    What does this make you think of? Can we assume it's a certain type of work? Also try and relate this to "Do I even still exist?".
    I can only think of the genomes and the black mages when you say "do I even still exist" ;_;

    Well it's not a philosophical line really, like in "do I exist if I'm a genome?". It's more brutal than that, so to say. The word "still" tells you what about the answer?

    The riddle:
    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


    Incorrect answers:
    Black Mage(s)
    Kuja
    Vivi
    Genomes
    Garland
    Necron
    Cid
    The game
    Steiner
    Lav Layderce
    Queen Brahne
    Queen Stella
    The pointer
    Master Phantom
    The player
    Black Waltz #3
    The Nero brothers
    Moogles
    The Crystal
    Gilgamesh
    Carbuncle
    Garnet
    Iifa Tree
    Ramuh
    Puck
    Blank
    Beatrix
    Ruby
    Mikoto
    Summoners


    Hints:
    The answer is a person.
    The answer exists in the game's world, i.e. it's not something the player could be aware of but not the characters.
    "Short, unknown and ugly" refers to Regent Cid, the King of Burmecia and Queen Brahne.
    The first two lines contains references to a previous Final Fantasy.
    The existence of the answer could be questioned.

    Is it a big or little character, in terms of importance to the game? ;_;

    I need Harle here to help me with my reasoning. ;_;

    Ummm. I can't think of anyone who has a little role in the game. I say we ... give Rantzien bubbles.

    To distract me and trick me into revealing the answer, I'd bet.

    Did someone call for aid? :cape:

    So lemme get this straight in my head:

    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
    - Old FF reference. The answer is like something in an older FF, but different.
    I am tired, weary; Do I even still exist?
    I can't feel my limbs, but through my work I will persist!
    - It might not even exist, full stop. Which means it could be dead, but with it's "work" (ideas? Writings? Research on something?) it is still known in the game.
    Though short, unknown and ugly may all well be in command - Brahne, Burmecia, and Cid all use something related to the answer to do stuff.
    they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand - They would be powerless without it? Or, at least, they wouldn't be able to do something if the thing relating to this person wasn't around?

    All that, and the fact that the answer is a person.

    Is it one of the Cids? Cid I, I think. No....Cid VII. Cid VII invented airships, which are used by *reasoning fails due to the King of Burmecia*.

    That rat bastard.

    So far, so good. The answer is like someone from an older FF, but with a different profession; although the professions are connected in a maybe not so obvious way. Likely to be one of the many backwards nods from SE.

    Now we're getting somewhere! The job is not any of those you mention, but another type of job that can make you "immortal", in the abstract sense of the word. And yes, the answer might be dead, although we don't know for sure (and no, this does not mean it's him).

    Nope, this particular line does not really relate to the answer, but only to B&B&C.

    No. This line may be more relevant than you think at first. It's stuffed with information!

    It's not any of the Cids. I was going to make a riddle about one of them at first though, so bonus points for solving the riddle I never even made! Then I thought of this one which is far more genial.

    A target? I don't think so, but I'm not quite sure what you mean.

    And this person is easy to miss throughout the game, did you say?

    Also, would I be on the right lines if I took "I can't feel my limbs" quite literally, and assumed this person no longer has limbs?
