Okay well how about just the Final Fantasy game itself?

I am the End -- "Final" Fantasy
I am the beginning -- But also not Final, as in it was the first one of the series!
Into the future my children -- And tons more games in the series were made,
are born unceasing -- And are still being made.

Excellent! I knew it wasn't that hard. 31 points and the riddle.

WOO! I was almost hesitant to answer because of the Garland one. Good job on not saying "close". I would have been tempted to say so. :P

Okay here goes:



Aberrant Logic is what I follow;
As I swim through rivers, lakes, and oceans;
Always towards a goal, always against enemies;
But the stupid thing is is that I can fly.

I suppose I'm bound by a snake's honor;
I must stay out of the air when fighting.
But just how silly is it when I could save abductees?
Instead I spin in circles fending off UFOs.

A Boring Cartel is not what I fight,
(with the exception of the other vehicles,
whose motors are hardly competitive,
and whose guns take forever to reload)

Indeed, "boring" is not how I would describe:
giant monsters, turrets, cyclones, UFOs,
mines, homing missiles, jets, oh my!
But when I reach the finish line, I leap with great excitement!

Micro Machines?

Aberrant Logic is what I follow; - Video game logic always is.
As I swim through rivers, lakes, and oceans; - Some races are between marine vehicles.
Always towards a goal, always against enemies; - It's a racing game.
But the stupid thing is is that I can fly. - Some races are between aerial vehicles.

I suppose I'm bound by a snake's honor; (part of the next)
I must stay out of the air when fighting. - The only fighting vehicles are land/seabound.
But just how silly is it when I could save abductees? - This one's got me.
Instead I spin in circles fending off UFOs. - Same here.

A Boring Cartel is not what I fight, (see next)
(with the exception of the other vehicles, - One of the possible races is between 'warriors': pimped out and weaponized-by-gangs cars.
whose motors are hardly competitive, - Their power is balanced by their slowness.
and whose guns take forever to reload) - You can't shoot very often.

Indeed, "boring" is not how I would describe: - It's pretty fun.
giant monsters, turrets, cyclones, UFOs, - Except for the UFOs, all are included in the game.
mines, homing missiles, jets, oh my! - All are in the game. (Except that the missiles don't home.)
But when I reach the finish line, I leap with great excitement! - vehicles do a sort of victory dance after victory.

Sorry I was on vacation totally forgot. :(

Cobra Triangle

Aberrant Logic is what I follow; - This game doesn't make much sense. Also "Abberant Logic" is an anagram of the game's title.
As I swim through rivers, lakes, and oceans; - You control a boat that goes through rivers lakes and oceans.
Always towards a goal, always against enemies; - All of the levels are either a race or fighting other boaters/monsters/UFOs
But the stupid thing is is that I can fly. - At the end of every level, a helicopter blade pops out of the boat and you fly away. wtf.

I suppose I'm bound by a snake's honor; - Allusion to the title.
I must stay out of the air when fighting. - The only reason I could think of why you wouldn't fly everywhere is some sort of honor.
But just how silly is it when I could save abductees? - UFOs try to abduct swimmers,
Instead I spin in circles fending off UFOs. - and the best way to fight them off is to spin in circles firing at them.

A Boring Cartel is not what I fight, - The game is quite fun; not boring. Also "A Boring Cartel" is, again, an anagram of the game's title.
(with the exception of the other vehicles, - Seriously the other boaters are just ridiculous.
whose motors are hardly competitive, - Soooooo sloooooooooooow
and whose guns take forever to reload) - PYEW...................................................................PYEW.............. etc

Indeed, "boring" is not how I would describe: - Well then, why isn't it boring?
giant monsters, turrets, cyclones, UFOs,
mines, homing missiles, jets, oh my! - Of, that's why.
But when I reach the finish line, I leap with great excitement! - At the end of the racing levels, for some God forsaken reason, the boat launches into the air and spins. The more spins you get, the further you go, and the more points you get.

Damn. I used to love that game, too.

You get 31 points and the riddle.

Okeydoke. I'll try to make this a little easier!

Thrust onto a strange place,
My goal is to explore, and purge, and discover.
Often my paths are blocked, but I blast my way through, sometimes with ease.
Even with a lot of thoughts, I won't be stopped.

Bomberman?


Thrust onto a strange place, It's a very strange place indeed
My goal is to explore, and purge, and discover. Your job is to exterminate all monsters and find the next level
Often my paths are blocked, but I blast my way through, sometimes with ease. There are many obstacles in your way, but you destroy them with bombs. Sometimes it is difficult to target the bombs
Even with a lot of thoughts, I won't be stopped. There are many creative enemies.

Raz Aquato, from Psychonauts

Thrust onto a strange place, well a mind is a strange place
My goal is to explore, and purge, and discover. It's an action jump n run
Often my paths are blocked, but I blast my way through, sometimes with ease. cobwebs and stuff that block your path
Even with a lot of thoughts, I won't be stopped. thoughts, as in, what's in your head, the enemies.

My guess is Samus Aran of Metroid.

Thrust onto a strange place, It takes place on an alien planet.
My goal is to explore, and purge, and discover. The goal of Samus' mission.
Often my paths are blocked, but I blast my way through, sometimes with ease. Doors are opened by firing at them.
Even with a lot of thoughts, I won't be stopped. Why she was there was a bit of a mystery as I remember it, but that might just be me.
