FFIX Riddles v2.0

[Caveroamer]

is it Gogo, the guy the Old man in Danguerro tells you about that used to make dolls of people?

Reasoning

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
(was playable in FFVI)

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 ( Cid,Brahe,King of Burmecia)

they do not see how they are mere puppets under my hand ( He made dolls representing them)
