Final fantasy 8 riddles

[Sword]

When you say they are subjective, does that mean they are also optional mistakes, or are they tied to the story?

[Rantz]

They are optional mistakes, i.e. they could very well be avoided to begin with.

[seiferalmasy2]

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.

[Rantz]

Good guess, but no. The Ragnarok isn't involved.

[Jiro]

The Garden's defence from the missile attack or something like that I dunno

Mistakes of the past
are quickly neutralised
The solution amassed
from one red oversized

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!

[Rantz]

Sorry, nope. These mistakes aren't quite as severe!

[Medi]

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.

[Rantz]

Nothing right, sorry.

[BG-57]

Doomtrain? His status ailments can turn the tide in a hard battle.

[Rantz]

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)

[Rantz]

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.

[seiferalmasy2]

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

[Rantz]

Nope, it's not Galbadia Garden being referred to. The mistakes would be more on the player's behalf.

[seiferalmasy2]

hmmmm how about getting all the GF back in 1 place at ultimecias castle, even if you missed them?
