Don't feel bad for not solving this one already, just keep guessing and you might help each other out.
A hint: Each line is from a different Final Fantasy.
I'll give away more clues after a few more tries.

Good Luck!

Time Magic?

Slow Haste etc?

Red Mage!


Travels through time - ... Er... Yes.

Wielder of an undeath bane - Cure

Doubles the fun, but no mime - Redx2

All over the place, but no fame - Er...

Life to mind, Mind to life - Hp/Mp Switch (FFXI)

And a hat with ears through - Um. Freya's... red... And she has her ears through her hat...

Correct Dormos, Good Work! I didn't think anyone would get it without more hints. Here's the ones you missed though.

Wielder of an undeath bane (FFIII) - This was refering to one of the swords you get early in the game. Good vs undead and only a Red Mage could equip it.

All over the place, but no fame (FFIX) - This was a rather cryptic and not entirely true statement, but it is refering to the number Red Mages you see throughout the game, though there's none that joins your party.

And a hat with ears through (FFTA) - In FF Tactics Advance only the Viera can be a Red Mage, and their ears stick up through their hat if you look at the portrait.

Next riddle, please!

Yay! I got one. Er... someone else take the riddle, I can't think of one. ^_^;;

One of light and one of dark
He lit the flame she gave the spark.
Now in stone they will remain
Holy help their one refrain

Who are they (or either one of them)?

Palom and Porom of FF4 fame.

One black mage, one white. They sacrificed themselves to save the party by turning themselves to stone. The rest is just fluff.

in terms of fluff, holy help was to be the paladin you should be by that time, and in case someone didnt get that other part, flame was easy and spark was that of life "the spark of life". For the rest, I actually haven't beaten the game so I don't know how they turn out :). (lets not spoil that one :P ) Well done by the way.

Of course, that was easy... but I can't come up with a riddle... someone else do it.

okay. no problem...

"I sit here in the city and wait,
the destined ones of whom to bait,
of cavalry i have a mighty nine,
on stolen goods all shall we dine.

We occupied the city, we did,
all of the valubales we hid,
within a mighty vessel nearby,
but we had to lose it, Why?

Who am I?"

Hehehe. Kind of in the middle with this one.

you're the Pirate in Provoka. FFI

Well, his name is Bikke, but i'll give it to you anyways. ;)

I began in order to end
with me came all that is
the world's will I see bend
and now shall do my bizz.

*BTW for all u riddle nuts we have one in the FFIX forums that is driving us mad any help would be appreciated. Prepare for your head to hurt upon first reading the riddle however.* IT IS NASTY and CRUEL beyond belief. ;)

Sounds like Necron.

hmmmmmmm.....maybe Ultimecia.

necron is correct he was made to end the world. thus begins in order to end.

your up.

Okay, let's see how this works out.

I am the link between the old and the new.
A thrice-savior the second time around,
spanning two which was one and never meant to meet.
I forgot and saved
and remembered and saved
but was forced to pass the torch.

Who am I?

Cloud? It sounds like some Advent Children implications... and I don't even think that's the right word...

I'm not sure... Auron perhaps? It really sounds like Auron.

Both guesses are good ones, but neither is correct.

I'm guessing Galuf then.

Yea, Galuf, or maybe Aeris.

Galuf is correct. You're up, TurkSlayer.

All right, this one might be a little easy.

A warrior of darkness and despair,
Losing my loveto madness,
I hunt what took my love,
who I also owe my life,
seeking vengeance but not redemption.

I could be wrong, but I think your avatar says it all: Vincent.

Knew I should have changed that avatar. Yes, Vincent is correct.

Let's see....

Had I a rod and reel perhaps
my hope would not have been
in vain. As it was, I
tried to make it all go away, but
a little bird told me I was wrong.

Who am I?

Celes: FF6. The game without a main character :D. If I'm right, someone else do a riddle... I only like solving them.

udsuna is correct. Anyone, feel free to contribute the next riddle.

heres one but its not ff......

thiry white horses stant on a hill, first they stomp then they chomp, then they stant still..........

