Is the answer Tantulus Troupe as a hole?

[Quindiana Jones]

The Black Mages is my answer. Feel free to ask for reasons, I'm fairly lazy so can't be arsed to post them now

[Rantz]

Reasons are always good to read, but I'm not forcing it out of anyone. However most reasoning has something that I can respond to, hence getting you forward in the riddle

Not Tantalus or The Black Mages.

[Quindiana Jones]

I know, that's what I usually say, but my mind would've exploded had I tried.

[Rantz]

I know, that's what I usually say, but my mind would've exploded had I tried.

Your mind exploded long ago, there's nothing to save there.

Hint: The answer is not a living creature.

Bitch.

I reckon the second line means Lowell. He's angry about the Moogle Suit, and I can't think of anyone else with blue hair. (I haven't played FF9 in over a year )

Lindblum

[Ethanol Dreams]

I looked up "coiffure" on dictionary.com...

1. a style of arranging or combing the hair.
2. a head covering; headdress.

So could it mean the answer has a blue thing on top of it or something?

[Rantz]

The second line does not refer to Lowell Bridges.

Lindblum is wrong.

The answer does not have a blue thing on top, but what that line refers to does. The two first lines refers to two individual subjects that aren't the answer themselves, but have something to do with the answer as told by the riddle.

Try posting your interpretations of the riddle (i.e., other ways it could be written) and I'll guide you as best as I can, young Jedi.

[Ethanol Dreams]

This probably doesn't mean anything, but I looked up "verve" (in the last line) in a thesaurus and it came up with Flair and Elan (Elan with an accent above the E.) I think Elan is the name of Amarant's Flair skills when he's in Trance? Just found that interesting.
As for the riddle itself, is the first line a hint to a character? Brahne is blue, with red clothes.

I'm gonna guess The Red Rose, Brahne's airship.
1st line - Brahne.
2nd line - Lindblum? I think the castle has blue turret thingies, and the red could be the fire the mage cause?
3-4th lines - Not really sure...

[Rantz]

That's very interesting, but unfortunately Flair/Elan does neither have any connection to the answer nor are of any use for the riddle's solving.

The two first lines refer to characters, but neither refers to Brahne.

The Red Rose is wrong unfortunately.

Keep trying

Cleyra

[Rantz]

Nope. The answer is not a location.
