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

Yep, it's Ying/Yang, in the basement. -Sephiroth does become enlightened about his own past...THEN he goes crazy. -Contorted/heightened does refer to his posture. -Yep, third line's about the bones laying around. -And...I was sure there's some point at which you can fight him with Vincent's theme still playing. That's one of the things that I thought was so eerie about the basement. Maybe it's only the PC version? I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy. Anyway, your turn Nate.

Maybe I'm crazy.You could be right.. it has been a long time since I have payed and I was more making an assumption that it went to the battle theme when you fight them lol.
Anyway, your turn Nate.I think I'll pass the torch back to you since you said you have a whole bunch already in irc... I'll be making up something good in the meantime in case I ever guess correctly again XD.

I do have a bunch, but I feel like going twice in a row would be hoggy of me, and this thread is for everyone, so I'm leaving the floor totally open! Whoever posts first, have at it!

There is 1 and only 1 area where you can fight the enemy 'Tonberry', where is it?

Is that the little thingy that carries a knife and walks real slowly? Cause if so, you can find that in the battle arena in the Gold Saucer and on the path to where you fight Sephy right after you get out of the Highwind :)

Or did you want specific areas in the Northern Cave? Edit: LINK STRIIIIIIIIFE!!!! XD Double edit: Actually, I think that link strife is correct with the golden saucer... the Tonberry is only there. In the northern cave is Master Tonberry.

And I'm actually pretty confident your answer is correct, as while I was looking for a spirit bug fix the other day, I saw some other bug fixes. One was that the Tonberry can be added back to the Whirlwind maze so that it is not just in the battle arena. I'm hoping that the spirit bug fix won't make it too easy, though. I am thinking it would make for a slightly different experience as armor that wasn't viable before will be so with the fix. Btw, your semi-new avatar is awesome. XD

Ya, you should play through again. And the spirit bug fix sounds like a good idea! It seems like it will make it easier but not too easy. Try it and tell us what happens, oh and thanks :) I saw this pic on the internet and was like ...cool!
