FFIX Riddles v2.0

[Rantz]

It's not the Chocobo Air Garden.

The answers are related to a mini-game, though not necessarily to playing it.

Come to us, in times of leisure
Don't be blinded by the treasure
Maximising your potential
thrice from seven, quite sequential.

Found by the nimrod that arrived
In home of minds which us contrived
then headed linearly forth
four times, though still far from the north.

Come to us, in times of leisure
Don't be blinded by the treasure - I haven't got the foggiest what this means. The only thing I can think of is that this tells us that it's a mini-game, and we should take the chance to play it instead of blasting through the story.
Maximising your potential
thrice from seven, quite sequential. - Do something four times? "Maximising your potential"...could be the Treno Monster battles, as there's 4 and they're usually a bit harder than you are.

Found by the nimrod that arrived
In home of minds which us contrived Nimrod = skilled hunter. The owner is a master hunter I think, I forget.
then headed linearly forth
four times, though still far from the north. Ack. [/intelligence and understanding]

So that's my guess. The Treno Monsters.

[Rantz]

The only thing you've got right is the nimrod = hunter part.

Thrice from seven does not refer to subtraction. The latter part of that line should hint what to do with the numbers.

[Quindiana Jones]

I was actually doing addition.

Yeah, that's what I thought it could be too. But I chose to ignore that for the sake of Treno Monsters making sense.

[Rantz]

Hint: The answer is easy to miss when playing.

[Quindiana Jones]

Oh, easy to miss in FF9? Well, that narrows it down. :rolleyes2

[Rantz]

I.e. not story-related.

[Cleric]

Is it one of those coffee key item things?? I miss those a lot

[Rantz]

It's not any of the Coffee.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

Is it the Chocobo Hot & Cold? The nimrod sounds like the moogle who discovered the place. :3

Also glad this thread is still going. X3

[Rantz]

Nope, it's not, sorry.

The second line of the second stanza is probably your biggest lead at the moment, in terms of narrowing down what the answers are.

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

In home of minds which us contrived...does this refer to the Terrans?

[capricious]

My guesses:
Dageurro
Or it could be Fossil Roo
Or the moogle stuck in Fossil Roo. LOL.
Or feeding the moogle with kupo nut 7 times.. But I don't think it is.
Or is it the hidden item around Oeilvert..
Or Mognet Central, where you have to revisit 7 moogles giving a letter each around the world.

[Rantz]

Heh, you're only allowed one guess at a time, capricious. Still, I will say that none of those are right. That does not refer to the Terrans, Heero.

Remember that the answers are a group of something. One line tells you the size of the group and the "identities" of the group "members" within a bigger group.

[capricious]

Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, I was wrong anyway. XD

I'm guessing it has something to do with tantalus? Since there's Zidane, Baku, Blank, Marcus, Cinna and those 2 twins, in total there's 7 people. So something to do with tantalus, theatre or thief band. Lol..

I'll just guess tantalus.
