FFIX Riddles v2.0

[Rantz]

Yup! Unknown because you never hear his name, in contrary to the other two.

So "short, unknown and ugly" refers to Regent Cid, the King of Burmecia and Queen Brahne. Now to carry on with the rest of the riddle!

Repost:
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

[NeoCracker]

Kuja.

He was controlling their actions after all.

[Rantz]

No, sorry!

The reference to a previous Final Fantasy lies in the first two lines.

[Caraliz]

Do the first two lines refer to moogles? :o

[Rantz]

Nope, but you're thinking along the right lines from what I can tell. Moogles also have a similar relation between IX/the game being referenced to the the answer's. If that makes any sense.

[Quindiana Jones]

I was gonna say the Crystal, but then realised my reasonings didn't fit. I'll say it anyway so it gets checked off the list.

[Rantz]

It's not the crystal.

[Caraliz]

Is it the main character in the first two lines?

[NeoCracker]

I'm going to say Gilgamesh.

[Rantz]

No to you both.

The answer is a person.

[Quindiana Jones]

Is it someone that the characters can meet, or do they simply hear of him/her?

[Rantz]

In a way, you can meet this person, but not the characters.

[Quindiana Jones]

Hmmm.....so it's a character from a cutscene or one of their nifty little ATE thingies?

[Rantz]

Nope, not really. I'm not gonna clue you more on that particular subject right now, it would make it too easy. Feel free to ask about other stuff though!

[Quindiana Jones]

Hmm....I have an idea. But I need to check my game before I do anything, because I can't remember what my answer will be.
