FFT Riddles

From beginning till end - this line implies everytime, from the first to the last you see a Zodiac Stone.

in darkness and in light, - this line signifies the evil and the good in the object. It turned the Shrine Knights into Lucavi, but resurrected Malak from the dead.

I wake the sleeping and make them fight. - Raising the dead in battle to fight. Zalera summoned undead to fight in battle with him.

I give the gift of restless slumber and strength of stone, - this line describes the power given to the Lucavi demons. The skill "Nightmare" is used by Queklain and Zalera and "Titan" is used by Velius

to absorb the mighty, but not in flesh nor in bone. - Bloodsuck, which is given to Zalbag with the stones power

All who gaze upon me know it true, - you know its the stone when you see it due to its unique appearance in the game

through darkness and light, for I always do - this is the toughest line...I didn't really give any good hints as to what it is the Zodiac Stone does...you just have to know through paying attention to the game. Every time you see the stone light sparkles from it, even in the darkness of the Deep Dungeon.


Who am I and what do I do? - Zodiac Stone and everytime you see one, it sparkles.

Absolutely not!



The desire to go home
A rule needing to be broken
But one last chance
For true freedom
The kind where you don't have to look over your shoulder.


A poorly worded riddle, and quite easy, but keeps the thread alive.

(SPOILER)Alma and Ramza attending their own funeral?

Oh my god! I made a riddle that Beej didn't get on the first try!

Guess again!

umm miluda cant spell sorry

Nope, sorry, not looking for anything involving Miluda.

Hint time?

Not for me.

Is it Reis and Beowulf?

Not what I had in mind, sorry.

Princess Ovelia?

Perhaps it refers to the Nanten deserters at Grog Hill? They wanted to go home because they were tired of the war, and they thought that by killing Ramza they might get a pardon.:monocle: Thought I'd stop by and say howdy folks! Hope you're all well! :)

Ah yes, I wasn't thinking about the little people in the game. :p

Well, Feion? Shall I riddle you?

Despotus is correct!

I long for your riddling. To be riddled by Despotus is indeed a great honor. I only hope that I shall be able to rise to the riddle and venture a guess that is at least something close to the answer you're looking for.

I hope this one satisfies and satiates your longing, Feion!:cool:


A leading night with lots of wind,
seen at the start but absent throughout,
although I've only seen battle once,
my power is often heard on the battlefield.


You've been riddled...:joker:

I'm inclinded to guess this is a one-battle character, so I'll go with Ovelia, who appears in the opening of the game, but gets kidnapped. Her MBarrier skill is very handy.

No, sorry, it's not Ovelia. She is rather prominent throughout the game in spite of, or argueably because of her kidnapping; but the answer to the riddle truely is "absent throughout" most of the game.

well my first guess would be Zalbag. After thinking about it it didnt quite seem right but alas im going to stick with my gut feeling. He is only seen a few times at the begining but after that he only appears in a couple of scenes.

There is only 1 battle that he fights as a guest.

And supposidly he is a ledgend on the battle field.

Teta perhaps? She wasn't a fighter but appears in one battle. And her name casts a shadow over the rest of the story.

Could it be.....Shiva the summon?

All very good guesses, but unfortunately no one has gotten it yet. BG was really close, but Teta doesn't satisfy the first line of the riddle. Conan, shiva is often heard on the battlefield and has a long wind, but I can't think of other ways it fits the riddle. And Dod, Zalbag was a great warrior but he's been in many battles and we see him often throughout the game.:greenie:

Hint: The riddle may make a little more sense when you read it aloud.

I sense a pun here (night=knight). Since I'm close, I'm going to guess a Knight involved in the same battle, Golagros. He talks pretty big, but to no avail, to either himself of his hostage.

On a side note, he reminds me of Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs; overly talkative in tense situations.

Getting closer, BG... you're right about the pun (night=knight), but it's not Golagros. ;)

Gustav then?

Gaff Gafgarion, maybe?

You see him at the beginning, and dies and isn't seen again. But you do see his powers a lot once you get Orlandu. Also, he's a Dark Knight, or a "Night".

