Excalibur 2?
No, it is not a weapon.
Formed from another - Both alike but with different names. Your guess they are formed from one another?
different color and different terrain - The two variations of it are of different colour
my passage lies lower than before - Boss1 attacked en route North to Alexandra, Boss 2 attacks en route south to Treno?
my maker a man of many reputations - Formed of the Mist? Or are you talking about Gargant Roo?
Ralvuhrava/Ralvuimago?
haha told you I haven't played in a while. :DQuote:

my maker a man of many reputations - means that the person or object in question was created by somebody. Kuja is a "man" (hehe, couldn't resist) of "many reputations", but I can't remember if he created anything but the black mages (which I've already tried).
EDIT: After reading this, Bran Bal comes to mind, but the answer isn't a place >.<
The answer was formed another, not from each other.Quote:

No, I am speaking of a person.

lol, toughy, isn't it?
Kuja is not the man in that line however.
Is it Soulcage?
It's one of the Hilda Garde's. I'll say Hilda Garde in general
Oh is it the Hilda Garde 3?
Formed from another- It was made from the boat ship.
(Forgot its name)
different color and different terrain- the boat is blue and the ship is black, the hilda garde travels through air the boat through water.
my passage lies lower than before- hmm...I don't know.
my maker a man of many reputations- Cid the ruler of lindblum!
You're really close but it is not Hilda Garde or Hilda Garde 3.
Hilda Garde 2, then which is what I meant by Hilda Garde in general
Neither is it Hilda Garde 2.
oh i got it. Is it the Blue Narciss? Or however you spell it.....
Oh yeah! That would make sense wouldn't it, especially if all those other ships were wrong.
This is my logic.
Formed from another - Couldn't really understand what to do here.
different color and different terrain - Its Blue and on water
my passage lies lower than before - Lower and before here refers to on the sea
my maker a man of many reputations -Cid
I think the boat was made from the previous hilda garde ship.
Correct! The answer is Blue Narciss. Here is the reasoning:
Formed from another - The Blue Narciss was made from the Hilda Garde 2.
different color and different terrain - It is blue other than the gray of the hilda garde 2, and instead of going by air it goes by sea.
my passage lies lower than before - sea is lower than the sky
my maker a man of many reputations -Cid. reputations was not literal in this but figurative as he had the reputation/form of an oglop, a frog, and his normal self.
Yay, well here is my riddle.
Time Changes Many,
The Changes run deep.
Defeated not once but twice, by these worms.
My final Fury, goes beyond the grave.
kuja?
Nope, to people who are guessing: please give your reasoning.
Umm those two big worms in gargant roo...or is it one worm just looks different? Rava... something.
Time Changes Many- The worm changed when you came back to gargant roo.
The Changes run deep- Gargant roo is deep underground?
Defeated not once but twice, by these worms- You have to defeat the wroms? Or the gargant became afraid of it twice?
My final Fury, goes beyond the grave- The worm chases you to pinicle rocks even after you defeat it in battle.
Black Waltz #3.
Time changes many - He's... quite a bit different the second time you fight him.
The changes run deep - Like, completely haywire.