... Are we still guessing a person here?

Bradly fighting vehicles?

Code:

In the village of the wave
The sad duty remains
misunderstanding the knave
Answering the question strains

probably easy.

Since you've answered yours, how about a stab at mine?

ok since this thread is dying time for a new riddle.

through death were we made
to cause more of the same
even though most stayed
a few eventually became

some seen as human at times
yet othertimes monsters all
we have committed many crimes
because to kill was our call.

Is it the black mages from Final Fantasy 9?

and right in 1 at least the topic is back up and running again.

Ok let's see...

For my king I answered the call
And became one of the strongest in all
My sword couldn't help me after I fell
I had to change my ways or fail in my task
I faced the challenges and succeeded quite well
And threw away everything involved with my past

It's my first one, so it's not that good and should be easy...

my guess is Cecil from FF2 in america.

Dark knight. Changes to Paladin. His dark swords no longer work....etc.

Yep, that's it, knew it was easy

next time try not using a riddle about your avatar LOL


I am thought to be dead
and then I am found alive
I hit you in the head
and then we take a dive

like a father to many sons
but my own son hated me
I dwell in addition
and am near the trees

Yeah, I should pay more attention

Ummm is it Jecht by any chance?

nope

Looong stretch on this one but, Baku?? Probably not right but he's the only one I can think of.

I'm guessing... crap, what was that dude's name... Sabin's teacher in FF6. The one that teaches you Bum Rush.

well Dormos the fact that its a pretty obscure character makes me give it to you.

the guys name is Duncan for those of you wondering.

I hate waiting for more riddles....

Oh Brother! Oh Brother!
Do ye not see the way?
He is not like us.
His fate is thus written.

Who would say this?

I would!

... Or... Cyan...

My first thought is Edgar or Sabin from FFVI. Which is up to your interpretation but I am assuming Sabin says it ABOUT Cyan.

Cid or Cyan

Calling Gnostic Yevon calling Gnostic Yevon please reply to the guesses about your "riddle" although really it isn't one. W/E if Gnostic doesnt respond soon maybe I will just write a new riddle to keep the thread going.

Can we move on? Llanowar can you make one so this thing can keep moving?

In tandem we dwell
and appear to swell
both are as one
which is undone?

This one is fairly difficult, but if you think about it properly the answer should be fairly easily attained.

About time this got started again.
Ok, I;m going to guees Palom and Porum or what ever their names are, the kids from FF IV

not even close I am asking for a single answer not two like the twins.
note the 4th line of the riddle!!!!!!!

Ah, ok I got ya now...yeah this might be tricky...
Is it Kuja? He and Zidane are as one, and Kuja is killed in the end.

Nope.....kinda the right idea, but nowhere near the correct answer however keep in mind the dwell in tandem idea. It is a little more close quarters of a dwell than just the same planet.

Ok the first hint.

I was drawn here by an item.

So basically it's this?


We stay close together
(no idea for the second line)
We act as one
And which one dies?

And now it's drawn to an item...
Man, I'm racking my brain and I still have no idea...this may take me a while, to my Final Fantasy saves!!

That is a decent approximation of what i was looking for yes.

Okay....I don't think this is right but when i think of twins in ff or people who share a close bond....could it be Zack and Cloud? I mean their practically the same person, drawn to the Nibleheim reactor...then Zack is killed? :-/

No that one like most of the others is WAY to obvious for this riddle.

I've had 2 idea's but I can only see one of them working. I first thought of Zorn and Thorn who combined into Meltigemini, but the one of us dies threw me off that subject. So then I thought about Cait Sith. (SPOILER)He and Reeve are the same person yet in 2 different forms, and act as one kind of. Then Cait Sith dies in the Temple of the Ancients, but then he is revived again so I'm not sure. mmm but then again, although Cait Sith, took the Keystone, he didn't get drawn there by it. He was drawn there by the fact Sephiroth was there. Damn!.

