No, but oooooh, I like some of this! Fire and Ice magic is pretty sweet (though that's not what it refers to). "The first option will die" is referring back to line 1. I would say with the last line, that while pulling mako from the planet may turn it into a corpse-shell of sorts, the line refers to getting the power from something that is already a corpse-shell. Unless you mean cause the crust of the earth is where all corpses are buried--aw snap. But, that's not what it's about. :/

someone solve this so I can sleep tonight.

I am thinking of Bahaumut, because you can have both Bahaumut and Neo-Bahaumut when you are about to escape "by land" via rope and then you find Bahaumut Zero's materia when you are in the rocket. He is unconscious when you find him on the land, but have hope when you deliver his materia to Nanaki's grandfather and obtain his materia. He is "sometimes chilling, but usually warm". If you don't collect Bahaumut Zero from the rocket, you can't go back to get it. This is just my guess, it might not be right though, but it makes me think of Bahaumut.

Is it Sephy?

I also thought maybe it was Midgar...

Is it cait sith?

The last line doesnt make sense to me. But here's what I got. Doom splits the time between before and after the awakening of meteor's summoning. The only thing that I can definitely remember is the changing of the map theme. Pre-meteor's theme is one of the many variations of the main theme. After the failure of destroying meteor, it changes the map theme, BUT you can still access the awesome tune via Highwind.
The two times you escape that I remember is when Tifa escaped from Scarlet from the bitchslap fight which introduces Cid's Highwind variation of the theme. If you ever want to leave or "escape" the northern crater, there's a rope outside the cave exit, and the rope ladder to the airship theme WOOOT! And the third time while regaining hope is after Cloud's unconscious state. He reclaims his title his leader over Cid in the airship with the inspirational theme played once again.
The chilling and warming part absolutely made no sense to me. And this is the reason I thought of the theme in the first place. Because when it doesn't make sense it probably is an analogy. Chilling and warming is major and minor keys, or the player's mood at the time.
The last two lines are of no help to me at all and throws my whole answer off. lol. I dunno. Uhhh The Key of Ancients, plays a music box of divine power so it hints that the first six lines have to do with music. LOL

Jit's got it! The main theme motif. Bonus points to whoever figures out what the last two lines mean! The Key to the ancients plays a music box, but the music isn't the main theme. ******** You've got the first two lines spot on, and Tifa's Highwind escape. The other rope escape I had in mind was the scene where they're climbing down a rope when leaving Midgar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mX9Nj8JcQw&feature=fvwrel#t=06m24s Also it plays after the Sector 7 tower collapse (but Barret calls the metal rope a "wire" so I guess I can't count that): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvy7AO3K34Y&feature=channel_video_title#t=08m50s "while unconscious and regaining hope" actually does mean while: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO19wu9y0o4&feature=channel_video_title#t=02m08s Chilling and warm, spot on--refers to the mood of the music. ***** Floor's yours, jit! When I solved your other riddle I was afraid you'd be right on track to get this one. I thought this one would go much, much longer. Poetic justice, I suppose. You don't know how hard it was for other people I've told it to--Lines 7 and 8 were actually the key for them to be able to get it! Cause they didn't have music on the mind already.

wow. i was actually right lol? You gotta tell us what lines 7 and 8 are because I don't see how a dead shell has to do with the main theme lol. probably another analogy. DAMN YOU and your analogies... I'll be cooking another riddle right up.

I'm sure someone will get it. :D

Most snails have dexterous shells!

Pretty happy with this one I made up. As usual FF7.

if you want to find me then use the next statement as a map but dont believe it all because its mostly full of crap -------------north of condor------------------------ ------------enter bone village--------------------- ---------down a mountain of havoc-------------- ------------look at your menu---------------------- -----------only inaccurate data------------------- ----go outside and backtrack to find us------ when you figure that out then identify me i come in a group one specific multiple of 3 i have a nice view and noone bothers me but the truth is I'm a slave shackled near a tree

When you say north of condor do you mean fort condor?

Aw, I was just kidding ;-)
