Mythril?You need it to get Great Gospel right?Gospel means something like divine,I'm sure about this.

[-N-]

Time to make a post on what I'm thinking.

I've been puzzling over 'divine power' - could it be a limit break?
A shell made from an old corpse - pianos are made from ivory, which is found in the skeletons of whales or something. Guess where Final Heaven is found?

I don't think that fits with verse 1 very well - Great Gospel fits that better, for obvious reasons.

Neither of these fit well with verses 2 or 3 - except verse 3 alludes to different forms, and these L4 items do have different forms for different people.

This leads me to believe that the answer is "limit breaks" in general. Fits line 7 - you must be dexterous or skilled. Verse 2 is the anomaly here.

Skip if right, please - I'll be out for the weekend. Thanks for the PM and the opportunity to reminisce about the old thread, musenji.

edit: oh.

[musenji]

Sorry, Mythril's not the answer...you're thinking in the right way about the power, though.

EDIT: Neel, the power itself is not the answer; the answer is the narrator of the riddle. You're very close.

EDIT 2: Looks like Neel's gone, so whoever wants to shoot a barreled fish , please give as full of an explanation as you can.

this is hard. All Creation?

Find me by land, or much later by sky
When doom is at hand, the first option will die.
You can reach Wutai by Tiny Bronco but you must use Highwind to go for it after Meteor's summoned. that's weird cause you can arrive to these place with chocobo.

Twice I'm there when you've escaped via rope;
Once while unconscious and regaining hope.

Wutai is reachable when you escaped Shinra. About second line, I don't know anything cause Wutai does not related to Lifestream.

EDIT: Yuffie and Rikku look alike, you think?

It should be noted, I've more than one form--
Sometimes I'm chilling, but usually I'm warm.

Yuffie probably. Yuffie have good and bad expression. She's chilling sometimes but she's warm (I don't think she look warm).

If you are dextrous, then carry me well
To coax divine pow'r from an old corpse's shell.

This girl fast. You get a choice to get her into the party, if you get you can activate certain bad event. Old corpse's shell maybe is the pagoda? All Creation name look like divine name.

So ALL CREATION.

[Twilight Edge]

Very complete explanation.But I don't think that All Creation has anything to do with divine stuff.

[Dell]

I think All Creation name seems to have divine stuff in it.

[musenji]

Thank you for explaining, Vivi--but it's not the answer. Did you read my response to Neel With A Bat?

Regarding your explanation for line 3: the answer isn't just available after the two rope escapes, it's there. Not far away at all.

I believe you were right about one thing: All Creation is a "divine" power, at least in most religions. The ability to create all of existence is reserved for the divine, assuming that you believe existence was created. I don't remember the actual limit break's effects, but what matters in this riddle is the name of the power, not the contents.

[Dell]

I really can't think much, I have not play this game for a year, I don't know much now, so, can you give another hint?

Princess Guard?Venus Gospel?
is it related to Aeris?

[musenji]

Not related to Aeris...no more hints, but I'll send ya a pm.

Edit, 7 hours later: Wow! I really thought someone would've got it by now...Neel With A Bat was on the right track, very close to the answer. He just answered what the divine power was, instead of the narrator (read line 7 to figure out the narrator's relation to the divine power).

Is it Mythril? Before Meteor, you can get it from the sleeping man with the buggy, but after you have to use Highwind. The Dextrous armor shop maker can use the Mythril well, and he gives you Final Gospel when you trade it to him.

The second set of lines throws me off a little, but it could have to do with the other things you get from the sleeping man. Ice ring/Bolt ring right?

[musenji]

I'm surprised you saw the note about the limit break, but not the other "mythril" guess. So...it's been guessed already--not the right answer.

Still, nice thinking.

Yeah.. well I just looked at this thread for the first time today, so I only kinda skimmed everything ><

(EDIT: Think I figured it out though.

Is it the piano itself?

[musenji]

Not the piano--you're so close on the train of thought, though. Re-read lines 1-6, that might help.

[Masamune·1600]

I believe the answer is music, or more specifically the Highwind Theme.

Find me by land, or much later by sky
When doom is at hand, the first option will die.

After Meteor appears, the Highwind theme can only be heard while actually flying it. It could, however, be heard previously.

Twice I'm there when you've escaped via rope;
Once while unconscious and regaining hope.

It applies to these instances, that is the two rope escapes and the Lifestream incident.

It should be noted, I've more than one form--
Sometimes I'm chilling, but usually I'm warm.

The tone or form of the music can change. Usually, it's "warm."

If you are dextrous, then carry me well
To coax divine pow'r from an old corpse's shell.

Playing the piano (as previously revealed, the "old corpse's shell) skillfully (or at least accurately) will "coax" forth the divine power, Final Heaven.

wow masamune... thats some extreme logic there me and bro tried for 20 mins trying to figure out what it was and couldnt find out lol I think you got it
