FF7 Riddles From Zero

[edczxcvbnm]

Clearly the answer is Hades Materia!

[leader of mortals]

Swing and a miss XD

[Tigmafuzz]

Demanding god who rewards sacrifice. GAH IT'S ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE

[leader of mortals]

After a couple more guesses, I'll give another hint

[Bubba]

Who is this demanding god
Who rewards our unrealistic sacrifice?
Shall I conform to him,
Or shall I be forever weaker?

The second line makes me think of obtaining the Black Materia from the Temple of the Ancients. Where you are required to give up your life in order to receive it.

The last line kind of reminds me of Cait Sith where he's questioning his worth to the team as he was spy for Shinra all along.

I'm going to guess Cait Sith's death and the obtaining of the Black Materia at the Temple of the Ancients?

[leader of mortals]

Nope

I'll give the hint now

Hint2: The answer is not the god. Also, an important word is "rewards", however the answer is also not the reward.

[Karifean]

Jenova Cells?

[Jiro]

Is it summons in general? They're typically gods and the materia has a crapload of negative impacts on your stats iirc.

[leader of mortals]

Nope to both

[edczxcvbnm]

air etam

[edczxcvbnm]

So...what is the answer because no one is guessing anymore.

[Jiro]

I'll settle for some more hints.

[leader of mortals]

It's not the air etam, and I'll give another hint.

Hint3: The answer is the method of sacrifice.

[Jiro]

Is it equipping the 'special' weapons with no materia growth but high str? Like nailbat etc

[leader of mortals]

Nope. You're thinking of sacrifice in a wrong way, with that answer.
