[Despotus]

Anyone want to post another riddle? Or should we let this thread rest in peace? :ghost:

Absolutely not!

Agreed. Here, here. *SECONDS THE MOTION WITH A RAISED HAND*

The desire to go home
A rule needing to be broken
But one last chance
For true freedom
The kind where you don't have to look over your shoulder.

A poorly worded riddle, and quite easy, but keeps the thread alive.

Perhaps it refers to the Nanten deserters at Grog Hill? They wanted to go home because they were tired of the war, and they thought that by killing Ramza they might get a pardon. Thought I'd stop by and say howdy folks! Hope you're all well!

[BG-57]

Ah yes, I wasn't thinking about the little people in the game.

[Despotus]

Well, Feion? Shall I riddle you?

[feioncastor]

Despotus is correct!

I long for your riddling. To be riddled by Despotus is indeed a great honor. I only hope that I shall be able to rise to the riddle and venture a guess that is at least something close to the answer you're looking for.

[Despotus]

I hope this one satisfies and satiates your longing, Feion!


A leading night with lots of wind,
seen at the start but absent throughout,
although I've only seen battle once,
my power is often heard on the battlefield.


You've been riddled...

[BG-57]

I'm inclinded to guess this is a one-battle character, so I'll go with Ovelia, who appears in the opening of the game, but gets kidnapped. Her MBarrier skill is very handy.

[Despotus]

No, sorry, it's not Ovelia. She is rather prominent throughout the game in spite of, or argueably because of her kidnapping; but the answer to the riddle truely is "absent throughout" most of the game.

[dodhungry]

well my first guess would be Zalbag. After thinking about it it didnt quite seem right but alas im going to stick with my gut feeling. He is only seen a few times at the begining but after that he only appears in a couple of scenes.

There is only 1 battle that he fights as a guest.

And supposidly he is a ledgend on the battle field.

[BG-57]

Teta perhaps? She wasn't a fighter but appears in one battle. And her name casts a shadow over the rest of the story.

[conan]

Could it be.....Shiva the summon?

[Despotus]

All very good guesses, but unfortunately no one has gotten it yet. BG was really close, but Teta doesn't satisfy the first line of the riddle. Conan, shiva is often heard on the battlefield and has a long wind, but I can't think of other ways it fits the riddle. And Dod, Zalbag was a great warrior but he's been in many battles and we see him often throughout the game.

Hint: The riddle may make a little more sense when you read it aloud.

[BG-57]

I sense a pun here (night=knight). Since I'm close, I'm going to guess a Knight involved in the same battle, Golagros. He talks pretty big, but to no avail, to either himself of his hostage.

On a side note, he reminds me of Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs; overly talkative in tense situations.

[Despotus]

Getting closer, BG... you're right about the pun (night=knight), but it's not Golagros.

[BG-57]

Gustav then?

[feioncastor]

Gaff Gafgarion, maybe?

You see him at the beginning, and dies and isn't seen again. But you do see his powers a lot once you get Orlandu. Also, he's a Dark Knight, or a "Night".

The "absent throughout" might refer to how you see him at the beginning of the game but never again through chapter 1.
