Continuing from our previous home; the return of the riddle thread.

Here is the last unanswered riddle from FFO:

mayofmay (on FFO) said:

Not a long one, but should be fun.

We can travel across water, without getting wet;
You can switch us around, with one regret;
The Horizon is down, so stay on your toes;
Call on the ring, no one shall oppose.

Invincible from FFIX?

Airship crosses water in the air
You can switch characters, except Zidane
Mist has covered the whole world once you get the Invincible, covering the horizing
I think there's a teleportation ring inside the ship, or maybe that's refering to the eye

Good reasoning, but it is not the Invincible.

The Gardens from FFVIII? When in mobile-mode they float over the water, and the Horizon bit could refer to Fisherman's Horizon or the Horizon Bridge. Also, the big rotating ring on the underside.

That is more on the right track, but it is not the Gardens.

It has been more than a week since the last guess, so here's a hint: the correct answer encompasses four different things that all fit in one category.

We can travel across water, without getting wet;
You can switch us around, with one regret;
The Horizon is down, so stay on your toes;
Call on the ring, no one shall oppose.

Incorrect guesses:
Invincible (FFIX)
Gardens (FFVIII)
Special Chocobo Types (FFVII)

I really like that train of thought, but it is not the Special Chocobo Types (FFVII).

Alright, another week without any guesses, here is another hint.

One of the lines refer to a summoned entity (which, by itself, is not the answer to the puzzle).

We can travel across water, without getting wet;
You can switch us around, with one regret;
The Horizon is down, so stay on your toes;
Call on the ring, no one shall oppose.

Incorrect guesses:
Invincible (FFIX)
Gardens (FFVIII)
Special Chocobo Types (FFVII)

I'm going to guess Trains in FFVIII.

We can travel across water, without getting wet;
> The Horizon Bridge crosses the great ocean in the middle of the world
You can switch us around, with one regret;
> Refers to the train-switching mission in order to capture the President, except the "regret" is that the President is an impostor
The Horizon is down, so stay on your toes;
> The Horizon bridge is disused, so putting a train on it would be pretty silly
Call on the ring, no one shall oppose.
> The Doomtrain GF is acquired by "calling on" the Solomon Ring.

Am I right? I hope not because I suck at thinking of riddles. :P

As luck would have it, you actually are correct. The Trains of FFVIII are the correct answers.

My explanation:
We can travel across water, without getting wet;
-I was actually referring to the train from Balamb to Timber, as it travels through an underwater tunnel
You can switch us around, with one regret;
-Zo is completely right about this line.
The Horizon is down, so stay on your toes;
-The line from the Galbadian Continent through Fisherman's Horizon to Esthar is down (possibly [or presumably, I don't remember] since Laguna shut Esthar away from the rest of the world), "stay on your toes" is a reference to having to cross the bridge on foot.
Call on the ring, no one shall oppose.
-Again Zo is right on with this one. I chose "no one shall oppose" not just due to Doomtrain being one of the better GFs in the game, but also due to its ability to inflict the Vit 0 status, which eliminates all physical defense (in essence, 'removing all opposition' to damage)

So......Zo would be up next, if Zo so chooses.

Luck nothing :P but I can't think of one of my own. If anyone's got one, feel free.
