    Pretty much so, Heero, except for this:
    Mayhaps, in clearer light
    and in array
    my true self will come forth,
    as I am in all.
    (One you find out the answer to all lines, the true answer will be revealed.)
    It won't be revealed directly, but you'll be half finished with the riddle.

    The riddle:
    Myself,
    The victim of the preceptor,
    Avoidance,
    The dilatory assassin,
    The daedal burg,
    and The red saviour

    Am I all? No.
    Am I some? No.

    Mayhaps, in clearer light
    and in array
    my true self will come forth,
    as I am in all.

    I am the beginning.


    Wrong guesses:
    Cid
    Eden
    Ellone
    GeroGero
    Gilgamesh
    Ifrit
    NORG
    Rinoa
    Ultimecia

    Clock puzzle in Ultimecia's castle
    First disk
    Junctioning system
    Junk shops
    Obel Lake quest
    Squall's love/process of discovering love
    Time compression
    Side quests
    Machines

    Deep Sea Research Centre
    Esthar's shield
    Lunatic Pandora
    Moon


    Hints:
    The answer is not a major part of the game (i.e. main characters, time compression etc.)
    The answer is not an enemy.
    The answer is not abstract (no feeling, mood, event or process for example).
    The answer is not related to Triple Triad.
    The answer is not a machine.

    The later part directly refers to the earlier part.
    The second, third and fourth paragraphs all give clues about how to solve the first paragraph. The first one is possible to solve without their help, but easier with.
    Try to put the first paragraph in other words.
    The answer has little to no ties to any story or plot at all. It is involved in a process, though.
    The first six lines are not a description of the answer's attributes or surroundings, but rather a list of individual "things" that can lead you to the answer.
    The riddle is much more trivial than it may seem. There is little to no metaphorical speaking.
    One of the remaining lines looks for an enemy, another line simply looks for a synonym.

    "Myself" refers to the answer.
    "The victim of the preceptor" refers to X-ATM092.
    "The daedal burg" refers to Esthar.
    "The red saviour" refers to Ragnarok.
    "Am I all? No. Am I some? No." refers to the paragraph before: The answer is neither one of the above nor all of them. The answer is rather given by solving the first six lines, and "processing them" according to what the rest of the riddle says.
