That's what the edit button is for.
Yuffie, something to do with Yuffie? Not sure what the rivalry and morning and all that would mean though.
No. Not yuffie. And my bad on the posts. Didn't think about the edit button,was just replying.
No worries, you're new, I was just warnin' ya.
Does it have anything to do with any of the main characters?
Next guess:
Cid Highwind.
no. it is not important to the story so its not anybody main. its just something, "you the player" have to do as your going through the game.Quote:

Shaibana you made a guess earlier that for some reason never loaded on my computer til now, but letting you know that's not it either.
Someone may need to replay FF7 and see if they can find it lol.
There are several things that can fulfill parts of the riddle, but putting all 4 together causes confusion. There are only so many instances of events having anything to do with morning or a new day, and none of them that I can recall fit the rest of the riddle in any meaningful way.
In any case I'm going to keep guessing at things that can fulfill at least part of the riddle and maybe that'll narrow it down.
Vincent
Not vincent either. it involves you the player doing something. might as well just name every event that involves the next day.
An interaction when in control of a character (Cloud, Tifa, or Cid)....
Any thing to do with the climb you first make at Gaea's Cliffs?
No not climbing the cliffs, but yes to the in control of (cloud, tifa, or cid) part. Its a small task you have to do like climbing the cliffs in order to progress.
And just so no one has to back track for the riddle its:
At first I ignore, but then I implore.
And when you return in the morn, my rival I scorn.
Also, to narrow the gap of minimal tasks throughout the game, I'll go ahead and say it involves being in control of Cloud at the time.
:laughs to self: Interesting.... As being in control of Cid or Tifa would have drastically narrowed it down.
I'm going to wager that it has nothing to do with the Gold Saucer games (snowboarding, bike escape, etc.).... am I right?
Hahaha it is nothing to do with gold saucer. See! We're narrowing the search lol
Ahahaha! Okay.... Let's see.....
Anything to do with Midgar slums?
Uh oh....maaaybe...
is it cloud getting raped?
That would definetly make for a crappy morning to wake up to, but no lol
For some reason, I think the answer deals with Johnny in the Midgar Slums...... Don't know why.
I think Johnny is the red head dude you run into later in the game, if thats who you're talking about then no nothing to do with him.
I think so... Here: Johnny - The Final Fantasy Wiki has more Final Fantasy information than Cid could research (for both of our sake's...)
Ok no it isnt about him, but that was interesting info though. Never understood if he was actually part of cloud's past or not.
You're getting there lol
Is it the player or Cloud who scorns the "rival"?
Neither. Its just some guy
does it take place at the gym?
Nope
Is it the part where you go to the top of the weapon store in the sector 7 slums and get a tutorial after sleeping in Tifa's 7th Heaven?
Does the answer have to deal with Kalm?
I think it's the guy in the shop in Wall Market. At first he ignores you but then he implores you to do him a favour. You spend the night at the inn (his rival). Purchase something from the vending machine and take it back to the guy in the shop in the morning. He then scorns his rival because his merchandise is better. He then gives you a Tiara (I think) as part of your disguise to get into Don Corneo's mansion. Is it that guy?
BubbaForever, that might be it.
Ya, that's gotta be it, duh. Good job bubba.
It sounds right. I've been looking at these riddles for four months and never felt confident enough to offer an answer. I've got my own riddle waiting just in case! I'll wait for Cloudpsx1 to confirm before posting
Not sure if they are smart... or im just stupid (SPOILER)

Congratulations! Bubba out of nowhere. You get the next riddle.Quote:

