I can only think of the genomes and the black mages when you say "do I even still exist" ;_;Quote:

The riddle:
My calling now is not too far from what it was before
though I don't play with you much, friends and peers, not anymore
I am tired, weary; Do I even still exist?
I can't feel my limbs, but through my work I will persist!
Though short, unknown and ugly may all well be in command
they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand

Hints:
The answer is a person.
The answer exists in the game's world, i.e. it's not something the player could be aware of but not the characters.
"Short, unknown and ugly" refers to Regent Cid, the King of Burmecia and Queen Brahne.
The first two lines contains references to a previous Final Fantasy.
The existence of the answer could be questioned.
Is it a big or little character, in terms of importance to the game? ;_;
Very little. :jess:
I need Harle here to help me with my reasoning. ;_;
Ummm. I can't think of anyone who has a little role in the game. I say we ... give Rantzien bubbles. :jess:
To distract me and trick me into revealing the answer, I'd bet. :)
Did someone call for aid? :cape:
So lemme get this straight in my head:
My calling now is not too far from what it was before
though I don't play with you much, friends and peers, not anymore - Old FF reference. The answer is like something in an older FF, but different.
I am tired, weary; Do I even still exist?
I can't feel my limbs, but through my work I will persist! - It might not even exist, full stop. Which means it could be dead, but with it's "work" (ideas? Writings? Research on something?) it is still known in the game.
Though short, unknown and ugly may all well be in command - Brahne, Burmecia, and Cid all use something related to the answer to do stuff.
they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand - They would be powerless without it? Or, at least, they wouldn't be able to do something if the thing relating to this person wasn't around?
All that, and the fact that the answer is a person.
Is it one of the Cids? Cid I, I think. No....Cid VII. Cid VII invented airships, which are used by *reasoning fails due to the King of Burmecia*.
That rat bastard. :mad2:
So far, so good. The answer is like someone from an older FF, but with a different profession; although the professions are connected in a maybe not so obvious way. Likely to be one of the many backwards nods from SE.Quote:

Argh, I can't explain. just ignore that ;p
And this person is easy to miss throughout the game, did you say?
Also, would I be on the right lines if I took "I can't feel my limbs" quite literally, and assumed this person no longer has limbs?
Yup.
Hey~ Is it Blank in the petrified forest? :o
Who in this games has no Limbs?