Right my last guess in this post lol.

Rachel? from FF6, Locke & Rachel were in love (Acted as one could be defined as together in romance / in love as well as very close) Locke was a treasure hunter (could explain the was drawn here by an item part) and Rachel would always follow him on his treasure hunt's. One day slipping and falling to her death.

If it aint this then I'm stumped :P

Ah, shoot! I got here too late! My guess was Cait Sith, too!
*starts praying that it's not right*

your prayers are not necessary because once again it is wrong (it is however a monster like zorn, thorn, and meltigemini). That will serve as a second hint I guess.

Hmm all I can think of is Schizo (The 2 headed monster in the Glacier, Hojo (Hellitic Hojo: and Lifeform Hojo) from FF7 or the Calbrina dolls from FF4. I'm stumped =(

nope sorry but that isn't it. I will tell you that the answer is not in FF7 or FF9 since those are the only two games anyone seems to be guessing from. Ok I will rule out 1-4 also just so you guys have some chance at getting it. mebbe I need to avoid being quite so obscure in this thread *sigh*

Right ok. *scores out FF9 list and FF7 list, Continues with FF1 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 and 10.2*

I really think I'm gonna skip this thread at some point rofl.

Right at the moment I've got Edea and Ultimecia in my mind, you fight Edea who is controlled by Ultimecia most of the game, and in the end Ultimecia is the one who dies.

I'm just taking a quick stab at this, I'll think harder later, but is it Gerogero (Think thats the name)?

In tandem we dwell (Two stages to battle, fake and real)
and appear to swell (If I remember the real version is much bigger)
both are as one (Well they're the same being)
which is undone? (You kill the Gerogero form)

you have the riddle read in the proper manner and have the ideas mostly correct however the answer is wrong.

I've got Kefka in my mind, but Llanowar, is this 2 characters together, or are they the same character in 2 different forms?

Well the name shows as the same i do believe so i guess its the same thing, but I always thought it was two different entities.

Cloud, inside he is evil.
but on the outside he is good

Necron, is this FF7 Cloud? if so, Llanowar has already state that it is neither from FF7 or FF 1 - 4 or 9.

Right right right!!!! Is it Siegfried from FF6? as you see a person on the Phantom train who claims to be him, but isn't, he's just some mimic of him. then you see him in Figaro cave again. Then you find the REAL Siegfried when you travel up to the Coliseum.

No once again you forgot the Dwell in tandem line. They are in VERY close proximity to one another.

You've completely puzzled me Llanowar =(

Right ok. I've looked over and I've come up with an answer.

Chardarnook Demon and the Chardarnook Woman in FF6 reason being:

In tandem we dwell (they are the same person/boss in one battle)
and appear to swell (They take over each other/switch bodies every now and then to continue the battle, just as when fighting Ifrit and Shiva, they switch to change their skills)
both are as one (Again although they are 2 separate things, they are classed as one battle/one boss)
which is undone? (In this battle you fight both of them, but in the end, the one that dies is the one you kill that's showing at the time. So if the other one isn't showing, it's technically still there. Therefore one of them has died the other is still alive but just vanished.)

*Head hurts ;(

correct and nice explanation....In all honesty I meant to have it transalated as Chardanook as a whole dies leaving the Picture/entity but I understand how you came to your thoughts on that line. Gj and post away.

hold me in your sleepless nights,
and a nightmare will I bring,
at first, so weak, to grow so strong,
but watch your time..

This could be hard, hopefully it is :p


EDIT: No one going to try and answer lol?

Right sorry for the double post, but could someone please try and answer? NO ONES even TRIED. :/

Shadow's dreams?

It's the dreams about Shadow's past isn't it?
Thanks- BudSoda02 BudSoda02@yahoo.com

Nope but PLEASE keep trying. I thought really hard about this riddle.

can we have a small clue?

Theres not been enough posts to get a clue yet sorry croyles :/, Keep guessing and if you're wrong in about 7 guesses, I'll give you a clue.

