FF8 Riddles

[Rantz]

The riddle:
"Lo and behold",
Ol' Laguna says to Ellone.

"If I were you,
I'd give in for my age
in a previous world,
without Elle."

could it be time compression
or something to do with time?

It's not time compression. And a part of the riddle (not the answer) is a teeny bit related to time, but not in an obvious way. :rolleyes2

What exactly are we looking for? Where in the riddle does it tell you?

The first part is a clue to find the answer, but you have to figure the first part out by figuring the second part out which is referring to the first part

Wrong guesses:
Raine
Squall
Edea
Dr. Odine
Time compression
Laguna card
Junction machine Ellone
The player
Youth

Hints:
The answer is not a person.
The answer is not an obtainable item.
