FFT Riddles

[conan]

Since it's mostly me and BG-57 in this thread, I'm going to post some ideas here to help someone else along, and maybe they can finish it up.

I'm thinking it has something to do with (SPOILER)the jobs, and unlocking an ability....like, gain 2 levels as a knight, 3 as a monk, 1 as a geomancer, 4 as something else....unlocks a job, then maybe gain 5 levels in that job to unlock an ability... but hey, I could be way off here.

The Murond Death City.

In Chapter 3 we first visit the Underground Book Storage of Orbonne Monastery, but we only see levels 2, 3, and 1 sequentially. Later at the end of Chapter 4, we return to the Orbonne Monastery and visit Book Storage levels 4 and 5 and Kletian unlocks the gate to Murond. I'd better start thinking of a new riddle...

[conan]

Very nice. So much for my hint....

[BG-57]

Despotus is correct!

Your go.

[Despotus]

Four twos
To Action's call
Vampiric drain

Four fours
The heavens fall
The mage's bane

Beyond my grasp these lie
The riddle I ask, who am I?

[conan]

Come on Feion, you can get this one! I'm going to let you solve it.

Edit:
....Nope, I've decided I'll take a stab at it. Vampiric Drain is Life Drain from the Oracle, heaven's fall, is Meteor from the Time Mage. The reflect spell is the answer. Neither of these spells can be reflected....

Do I win?

[Despotus]

You've solved two lines of the riddle, conan, congratulations! However, the lines "four twos, to action's call, four fours," and "the mage's bane" are very important elements to solving this riddle. Keep breaking it down; you'll get it!

Where the heck is "Mycroft" anyway?

[Chocobo Chuck]

Does this have anything to do with Jobs. If so, is the Answer: Bard?

[Despotus]

Yes indeed it does have to do with a job, but not Bard.

[Chocobo Chuck]

ok the Four Twos would refer to the Squire and the Chemist being second level to make Archer, Knight, Black Mage and White Mage.

The Four Fours would refer to Lancer, Geomancer, Meditator and Summoner being level four to make one of the posibble answers

Mime>>?
-

[Despotus]

Good guesses. But, the four twos and fours lie beyond this character's grasp. The mime only needs lvl 8 in Chemist and Squire, and so I don't see the connection there. Conan already helped you guys along a little by guessing correctly two lines of the riddle. Take another look at his last post.

[Chocobo Chuck]

Could the "Mage's Bane" be the Rune Sword/Blade (I forgot! )

[Despotus]

I should say not! The Rune Blade, with its +2 to MA, is really helpful to users of magic. A bane is a detriment, a curse, a really sucky thing that causes you to constantly suffer... for mages in this case.

[Chocobo Chuck]

I always though a Bane was a Sword oh wellll....

Hmm... Defence? or Physical Attack Power?

[Despotus]

nope