I can't believe one of my topics is a 33 pages hot topic! (In case you don't know, I'm [_Shuyin_]. Check both of our profiles and see our real name :p)

Urm. MoonZapdos, how about trying to Answer the riddle rather than Spamming? xD

The Magical Lamp Diablos is in?

how would "but watch your time" fit into that?

The longer you wait to fight Diablos the stronger he gets. If you fight him at lvl 7 he's gonna be weaker than if you fight im at lvl 100, basically because his lvls raise when yours do but still, it fights.

I think it is the castle that Odin is in (ffVIII). Because of the timer and then the whole weaker you are the faster he falls under your bidding. :moogle: :moomba:

Hey Lenna, give up the answer. This is taking too much time. :\

"I am a thief!! (Too much info already!!)
I can sometimes be cocky
But at other times I can be serious
I love helping others
I also believe in You don't need a reason to help others
Who am I??"

Locke, but Lenna's riddle is still up.
For her's I will guess Rosa based solely on the "sleepless nights" part.

Meh. Moon Zapdos' orders. And no!! It is not Locke...

Err I meant to put Zidane... it's late... stop staring!!!

Correct!!!!!!

Ok....here we go.

once we appeared as two
later we appeared as three
when u find one you seek
a prize you will keep.

who are we?

Anybody even gonna try this one????

I thought about it, but I really can't think of anything.

WE HAVE BEEN READING THE DAMN RIDDLE FOR 10 DAYS!!!

Face it, the riddle is too hard and vague. Give it up and please let someone else post a riddle, noone is going to get this.

the witchs at the end of 8

dont have a clue anymore

no.......Sum1 will solve this riddle......IX has a riddle going on FOREVER. This riddle is NOT that hard if you examine it thoroughly.

is it cloud or tifa inside clouds mind?
(sry if that was already said

just a question llanny, is it from FFVIII? if it is, pleaselet me know so i wont bother spending time on this riddle. id like to solve it.

Bwahahaha! :D

i give up for now

no it is not from VIII. Noone has even come close....cmon people i didnt make it that hard.

u didnt say if my last answer was right or not :shifty:
anyway, if not, is it comparing tidus and that "other guy" that was him but with a different name that they found out about in ff 10-2?

It was incorrect also....my last post said noone had come close.....that included you.

is it quina quale quan or vivi?

enough all ready whats the answer

Is it Vicks Wedge and Piette?

All right ppl its from FF IX....if thats not enuf of a hint to solve it I dont know what is. Cmon ppl.

Ok dude, your riddle just plain sucks. No is ever going to answer it correctly because it is too vague and too hard. Will someone please just post another riddle so we can get along with this?

well since I know at least 2 ppl who have solved it, but are more interested in the FFIX riddle forum sum1 here will just have to get it.....

Ok NEXT HINT!!!!!!!!!

you find them in three at a point when Zidane is in your party ALONE.

Hmm...as far as I remember, the only times when Zidane is alone are in the Ice Cavern and at Pandemonium. So I'm going to guess either the Black Waltzes or the three enemies he fights alone at Pandemonium. If I'm wrong, I'll try and think of something else.

it's the three -ero brothers.... it's only two of them (Genero and Benero) when you crash into Evil Forest and at the play in Alexandria, but at the start of disk 3, you're as zidane alone in alexandria and you find the 3 of them in the weapons shop and play a game of guess the brother or sumthin... Genero, Benero, and Zenero is the third.

:rolleyes2 am i right?

I hope you are. This is getting old.

damn, rca, that sounds pretty accurate! i bet it's right...i was thinking about this one nonstop last night ( gave up on thingfish's....>_<;; ) i thought it was like....the Black Waltzs or something, but wooo for rca!

llany, imma cry if you say she's wrong..... :whimper:

ack! someone tell me if i'm right! :whimper: driving me batty! :eek:

you're right!! :shifty: i hope

SUM1 FINALLY SOLVED IT!!!!!!!!!! take it away. the -ero brothers are indeed correct.

someone else can have my turn... not good at making riddles at all... :(

Veiled in fire I stand
Holding dominion over the land
My healing power I will lend
A pity you are not my friend

ifrit...? mebbe...?

