LOL topaz is not purple it's kind of yellow or an amberish colour

No, it's not the Guard Scorpion. Or Cloud.

Is it the Enemy Skill Materia?

Nope.

Edit: Btw, there's more to the riddle than just letting you know that topaz is "something yellow".

Can we have another hint then? I'm stumped.

I'm going to give it a little time, now. You and I have been going back and forth, and we're both on right now; I want to give more people a chance.

Yes it is. I would just really dislike it if the answer was based on some heretical rumor. I'd have to send the winged monkeys out after you, man. :monkey:

Are you thinking of the amethyst? That has a violet color to it.

Cloud was going to be my next guess.

Hmm...is it a reference to cowardice instead of literal color? I'm guessing Don Corneo, who takes a little dive courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Turks.

Yeah, everything mentioned in the riddle exists in the game. No tricks.

...Well, one trick. But a different kind of trick. :)

Topaz can actually be a number of colors, but I associated it with yellow-amber.

Edit: Oh heavens, I almost forgot. No, not Corneo's dive.

Aha! There isn't a Topaz, so that means it's a trick question.:cool:

No, it's not a trick question. You just quoted what I said: "..everything mentioned in the riddle exists in the game."

is it ragnarok? it's a weapon, and has a yellow hilt

Is it the sun (a yellow star) blowing up in Sephiroth's Supernova attack?

No, neither of those..very clever though. The answer isn't that obscure. Here's a hint:

The first four lines are in chronological order.

You transposed the first and second events. Sapphire dies before Ultima does:

Does topaz refer to the glowing yellow core of Bizarro-Sephiroth, which gets neatly dissected by the party?

No, it doesn't refer to Bizarro Sephiroth's core.

Trust me, I made no error in the order of events. That's why it was a hint. ;)