I'm easily missed, though I have no lock
You'll see I come from a rough sea stock
Critters may come and give thanks for a while
As I sit and weigh up Avalanche's stile
... ... it doesnt make any sense to me at all :(
but than again, none or the riddles do
Quick spelling question just to be sure, in the last line you do mean stile not style, correct?
"Avalanche's stile" has me stumped.
"Easily missed" makes me think that the answer is an item that can be missed if you don't search for it.
Off topic: Does anyone else think that the Final Fantasy Games (all of them) have the average animal (deers, birds, house cats, etc.) and that we only fight the ones that are a true danger to us (the playable characters)?
ramuh materia?
It's not Ramuh Materia (or any materia for that matter) and the spelling of stile on the last line is completely intentional.
It is definitely an easily missed item (having missed it myself before!) and it is in an area that you can't return to.
The biggest clues probably come from the second and fourth lines. The third line is obscure but relates to the item. There's plenty of clues in there if you look deep!
Edit: here's the riddle again as we're on a new page...
I'm easily missed, though I have no lock
You'll see I come from a rough sea stock
Critters may come and give thanks for a while
As I sit and weigh up Avalanche's stile
Leviathan scales?
It is related to the Graveyard for trains? The "give thanks for a while" brings that to mind.....
Congratulations Chionos! You have the honour of the next riddle... the answer is indeed "Leviathan Scales"
I'm easily missed, though I have no lock
You find this item in a chest on the dock before the submarine battle. You can't return to this area once you start the battle.
You'll see I come from a rough sea stock
Leviathan comes from the sea and scales have a rough appearance
Critters may come and give thanks for a while
This refers to Cloud's famous quote when trying to enter the Da-Chao Fire Cave without the Leviathan Scales in tow "That flame would make crispy critters of us in an instant!"
As I sit and weigh up Avalanche's stile
Weigh up again refers to the 'scales' part of the answer. Finally, 'Avalanche's Stile' is an anagram of 'Leviathan Scales'
I may have put a few too many clues in there but good job, Chionos!
ive been gone for a long time. cool to see this thread is still alive. wow, an anagram? thats very impressive stuff for a riddle
rough sea stock + Avalanche's stile eventually did it for me. When you said the spelling of stile was intentional it got me thinking. That third line....so obscure lol.
but anyway. An easy one after the last two difficult riddles:
One's like one but not like the other.
A protein shake that breaks the mold.
Rainbow history all from the mother.
Round and round and round the gold.
You might think the riddle you create is easy, it might not be for others.....
Uh, anything to do with the Gold Saucer?
Not directly, no.
Hero Drink?
Neg
One's like one but not like the other
This sounds like it refers to chocobos. EVen though they are all the same model they are all different colours.
A protein shake that breaks the mold
I have no idea what this could refer to. This is what made me think of Hero Drink
Rainbow history all from the mother
Again this reminds me of the different types of Chocobos
Round and round and round the gold
The Chocobo Races in the Gold Saucer?
My guess is simply chocobos or chocobo square?
You're definitely on the right track.
The last line has a double meaning.
Gold could refer to money or Gil, it could refer to the gold chocobo, or it could refer to a Gold item (Golden Hairpin, maybe).... Just tossing it out there.
... Chocobo stable?
Less about the gold and more about he "round and round.."
Ruby Weapon?
Spheres or loops are the only things I can think of to relate to "round and round".....
how about that one part of golden saucer with the shooter
I think you all are trying too hard. I said you were on the right track with chocobos and the gold chocobo, I just need a little more from you.
Knights of the Round?
Now put it all together!Quote:

Now I'm confused about the "Rainbow History all from the mother"
Is it something specific or something really vague like 'chocobo breeding'?
...if it's something specific then I'm gonna go for 'Zeio Nut'
Is it the replica of the Masamune?
???Quote:

It's obtainable at the Gold Saucer, I saw "mother" and thought it's something related to Sephiroth, and "protein shake" sort of makes me think it's a metaphor for strength.
This is close enough so I'll lay it out. (You win btw bubba!)Quote:

as is rainbow history all from the mother
you start with some normal chocobos and breed them, mixing different colors and feeding them nuts(protein) and racing them around and around the golden saucer until eventually you create a gold which you use to get to the "round island" where you get "knights of the round"
layers upon layers...
I was far off.
Don't worry about it, GenjiQuote:

Leave it with me, the next riddle will appear shortly...
EDIT: Layers upon layers upon layers upon layers for the last line, Chionos... but I like it!
Right, next one. Best of luck!
I can't be found, given or stole
Though I can be obtained through a measure of control
Same as the beast with whom I share my name
You'll find me there through the fire and flames
The first two lines make me think of an enemy skill obtained by manipulating an enemy... however I can't really think of any enemy skill (or enemy) that fits the last two lines. On the other hand, the fire and flames make me think of the infamous Nibelheim Fire Cutscene - in that case it would be Sephiroth who could be obtained via Cheat Codes ("a measure of control").
I wonder if it's something that you obtain through finding it in a town..... Something in Kalm?
"through the fire and flames" was too big of a hint man XD
the answer has to be the Dragon Force enemy skill you get from Dragons in the northern cave
Congrats again Chionos! People will think we're in league together soon! Yep, the answer was indeed The Dragon Force enemy skill.
The first two lines were a clear hint towards an enemy skill.
Dark Dragon and Dragon Force obviously share the same name... which is what the third line was referring to.
Finally, yes... Dragon Force 'Through the Fire and Flames' might have been a bit obvious!
The floor is yours Chionos!
Crap! Sorry, forgot to post a new riddle. Thanks Kaiserdragon
Super easy one for taking so long:
I lie naked, piercing sky
Like an erect dragoon spear
Ready iron lungs to fry
Ain't no mini stallion here
Odin? of bahamut?
nope, try again
i dunno.. im so bad at this...
Take the main idea in each line and try to think of what it might refer to in the game, just one line at a time. Then check if what you come up with fits with the other lines. There are two really key hints in this riddle.
Gold Saucer?
Nope:)