The Malirith in FFI?

Good guesses, but no.

would telling us which game it's from be too much of a hint? :confused:

Most likely. :sweatdrop

It's later than FFI though.

hmm.... first name that popped into my head was sephiroth... you know cuz of the fire in Nibelheim, and when "cloud" was with him in the past he'd cast Cure3 on himself or cloud.... i dunno. am i right? :love:

Sephiroth?

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that, but it's not Sephiroth.

Strategy guide calls them the Nero brothers. "-ero" brothers sounds stupid.
What? I'm just sayin'

*beep*

"A healing power I will lend" "Veiled in fire. . ."

Phoenix?

Not Phoenix.

Healing... no friends..

Seymour?

Not Seymour.

It's the rare case of an enemy you'd like to have as a friend.

Rubicant. He obviously bears an elemental affinity with Fire, and he also heals the party before battling them.

You are correct Masamune1600!

Rubicant thoughtfully heals your party to full strength before whalloping them with high power fire spells. He sure is the nicest fiend I've ever seen and one of my favorite villains. :hot:

Nice riddle, BG.

Let's see...

Who am I? You might well guess
Though time slips by before my test.
Who am I? Who is to say?
Fans see me in an "equal" way.
Who am I? Who is to tell?
Not those that face my private "Hell."
Who am I? Well, who are you?
And "kan" you see this riddle through?

Ultimecia?

Yes, Ultimecia is "korrect." Go, §håd0w.

Koolness :p

Someone else can take my turn, for the riddle I have probably won't be solved tonight, and I'm going to be inactive for the next week because of school. So I'll post mine the next time my turn comes around.

Oo, pick me! :D

A question in a starry void
No element to be deployed
A present from an undead foe
Open me up to give you woe

Dark Matter?

No, but you're right about it being a thing instead of a person.

Pandora's Box.

Oh no you opened it! :eek:

Pandora's Box it is, cast as a last resort by Dragon Zombies as a non-elemental attack. It appears as a spinning question mark in a star-filled background.

You're up Masamune1600! :)

Let me see...

Two we are, so says a book
A challenge not to overlook
Last and Somehow Beyond Last
Were then inserted in the past
The future, though, dilutes our threat
(Other powers rise) and yet:
Two we were, the two that started
The true challenge for the valiant-hearted.

Sepiroth or Areis?

No, sorry. I probably should have clarified that there are two answers and that I need both, but neither Sephiroth nor Aeris is one of them.

:Oo:

Im so stupid, i only played like half of VII,9/10 of FFX, and about 8/10 of FFX-2.....oh and FF XI

I want to say Masa and Mune, but that's Chrono Trigger. Right kind of mindset?

Yup, right kind of mindset. :)

Chrono Trigger isn't a Final Fantasy though. :confused:

I didn't say that Masa and Mune were the answer, simply that the two could be understood to constitute a valid (though not at all exact) comparison.

OK, because I was thinking the answer would be somewhere in FFI-XII and possibly Tactics. Not that I object to CT riddles per se.

EDIT: Maybe Mystic Quest as well, but I've give warning about that. :greenie:

Hmm, it isn't the Knight Garland and the final boss Garland in FFI is it?

Zorn and Thorn? :sweat:

It's neither Garland/Chaos nor Zorn and Thorn, although those are both very good guesses. The Garland reading of the riddle actually matches the lines almost perfectly; it's just that I'm looking for something else.

Omega and Shinyru?

That's it. You're up, Magaso.

In your Quest im not really Essential,
But you'll think I am when I reach my Maximum Potential.
In the Hearts of Enemies I Invoke Fear,
But always help my allys near.

Who Am I?

Auron?

bump

Is it a Summon?

Maybe....

Anima?

Could it be the magus sisters? or is it Bahumut since it seems there's only one.
