FFT Riddles

[BG-57]

Yes, you're right Despotus: the answer is Limberry castle. Now stop jumping the gun! :shoot:

Is it Altima?

[feioncastor]

Despotus, this is BG's thread. If you don't start doing things his way, all your base will soon belong to him.

Is that what you want? Well? What you say, Despotus? What you say?

Oh, and that whole set up us the bomb thing too. Fit that in there some place.

Joke (SPOILER)::::::::Just messing around, so BG, don't think I'm mocking you or anything! Promise, I'm not

[Despotus]

No worry, all my base already belong BG! But unfortunately, not Altima.

First clue: Look closely at the numbers.

Second clue: Think about protection vs. status effects.

That is all.

[BG-57]

Wow, I'm stumped.

Is it Yin/Yang magic?

(SPOILER)Joke Spoiler: ::::::::Just messing around, so BG, don't think I'm mocking you or anything! Promise, I'm not

(SPOILER)I don't mind, although I am curious why you singled me out. Was it the whole Zero Wing thing?

[feioncastor]

(SPOILER)Yeah, the zero wing stuff is sort of your trademark, you know?

[Despotus]

Wow, I'm stumped.

Is it Yin/Yang magic?

Sorry, not Yin/Yang magic. Although, there is a Y/Y effect that is partly relevant to the answer, and a couple of Black Magic effects, and one nobody in the party can inflict. (theres another clue!) Have you taken a closer look at those 4 numbers? You guys are probably going to bang your heads against something harder than this riddle when someone gets the answer.

Is it Riovanes Castle? Draw Out skills?

[Despotus]

I fear not
The cold prison,
For I have 25 to break it's walls,
The insatiable thirst,
Another 26 shall quench it,
The wet skin,
I keep 28 for warm blood,
The invading agent,
29 serve as my guards.

Is it Riovanes Castle? Draw Out skills?

No, sorry. The 4 numbers are a big clue.
Status effects are involved, too. Fear not? Refers to protection from the status effects.
Oh yeah, and Shotgunnova already guessed one of the above mentioned stat. effects correctly.
Somebody's gotta be getting close to figuring this out!?! :evilking:

[BG-57]

Is it Elmdor? He fights the party in four different battles, in human and Zodiac Monster forms.

[Despotus]

Nooooo, but I'm going to give you folks your last clue. If nobody gets it in the next 24hrs., I'm just going to break down each part for you. I've changed the wording to (hopefully) make it a dead give away.:weep:

I fear not
The cold prison,
For I have 25 diamonds to break it's walls,
The insatiable thirst,
Another 26 saphires shall quench it,
The wet skin,
I keep 28 rubies for warm blood,
The invading agent,
29 emeralds serve as my guards.

[BG-57]

D'Oh!

108 Gems!

I didn't think to add the numbers together! I kept looking up where in the game those numbers appeared separately. Vertical heights, JP cost, MP cost, the order battles comes in, prices in Gil; I couldn't get anything to fit.

That riddle could have done Thingfish proud.

[Despotus]

That riddle could have done Thingfish proud.

Awww... thanks B, your turn! Now don't anybody go hurting themselves (or me) over that one.

As BG-57 said, 25+26+28+29= 108, the cold prison refers to the Zombie spell, insatiable thirst (as Shotgunnova guessed) was about Blood Suck, the cold skin/blood thing was Frog, and invading agent was for Poison. With 108 Gems I fear them not.

[BG-57]

The king is checkmated
The queen is captured
The bishop is sacrificed
For the knight's sake
The smallest pawn
Is still in play

Who are we?

[Despotus]

That's 5 people in all, right?

Here's a guess:
The checkmated king= the late King Omdoria
The captured queen= the imprisoned Queen Ruvelia
The sacrificed bishop= Simon gave his life to save...
The knight= Ramza
While the smallest pawn= Orinas is still in line for the crown

Maybe I got a couple of them? There are sooo many "knights" and "bishops" to choose from, this could be tough.

[feioncastor]

Sacrificed Bishop could also refer to the whole Funeral getting aced thing.
