FF7 Riddles From Zero

[Sephex]

Gongaga village.

[Jinx]

If it's not Corel Town, I'm guessing Golden Saucer.

(I'm wondering if it's a person, place, thing, or an event. Although person seems really unlikely, and so does thing.)

[BG-57]

Gongaga village.

Not Gongaga.

If it's not Corel Town, I'm guessing Golden Saucer.

Not Gold Saucer either.

It's very much a place.

[Jinx]

Aw, man, I'm out. I can't wait to see the answer.

[Melissaur]

Northern Crater?

[BG-57]

Aw, man, I'm out. I can't wait to see the answer.

You could randomly get the answer by simple, albeit exhaustive, elimination.

Northern Crater?

Not the Northern Crater.

[Hollycat]

Would it be the face place in wutai?

[Shinwa Tsuki]

The Materia Cave which holds Knights of Round (I think that is the name), am I on target?

[Bubba]

High as you can go
An expansive vista
That you cannot see

Erm... I'm gonna have a potshot at the opening FMV footage of Midgar. The camera pulls back to show the whole of Midgar but your playable character (Cloud) can not see this as he's on that smelly train about to kick the arse out of a reactor.

Mertons behind you

As already stated, this is a reference to FFVI. Directly before this particular piece of FMV would have been the end of FFVI...

Hmmm... that sounds pretty thin now I think about it. Very thin, actually. I'll await BG's rejection post.

[BG-57]

Would it be the face place in wutai?

Still no.

The Materia Cave which holds Knights of Round (I think that is the name), am I on target?

No and no.

Sorry to confirm your suspicions, but it's not that either.

And Merton is not a reference to FFVI this time:

However, it means something else in the context of this riddle.

[Bubba]

I'm really struggling with the Merton reference unless its an anagram or something.

Merton is an anagram of mentor. Cloud's mentor I suppose would be Zack. Is it Zack's death scene at the top of that hill from which you can see an expansive vista? However, Cloud can only see the death of his friend and mentor.

[Jinx]

I googled Merton and came up with a place in Wyoming and two dead guys.

[Melissaur]

The reactor at the top of Mt Nibel?

[Bubba]

Wyoming and two dead guys.

FT, I think that might be it!

[Jiro]

Let me assure you that this is pretty representative of Wyoming.
