Final Fantasy IX Riddles... Three!?

[Codelock]

ok so its not that stuff am i even close with either of them and can you give a hot or cold lol

The stone does refer to the Gulug stone.

[Quindiana Jones]

Once I was there,
That was long ago.
The first thing I will do
Is find it yet a again.

Wait lets explore,
And strive to find.
A soul, a stone,
And a reflection of my home.

It feels so close.
But never quite the same.

I feel it has something to do with Oeilvert. Finding it yet again, I imagine, refers to Zidane having to find the place. He explores the place. The soul is Ark, the stone is the Gulug Stone, the reflection is the Terra hologram. The Oeilvert tune is the exact same tune as A Place to Call Home, but with different instruments, which could be what the last two lines are about.

Are any of you reading the other posts? I thought everyone would stop guessing Oeilvert and the Gulug stone after you saw me get it wrong.

[Quindiana Jones]

Untwist your knickers, DM, you have yet to mention Oeilvert. And even if I hadn't bothered reading the other posts, why does it matter if someone double guesses? It especially not-matters by virtue of the fact that your guess was wrong, so there's not even a chance that someone could steal your win.

"Any of you" of course refers to Codelock and myself. Let's clear this up.

Your guess:

Zidane returning to Terra

This is a specific event that happened in the game.

Codelock's guess:

Zidane

A character of the game who relates to several specific events in-game but is different and separate to them.

My guess:

Oeilvert

A place in the game.

It's very clear that these are all different guesses with a variety of similarities. Though several parts of your post make some reference to events that happen in Oeilvert, at no point to you actually make that guess or suggest that it is your guess. As such, should the answer end up being Oeilvert, qwerty was completely within his right to not accept your answer.

Oeilvert is close but still wrong.

[The Dark Messenger]

Is it possible that it's referring to Mount Gulug? I mean, Zidane goes to get the Gulug Stone from Olivert in order for Kuja to enter Mt. Gulug...which is the result Garland's attempt to merge Terra and Gaia together, right?

"It feels so close, but never quite the same" seems to fit this scenario perfectly. Am I close, qwertysaur?
Btw, rofl at this little dispute here. I like Codelock's answer (the second one)

[Quindiana Jones]

It's somewhat hypocritical how randomly offensive I get because of other people's random offensiveness.

I'm like The Punisher, except less badass.

You didn't quote the rest of mine I mentioned the stone which is in Oeilvert and the talking heads which is in Oeilvert as well.

Huh, what's the point of that? I'm just trying to help you all out ain't nothing wrong with it.

[qwertysaur]

Not Mt. Gulug.

[The Dark Messenger]

Okay...well, what about Pandemonium?...come on. i gotta be close!

[qwertysaur]

nope

[Jiro]

It wouldn't have anything to do with that castle with the four seals, would it? The one holding the key to unlocking Terra?

[qwertysaur]

it might, it might not. I'll be more clear when I get a couple more guesses.

[the_sandman]

The stone faces in Oeilvert.
