the dagger

[Rantz]

Not the dagger, sorry!

*hc cries, he cant remember anything from that game, even though he is currently playing it*
((SPOILER)again, by the way, the whole gilgamesh quest is a waste of time)

[Quindiana Jones]

Argentous danger makes me think of the conflict with the Silver Dragons, in which case the answer could be a Hilda Garde.

There I am, at a distance
in the calm after perilous chase - Invincible heads towards the portal, silver dragons fly out, then Cid appears all armoured and that.

There I come, to assistance
the argenteous danger to face - Aiding in the battle against (potentially) silver things. DIE SILVER THINGS, DIE!

Spoken of with filial pride
when yearned for man returned - The Hilda Garde 1 or 2 was Cid's greatest airship. It's a loose link, but damnit I'll stand by it for the sake of my incorrect answer!
Spoken of no more; I hide
in dual infinity turned - *shrug* It's the third one that becomes the best one, so nobody gives a toss about the first and second?

[Rantz]

It's not the Hilda Garde, but - aside from being much closer in general - you are right that "argenteous danger" refers to the silver dragons. The first two lines refer to another event, though.

I forgot I had a riddle here xD

[Shinwa Tsuki]

The Red Rose?

[Rantz]

Not the Red Rose.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Something that relates to the silver dragon, something which has two forms - the first form is only seen twice.... Hey Rantzien, would you give us a list of the hints you've given so far?

[Hollycat]

.... can I has a hint

[Sid_Highland]

i'm thinking the lifa tree (you visit it twice) and the silver dragon is there at least on of the time...

if not... for the last like dual infinity turned, could it possibly be a math referance, meaning something to do with the number 88 (two infinity signs turned a 1/4 turn?

[Sid_Highland]

extendid train of thought:
There I am, at a distance
in the calm after perilous chase - coming to the recently decesed queen Brahne (garnets addopted mother) after being chased down the tree by mistidons.

There I come, to assistance
the argenteous danger to face - The party tryes to go and assist the queen who was attacked by kuja on his silver dragon, turning brahne's summon against her.

Spoken of with filial pride
when yearned for man returned - Dagger (dispite everything the queen did to her) speaks of the good traits she had, possibly wished her father was still alive.

Spoken of no more; I hide
in dual infinity turned - the queen is not mentioned again... and this is where i have no guess.

[Rantz]

Ha, I didn't expect anyone to get the "dual infinity turned" part, but like Sid_Highland guessed it does refer to 88.
It's not the Iifa Tree or anything related to Queen Brahne. And sure, here are the hints I've given so far - and a new hint, in bold.




Not an item
Nothing living
"Filial pride" refers to a child proud of their parent, though neither part is the answer itself.
The answer exists in two forms. Only the last line (and partly the line before it) mentions the second form.
The first form is seen at two points in the game, no more, no less. These are on different disks.
The second form is seen as many or few times as you like.
The first two lines refer to the first time the answer can be seen in its first form. The following two lines refer to the only other time.
"Argenteous danger" refers to the Silver Dragons swarming out from the portal to Memoria.
"Dual infinity turned" is a rotten way of saying "88".

[G13]

Does it have something to do with ships using Mist engines? It kind of makes sense in the first stanza, but I'm not sure how that would work into the second.

88 makes me think of the Black Mages using numbers as names.

[Jiro]

I haven't read all of the guesses but is it South Gate? You see it once on Disk 1, once on Disk 2 (this is the airship South Gate) and then the second form of South Gate is the foot one which you can see multiple times. Or something, I'm drawing from memory here. (Even though Steiner and Dagger cross on foot at the beginning of Disk 2...)

[Rantz]

No to all of that, but in a way you could say South Gate is indirectly involved in one line. Wouldn't try to go on it, but it may be a hint!
