FF6 Riddles !

[Wolf Kanno]

Its something tangible and you don't talk to it.

[Hollycat]

...... the esper in the mountains?

[Vermachtnis]

Alexander

[Hollycat]

jumbo cactuar

[mikuel]

ODIN!

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope.

The last line in the riddle is not about FFVI.

[mikuel]

gilgamesh?

[Wolf Kanno]

Nope but he does make cameos in a lot of SE games.

[Jiro]

Well the amnesic soldier is has to be Cloud. What does he have that's better? A bigger sword, or materia, something along those lines.

So, is it magicite? It's tangible and you don't talk to it (unless you're technical and count Ramuh speaking after transformation). Oh and it's power from within, y'know. You get magic spells from the magicite etc etc.

repost?

No, but you're on the right track. The third line will be important and I should stress that it matters which version of VI you played to get some of the hints.

power from within, guides strength's fate
forsaken beast, from warriors fête
rarely seen, causes broken dreams
amnesic soldier, has the better one it seems...

Mentioning the versions would narrow it down if I was willing to go research, but I'm not Instead I will make lame attempts at guessing whilst providing terrible reasoning.

I think the broken dreams line refers to some sort of game error as a result of a monster, a la MissingNo. I can't think of any in the game, but I'm sure somebody will be aware of it (if I'm even right).

[Wolf Kanno]

Part of it references the Woosely script the other references the GBA script. It's not a missing monster nor is it an esper. Also, you are correct about the last line being a reference to Cloud Jiro. Just know the riddle in question works differently in both games.

[Jiro]

I cannot for the life of me find a comparison between the two scripts. I would love to nail this riddle and give you the perfect justification but I don't think I'll be able to.

However while googling I saw a key word Midgardsormr so perhaps that is related in some way. xD

[Wolf Kanno]

I'll just give the answer. Its the weapon Organyx

power from within, guides strength's fate

Its a weapon that consumes MP to give critical hits

forsaken beast, from warriors fête

The weapon can be acquired from the Coliseum and the second part is a reference to the fact the weapon is called the Ogre Nix in the Woosely script.

rarely seen, causes broken dreams

Its an uncommon weapon, and it can break in battle.

amnesic soldier, has the better one it seems...

Cloud has a sword called Organics but the Japanese spelling makes these the same weapon. Zidanes Ogre is apparently named after this weapon as well. I say its better cause its more common and doesn't break.