The "absent throughout" might refer to how you see him at the beginning of the game but never again through chapter 1.

Not those knights (Gaff and Gustav), get closer to the beginning...:shifty:

Lezales, the Knight who leads the enemies in front of the first Orbonne monastary battle?

Nah... the answer to the riddle appears earlier than Orbonne... ahem... earlier. Hint, hint. :quarter:

Before the Orbonne fight, you only see Simon, Ovelia, Agrias, Ramza, Gafgarion, and a female knight who dies.

Perhaps you're referring to Agrias.

Nope, sorry. Agrias also is quite prominently featured throughout the game, at least she is in my party.;) No more hints for the time being. Good luck ladies and gents!:cool:

Oh, I think I got it!

The flashback scene in which Balbanes dies is technically before Orbonne, as is all of Chapter 1.

In that scene, you see Dycedarg, who is a "Lune" Knight, which is a mispelling of "Rune", much like "night" is to "knight". You only see him fight once, but the moves he uses in that fight are seen used by a few other characters.

That doesn't do much for the absent throughout line, but maybe I'm right anyway.

Sorry, Feion, that line is oh so vital to understanding the riddle.:p

Alma, perhaps? She gets nabbed by Vormav and friends and is absent. You see in her in the scene where Balbanes dies, I think.

ok here is a shot in the dark for a random guess. Im going to say the death corps knight you fight in the slums of dorter. 1) He leads that fight and that fight is the only fight he is in. 2) He has lots of wind cause he spills the beans about the death corps location. 3) Power is heard on the battle field cause you use generic knights like him all the time. 4) its in chapter 1 so before the monastary. :holmes:

Alma is hardly a "night", and she is present during different parts of the game, especially the end. As for the Death Corps knight, a very good guess but the answer to the riddle actually has a name and is well known in Ivalice. Keep trying!:)

I'll guess Balbanes, although he's unlikely since we don't actually see him in any battles.

Not Balbanes, he's seen plenty of battles.:fencing:

Is it Professor Darovan, who had little combat experience, but taught an easy class at the Academy? He's so notoriously long-winded that Mediators have named a sleep spell called Mimic Darovan in his honor.

Oh yeah! BG-57 got it! I knew you wouldn't disappoint me, Mycroft. :holmes:

"A leading night with lots of wind,"
Prof. Bordam Daravon is regarded as a 'Leading Knight' and he gives notoriously long-winded lectures at the Academy.

"seen at the start but absent throughout,"
Daravon is the 'instructor' in the FFT tutorial, which some people might actually try before starting the game, but is never seen during the story.

"although I've only seen battle once,"
Prof. D. only fought in one battle during the 50-year war.

"my power is often heard on the battlefield."
'Mimic Daravon', as BG mentioned, is a Mediator Talk Skill that puts enemies to sleep.

:mwahaha:Excellent work, Mr. 57. I look forward to your riddle! :D

OK, here goes:

A Mage's best friend
An Imperial aid
Soothing Strings and Drinks
Or feathers of life

Name the composer. :D

I'm guessing this could relate to a proposition? Is it the artist Mamenko (sp)? Otherwise, I'd say the 'composer' of this riddle is BG-57!:D

Good guesses, but no. The composer is a well known real person. :p

HintTry solving the other lines first. They are five different items.

Is it Nobuo Uematsu??? you said it was real composer

I guess I'm being a little unfair with this riddle:

It's a well known composer of classical music.

So would it be like Beethoven? five items and his most famous sympthony is the 5th?

Yeah, although it's not him.

HintThe five items can be found in a specific place.

it has something to do with a Shop in a town Priest's best friend---staff Imperial Aid---sword soothing strings and drinks---- pub and feather of life is a pheonix down

It's not a shop. The first line is a weapon, but not a staff. But you guessed Pheonix Down correctly.

EDIT: Oops, I see why you guessed a staff. Let me change the riddle to make it more accurate:

mage's best friend--- a rod or knife
Imperial Aid--- Hotuken

It is a Rod.

soothing strings-- a harp
and drinks --- potions

Yes to both, but they're more specific.
