FF7 Riddles From Zero

[Bubba]

Oh, my dearest love
The secret things you've been hiding
Lost in memories, but still so close
If I look, will I find you?
If I find you, will I lose you?

I think Miss Boobs said it wasn't a person. It does smack of the Lifestream event though with "Lost in memories" and "Secrets you've been hiding".

Though if not... is it the secret cinema section involving Zack in the basement of the Shinra mansion?

[Jiro]

Oh, I didn't even see that hint. Hmm.

[Jinx]

No to all.


Hint: The riddle is from Cloud's perspective.

[Jiro]

Cloud's dearest love could be anything. It could be his memories themselves. Or his sanity. That voice in his head.

[Bubba]

Hmm... it's hard to imagine that Cloud's "dearest love" wouldn't be a person. Unless he has an extreme liking for his hair or something.

The secret things you've been hiding

There are lots of "secret" and "hidden" things in this game. Cait Sith hides the fact that he's a spy but he's hardly Cloud's dearest love (unless he 's weirder than we thought).

Is it maybe the White Materia? It is hidden that Aeris has used it and prayed for Holy. Plus, it reminds Cloud of Aeris "lost in memory"

Actually, that's pretty thin. I don't think it's that.

I've no idea. The riddle seems a bit too vague unless I'm missing something really obvious which I probably am.

[Jinx]

He's speaking to someone, but the answer isn't a person.

[Shaibana]

is it Midgar?

[Palom Porom]

I'm not sure about the 'dearest love' part, but the rest sounds a lot like Cloud on the brink of finding out who he actually is.
Basically schizophrenic, his secrets are hidden from his own mind. While he knows a memory but it's altered so he puts himself in another's shoes. So close yet so far. But by 'finding you' while meaning himself, he will lose what he knew so well about himself.

So that's my answer - Cloud talking to his consciousness. ? - My first post by the way.

[Jiro]

Perhaps the Buster Sword then!

[Palom Porom]

Buster Sword....I think you might have it! As if I looked way way too deep into that one. Buster Sword makes so much sense and also way more simple than the whole conciouss thing.

[Jiro]

Tifa's Boobs did say talking to someone, though. I'm not so sure now. Jenova? The voice in his head? This is confusing.

[Jinx]

The first key is to figure out who he's talking to. It's relatively simple and straightforward.

[Bubba]

I assume he's talking to Tifa?

[Jinx]

I assume he's talking to Tifa?

Correct.

[Bubba]

Um, I dunno...

The letter Cloud finds in her room?
