FFIX Riddles v2.0

I didn't say the answer never made anything... :bigsmile: And that's as far as I'll guide you on that particular subject.

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

Incorrect answers:
Black Mage(s)
Kuja
Vivi
Genomes

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.
The answer is quite obscure, and of very little importance to the game.
It's unknown whether the person is alive or dead.

You scratchy bitch. :love:

its your riddle, thats not a hint, thats a taken.

IS IT THE PAINTER? :bigsmile:

Quan?

[My calling now is not too far from what it was before]
uh, not sure about that
[though I don't play with you much, friends and peers, not anymore]
well, he did go a way different from all the Qu's
[I am tired, weary; Do I even still exist?
I can't feel my limbs, but through my work I will persist!]
Well, how would you feel if you starved for so long, yet were too stubborn to give up?
[Though short, unknown and ugly may all well be in command
they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand]
Not sure about that, either.

My guess match the following 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.
The existence of the answer could be questioned.
The answer is quite obscure, and of very little importance to the game.
It's unknown whether the person is alive or dead. (I mean, Quan did appear in a secret scene with Vivi and Quina, right?)

Just another random guess.

And no!

In the second line, the answer speaks to the party.

is it Gogo, the guy the Old man in Danguerro tells you about that used to make dolls of people?

Reasoning

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
(was playable in FFVI)

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 ( Cid,Brahe,King of Burmecia)

they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand ( He made dolls representing them)

Correct! :jess: Do you want show your reasoning for it? Otherwise I'll submit my reasoning for it.

Show the reasoning Rantz! I had no chance of getting this one. :love:

Well done, Caveroamer, you hunk. :bigsmile:

My calling now is not too far from what it was before
In Final Fantasy VI, Gogo was a member of the party who was a Mimic. Back then, he imitated. Now he makes "dolls that look like real people", another form of imitation.

though I don't play with you much, friends and peers, not anymore
He's not in the playing party in this game.

I am tired, weary
When you exchange the Magical Fingertip (supposedly Gogo's) for the Excalibur, he says about the item: "Look at these fingers. They look worn-down, as if they never got a break."

Do I even still exist?
We do not know whether Gogo Godfingers still lives or not.

I can't feel my limbs
Considering his fingers or hand, or whatever the Magical Fingertip is, is an item you can achieve, he is likely not to be able to feel them anymore.

but through my work I will persist!
His dolls are handicraft that will continue to remind of him.

Though short, unknown and ugly may all well be in command
they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand
Cid, The King of Burmecia and Brahne are (were) the leaders of their countries, but they are all made to dolls "under his hand".

Your go, Caveroamer, and good job!

Edit: It went on for 5 pages. I think that's a personal record. :bigsmile:

Here it goes


Power to rule them all
Destroying things with a single blow
Do not underestimate me
For I am the bringer of Death

I'm taking a stab and saying "The Invincible"

I'd guess at Lvl. 5 Death. Or a character that can cast it, like Quina.

Kuja?
