Treno eh?
if that's the case Kain ex, then how does love come into it? A city wouldn't wait for love. The only one you could really match up with that theory is Madain Sari. It used to be the city of summoners, but only Eiko is left. No one else to build it back to normal.
I'll figure it out later...
Update with new hint (as a reply to kain_ex)

anticipating twilight's end

Hints / other notes
Find the 'me'
No direct connections to EoFF forums
No direct connections to Terra
Analyze the sentences rather than the words
The riddle is very much literal
Only one word is strictly metaphorical
The second verse is sort of "linked to" something from the first
Try to connect the verses
The answer is not a main character
The answer is not crucial to the main storyline
The riddle does not bear any references to, nor is the answer itself, any specific city or location in the game.

The answer is not an enemy

I think the metaphorical word is sickness.
That's correct, good guessOriginally Posted by Pure Quin14
However, don't get stuck on searching for metaphors to the word. Just keep that as a reminder when you make a guess or reasoning.
I thought so because I read and re-read the riddle and it just didn't click. So ha, it wasn't a guess
Waiting here So the "me" is waiting...
anticipating twilight's end ...for the end of something...
in hope of finding love ...hoping to find love...
fighting sickness ...can't think of anything for the sickness part.
Void was my brawl; ...when I think void I think empty. But it could mean that the brawl was useless or lacking. So perhaps the "me" talked the talk, but didn't walk the walk, that kinda thing.
it drenched me. ...the "me" got wet. By the way it's written, it got wet by the thing it was fighting.
I already knew that.Originally Posted by Pure Quin14
wait, the answer is definately a monster!
Nope, it's not Atomos.
So the "me" fought something that would get it wet? Or just got owned by something that could get it wet.
Hades or the Excalibur 2.
I may be giving out too much, but yes, sort of. In a way.Originally Posted by Pure Quin14
Not Hades or Excalibur II.
see that doesn't necessarily make sense. The "me" that fought something, would have to be a normal character. Which it isn't. As you can't determine which attack is going to kill the monster etc. So it can't be a monster/inbattle enemy as there is only 1 boss that is weak to water, (if it's fought it has to be a boss as normal enemies aren't "waiting"). It has to be something like rain or water. So what has water.
Burmecia: Rain
Leviathan: His attacks
Pinnacle Rocks: The Pond
The scene where Brahne dies, the boat sinks into the water after being destroyed by Bahamut.
Water Shrine
Or the ice in the ice cavern could be classed as water, because that's the source.
I feel like Burmecia is the place. Every soldier there is fighting for Burmecia, Sickness could be the Black Mages as they are dangerous and evil. It's raining constantly in Burmecia.
It could be Kal, the soldier injured. He is waiting there as he is unable to move, trying to encourage his wife to go and leave him so she and his unborn children will be safe.
Or the moogle in the Ice cavern iced up by the Black Waltz. He was waiting there to be released, hoping for someone to help him (the love/care) He probably said/did something to annoy the waltz, so maybe that was his brawl? He was a cheeky moogle the sickness could metaphorically be the entrapment he's in, trying to break loose.
I'll figure it out later...
Kal and Mois are wrong although they are great answers (especially Mois).
Two things: Your definition of a fight is too restricted , and the word sickness is not the usual kind of metaphor and can't really be worked out. It's more of use as a piece of puzzle to fit in your guess. :rolleyes2
The fight could be an emotional thing then, and the drenching could be tears. I just can't think of any examples.
Waiting here Waiting
anticipating twilight's end For the end of something
in hope of finding love Hopes for love
fighting sickness Could mean insane I guess. But the only thing that would fit for it all would be Kuja, and we already know that's not true.
Void was my brawl; The answer is weak(?)
it drenched me. Got wet.
I think it might have something to do with Garnet, but I just can't think what. And I don't mean that in a "Garnet is the answer" way, but the answer is in some way related to Garnet.
