No. The answer is certainly more obscure than the Weapons.

No. The answer is certainly more obscure than the Weapons.
Okay, here's my answer: Ultima WEAPON and Ulitma Weapon
By name we might be brothers, (Self-explanitory)
though in form it not be so. (one is a monster, one is a sword)
Though we serve the same master,
and in his service go. (These two lines I can't quite explain, but Cloud controls the sword.)
Go before the blade (one is used to fight Sephiroth, and one is fought by Cloud.)
Yet only one before the fire (you have to forge a blade, no?)
Ironically to aid the source
Of limitations ire. (One gives up the weapon to Cloud, and the other to defeat Sephiroth, I think)
That may not be a very good answer, but it's the best I got....
Oh! Totally different track, which actually may be a little too obvious...
Leviathan and Leviathan Scales
By name we might be brothers, (Well yeah)
though in form it not be so. (Again...)
Though we serve the same master, (Cloud)
And in his service go. (He uses them)
Go before the blade, (Not sure how this applies to the scales...)
Yet only one before the fire (In the mountain)
Ironically to aid the source
Of limitation's ire. (It puts out the fire, but it helps you get (maybe I can't remember) a limit manual)
No one has it yet. I like the way everyone is thinking, but no one has picked up on the meaning of the second half of the riddle. Without the clarification that interpretation of the second half provides, the first four lines are too vague to, I believe, form a definitive answer.
Is it by any chance Sleipnir?
No. Interesting guess, though.
For the record, there are two answers, and both must be named in order to answer the riddle.
Is it Ultimate and Diamond Weapon?
By name we might be brothers, (Well...)
though in form it not be so. (One flies, one walks, different appearance)
Though we serve the same master, (The planet)
And in his service go. (They leave the crater to protect the planet)
Go before the blade, (They both fight Cloud and Co.)
Yet only one before the fire (Diamond going up against the Sister Ray)
Ironically to aid the source
Of limitation's ire. (They actually work towards helping Seph, not the planet)
To be fair, though, this guess addresses two Weapons specifically, which was a departure from the guess of all Weapons. However, this riddle has absolutely nothing to do with the Weapons: not Emerald, Ruby, Ultima, Diamond, or even Sapphire/WEAPON.Quote:

It's either holy or the life stream. Holy comes through the crater to save the world from the Meteor & The life stream is repairing the gash in the crater made by Jenova crashing into it.

Masamune said it was more obscure. I don't really think it is, as it's reference to 2 things. plus how does it refer to the before the blade bit.
I think that the characters/things we are looking for in this riddle have actually fought against cloud and the gang. Holy hasn't neither has Lifestream.

just as guesses, dont feel like explaining
black/white materia
or city/temple of the ancients
No one has it yet, but xlxRenoxlx made an important point. The answers to this riddle do, in fact, fight against Cloud and company.
To prevent pure guesswork, given the verification just provided, I would like to see how you are all interpreting the lines.
Good luck.
Is the answer Apps and Rapps, Don Corneo's 'pets'?
By name we might be brothers, (Apps and Rapps are similar)
though in form it not be so. (they look different)
Though we serve the same master, (that master being the Don)
And in his service go. (they do as he says)
Go before the blade, (they both fight against Cloud and chums)
Yet only one before the fire (Apps is weak against Fire magic, but you can't use magic against Rapps - no materia.)
Ironically to aid the source
Of limitation's ire. (I didn't get the last part, but the rest fits)
I've been trying to think of enemy names that were similar, thats a good guess even if its wrong... I was trying to work out a boss you fought before getting fire materia.
Yeah I forgot about the no Weapons things, I was trying to work back from the blade and fire bit.
Masamune can I ask for this clue pls? Are these Ingame things we fight. or are they just random enemies we meet around the world?
To Phoenix Ash :
There is only one boss you can fight before getting the Fire materia and that is the Scorpion Guard. because after that you go straight to Sector 7 and the next day you're free to buy Fire Materia. I think someone already said Scorpion guard so I believe that will not be your answer.
