FFX riddles

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

just taking bits form all over here. you say he had the right conclusion in that u had to fight geosgeno before u cud get it. is it onion knight by any chance?

also wondering whether the other masamune ur talking about could be braska's final aeon's sword?

[Mjazi]

What was the answer to the second riddle?

[thegirth]

Unique tool of death takes two steps;
Take Olympic blade from sportsman's hand,
Masamune, mercury, and shotgun come later and younger.

repost

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

are the masamune and mercury referring to the sword and the crest/sigil?

[Firo Volondé]

I might as well give a hint at this point; neither masamune nor mercury refer to their FFX counterparts.

[BG-57]

Is 'later and younger' a reference to FFX-2?

Doesn't one of YRP wield Auron's sword in one of their dresspheres?

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

yes rikkus dark knight dressphere uses the masamune, and in ffx the mercury crest/sigil is in terms of rikku. are we getting ther firo?

[Firo Volondé]

neither masamune nor mercury refer to their FFX counterparts.

Some more hints for the last line:
Masamune is to do with another game made by Squaresoft. (as in before it became Squenix.)
Mercury is to do with chemistry.
Shotgun is to do with what kind of people use a shotgun.
'Later but younger' refers to at a later period of the game (compared to the second line), but with a younger person.

Also, BG was on the right track before with the second line.

The Customise menu? It comes up when Rikku joins the party, and she appears relatively late, as well as being the apparent youngest of the cast. It sounds like you're referring to weapons that can be made by means of customisation... hrmm.

Could "Mercury" be "Liquid Steel"? I know they're both different metals but mercury's a metal that

Shotgun might mean "Hunter's Sword", unless there's a hidden "Passenger Seat" armour I've not heard of.

Wait, I think I got it: Brotherhood. Liquid Steel and Hunter's Sword have Waterstrike and Sensor respectively, both of which that weapon automatically gains upon meeting Rikku. It's also a unique weapon, a unique tool of death.

I've completely missed out everything to do with Masamune, which only tells me I'm bang wrong and talking a load of twaddle.

[Firo Volondé]

Sorry, but you're wrong (SPOILER)about talking a load of twaddle. Correct.

Unique tool of death - one in the game, is a sword (AKA tool of death)
Takes two steps; - two events to get Brotherhood fully powered
Take Olympic blade from sportsman's hand - you obtain the sword itself from Wakka (a sportsman); at this point it only has Strength +5% on it, making it the equivalent of a Fencing Saber
Masamune - Strength +10%, when you customise this onto a sword it becomes Soldier's Sword, which could be used as a description of FF7 Masamune
Mercury - Waterstrike, found on the sword Liquid Steel. Mercury is a metal that is in a liquid state at room temperature.
Shotgun - Used for hunting. Hunter's Sword is produced by Sensor.
Later and younger - These abilities are added to the sword later, not after meeting Rikku, but after the scene in the Farplane when Wakka talks to Chappu (his younger brother).

Your go Psi.

Specially cheapened to a Herculean cost
Though weaker, the purpose remains the same
May lead some to believe it was all but lost
Yet Kimahri remembers its former name


Alright, technically there's two answers to this, both of which are linked: the first three lines lead to one answer, the last line leads to the other. Once you get one answer, the other one will most likely flash into your head right away.

[Timster]

is it omega/ultima weapons?

[ReloadPsi]

Nope, not them.

[d£v!l'$ ph0£n!x]

i want to say it has somethng to do with reducing o'aka's prices at mushroom rock (you can reduce them but they are still ridiculously high)
can't think of how any of his product solve the rest of the riddle. am i on the right lines psi or do u wanna just go and dash my hopes

[ReloadPsi]

Sorry, your hopes are hereby dashed.
