Final Fantasy IX Riddles... Three!?

[Lenna]

Royalty in FFIX (aside from Garnet):

Queen Brahne, Cid IX, Hilda, Puck and Puck's father.

That would be the full list as far as I'm aware, correct?

Wait a minute... I'm not studying the full riddle with this, so I could be wrong, but is it the Antlion? The Antlion has met with Edward (FFIV), Krile (FFV) and Puck (FFIX). I think a few times it was protecting its nest, and you usually fought it when caught in quicksand.

Congratulations, you got the answer right, it is Antlion.

Twice Your Protector - In FFIV it was the protector of the Sand Ruby? Which you needed to save Rosa, and in FFIX, it was sort of a protector to Cleyra. In all you meet it 3 times, but twice it turns against you after being Tame.
Three Times A Foe - In regards to the Royalty bit, you fight the Antlion 3 times as a boss fight. (People may say that he's been a boss in more than these ones, but in the other games he was a "mark" boss (optional))
Each Time Met Royalty - Edward, Krile and Puck as Turk says.
And Would Not Let You Go - Boss battle / can't escape.

You May Misunderstand Me - In FFIV and FFIX the Antlion was a tame creature that was said not to hurt anyone.
My Guardians Say The Same - Puck and Edward both mention that it is tame.
But If You Research Me -
You'll See In My Fame - Reference to the fact it's been in pretty much all FF's bar a couple, but you needed to research the various few to match it with the riddle =)

Grats Turk. your go :P

Good stuff, both of you. Looking forward to the next one.

[Rantz]

Nice riddle and good job on solving it. Sorry I didn't help much Tiffie x)

[Lenna]

It's been over 48 hours, someone want to do a riddle?

[TurkSlayer]

Hey, I apologize, been busy all weekend and forgot to come back.

I'm terrible at writing riddles, so if anyone else wants to take it, by all means do so.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

I'll do one.

Two mistakes precede me,
A mistress who betrayed my master,
Just one look at me,
And you'll see I was made after.
Use me and then you'll find,
I left all of my mistakes behind.

What am I?

[Quindiana Jones]

Hilda Garde 3?

Two mistakes precede me, - 1 and 2.
A mistress who betrayed my master, - Hilda stole 2 when Cid boinked around too much.
Just one look at me,
And you'll see I was made after. - 3 is better than the others.
Use me and then you'll find,
I left all of my mistakes behind. - 3 is better than the others.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

QUIN! ARG! Getting it on the 1st guess... mumble mumble mumble...

[Jiro]

Well hot damn. Good job Quin.

EDIT: If there's no riddle up when I get home, is it cool if I have a shot?

[Quindiana Jones]

I'm passing my turn onto Jiro. Having not played FF9 for a while, any riddle I create would do the game a disservice.

Sorry to steal your dreams, Jiro, but I just remembered I took down notes (actually true) when I saw an awesome riddle worthy topic on my last playthrough. Riddle will appear tomorrow evening.

[Jiro]

I never got home It's cool, you guessed right so go for it Quin

[Quindiana Jones]

Riddle. As usual, I've slipped into some kind of ye olde dreamspeech. But whatever, you love it. xD

You sleep in lands of darkened sky;
a home away from home.
You hide from fools and demons
in places which they roam.

Outside are those who use you,
those ignorant monsters and mice.
But we looked closer and we did see
one minute piece of Taoist vice.

I hope that it's not too vague. I don't think it is, but I would say that as I wrote the bloody thing.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Mognet Central?

[Rantz]

You sleep in lands of darkened sky;

I'm guessing this is the Treno area, unless it's too obvious. It could also refer to the southern part of the Forgotten Continent, or possibly some FMV where the sky goes dark, although "lands of" suggests it's a more permanent state.

"Sleep" could refer to actual sleeping, or having died and being buried or similar here. Alternatively just resting/waiting.

a home away from home.

Suggests they live here but only temporarily or such; it's not their "real" home.

You hide from fools and demons
in places which they roam.

This could mean pretty much anywhere I guess, but I'm thinking it might have a more specific meaning. Maybe Zorn and Thorn was here or something (they're both fools and demons, really).

Outside are those who use you,
those ignorant monsters and mice.

This is interesting. "Those who use you" says to me it is some sort of machine or similarly useful item. Ehh I'll elaborate more later.

But we looked closer and we did see one minute piece of Taoist vice.

I know the absolute basics of Taoism but I have no idea what a Taoist vice would be xD I have to research this later when I have more time.

Agh I don't really have time to elaborate but is it Quan? I doubt it but oh well it's a guess and all. /half-done post

[TurkSlayer]

I figure that whatever it is would be in Burmecia., what with the monsters, darken skies, and most obviously, "Mice". Unfortunately, I can't seem to think of anything hidden there. Too long since I've played. The only person I can think of is Stilitzkin.