Defeated not once, but twice by these worms - You fight him twice and he hates you.
My final fury goes beyond the grave - After you beat him, he takes control of an airship and tries to ram you. Also, you fight him again on the way to Treno.
Oh yeah that would make more sense than mine. :D
Actually, its Ace thats right. Lol.
Reasoning:
Time Changes Many, - He is differn't looking and thinking the second time you fight him.
The Changes run deep. - Underground
Defeated not once but twice, by these worms. - Worms is the big here, the first time you fight him he is a worm thing. Second is you beat it twice.
My final Fury, goes beyond the grave. - He chases you to the pinacle rocks which contributes to a series of events that leads dagger to go emo. Lol, your up Ace.
Ace, you were correct on the riddle. Do you have a riddle of your own to post or do you pass?
EDIT: It appears Ace has not arrived to make a riddle, so the floor is open for any.
Oh haha I'm really sorry, I didn't expect I would get it right. Anyone can take my turn.
He sits there, waiting
His Quasi-swampy enviornment around him
Something more than heightened knowledge he has to share
But everything isn't that easy
Ok, this one should be pretty simple I think, compared to my last one.
I want to say ragtime mouse
Quale?
Mogster
Free floor if I'm right.
Neither of those are correct.
Regent Cid?
He sits there, waiting (self-explanatory)
His Quasi-swampy enviornment around him (Lindblum is surrounded by Mist)
Something more than heightened knowledge he has to share (he has knowledge about airships, hence the heightened knowledge)
But everything isn't that easy (he can almost never give you the information he has, you always have to do something to help him out first)
It is not Regent Cid either.
The chocobo in chocobo's dreamworld.
It is not fat chocobo. Few more guesses till hints come out.
The moogle who has a little brother who aska a whole lot of questions.
He teaches players a lot of things about how the game works. NO idea the name but I hope you understand who I'm trying to say.
Appear's in Ate's
He sits there, waiting- is only seen in that one place
His Quasi-swampy enviornment around him- that place is a swamp
Something more than heightened knowledge he has to share-Teaches you things and I believ he gives you a hint on how to get to the 2nd continent
But everything isn't that easy-isn't easy to get through it either way.
It is not the wise moogle in the swamp. I think it would help if you learned the definition of the prefix quasi-.
is it blank?
Quasi- resembling; seeming; virtual: a quasi member.
Not Blank.
Taharka?
Hades?
Neither Taharka nor Hades.
Hint: You must gather parts of something to attain what he gives you.
I couldn't think of anything more cryptic than that so it's a giveaway now.
It's not Morrid is it?
ozma?
ark?
Ramuh.
Washington is correct: Ramuh is the answer.
Explanation:
He sits there, waiting - He's been waiting for someone worthy of him
His Quasi-swampy enviornment around him - The area(I forget what it's called, Pinnacle something) is somewhat swamp like due to the mossy and wet environment.
Something more than heightened knowledge he has to share - he gives you the power to summon him
But everything isn't that easy - you had to collect pieces of a story and put them in order.
My riddle:
I wait for adventurers who seek a stone
In an abandoned realm
To summon me you must obtain
A second piece
k
Ark.
Odin?
correct sorry about lateless.Quote:

