(I don't know if this belongs in Final Fantasy Fun or not. So, mods, if you move it, please message me first.)
This is a riddle topic where you guess an active riddle and if it is right, you can post one of your own. However, if there are empty riddle slots, they are free for the taking. Here are the rules:
-Riddles must be at least 4 lines long.
-They don't have to rhyme.
-The answer must be solely related to FFXII.
-Avoid using small details (Bestiary stuff, etc) although you are allowed to use them once in the riddle and once in a hint.
-Riddlers: Respond to guesses with a temperature system (Cold, Warm, Hot) to show how far off a guess is.
-Riddlers: If a guess has been made (unsuccessful), you can give a hint. Up to 3 may be given.
-Feel free to keep track of how many times you've guessed a riddle correctly in your sig- it will help me keep track of rankings.
I'll start it off with a riddle.

I look the same as my brothers,
But they are stronger than me.
I will smite you with my great skyborn wrath
If you decide to fight me.
I am sealed away and hidden for good reason.
So if you try and kill me,
The gods will strike you down.
I have no sword or shield,
But my strength does not rely in cold, lifeless steel.


This one should be easy.:ohshit:

Anyone?
BTW, you can post a riddle if you think mine's too difficult.

No one?
Fine, I'll put in an easier one but the one in my first post is still up.

I make my home in the sewers
Which does little to douse my anger.
You see me once, and only once
Be glad for that.
Killing me will only put you in a dungeon.
Where three seeq lie waiting for you.

Hint for the first riddle: Planting your sword in me spills your blood as well as mine.

Firemane is correct! Great job!

I make my home in the sewers
Firemane lives in the Garamsythe
Which does little to douse my anger.
He's a fire beastie
You see me once, and only once
You only fight him once
Be glad for that.
Filler.
Killing me will only put you in a dungeon.
After killing him you get thrown into Nalbina Dungeon.
Where three seeq lie waiting for you.
You have to fight 3 seeq bare-handed to get out.

Hell Wyrm is cold. He is sealed away, but has only 1 brother (Yiazmat). Don't forget, the gods hated Hell Wyrm; they placed those rings on it to stop it from killing (Bestiary entry). He has no sword or shield, but what I am talking about doesn't use melee attacks at all. So I suppose that qualifies as a hint...

Hint 2: I do not provoke travelers. I do not use a sword, but what I do instead is far more powerful.

Remember that you can post a riddle too because you guessed one correctly. And the one remaining riddle slot is free for the taking.
 
I'll try

This Town Is At The Shadow,
The Shadow Of Money.
Rich People Fall,
Poor People Rise.
Over And Over Again
Does The Circle Continue.
The Town To Suffer,
The Empire's Wrath.

That OK?

Remember that there's still an empty riddle slot!

Sounds like Belias
 
It cant be an Esper seeing as the Gods robbed them of their power; in their original forms, they tried to challenge the Gods themselves, and were punished.

The final two lines suggest that the answer isn't a physical type.

The first two lines suggest that it has counterparts which are far stronger than it. The next two lines inform me that you can fight it.

After all that....I say...Shadowseer?
 
Gabranth, you are right. Don't forget that Belias has a sword, but in the future, please let me answer the guesses. Thanks for helping though.
Belias and Shadowseer are cold.
Hint 3: Two of my siblings reside in the desert, one in the dunes, one in the tanks.
 
I'll give that slot a go.

You can avoid me, or face me,
but either has the same result.
A guard I am, and will be for millenia.
I am alive, but only just.
No other is quite like me, but almost.
 
@FF7Guru: Elder Wyrm? I know that it's almost dead but alive because the Wood grew into it.
 
Magnum Moogle begins casting Piercing Bumpaja!!
