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

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.

Lol I got the answer for all the wrong reasons. The epilogue helped tremendously. A Square Game

Life is invisible to the naked eye To proceed forward never go behind Wait until the chat is done Overkill will result in death to none
This game is indeed fun and I recommend it to anyone.

I'm doing both riddles and that's boring so I'll give this one to anyone who has a riddle. Here's the answer to this one. Life is invisible to the naked eye - A game with no health bars or hit points. It's realistic as you can die in one hit.
Note: this game is based on an honor system, and if you do not honor your opponents, you can not proceed. To proceed forward never go behind - It is dishonorable to kill while your facing to your opponent's back Wait until the chat is done - In this game, you can attack before the fight begins when they are talking to you. Killing them while they are in mid conversation will render the fight null and void. Overkill will result in death to none - If you kill your opponent fair and square, and you decide to hack away on the dead corpse, then it results as dishonorable and a redo of the match.

FF7: Two go together, though one resists, Both as ones who don't exist. He determines what's in store, She's the one from three before. Choosing her is the "correct" path, But choose her foe and you'll face her wrath.

the riddle refers to a specific thing, so guessing the two people involved isn't enough. :D

I'll take one stab at it then me go to bed. Don't think it's right but it could work maybe? Thought of Don Corneo's mansion at first but this made a bit more sense...

Two go together, though one resists,
Cloud and X member by how you played the disc 1, Cloud resists going on date at first.
Both as ones who don't exist.
Alfred the Legendary Knight(Cloud) and the Captured Princess Rosa(Date)
He determines what's in store,
Cloud chooses his actions.
She's the one from three before.
? That's why I think I'm wrong, I got nothing on this
Choosing her is the "correct" path,
Of course you're supposed to save the princess.
But choose her foe and you'll face her wrath.
X would slap you in the face and then KO the EDK.

I'd have to play it again. ...It's not the clowns with the juggling balls is it? You have to pick the right hand, the one the [insert correct color] ball ends up in. In the process of juggling, they travel up, down, left and right. Sorta.
