 So I just finished the game and here are the things I don't get (that I couldn't find answers to elsewhere in the forum) that I am hoping someone cal clarify for me:
-Given that orphan is destroyed at the end of the game, how does it make any sense that the only way to maximize your characters, is by finishing the game, expanding the crystarium and them somehow, Fang, Vanille and Orphan are back to life so you can continue developing your characters?
-If Orphan is dead, why were people still turning into crystals? (i.e. fang/vanille) I thought it was Orphan that turned people into crystals? And regardless, why did Lightning and company turn into crystals towards the end of the game and then turn back into normal people shortly thereafter?
-Is cocoon completely destroyed or is it being supported by the crystal "podium" thingy that ragnarok created?
-If the team was trying to save cocoon, why did they basically destroy it? (by killing off all of the fallcie, like orhpan etc) 
-Cocoon is basically a giant city right? So if Lightning and co didn't like where they lived, why didn't they just go to pulse and live there forever and just not go back to cocoon?  (after realizing of course, that pulse isn't that bad)
-How are Fang and Vanille related?
 
Thanks!
