Anyone can go.
See me months before you arrive
Even though one of you will travel pass me but not see me when the time comes
Salinty describes me, as do those extinct
I am the gateway to an empire
Is it the Lunatic Pandora?
Great Salt Lake?
Dollet Station?
I'm voting on this oneQuote:

Thanks, but it's not echo screen.Quote:

Nope. Good guess though.
I can't figure it out.
I give hints upon request.
Might as well give me one then. Been a while since I was in this topic, forgot the rules.
I think each riddler has their own rule about hints, but the most important general rule is: one guess at a time.
HintYou'll need a thesaurus to solve one of the lines.
Repost:

Something to do with Ward?
Still no.
Something to do with the magic, Silence?
It's not related to status ailments, but mute is the key word.
The thesaurus hint makes me think you're taking it to mean the silent letter meaning?Quote:

The answer is not a monster per se, but one is indirectly involved.
Siren and the whole Dollet Comm. Tower encounter.
Nope.
Well you meet Seifer before Zell and i guess you could say Zell is the first...
Also when you first meet Zell (he's the mute cause hes a bit of a dumbass)
He has a say (his oppinion about Seifer) to Squall.
EDIT: I take what i said back, Zell is smart.
It's not Zell.
Another hint?
HintThe answer is a place.
Centra Ruins.
No.
Galbadia Garden?
No, but it's mobile.
The train?
Be more specific.
The train from Balamb Town to Timber.
It's not that one.
The Timber Owls' train? The mute possibly referring to the President Dummy. Except he's not mute. I dunno. xD
That's the one. Squall and his friends encouter the second car before the first one, before the dummy car (dumb is a synonym for mute).
FFIX Choco Boy can make a riddle if he wants, he did the most of the work. Or someone else can go, if he doesn't want to.
You have felled my friends,
so I shall cook for you.
You attack me,
so I hold my lantern for you.
You have beaten me,
I shall follow you.
You have trained me,
I shall give luck to you.
Who am I?
Tonberry King?
Yup, easy one, your go.
Let me tell you a story
About the "destruction"
Of the Greatest Magician alive.
With the help of a wise man
who opened the eyes
of the people of Z.
Initiated the hunt.
What is this?
The Legend of Vascaroon.
The Shumi Tribe?
Rantzien got it. Not many go back and listen to the story on the White SeeD Ship I thought :p
I'm a sucker for obscure stuff like that. :)
A languid day
Be careful what you wish for
Wave goodbye to the most grande you've seen
Fisherman's Horizon?
Along those lines the Master Fisherman's quick getaway from the oncoming Garden?
BG-57 got it. :)
I think that was my first freeform riddle. I liked writing it, although it was obviously a little too easy. I'll get you next time, BG! *shakes fist*
That always happens with youre riddles Rantzien, you look for a person or action, and I give a place, or vice versa.
Next time Gadget, next time! :DQuote:

Cephalopod's delight

To warm Ptomely's heart
Hmmm...something about the card game...
"To warm Ptomely's heart" something to do with an item maybay.
Yes, line 4 relates to an item.
Hmm, can't think of an item in FFVIII to match this, but it's gotta have something to do with the Earth being the center, since Ptolmey was the Egyptian astronomer who mad the Geocentric model of the universe.
It's more to do with his nationality than his discoveries.

I assume you were seized by an attack of dyslexia and meant to type "Ptolemy," in which case this riddle is related to ancient Rome somehow?
Ptolemy is from Egypt.
BG-57 has topped the riddles because....
YOU HAVE TO RESEARCH THIS RIDDLE.
I see what you mean. Yes, it's Ptomely, but he wasn't Roman.Quote:

Nice idea, but no.
Cheryl's Store in Esthar?
Nope.
Tri-Face?
Lol, my next guess isQuote:

Dangit, I thought Megiddo Flame would get it.
My next guess is HASTE! (It's a cool wurd and it needs to be CapLocked!)
I'm gonna do some research on this.
the Nautilus shop? (Ctrl+F in the link below and search Nautilus shop)
Final fantasy 8 help, anyone? | Gaia Online
Could the answer be Lionheart?
Cephalopod's delight
Although an All button
Would speed things up
To warm Ptomely's heart
Line 1 - I think Nautiloids is on the right track, but not that store so much
Line 2 - The fact "All" was italicised just made me think of target all magic
Line 3 - Something relevant to either Haste or Double/Triple as it speeds things up
Line 4 - Reference to Egypt
I've not actually got an answer, just thought it might spark an idea in someone's head
Is the item a Phoenix Spirit?
I'm pretty sure the item is a Rosetta Stone, actually. Rosetta stones in the real world are Egyptian artifacts from the Ptolemaic era.
Nautilus is a species of Cephalopod, if I remember correctly.
The cephalopod in question is not a nautilus, but keep trying.Quote:

So...
Cephalopod's delight - What PuPu wants
Although an All button -
Would speed things up - would speed things up
To warm Ptomely's heart - to get the Rosetta Stone
And to befriend PuPu you need to give him an elixir so my answer is Elixir!
If it is referring to PuPu:
To speed things up - Accelerator
Which gives Auto-Haste.
Good guess, but no.Quote:

No, it's more of an action.

I don't know if anyone has used this yet, but Mad Rush?

Getting the Rosetta Stone from the Esthar Mall?
Nope.
defeat ultimecia/sorceresses
No, it specifically results in getting a Rosetta Stone.
Find Esthar? lol I think I'm just going to type in whatever I see when I search up the hints
Wait, you can get the Rosetta Stone in Esthar by repeatingly going into the shop, so thats another guess
Repeatingly going into the closed shop owned by Cheryl
Also, repost:
Cephalopod's delight

To warm Ptomely's heart
Playing the organ in Ultimecia's castle. If you press the L- and R-buttons and the shape buttons all at the same time (an All button would speed things up), you'll get access to a Rosetta Stone. (To warm Ptolemy's heart)
I don't know why I didn't think of that before.
If this is correct (I'm fully clueless to be honest but it sounds plausible) then what is the first line alluding to?Quote:
Originally Posted by Rantzien

Your go, Rantzien.
Nice one that.
Twins and antipodes, solidus and its converse
Well known the bridges and fronts we traverse
Painful was our beginning, but we welcomed you
You won't see the end of us, though we each have two
Righty and Lefty?
Nope.
You made it too long, by the time I finish I forget the beginning, lol.
I'm going to guess Galbadia and Balamb gardens.
Propagators?
I really don't think it is correct, worth a shot though.
Not any Gardens or the Propagators.
Shumi/Moomba?
Nope.
There where a time where I could remember all the monsters names without having to look them up.
Answer: Belhelmel
It's not a monster. :)
Is it something to do with Brothers and Tomb of the unknown king
Not a thing. :)
OMG give us a clue...
(I bet its a place)
The answer consists of two connected things, one of which should be more familiar than the other.
GF and magic or GF and junction
Some connection between the past with Laguna and the present with Squall? Say, Lunatic Pandora?
No, the things are concurrent. Lunatic Pandora is not involved. It's not GF and Magic/Junction.

Ragnorak and the Twins?
Nope.
Does it have anything to do with Sorceresses or GFs?
No, nothing.
Ahhm.......Is it those white doors in Ultimecia's castle.
If not is it something to do with the whole lunar cry thing.
Antipodes are opposites on the planet. The only antipodes that I can see on this handy map I have are the Islands Closest to Heaven/Hell.
I don't know how it relates to the other parts, apart from you can probably see Heaven from near Deling, near Winhill and near the Desert Prison.
I dunno, someone else solve it :D
Nothing is right so far. Antipodes isn't referring to opposite sides of the planet in this case, just opposites in general (as per the broader definition).
Google definitions has failed me again! D:
EDIT: I feel like it has something to do with trains? I have no idea why.
Nothing to do with trains. :)
The Compressed World and the Normal World?
No.
Is it ultima weapon and omega weapon
No. Much smaller.
Well IDK... I was gonna go with the future and the past or maybe Island Cloasest to Hell/Heaven but I really don't know, Another hint?
The two parts of the answer are small attributes of larger things.
1st and 2nd floor of Balamb Garden?
Nope. They are attributes of two separate things.
R=U? Both the same thing eventually just different at the different times?
No. :)
Man this it tricccccccccccky :)
The answer parts are of the same nature.
Is it an item of some sort???
Like potion and hi potion?
Seifer and Squall's scars
Twins and antipodes, solidus and its converse - Squall and Seifer are similar, yet they are like opposites.
Well known the bridges and fronts we traverse - Not sure
Painful was our beginning, but we welcomed you - The scars were painful to receive
You won't see the end of us, though we each have two - The scars don't heal
A lame attempt, but I like to provide reasoning for my guesses where possible.
Jiro is correct! :D
Twins and antipodes, solidus and its converse
Refers to the nature of the scars, they are "twins" because they're pretty much the same and were received at the same time. They are "antipodes" because, as "solidus and its converse" says, Seifer's squall is shaped like a solidus ( / ), and Squall's is mirrored ( \ ).
Well known the bridges and fronts we traverse
The scars both cross Seifer's and Squall's nosebridges and fronts. Well known because Squall and Seifer are such prominent characters.
Painful was our beginning, but we welcomed you
As Jiro says, the scars were painful to receive. "We welcomed you" refers to the fact that it's one of the first things you see happening in the game.
You won't see the end of us, though we each have two
The scars remain for the entirety of the game, but they do each have two ends (pertaining to their shape).
Jiro is up! :)
i made one
I will see the daylight,
when you run into a fight.
There is no way out for the enemies,
because i am their nemesis.
But i'm not always around,
so you'll have to go all out.
what/who am I ?
I guess this is a little too easy for you :)
Odin
yep. Your turn choco
Someone else take it, I'm not very good at the FF8 riddles.
im thinking....
this forum is dead :D
Not a place of concrete sculpture
Not a fake drummer for a lettered band
Not an unorthodox church hymn choice
But her femininity is there to see
Selphie?
Nope.
Gonna break it down even though I can't come up with an answer right now. xD
Not a place of concrete sculpture - I'm thinking this could be a reference to a location. Maybe Centra or Trabia Garden...
Not a fake drummer for a lettered band - No idea.
Not an unorthodox church hymn choice - Probably a reference to a song within this location. Can't think of one right now that might sound religious.
But her femininity is there to see - A female character.
To be fair, lines 1-3 are referencing things outside the game, and line 4 references something within it.
Yes, the answer is female, but maybe not obviously so.
Adel?
I was going to say eyes on me, but then I read the last 2 posts...
Less obvious.Quote:

But her femininity is there to see (She has mammaries)
I was gonna say Eden, but I guess I was gone a little long : (
I cried aloud with mirth and merriment I never guessed even close to the top 3 lines. The only reason I got it was because Eden isn't an ACTUAL building (line 1), and there's not many creatures in the game that have less obvious femininity than Adel :PQuote:

Alright
A front row seat,
but one is afraid to lose something precious.
Now I stand abandoned,
with nought but a queen by my side.
Quistis, since she's unable to hook up with Squall and one of her whips is Save the Queen.
Is it when you fight Edea in the Galbadian Auditorium or the fight at the end of the first disk
A front row seat, - The front row seat in the Auditorium
but one is afraid to lose something precious. - Squall is usually brave.
Now I stand abandoned, He fights alone most of the time
with nought but a queen by my side - Edea or Rinoa
No and no
The last person you verse for the CC Group Quest? (Can't recall which one it is at the moment.)
I only just realised I had a correct guess ages ago. My apologies for not returning with a riddle, it was my first correct answer! :o
Seifer and the events at the TV Station in Timber
A front row seat, - Squall and Co are right there, as are Deling, Seifer and Edea
but one is afraid to lose something precious. - Edea mentions that Seifer is afraid
Now I stand abandoned, - Seifer is effectively kicked out of Garden after this
with nought but a queen by my side. - Seifer becomes a Sorcesses' Knight, similar to a Queen's Knight I imagine
FFIX Choco Boy - You're slightly getting there
Jiro - No :p
Goddammit I thought I had it! xD
So I assume it has something to do with Triple Triad then?
A clue would be sort of linked to triple triad :D
Is it Martine?
No

Nida?
is it the card queen's husband - the guy in dollet which holds the siren-card?
No, and no.
Is it sacrificing certain cards to the Queen get rare cards from others?
Nope
Is it Piet from Lunar Gate at Disc 4 (The Card Queen is with him at Disc 4)?
No but very close
Alexander Card?
No :rolleyes2
CC Members?
Getting colder. Karifean has been the warmest so far. Practically incinerated in fact.
The escape pod?
THE ESCAPE POD!
"A front row seat" - They were extremely close to one of the biggest spectacles in the world (the lunar cry)
"but one is afraid to lose something precious." - Squall is scared of losing Rinoa at this point.
"Now I stand abandoned" - self explanatory.
"with nought but a queen by my side." - The card queen is standing beside it when you find it on the world map.
Sorry I may have caused confusion because I actually forgot Piet was there with the card queen when you found it again. ^^'
Your turn Rantzien.
