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

Should I give a hint? EDIT: Musenji has asked me to re-post the riddle on the second page, and this is my top-most post. Future denizens of the Riddle Thread can do likewise, when they have a riddle going.
Final Fantasy VI Thump, thump, thump, thump! No need to worry If my back were broken I'd recover in no timePagination, be slain!

Nah, but you can wait your turn because it's Link Strife's turn :) loljk, im guessing this is a monster or am I just completely wrong and it's some weird metaphors for something random object like Figaro Castle for example hope it doesn't have to do with the end because i never beaten the game :(

Well, no one else gave an actual riddle since Musenji said it was open to whoever said one first, so I was assuming it was still okay :-)

Technically it's LS's turn but as LS hasn't said "hey it's my turn!" I assume it's cool? One thought is that "thump thump thump thump" is an event, which would make one worry, but nothing's gone wrong, and even if it did go wrong the thing would end up fine. It kinda makes me think it's a character because characters in games tend to not get permanently injured--for example how Link can fall 200 feet in Ocarina of Time and only lose one heart. The thumping also makes me think of Suplex, Mog's dancing, or maybe an enemy lore. (None of these are guesses, mind you--just thinking out loud. :D)

It's no metaphor; it also isn't something that happens in battle.

Ok, seriously now. I never played FF 6, but isn't this referring to those robots they're riding in the very beginning of the game? They go like "thump, thump" while marching trough the snow fields, and no matter what you break you can probably repair it.

Awww... Well, no idea then... :P Btw, I made up a good one for FF 10, it even rhymes, but I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to post it now, since yours still hasn't been nailed.

I wish I had played FFIV, but I was a mere toddler at the time.