EDIT: Since eiko guy has not posted a riddle in the past few days, it is now open for anyone to post one. But just to save on time I think I'll do one since I'm already here:
Enervating all enemies
Coming from the transparent sea
Gales he creates
A paragon seizing the power
Leviathan?
Garland?
Not Leviathan or Garland. XD
Bahamut?
Yep. The riddle was easy, I know, I just wanted more people to get back here. XD
Bad at riddles, someone else take it.
>.< How'd I miss that one?
I'll try this. I'm pretty sure this isn't gonna be very good, but here goes.
Fiendish we are,
and weak we are not.
Strong we are,
but we served one who is greater.
Beat once we were,
but die we did not.
Remembered we were,
and guard a greater secret we did.
Yoda, we are not. :tongue:
Zorn and Thorn?
Nope. The riddle says theyre strong. XD
They were kinda strong. >.> Chaos guardians?
kinda wish someone pm'd me that i had got it right >.>
Hmmm.... It's someone strong, Not Zorn and Thorn, and there is probley more then one...?
The 4 gaurdians is my guess :D
Yeah, it's the Chaos/Elemental Fiends/Guardians/whatever they're called. Ace can go.
Someone else can go :)
Well Eiko Guy it is your responsibility to check up here and see if you did or not, sorry. As for the next riddle, I'm stumped right now. Hope somebody else can think of one.
You will win this by getting a certain amount of points.Ech monster is worth a certain amount of points. Every man for himself!!!!
the monster hunt in lindblum?
yup yay!!!!!!!ur turn!
For now I'm gone
BUt never forgotten
Once used for protection
But no longer so
I am never seen while im alive
But I still move but with help from my master.
What am I?
Mog
dang nabit i always lose my answer cuz im not fast enough.rrrrr...
How were you not fast enough? This riddle has been going on for like 7 days when washington actually gave an answer.
i ws busy gosh u got to be so mean!(starts to sob):cry:
Noone is right thankfully
Sorry about being gone for a week. Must stay more vigilant.
Ark?
Bad, but all I can think of.
Alexander?
Hmm, a bit tough, isn't it?...*shrugs* Oh well, at least the thread is still going. ^^
none ^.^
Couple more guesses and Ill hint.
is it a fiend or something like that....?
The boat ship thing? The narcaciss or something like that.
is it protect magic lol itss probably wrong!
NO to everything if you ask more questions or post reasong i can help you.
For now I'm gone - self-explanatory
BUt never forgotten - It's probably more literal than this, but this line makes me want to think it's in Memoria.
Once used for protection - also self-explanatory
But no longer so - taken control of, maybe?
I am never seen while im alive - was once living; implies that it is undead or created somehow
But I still move but with help from my master. - further pushes in the direction of undead or machine.
The problem is, I don't know about any significant undead in the game other than Soulcage, but he doesn't seem to fit the second or the last line. (is it Soulcage?)
I'm probably way off on the second line, but that's the kind of thing I would use in one of my riddles, so it's just how I think.
hehehehahah nonoe have even cracked my riddle at all.
Hmm a hint. It gets replaced before the game ends.
The Hilda Garde II, but probably not.
Sadly not. Reasoning is hereby asked for please. You're not getting anywhere and maybe if you look at why you chose your answer you can find a better answer.
the blue narcissis?
nope. If you try to ad reasoning i can tell you where youve gone wrong.
What happened here? Did everyone give up? D: Sure hope not and everyone just forgot to check back. >.<
Eidolons?
For now I'm gone
But never forgotten- The summons are taken from Dagger but you get them back eventually
Once used for protection- They were mean't to protect...
But no longer so- Queen Fatty uses them to kill and destroy
I am never seen while im alive- They're dead? I don't know, look at Ramuh he's a ghost :D
But I still move but with help from my master- Dagger control them
the invincible?
For now I'm gone
But never forgotten- you can see the destruction
Once used for protection- that old guy used it on madain sahari for his protection
But no longer so- started annahilating towns
I am never seen while im alive- its an eye, dunno if its an eidolon
But I still move but with help from my master- with kuja, old guy or zidane
or maybe mist?
For now I'm gone
But never forgotten- when its gone everyone forgets about it
Once used for protection- borders and for the airships that gaurd lindblum
But no longer so- all over the place so monsters everywhere
I am never seen while im alive- souls.. so you dont see where they come from
But I still move but with help from my master- kuja here
neither
ace 14 dont say the answer now that you know please.
so its an eidolon?
Nah it isn't, he told me the answer
phoenix pinion?
for reasons you can imagine yourself
Ooooh I'm glad this thread was revived, I love the riddles.:D
Anyhoo my guess is Mog.:mog:
Might as well say it for eiko guy, it's neither of those. :D Sorry I just wanted say that eiko. :p
its too hard.. isnt fun anymore.. im not gonna guess anymore
eiko guy's riddle:

What am I?
Gets replaced before the game ends.
Reposted for simplicity's sake. And stop whining about it being "too hard :crying:". I'm fed up with these rubbish get-it-in-three-post riddles. Good work, eiko guy. Don't tell them the answer. And stop guessing everyone. It clearly hasn't helped anyone. If you post your reasoning then eiko guy can tell you where you've gone wrong and hint at what you should think about.
Not having played the game for a good year or so doesn't help with this. What's got me stumped is the "For now" part. That suggests the answer disappears or something at a single point in the game, but unfortunately I can't remember enough of the game to think where.
I'm gonna go with Hilda Garde 1. I know 2's been said, but meh. It's a start.
For now I'm gone - It gets stolen.
BUt never forgotten - Cid never forgets it and is always trying to rebuild her.
Once used for protection - Wasn't it Linblum's attempt to gain dominance in the skies? Alexandria had the Red Rose, which was awesome, and Cid wanted a ship that could travel anywhere blah blah blah. Whatever. ;)
But no longer so - It got nicked, and eventually used to transport Kuja around, and he's not a nice man. :(
I am never seen while im alive - *whole idea crumbles* ummm....urhhhh....It's a ship. It's not alive.
But I still move but with help from my master. - Pilots.
What am I? - Hilda Garde 1. I just bloody told you!
heheh noone is right.
hmm Well Quin this thing is willingly given up. Hmm given up isn't the right word. BUt basically it goes because of its owners actions.
The second lines reasoning isn't clos sorry.
By once used for protection i mean a long time ago. Before even the characters grandparents could be alive. Way before then.
In this day in age it isn't used for protection...leaving it at that
This object is never seen while alive....leaving that at that
It moves and doesn't exactly needs it's owners will to move.
It isn't a machine
And it isn't eidolons?
I'ma say the Game Over screen, it makes alot of sense. Mostly in the never seen while alive part.
Im wanting to say Necron but i cant really explain why.
For now I'm gone
But never forgotten
Once used for protection
But no longer so
I am never seen while im alive
But I still move but with help from my master.
I dunno, it just seems to be a description of Necron to me.
Ill try to add some reasoning to this post soon.:mog:
Nothing so complicated guys.
You see the answer on disc one for the first time.
I can't seem to find anything that fits all the lines! :)
It's not General Madelene is it? She fits all lines except for the last one. (Damn the last line)
theater ship?
OMG PANTZ IZ BAK.
Hey, I haven't been gone much longer than you :tongue:
Yeah, but shut up. :love:
I've decided I'm just gonna have to play through Disk 1 again (omg tragedy) if PANTZ or Mr. 47's answers aren't correct.
Nothing elaborate.
The answer is all over the game. ALL over the game.
Hint: The answer is only half gone when it leaves.
Evil Forest?
or Clerya Sandstorm?
The jewels that summon Alexander? I dunno.
I would say the Crystal. Almost certainly wrong, and i can't make it fit all the reasoning yet, but it's a hunch. And it's on the games cover!
haha no guys.
If we reach page 60 and noon has guessed it I will say its color. whoo...
Haha, dude, for me page 60 is another 29 pages away. :D
I'm gonna guess the item that the moogles use on the Machine in Mognet Central, Superslick
the mist??
no to all.
Not an item
page 60?! thats like another...9 pages away and about 270 posts. You're gonna give more hints before then right?
Hints:
Gets replaced before the game ends.
Is given away freely.
Seen first on Disc One.
Colour is an important factor.
My next guess is Vivi
For now I'm gone (Dies)
But never forgotten (Of course net, who could forget Vivi)
Once used for protection (Spells perhaps)
But no longer so (Because of the whole being bereft of life thing)
I am never seen while im alive (Technically not alive because he is made of mist, the souls of the people of gaia)
But I still move but with help from my master. (The mist is maybe Vivis master)
Hints:
Gets replaced before the game ends. (Lots of little Vivis in the end FMV)
Is given away freely (on Disc 1) (Got me beat this line it throws the whole Vivi guess away)
Colour is an important factor. (Black - He's a Black Mage)
Oh wow this is really hard. I love this riddle. The hints have made it even harder and made me want to solve it even more. :mog:
This thing int given away freely on disc one. It's given away freely. And is first seen on disc one. You lso see This characters master very early as well.
Noone is correct.
Have we been through the Black Waltzes? I reckon 3.
First and second lines: Vivi kicks his ass but he comes back.
Third and Fourth: The Waltzes were, in a sense, made for the "protection" of Garnet from those "evil kidnappers". They repeatedly say that they're there to safely return her to the castle I think. Or maybe not. But whatever. 3 goes barmy and tries to kill everyone.
Fifth and sixth: Once again, they're are machines really. Never truly alive, as they must obey they're masters Zorn and Thorn (or maybe Kuja?).
That's your lot for now. :bigsmile:
You're probably right, you bastard.
I don't think so. It has holes that I can't fill, but that could just be the differences in how eiko guy and I think. Fingers crossed though, eh? :D
And suck it, Rantz.
it's hair! garnet's hair! she cuts it all off. and hair is never alive!!!
i dunno. i'm being creative. :(
HAHAHHAHHAHHAHH
Feel the illinoise is correct.
For now I'm gone It's cut away
But never forgotten You can't forget her hair
Once used for protection hair used to be for protectio from heat and cold and stuffs
But no longer so We have clothes now
I am never seen while im alive Hair is dead once it leaves the follicleBut I still move but with help from my master. It moves when garnet moves.
Wow. Me and eiko guy think REALLY differently. Haha, good riddle. Good answer too. Congrats to feel the illinoise!.
what do i do now?? :o
You can make up a riddle of your own.
If you'd rather not, just leave it up for grabs.
I am neither the alpha nor the omega, but I am between them both.
I was born to rule.
There! Two hints.
The enemy Mu? It's one of the middlemost letters in the greek alphabet :) I don't know about the second hint though.
they go together! :love: oh, and no.Quote:

Bahamut?
No idea what he could have to do with the omega and alpha stuff but he's the ruler of dragons or king or something so yeah. :D
Alexander?
Nope. I might have to think of more hints...
Hint: Think LARGE, but not as in size. :love: That doesn't mean think small in size, but maybe large could have a different meaning?
The crystal? In the Final Fantasy IX logo, it's amidst a group of letters :p And of course, it's large in meaning for the game, while not exactly small in size.
nope! ;_;
Zidane's ego? :D
Ohoho, very witty. :p
Necron? His power is large and so is he :D
So close. So so so close. xDQuote:

My calling now is not too far from what it was before
though I don't play with you much, friends and peers, not anymore
I am tired, weary; Do I even still exist?
I can't feel my limbs, but through my work I will persist!
Though short, unknown and ugly may all well be in command
they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand
black mages?.. maybe Kuja controlling them?
No sir.
is it vivi?
Geonomes?
Neither.
A hunk of blue cheese?
Garland?
I was considering this...Quote:

Incorrect answers:
Black Mages
Kuja
Vivi
Genomes
Blue Cheese :-)
Garland
None right so far.
I smurfing hate you for this riddle, Rantz. :mad2: I haven't the ruddy foggiest, so I'm gonna have to go play the game again. :)
Necron? xD
Regent Cid?
No to both. :)
I'm not gonna be anal about reasoning for your guesses, but it does help me help you. Picking the riddle apart and thinking aloud about each line will get you more feedback than fifty guesses.
And Quin, replay the game by all means, but I don't think it's going to help you much ;)
Is it the game itself?
My calling now is not too far from what it was before - Maybe you've started playing it more often, like when you first got it?
though I don't play with you much, friends and peers, not anymore
I am tired, weary; Do I even still exist? - This contradicts the first line of reasoning but whatever: you don't play it as much as you first did?
I can't feel my limbs, but through my work I will persist! - It's a ruddy obsessive game.
Though short, unknown and ugly may all well be in command
they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand - You control different characters, but they all think they're acting of their own accord. They don't know they're in a game.
I just guessed that from the "playing the game won't help" clue.
Good thinking, but it's not an abstract answer in that way. What I meant was rather that you're unlikely to take notice of the answer in the game.
Stiener? :o
Nope ;D
If it's Lav Layderce again I'm gonna kill you. :D
It's most certainly not Lavvy ^^
Edit: I may just as well be generous with hints. The answer is not anything inanimate.
The lice that jumped off of Zidane's head when he entered evil forest?
Queen uhh...something, I can't believe I forgot her name! :( I need to replay this game, it's the fat one ya know?
queen stravagotzia or something.. the one that collects the stellagio
It's not Queen Brahne, Queen Stella or any parasitical lifeform ;)
I've got it! It's... (SPOILER)Rantz!
I wish! :jess:
is it the pointer on screen? :greenie:Quote:

Could it possibly be the Card Master Phantom thingy bloke. I know you know what I mean. I'm too tired to give my reasoning. If it's right, I might haha.
It's not correct, but I'll help more if you post your reasoning. Do as you wish! :monster:
Is it the player of the game??
My calling now is not too far from what it was before
though I don't play with you much, friends and peers, not anymore- The player of the game won't hang out with their friends as much and will be a loser if they do nothing but play final fantasy 9
I am tired, weary; Do I even still exist?- If you play the game non stop you'll be exhausted and won't even think you'll exist?
I can't feel my limbs, but through my work I will persist!- You'll lose feeling in your fingers if you keep playing but you'll get farther
Though short, unknown and ugly may all well be in command- Your a loser and you control the characters in the game?
they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand- you control the characters in the game
Probably really wrong but it was worth a try :D
Nope. Again, the answer is not abstract to the characters in the game or outside of their world.
"Short, unknown and ugly" are epithets of three characters.
vivi, amarant and steiner
They're not any of the main characters.
Somehow the first guess that comes to my mind is Black Waltz #3. I have no idea if it's right or wrong.
Nope, sorry ^_^
The riddle contains references to a previous Final Fantasy.
Is it those three twin brothers? The really ugly ones who worked with tantulas
It's not the Nero brothers.

cloud squall and .. other guy
Yeah!!! Marcus, Cinna, Baku, etc etc?? :D
Nope! Think about what you have that describes them, apart from the particular words short, unknown and ugly.
Dammit Rantz, give another hint puh-leeze. ;_;
Sure! :)
"Short, unknown and ugly" are three separate people, i.e. one "short", one "unknown" and one "ugly". They hold a specific relation and are all significant characters to the game.
Cinna = Ugly
Quina = Unknown (Gender)
Moogles = They are Short
Well, actually, the moogle bros that theach you stuff do talk about menus, buttons, guages, and that sort of stuff. Just saying...Quote:
