Mistakes of the past

The solution amassed
from one red oversized
I know it has something to do in space. Is it when Squall goes to save Rinoa or when they show their love on the Ragnorak?Quote:

The solution amassed - Self-explanatory, The problem in his attitude issues and feelings are solved.
from on red oversized - Ragnorak, they go into the Ragnorak.
Nope! Nothing to do with space.
Hot dogs? :D
No, although it's a very profound guess! xD
Would the "red oversized" be the Galbadia Garden? I'm thinking it has something to do with when you fight Edea and Ultimecia isn't possessing her anymore. Like everyone forgives her and stuff and remember she is matron.
The "red oversized" is not Galbadia Garden, and Edea and Ultimecia are not involved.
Red oversized must be Ragnarok then? But I can see lots of things about the past that would fit with the Ragnarok :(
Not the Ragnarok. :)
I may be taking an unusual understanding of your use of the word "past" or even "mistakes" for that matter, but could it be when you enter the prison cell in Ultimecia's castle and you have to defeat the Red Giant to get the key in order to escape?
I anticipated that guess, but sadly that is not the answer I'm looking for. The "red oversized" is not the Red Giant, despite the epithet being fitting.
Is it D-District Prison?
Nope!
The last 2 lines make it seem like its referring to an item dropped by some monster?
Or could it be Adel and the Time Compression event right after beating her?
It's not an item dropped by a monster, but you're not entirely on the wrong track with that.
It's not Adel and the TC event.
Is the Red-oversized the Lunar Cry?
No. Do you want a hint?
Yassir.
is the red oversized Esthar, and is it the item you can use to make G.F.s forget abilities?
Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised <---- you can simply use that item to make G.F.s forget abilities.
The solution amassed <---- you can buy it infinite times...
from one red oversized <---- in esthar.
HintThe "mistakes of the past" are very much subjective if they are mistakes or not.
Edit: The "red oversized" is not Esthar, and the answer is not Amnesia Greens.
When you say they are subjective, does that mean they are also optional mistakes, or are they tied to the story?
They are optional mistakes, i.e. they could very well be avoided to begin with.
Sounds like the cards to me.... the high level ones like Squall.
The mistake can be rectified aboard ragnarok if you missed them earlier, such as Quistis holding the squall card and other people aboard holding the others.
Good guess, but no. The Ragnarok isn't involved.
The Garden's defence from the missile attack or something like that I dunno :p

Pretty much I'm going off the big red button. I originally thought about the mistakes being whatever happens in the Missile Base with Selphie, and then I thought that (iirc) the button to activate Garden's flying mechanism is big and red (one red oversized). It's all I've got!
Sorry, nope. :) These mistakes aren't quite as severe!
All I can think of is some status-refreshing magic, like dispel or esuna, but I don't remember them being red. Isn't Carbuncle's skill ruby light? Rubies are red, and it has one on its forehead. It's not exactly "oversized" and it doesn't neutralize any mistakes, so that can't be right.
I'm just taking random stabs here, hah.
Nothing right, sorry.
Doomtrain? His status ailments can turn the tide in a hard battle.
Not Doomtrain.
Either:
defeating ifrit thus proving you can be a seeD candidate. the optional pst mistakes i guess is cause you can choose to be a bit of a prick to everyone at the start.
or
The pheonix summon.
optional mistakes such as dying in battle.
pheonix = big & red & solves problem.
just a guess (Y)
Pretty good guesses, but none right. For future reference, it's generally frowned upon to give more than one guess before the riddle maker has confirmed or denied the first one.
Big red oversized has to be Galbadia Garden then?
But as to what mistakes of the past, I have no idea. Perhaps the mistake of the past was when they failed to assassinate Edea (the plan was drawn up by martine @ galbadian garden) and they then make up for this by attacking Galbadian garden head on against Seifer and Edea once more later in the game
Nope, it's not Galbadia Garden being referred to. The mistakes would be more on the player's behalf.
hmmmm how about getting all the GF back in 1 place at ultimecias castle, even if you missed them?
Noooope, sorry.
Could it, by any chance, have anything to do with the cafeteria in Balamb Garden?
Not a thing, I'm afraid!
I've never gotten that far, but are the bosses you can draw missed GFs from red? Missing GFs isn't always a mistake, but you can fix that by drawing them later. I dunno :/
Nope, that's not it. The mistakes made aren't strategical, I might add.
Is it the flashback involving Laguna and the red dragon?
Afraid not!

Damn I thought I got it there but then realised that it was a story based mistake :(. (I was thinking about Irvine not shooting edea then the gate team pressing the button which i think was red). Must think harder >_<
so Im guessing the last line refers to the red giant, so is the riddle about the prison key in ultis castle?
Nope!
So the mistakes are made by the player, yet are relevant to the plot?
They're made by the player (I should reinforce that whether they are mistakes or not is highly subjective, although correcting them would imply that they were considered as such), but they aren't relevant to the plot at all.
Is it the red face that tells you 'The Treasure is not here'?
Nope!
Hitting a bomb and making it grow?
Nein.

Ruby Dragons you have to fight if you answer Bahamut incorrectly.
Not the Ruby Dragons.
Damn what big red thing hasn't been mentioned yet? I've been sitting here for half an hour tryin to figure this out.
just because it says red oversized, doesn't mean its big :P could mean its bigger than what else its related to :P
Such as the bombs, for instance, they can grow in size, but they are still quite small! (I'm sure the bombs aren't related to the answer :P hehe
I'm hitting the sidequests since they're optional. One of the GF Brothers has a red arm guard, but their overall color is purple.
It's not particularly related to bombs, Brothers, or any sidequest. :)
Gilgamesh?
Not Gilgamesh.
Fire element?
Nope.
(Hint)The "mistakes" can theoretically be corrected an infinite amount of times.
Using a junctioned magic, thus causing a stat to lower?
Negative.
anything to do with raising your seed level to A each time it falls down?
Nothing like that, but...
(Big hint)Correcting the mistakes is done via menus.
SeeD rank exams?
Nope.
Is it the explosives that you trigger in Lunatic Pandara to move the boulders?
No, nothing to do with the Lunatic Pandora.
The Limit Break gauge. The bar is red and once it starts filling up or "oversizing" it allows one to neutralize the enemies. It can also be accessed via the menu in battle.
There is no such thing as a limit break gauge in FF8. You may only do your limit break when your HP are 1/3 or lower than your max HP.Quote:

:-)
Nice thought, but that's not it.
ahh sorry, didnt read back far enough. lemme think :P
It wouldn't have anything to do with healing health, would it?
Afraid not. :)
the only thing i can think of correcting mistakes with menus is when you choose the instruments when you get the other half of your party from the missile base back >_> correctly choosing the instruments by reloading if you get it wrong... man this is a real stab in the dark XD
Nope, nothing to do with loading or progress bars. I'll give you another hint soon. :]
when you help the timber owls take president deling hostage. you could re-enter all the codes to do all that funky stuff with the carts and president deling's cart was red?
curing status effects?
Not curing status effects or anything to do with the train mission.

Hmm, could it be a red Guardian Force, which lets you do things, of which it'd have been a mistake not to do it earlier?
All I can think of here is Phoenix and Ifrit.
My guess is the following:
Mistakes of the past are letting party members die.
They are quickly neutralized by a Phoenix Down/Pinion.
The solution is amassed,
from one red oversized, yeah, Phoenix has a lot of'em.
It's not a GF, but the red oversized is something living.
Living organically or mechanically?
Organically.
It wouldn't be the Moomba would it, when you use the Friendship Item from Chocobo World, which lets you summon it in battle?
Nope! I might also say that the red oversized isn't the answer you're looking for, but rather the "solution".
Hmm, is the auditions for the musical sequence, where you can try out different instruments on the characters but only two combinations sound good.
Hmmm, is it Norg?
In the battle you have to keep hitting the pods to keep them blue-
Mistakes of the past - not hitting the pods to keep them blue
are quickly neutralised - by attacking them
The solution amassed
from one red oversized -the big red pod
he is organic (inside) and it is done via menus (battle system)
is it the GF, Carbuncle?
None right so far, but nice thinking with NORG. The menus I referred to in my earlier hint aren't battle menus though, but rather one of the menus you can access via the triangle button outside battles.
Uhm,
Using a Phoenix Down to revive a dead player.
Mistakes of the past - letting them die
Are quickly neutralised - quick to do
The solution amassed
from one red oversized - Phoenix Downs are in fact large down feathers from a Phoenix
Is it the seeD exams that you can take from the menu, as with missions you can decrease your rank if you perform badly?
Neither. Remember that the "mistakes" are only mistakes if you consider them as such! Letting a party member die is definitely a mistake except in very specific circumstances, and I don't think your SeeD rank dropping is ever anything else than a mistake.
Right another guess on this toughie riddle.
Mistakes of the past - Incorrectly naming a GF
are quickly neutralised - By using a rename card
The solution amassed - by refining the Catoblebas card into one Rename card
from one red oversized - Catoblepas card
Correct! ;] Your go.
Excellent riddle man, that was a tough one ;)
Ok, mine's probably much easier, here goes:
Not everyone wishes to see me,
I tend to move around,
My name is only cosmetic,
But I can quite easily be found.
Creep?
Nope.Quote:

4. Self-explanatory.
The Card Queen's name would be purely cosmetic based on how she is not a very good player at all. :) I think you've got it.
For real? I always thought she was hard; of course, I'm an awful card-player. ;)Quote:

Yup! You got it.Quote:

gilgamesh
When your fighting Seifer in the lunatic pandora, if you have unlocked Odin... odin will come and try slash Seifer but Seifer will own Odin and Gilgamesh will get Odin's sword which becomes his 4th. If you then dont defeat Seifer after a certain amount of time, Gilgamesh will come and defeat him for you.
Is it even your turn to post one? >_>
bingo
and yes it was, just read back a little.
aha fair enough. im no good at thinking up riddles. someone go ahead.

The Anacondour that you fight on the way up to Dollet Tower?

Oh I forgot about this :P
Nope and no.
Though Choco Boy is getting warm.
Not sure if it's been guessed yet, Timber Maniacs?
Girl Next Door?

I will serve you only if you aren't

In the giant pillar, your enemy
will 'reverse' me, but don't be afraid.
For another will serve you now,
even though he's maybe bad.
Odin! When you're in Centra Ruins, you have to choose between getting him or "the green", i.e. Tonberry King (lines 1 and 2). Seifer "reverses" Odin's attack which defeats him (line 3 and 4). He's replaced by Gilgamesh (line 5 and 6).
Thought it was too easy^^
Well, now it's your turn once again.
I'll just quote myself then. xD

Even if you do, you will not beat me.
Too many pricks, too many cuts,
though each one doesn't do much.
Who am I?
Cactuars? Referring to their high evasion and escape rate, and line three and four being about 1000 Needles.
Along those lines, Jumbo Cactaur?
BG got it, Jumbo fits better cause you have to catch him on world map to verse him. Too easy.
Thanks. :)
Not once but twice
Way to psyche us out!

Of jaundiced craft
"Jaundiced craft" makes me think of Selphie and her work with the Garden Festival. Is it the concert for Squall?
Ultima and Omega Weapon?
Nope.Quote:

Not the Iguions.
Is it the galbadian soldiers? I'm not sure, if the names are the same in the english version...
Biggs and Wedge?
It's not Biggs and Wedge.
The "Familiar face" twins at Fisherman's Horizon?
Nope, but keep the guesses coming.
Repost:

The Oilboyles.
How about the missile base mission? The "way to psyche us out" line makes me think of the soldiers confronting you, making you think you've been caught when in fact they're just disciplining you for running on the catwalk or some such.
What's the record for most posts in a thread?
Nope.Quote:

And since only Squall and Seifer are the only two practitioners to wield it, it can be thought of as a 'jaundiced craft'.
It's not the gunblades.
We will become the most active thread ever. :colbert:
The Iguons or w/e their names were you fought at the end of disc one before Edea.
It's still not the Iguions.
The scene where Laguna talked to Julia in the bar
No, but you guess is the closest so far.
The last Esthar-soldier enemy in the 2nd Laguna dream possibly reducing Kiros' and Ward's HP to 1?
How about Laguna losing that old key twice in the Lunatic Pandora? :D
Nope.Quote:

Don't take me for some gardening tool
It's all part of my masquerade
And though I set you on the path
I won't teach any tricks o' trade
Is it the CC group Spade?
Yeah. xD The logic should be obvious enough.
Mainly I just couldn't think of a character named 'Hoe'. :p
I just want to say I liked that riddle immensely xD
Excuse me! When did I say this thread could die? Oh wait, I didn't. RIDDLES NOW!
The cleaved cruciform awaits
In a very subjective way
Seifer?
Good guess, but no.
squall as he is being electrocuted and interogated, it is in a subjective way because seifer thinks he know's more
Nope.
Time Compression?
Not time compression.
adel
Not Adel.
Cruciform- cross shaped, crossQuote:

laguna, as in he is split between the ladies of his life/ a life of peace and a calling to war?
Nothing to do with Laguna.
are you sure?
Pretty sure. :greenie:
seifer waiting to fight squall at some point in the game maybe? o.o
Still not Seifer.
Grendel? It uses a cross-slash attack.........
Not Grendels.
zantetsuken... need spell check
Nope.
The fallen oak edea,
the answer could be....
...
death
Fallen Oak Edea?
At any rate, it's not death.
Adel when Rinoa frees her in outer space?
