It is not alive in any sense.

The way I read the riddle, the "nimrod that arrived", discovers the units, then heads linearly forth, rather than the actual answer moving forth.

That all right so far?

Spot on, at least up until "7, 8 and 9 are unit that make up a whole". The "whole" here is what was already mentioned as the "Lindblum made thing" (which in fact is not so much a thing as a collection of things). I'm not sure what you mean in your second paragraph, but the second half of the riddle really just tells a story that gives you directions to the answers. Let me rearrange it for you, see if it clears things up:

The nimrod arrived in our creator's home
Then headed linearly forth four times, and found us there.

Also of note is that the nimrod is not an specific entity in the game, it's just a hunter in general.

Repost:

Come to us, in times of leisure
Don't be blinded by the treasure
Maximising your potential
thrice from seven, quite sequential.

Found by the nimrod that arrived
In home of minds which us contrived
then headed linearly forth
four times, though still far from the north.

Hints:
The answers are related to Tetra Master and Cid.
That relation will be obvious the second you hear the answer.
The answers are not related to the main plot.
The part about the nimrod relates to Lindblum.
The answers are not abstract in any way.
"Thrice from seven, quite sequential" means 7, 8, 9.
The answers were made in Lindblum, where their maker is also from.
The answers are not living things.

Oh right. That's not how I was interpreting it at all. My bad. Thanks. I knew the nimrod wasn't important, though.

Is it the action figures that you see on sale in lindblum? There's two little kids playing with them, and one of them has the Alexandria army, which included Brahne. The other kid had the Lindblum army, and it probably included Cid. Though, I'm not sure they were made in Lindblum...

Nope, not the Action Figures. :)

I would like to request another clue Rantz. I want to guess, but I have no idea! :(

I'm gonna go with the air cabs

Probably wrong but is it Daguerro?

Not the Air Cabs or Daguerreo.

Hint: "Don't be blinded by the treasure" mainly hints that there's also treasure in the same area as the answers, and that's not what you want to focus on to find them.

Does it have something to do with the Cleyran assault?
It just makes sense that you are paying more attention to the soldiers than the treasure, but I'm really grasping at straws (I would usually have a detailed explanation)

Nothing to do with the Cleyran assault.

I dunno if anyone's done this yet, or even if it's allowed, but... well, here it goes...

Come to us, in times of leisure
Does this suggest that you do it when you have some down time? A sidequest perhaps, since it's been stated that it doesn't have anything to do with the main plot.
Don't be blinded by the treasure
There's more treasure than what the riddle is about.
Maximising your potential
Getting some sort of experience. Leveling up maybe?
thrice from seven, quite sequential.
You've already stated that this means 9. IX maybe, as in the game itself? I don't know what that would do with anything though.

Found by the nimrod that arrived
A nimrod arriving at Lindblum, hmm? Was it Quina when the party takes off for Kuja's fortress in the ship?
In home of minds which us contrived
For the life of me, I can not figure out what this means.
then headed linearly forth
Straight line?
four times, though still far from the north.
Far from the north, sooo... south?

I realize now that doing this is more confusing than the riddle itself, but I'll leave it incase this opens up more clues. Having said that, is anything right?

Sure it's allowed!

Sort of. It doesn't really require any time worth mention, but what it suggests is that it's not tied to the plot in any way.

Yeah, basically what I said in the last hint.

Well, the gain from finding these things is actually only hinted at by the game, and not actual. As far as the game goes, you don't actually gain anything from the things, but it suggests that you can use them for improving yourself in one aspect.

Actually, it refers to all three numbers: 7, 8, 9. And it has nothing to do with the game being number 9.

---

Nope, not a specific nimrod. Just think of it as any generic hunter arriving in Lindblum, and what that suggests.

I've detailed it earlier in the thread.

Pretty much, but it also hints you at a direction.

Yes. 8)

The rank you get from Tetra Master cards?

Wow, this is really tough. I can see why everyone was so excited when it was your turn in the VII riddles.

I just now saw the thing about them having something to do with the cards. Is it the numbers on the bottom of the card. More specifically, finding out what they mean?

Neither are correct, sorry.
