More FF9 Riddles

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Am I allowed to create this? If there is already one up. Please tell me. Anyway....

This thread is for riddles and maybe cryptic statements. The following rules for this thread are:

1. No disrespect please, if you wish to be rude or to have an argument please do so by the forum's Mognet system.
2. All riddlers may incorporate hints into their riddles.
3. All forum members who guess at the current riddle's answer may only guess one answer at a time. The riddler in question has a 7 day period after their riddle has been solved to give their reasoning.
4. All riddlers must state what kind of answer they are looking for.
5. All riddlers must state which universe their answer lies.
6. There is only one riddle at at time. This will avoid confusion in the long run.
7. Reposting the riddle in it's original form will help everyone. Not just the one who reposts the riddle.
8. Every verse or stanza must have 2 lines at the least, no less. Especially if you wish to give a cryptic statement.
9. All riddles must be separated from the rest of the text by a ruler or a bar or some sort. And for everyone, please edit your post if you wish to say more, as double posting may not be allowed at all and in the long run will prevent confusion as to what is being said.
10. If the solver of a riddle does not post a new riddle in approximately 7 days since solving the riddle, that solver give up the chance to post the new riddle. The 7 day wait allows for the last riddler to give their own reasons for the riddle and will allow for everyone to be happier in the long run. The riddle solver may also pass it on to someone - either with a statement along the lines I give the floor to {member name}. or by stating that they do not wish to give a riddle.

All of the Administrators viewing this, please wait and talk amongst yourselves - you may however move this to a more appropriate location.

Edit: Took deleted two sentences from the listed number 3. Here are the two sentences I took out: Also everyone must give their reasons for that particular guess or else it will be ignored. Giving the reasons for the answer will allow for the riddler to give hints in response, similarly giving the reasons for the riddle will allow for other riddlers to try a new tactic.

The riddle thread has been dead for almost half a year because nobody wanted to try and solve my riddle.

here it is in case you want to try.

Once I was there,
That was long ago.
The first thing I will do
Is find it yet a again.

Wait lets explore,
And strive to find.
A soul, a stone,
And a reflection of my home.

It feels so close.
But never quite the same.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

What is it you are looking for?

I'll take my riddle down.

Edit: Could you send me the link to the last FF9 riddle thread?

Edit 2: Is it Zidane as a child?

Once I was there, --> see the next line.
That was long ago. --> His birthhome Terra.
The first thing I will do --> see the next line.
Is find it yet a again. --> The blue light that he remembers.

Wait lets explore, --> Not certain.
And strive to find. --> Not certain.
A soul, a stone, --> The Gnomes.
And a reflection of my home. --> Not certain.

It feels so close. -->
But never quite the same. --> I don't know.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Mikoto? Reasoning should be pretty obvious, if not then I'm too lazy to type it out, lol. And welcome Shinwa Tsuki.

[qwertysaur]

Both answers are incorrect. I can't say exactly the category the answer is in but it is something that everybody who has played this game will encounter.

A clue is that each stanza of the riddle is important. I'll give a bigger clue after you try again. I made this riddle to be very hard yet very easy.

Last riddle thread is right here.

Also incorrect guesses to this riddle, most are taken from the old thread
Vivi's visit to Quan's Dwelling
Garnet at the summoner village (forgot the name atm)
Zidane returning to Terra
Zidane
Oeilvert
Mount Gulug
Pandemonium
The stone faces in Oeilvert
The projector on the bridge thing that showed terra and bran bal?
Zidane as a child
Mikoto
Hints from the old thread:
The stone references the Gulug stone
Oeilvert is close but still wrong
it might or might not have anything to do with the castle with the four seals

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Thanks for the link! So it's on the Forgotten Continent then? Asuming that the answer is connected to Terra.

I'm going to wager this: Ipsen's Castle. I do have another guess having to do with Terra but little reasoning to go with it, I will state it if this one is incorrect. The reasoning:

Once I was there, --> see the next line.
That was long ago. --> The story of Ipsen that Zidane tells to Dagger.
The first thing I will do --> see the next line.
Is find it yet a again. --> Not certain.

Wait lets explore, --> Not certain.
And strive to find. --> Not certain.
A soul, a stone, --> The Gnomes.
And a reflection of my home. --> Not certain.

It feels so close. --> Not certain.
But never quite the same. --> I don't know.

Also, the summoner village is named マダイン・サリ Madain Sari in Japan which means that it is named Madain Sari over here in the USA.

[qwertysaur]

Not Ipsen's castle.

Try to think with more than just your eyes.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

So it's a sound of some sort? Related to Terra or the Lost Continent?

[qwertysaur]

Yes it is somehing you can hear.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Is it linked with Terra or with the Lost Continent?

[qwertysaur]

Yes.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

Which one?

Edit: So far we have gathered that is
...linked with Terra or with the Lost Continent.
...it's a sound of some sort.

And the hints from the old thread:
* The stone references the Gulug stone.
* Oeilvert is close but still wrong.
* it might or might not have anything to do with the castle with the four seals.

Is it Kuja's theme?

[Rantz]

The music piece "Oeilvert"?

Once I was there,
That was long ago.
The first thing I will do
Is find it yet a again.

"A Place to Call Home", whose melody this piece shares.

Wait lets explore,
And strive to find.
A soul, a stone,
And a reflection of my home.

Finding the Gulug stone and the holograms of Terra. Not sure if the soul refers to the stone or something else.

It feels so close.
But never quite the same.

It's almost the same as "A Place to Call Home", but played with different instruments.

[Shinwa Tsuki]

I like that idea. I think that the soul would have to refer to Ark for some reason, that's my guess.

[qwertysaur]

Rantzien is very close, but not quite there.
