This is the way!
You score two points.

The FFVII creature was transliterated as Gighee in English, but the Japanese is essentially 'Ziggy'. AKA Ziggy Stardust. AKA David Bowie!

Gighee wears stars on his waistcoat and also has a star within him (the soul of Bowie). His tail is a guitar.


Here is the complete Limerick Eleven.
When spied some may yell “Giddy!”
While transliterated poorly, we can’t be picky
On him and within him he carries a star
Jamming good, he plays guitar
His melodic neigh cries “I am Ziggy!”.

Bonus: Anyone can complete this bonus to win a single point. Simply post in this thread before the contest ends.

I have added all of the bonus threads in the first post for ease of access (listed under 'Previous Limericks'. These remain accessible until the end of this game, so if anybody would like to earn extra points in order to give themselves a boost then there are plenty of options to choose from.


Linnaete won a bonus point I forgot to award last round.


Here is line one for Limerick Twelve.

Limerick Twelve.
There was a place of solitude
 
Here is line two for Limerick Twelve. The max score is now four points.

Limerick Twelve.
There was a place of solitude
Its owner was in a foul mood.
 
Matoya's Cave?

Though I guess she has sentient brooms with her so it's not entirely lonely, but she's a cranky old woman in both FFI and FFXIV - especially the former as some dark elf has somehow managed to steal the crystal eye that allows her to see.
 
I suppose I'm gonna guess Quan/Quan's Dwelling from FFIX :hmm: I'd assume he was in a foul mood because he was hangry.

If lucky, you’ll be swept by a talking broom
Else be admonished for falling to your doom
And returning from the Lifestream nude!

Bit of a clumsy limerick, I'll admit. It refers to FFXIV's Matoya specifically, and that might make some sense to people who have played Heavensward.

Twelve is a nice, Christmassy number. This completes this game! You can still score some point for the next day by posting in any of the various threads. This will be your last chance! Tomorrow the winners will be announced.

Final Fantasy VIII - Is This the Equivalent to Marmite Within The Series?

Hi Ladies & Gents, As the years go on I still have strong opinions on the FF series, as a whole - Most notably my acceptance of there being a Golden Years period which for me is between VI-X. Within that of course is Final Fantasy VIII, which unlike the rest within the time frame seems to be...

Tantarian

Aloha! Remember this guy? In case you've forgotten, or are unfamiliar, Tantarian is an optional Boss that you fight in the Alexandrian Castle Library that you have two difference chances of confronting during the game that you've got a limited amount of time to beat. Interestingly, sticking to...

Who is your favourite FFXIV NPC?

After a long absence I have recently been playing FFXIV again and have resumed the main storyline (post-ARR and close to accessing Heavensward content). I’ve only just started to appreciate some of the FFXIV characters again. Who is your favourite? Do you have a particular individual you are...

A horror themed Final Fantasy?

By horror themes I of course mean tropes typically associated with horror, not that the game is trying to scare players. So scare factor is irrelevant here, only the themes matter. Let's get started. So looking back on Final Fantasy VII, you can notice it uses a bunch of horror tropes. The cave...

Favourite extinct animal?

Do you have a favourite animal which is now extinct? I'm thinking prehistoric, but you can include recently extinct animals if you like too. This was originally going to be a favourite dinosaur thread, but I figured some people might like to also include animals such as flying reptiles...

Final Fantasy XVI General Discussion Thread

Sometimes I often have little questiosns that don't always warrant a full thread, so I thought I'd introduce a place here to discuss any little thoughts or questions anyone may have regarding Final Fantasy XVI :) The biggest thought on my mind is how much of a surprise that Final Fantasy XVI...

Zombie Butts!

(I challenge someone to create a better clickbait title this week - I'll give out a prize!) Think about Bartz Klauser (AKA Butz). He’s the adventure-loving primary protagonist of FFV, has a very close relationship with his chocobo, is an aspiring piano player, and he loves to goof about. He...

What are some great life-lessons you learned from a Final Fantasy game?

What are some great life-lessons you learned from a Final Fantasy game? First, allow me to quote the great Fyodor Dostoevsky... At first, art imitates life. Then life will imitate art. Then life will find its very existence from the arts. There are realms in human phenomena that science is...

Swish-swish-aroo! Decluttering your inventory.

So I have a bit of a problem on FFXIV and I can't be the first and only. My armoury is filling up, as is my inventory. Until recently my retainers were also completely full of junk and they still need quite a thorough clean-out. Due to a lack of time I only really play the story at the moment...
