FF8 Riddles

[G SpOtZ]

I'm just gonna throw out a not-very-well-thought-out answer...

One of the prisoners in the Desert Prison? Alone, dark, card player, battle meter, and all that junk that the guy gives might be clues for the riddle. Anyway, that's my guess.

[IceAngel]

If your are right well done I was vague a while ago and said 'Desert Prison' but you might have got it...

[Doomie]

Unfortunately not.

BIG HUGE ULTIMO HINT: Two lines of the riddle (Numbers 3 and 4) refer to things in real life. Well, four much more then three, but three still has a little bit to do with the real world.

[G SpOtZ]

I'm having trouble interpreting the rudolph part...

EDIT: Something to do with the Alexander card, that the guy up in the space station has. Anything in that direction?

Shielded from the light, -- Space, darkness.
As the evil and despair builds up, -- Adel
I can taste the victory. -- She gets closer to achieving freedom.

Find me near the Puny Castle, - Alexander Card
Joining Rudolph in the pit of loneliness. - Piet gets lost after the whole space incident.

[Doomie]

Nope.

Hint for the Rudolph line: Think of the song.

[G SpOtZ]

Rudolph... hmmm... he has a unique talent to him, he was made fun of for being unique, so he was left out, then finally he was accepted because his talent became of use. That's a summary. Still not feelin it though.

[IceAngel]

Well then I'm guessing its something to do with Rinoa

[Eiko Guy]

rudolph the rednese reindeer had a very shiny nose blah blah blah blah blah blah blah you could even say it glows does it have to do with that weird glowing light in deep sea research center bahamut
i can taste victory could mean because mega flare comes from his mouth and 1 megaflare is enough to kill most ppl so it tastes like victory

[Doomie]

Nope. It actually refers to one specific line to the song.

[G SpOtZ]

=\

The Ragnarok.

[Moerae]

another random guess... the headmaster of galbadia garden? he mopes around mayor dobie's house, which could be called a puny castle.

[Rantz]

Nope. It actually refers to one specific line to the song.

To be honest, I never actually heard the song. But, these are the lyrics I found:

You know Dasher and Dancer
And Prancer and Vixen,
Comet and Cupid
And Donner and Blitzen,
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright,
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee:
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,
You'll go down in history!

Hope you don't mind me posting them.
"They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games" - This sound like the most fitting line for the riddle to refer to. However, I could be wrong. It could also be something with the names in the beginning. Blitzen, for example, has a name very similar to the monster Blitz. Not sure where I'm going here.

[BG-57]

Donner and Blitzen mean thunder and lightning in German, respectively.

[Eiko Guy]

shielded from light could mean shielded from the reindeer person

[Laugh at face of Danger]

Reindeer games, ie some form of racing, perhaps? This leads me to the Grand Chocobo Haven in the Grand Forest
