uh wrong thread mate...just make ur own before u ask

[Squall_VIII]

Is it Esthars Shield/Cloak?

Myself,
The victim of the preceptor, (odine or squall when he opens the door to esthar?
Avoidance, (esthar avoiding the world
The dilatory assassin, (refers to ultimecia?
The daedal burg, (esthar the ingenious fortified city
and The red saviour (the ragnarok

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

Mayhap, in clearer light (maybe at the right time/in clearer light
and in array (at the correct order or action
my true self will come forth, (reveal esthar
as I am in all. (In its whole entirety

I am the beginning. (The entrance to the city

[Cledarius]

So here's my second guess

How 'bout Squall's love?

Myself, (he doesn't love himself)
The victim of the preceptor, (Quistis loves squall but he doesn't)
Avoidance, (Squall thinks he don't need love)
The dilatory assassin, (Love becomes more and more important to squall)
The daedal burg, (don't know bout this one)
and The red saviour (Squall need Ragnarok to save all)

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

Mayhaps, in clearer light ( a long time it isn't clear if squall loves rinoa)
and in array ( squall needs the perfect moment)
my true self will come forth, (then he knows he loves her)
as I am in all. (Love's in everyone of us)

I am the beginning. ( Riiiiight. Is needed to make babies)

It's Squalls process discovering love?

Wait....what am i writing?

Wait.....ok...maybe love is not right but the answer is something like that???

[Rantz]

It's neither Esthar's Shield nor Squall's love/process of discovering love.

Wait.....ok...maybe love is not right but the answer is something like that???

Nope, the answer is not abstract (no feeling, mood, event or process for example).

It seems that you are still trying to solve the riddle as a whole. Remember, because it's IMPORTANT: The later part directly refers to the earlier part.

[Timster]

Alright I've got to break this down because it feels like were drifting further away from the answer.

Myself,
The victim of the preceptor,
Avoidance,
The dilatory assassin, someone (or something), but not Irvine
The daedal burg, a place or something though it's VERY obvious, maybe Lunatic Pandora?
and The red saviour the ragnarok

Am I all? No.
Am I some? No. These 2 lines probably mean that the answer is not all of the things that are described above and not one or 2 either.

Mayhaps, in clearer light
and in array
my true self will come forth,
as I am in all. doesn't this part mean that we might have to simplify the first paragraph. by that I mean that we might want to translate it into easier words or something.

I am the beginning. I still don't know what this means...

This is how much I understand from all the hints but I have no idea what to guess or if I've even understood the hints correctly.

Kinda hoping that Rantzien might tell me if at least I've interpreted the hints correctly, then maybe someone can come up with the answer...

(BTW this isn't a guess, I was just wondering if I misunderstood something)

[ReloadPsi]

Could it be... the Junction system? Probably not as it doesn't involve a daedal burg or the Ragnarok.

[snakebyte91]

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.

so it gives clues on HOW to solve the riddle its not actual CLUES to solve it?

Am I all? No.
Am I some? No.(so the answer is in a pair or something?

Myself,(squall or a main character
The victim of the preceptor,(another character, maybe rinoa
Avoidance,(possibly esthar or squall avoiding people
The dilatory assassin,(ok its not irvine but probably a character
The daedal burg,(esthar again or maybe lunatic pandora
and The red saviour(the ragnarock



Mayhaps, in clearer light(in a different place or chain of events something could be more clearer...maybe a different time?
and in array(in the right order
my true self will come forth,(again another character or as squall viii said esthar
as I am in all.(in all of everybody...could be magic i suppose...or something else
I am the beginning.(could refer to the beggining of the game or could refer to lagunas story

tell me if i got ANY of this right or if my interpretation is right...and my second guess will be...i dunno yet ill edit it in later

[Timster]

Due to my previously posted reasoning, I've decided to add a guess:

The Obel Lake Quest(you know the lake next to Timber... with Mr. Monkey and all that...)

[ReloadPsi]

Due to my previously posted reasoning, I've decided to add a guess:

The Obel Lake Quest(you know the lake next to Timber... with Mr. Monkey and all that...)

I had been thinking this, but I've no idea what's there to back it up.

So, my next guess: Junk Shops?

[BG-57]

I have a hunch it may be related to Triple Triad.

[snakebyte91]

and in array (in the right order

does this mean we have to change the order of the first paragraph?

[Rantz]

My god you people are productive at writing replies

The dilatory assassin someone (or something), but not Irvine - Correct
The daedal burg, a place or something though it's VERY obvious, maybe Lunatic Pandora? - Incorrect (Not the Lunatic Pandora)
and The red saviour the ragnarok - Correct

Am I all? No.
Am I some? No. These 2 lines probably mean that the answer is not all of the things that are described above and not one or 2 either. - Correct

Mayhaps, in clearer light
and in array
my true self will come forth,
as I am in all. doesn't this part mean that we might have to simplify the first paragraph. by that I mean that we might want to translate it into easier words or something. - Correct (You've got an important point right here!)

Could it be... the Junction system? Probably not as it doesn't involve a daedal burg or the Ragnarok.

Nope, not the Junction system. Actually, I would classify the Junction system as abstract.

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.

so it gives clues on HOW to solve the riddle its not actual CLUES to solve it? - Correct

Am I all? No.
Am I some? No.(so the answer is in a pair or something? - Incorrect (This has been correctly described before)

Myself,(squall or a main character - Incorrect (This line simply refers to the answer. Not much help, except to figure out what the first paragraph is about)
The victim of the preceptor,(another character, maybe rinoa - Incorrect (This does not refer to a character. It translates to "who/what got killed by the preceptor")
Avoidance,(possibly esthar or squall avoiding people - Incorrect (Think gameplay)
The dilatory assassin,(ok its not irvine but probably a character - Incorrect (Not a playable/non-playable character)
The daedal burg,(esthar again or maybe lunatic pandora - Correct (Esthar)
and The red saviour(the ragnarock - Correct

Mayhaps, in clearer light(in a different place or chain of events something could be more clearer...maybe a different time? - Incorrect ("Something could be clearer" is accurate though )
and in array(in the right order - Correct
my true self will come forth,(again another character or as squall viii said esthar - Incorrect (The meaning of this is simpler)
as I am in all.(in all of everybody...could be magic i suppose...or something else - Incorrect (We'll get to this later)
I am the beginning.(could refer to the beggining of the game or could refer to lagunas story - Incorrect (Same here)

The Obel Lake Quest

Nope, sorry.

Junk Shops?

Nope, not Junk shops.

I have a hunch it may be related to Triple Triad.

Not the slightest bit

and in array (in the right order
does this mean we have to change the order of the first paragraph?

No, the first paragraph is in the order it should be.

Oh, and Psi, you're actually only allowed one guess at a time (you'll have to wait for your guess to be verified/rejected before you post another). Reasoning is OK to post as much as you'd like, though.

[thegirth]

im rethinking what i said, you have created the greatest riddle ever

[Timster]

Rantzien are you sure that YOU know the answer
