WHAT THE F*** JUST HAPPENED?!
Really. That was my first thought. Now, maybe I'm a little slow, maybe I wasn't following it too well, whateverthe situation may have been ... but I didn't really get it. This is what I got:
Our Focus was to destroy Orphan, thus destroying Cocoon and summoning The Maker to "reset" the world. So if we don't destroy Orphan, we become C'ieth and the Focus is passed to somebody else to destroy Orphan. But if we do destroy Orphan, Cocoon goes to crap.
So ... Orphan wants us to destroy it. For some reason, the biggest fal'cie within reach is suicidal -- hell, ain't like he's gonna stick around to watch the world reset if he has to be destroyed to the resetting to start, right?
So we destroy Orphan. Well, we hurt it, apparently, and then Fang goes friggin' psycho. Why did she try to hurt Vanille? Why did she want to become Ragnarok? Better question yet, what the hell did she become? If that was Ragnarok, why was it such a wuss? Why was Fang's brand different from Vanille's in the first place? (It was faded and didn't grow arrows, so it didn't look like she could become a C'ieth, she was just in it to protect Vanille and keep her from becoming a C'ieth ... but how could Fang use magic, then?)
So Fang, as whatever beast she turned into, couldn't take down Orphan. But when the team gets back together, they make short work of it (really, Orphan's second phase was pretty damn easy). So they destroyed Orphan. That means they completed their Focus, and they will turn to crystal, right? Wait ... nope, apparently they "beat" that Focus, through some way never yet explained, and it's no longer their Focus to beat Orphan. So why did they do it anyway? And what exactly IS their Focus, now? To save Cocoon, by doing the exact same thing they would have done to destroy it?
Orphan's destroyed, I guess it looks like Cocoon is about to be destroyed. Well, that means our job is done, right? Or does it? What the hell was our job, anyway? Anyway, apparently, somehow, Fang and Vanille turn themselves into crystal together, along with a crapload of other things -- enough to hold Cocoon up do it doesn't crash into Gran Pulse.
So, why are the rest of us not crystal by now? And look, off in the distance -- Serah and Dahj are back! Wait, how in the hell did that happen?
Really. I'm a little confused right now.
