Riddles are really friggin fun. Verily!
The rules:
-
One riddle at a time. Whoever correctly guesses the riddle (and has the answer confirmed by the riddler) gets to post the next one. They have 48 hours to do so, then the floor is open. (They can also decline to post, and leave the floor open, but c'mon guys, give it a shot.)
-
The riddler gets to decide whether to give hints, and whether to answer questions. (i.e. It's not 20 questions folks.)
Something that has worked very well is for guessers to post the reasoning behind their guesses--which gives the riddler a chance to steer them along, in an organic fashion. And it keeps people from just randomly guessing.
-
Riddles are to be made based on Square Soft games (pre-2003) that were released in America. (The reason for this is to limit the field and keep it relatively accessible to all.)
-
If you are posting a riddle, pick one game to riddle about, and state it in your initial post.
So, the first riddle. It's from Final Fantasy VII:
I reside in darkness where evil’s enlightened
Mostly contorted, but sometimes I’m heightened
If you look around, you can tell I’ve been preying
Though when I appear, the guitarist keeps playing

Jit got it! Let me explain it: in order to get me, you'll need to use your claws. Cloud needs to grab the titan materia through a hole. I think there was even an option you had to select for Cloud to "reach in". Though it may be tedious and akward, to finally make me yours. I can see why this might have thrown you off, but I seriously struggle to get the materia, I'm always walking around the spot where I know it is hammering X, and it still takes me forever to get it. This small ordeal, could leave you seeing red, The "red" alludes to the red summon materia. but don't pound your PSX with rage, instead go to bed! Pounding the PSX with rage was a pretty subtle hint at Titan himself, how he is essentially one angry dude. If you do smash your console, into a thousand million bits, At least salvage something, from the junk you made of it. This bit related to Gongaga, the smashed console = the smashed reactor. The word "junk" is important because Scarlet appears with Tseng and says they can't salvage anything from the reactor, because you only get junky materia from a junky reactor. I tried to make it even more obvious in the epilogue riddle. This was the biggest clue because if you picked the location I figured there isnt much else there besides titan. All in all a pretty mean riddle :) Well played Jit.
