Well... I beat the game. Hmmm. Big spoilery questions, because I want to know if maybe it actually does make sense before I write my review. And yeah these are end game super spoilers.

1: Why did Jerkass McPope tell them his plan and what he wanted them to do, instead of, you know, tricking them?

2. What was the point of the Ark or Pulse areas? They didn't advance the plot, and they didn't have any real goals while they were there, except "Hey maybe we'll find a cure" but no really that's a paper thin excuse for throwing them in Pulse, and it still doesn't make sense why McPope sent them there.

3. Why can't the Fal'Cie destroy Orphan? I mean, they say they can't because they made Cocoon, but really? I dunno, that just doesn't make sense to me and seems more like a poor excuse the writer made up for why the heroes have to than a rule of the game's universe.

4. If McPope wants them to kill him and destroy Orphan, why does he fight back? Is it part of the question three nonsense?

5. "You want us to destroy Orphan but we aren't your pawns so we're gonna destroy Orphan! To save Cocoon! Even though you've said several times that doing so will destroy Cocoon!" What?

6. "He turned me into a Cie'th!" "A Cie'th?" "...I got better." Riiiiiiiiight.

7. Why and how exactly did Vanille and Fang turn into a super summon? What the hell was up with Cocoon melting at the end? What was with crystal explosions? WHAT? WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?

8. And then everyone got better from being a crystal... except Vanille and Fang... because they're lesbians I guess... RIIIIIIIIGHT.

I thought the pacing was poor early on, but the ending is just downright pure what the fuckery to the nth degree. Please help me make sense of it. When I review it, I at least want to be doing it right.
