Square Soft riddles!

@musenji  - March 15, 2011, 4:06 a.m.

Riddles are really friggin fun. Verily!

The rules:

  1. 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.)

  2. 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.

  1. 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.)

  2. 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

The main character is named Fei, but that isn't who it is...

No...It is not a main character. I will say that the first "friend" lives in a sewer system...

It really is a good game, in my opinion. Takes a bit to get used to, but i think it's worth a look. Oh, and Frogma, if you are thinking of either Rico or Big Joe, then nope, that isn't it. A small hint(that could possibly give away the answer): The answer looks alot like one of his "friends", particularly the one who lives in the sewers.

Really? Hmmm...Nope. I would have thought there would be more people who played this game... I guess I just may have to follow Musenji's lead and clear the board...

I played the game 5 years ago and completely forgot its awesomeness. Was it Hammer? Hammer has to be one of them...?

I guess I better bring this to a close... GrimacingGrimoire said

here is a pretty simple one from Xenogears: MY FRIEND HAS A SON WHO LIVES WITH A PRIEST I LIVE ON A SHIP WHERE THE WELS ARE WEAK, ANOTHER OF MY FRIENDS HAS A HEALTHY ADDICTION TO ETHER BUT HE ACTS LIKE A PRICK SO I DON'T HANG OUT WITH EITHER
The first two lines were referring to Redrum(tinkle,tinkle)and Redrum's son who is living at the orphanage Billy runs, hence "lives with a priest". The third line is about Bloody (which was the answer), who you fight on a ship where(i believe) you fight your first wels. The fourth and fifth lines were about the Giant Wels that you fight right after Bloody, these types of guys grow larger when you hit them with ether so... The last line was just to make sure that it was clear they aren't actually friends or anything. You can go here: http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/psx/xeno/bosses.shtml to see pics of these guys and why I said that Redrum and Bloody look similar, that is the main reason why i chose to call them "friends". The next riddle can be posted by whoever is quickest...

This was the best I could do in half an hour. Final Fantasy: Crisis Core, I do my job with all my heart and head, Even if it means i'm digging up the dead, I don't mind the work because i'm paid much better, Than a Puppy who's as spunky as an irish setter.
