Thingfish's Riddle

[Lenna]

I didn't get much sleep last night TF. This cold was getting the better of me ;_;

[Thingfish]

Sorry to hear that, hon

[Sir Bahamut]

A question: Can I solve one real world reference at a time, and then fit them all in with eachother, or is it crucial to do them all at the same time, so to speak?

All tears and woe be in our presence past

Within our presence, all sadness is over?

This sentence is really annoying. It's so simply worded, yet it seems to resist all attempts at being solved. Have any of my attempts been even close yet?

[Thingfish]

Yes, you can solve separate real-world references and fit them together.

The simplistic translation of that line is indeed 'In our presence, all sadness is over', but you know well enough that there are hidden meanings in the line too

[Sir Bahamut]

Hm, this is tough. Can't find anything immediate relating that line to Hamlet. Maybe I should be looking elsewhere?

[Thingfish]

Gwahaha You can keep looking here too.

new game + is even more fun. just wait awhile.

as for the riddle i'm still clueless and almost too lazy to even try. lol. infact, i haven't played ffix in a long time so i have no chance of figuring out this riddle unless i play it again

[friscodude]

Well not to get off topic, but i dont think ill be replaying it for awhile, seeing as I got the good ending (using the chrono Cross at the end) first time thru

I experienced a similar problem. I couldn't enter Treno from the outside or exit from the inside (two different save points), and the vital bit in Treno couldn't be played. Playing IX on my PS2 worked fine.

[Thingfish]

Ah, my ploy to infect all of your save games so you can't get to the necessary bit worked then!

Mwahaha!

Yep thats the spot...but I AM playing on a PS2 so I guess its a faulty disc

What www.poets.com had to say about your riddle:

This poems has so much truth... and it is very good .. i am impressed. i have heard a lot of poems but yet this one you have pored your heart into. good job.... i give props to you .. keep it up. - jellybeanhst

This a very detailed and thougth provoking poem- It made me wake up and say Wow! Excellent work on the riddle. A - LyndaVaughn

The poem was wonderful and had plenty of thought.You must have spent a great deal of time working on it. I would say it was worth the time! - LustMeOrLoveMe

That was some damn good wording there. very good job that was just an amazing poem very well written cant give 6 stars but 5 i shall. - musicmansg03

Oh, boy. I had to read it through several times and still
did not get it. I'm glad I'm not the only one. This is quite
the masterpiece I agree. I am anxious to know what it
really means if your friend ever decided to reveal the
secret! - mary mouse

The way you approcahed this was interesting Very well written. Good choice of words. It showed a lot of feeling. Keep writing! - lucypaloma

A Mind Bender for sure. What comes to my mind as I read this is'Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." So I'm not going to spend a lot of time deciphering your riddle. ON the upside, this is full of great old words and I can see you love resurrecting vintage vocabulary. - Lore11

[Thingfish]

I'm flattered, Mercen-X, thanks for letting them see it!

I notice they say 'You'. Did you post it as yourself?

Do you have the link to your posting of it?

As you can see, at least one person paid attention to my disclaimer that "my friend, Thingfish" was the author. But I figure the rest of those quote can apply to "you" as well.
