This seriously bugs me about FFXIII-2's plot. Why the heck would you ever build a second Cocoon? What the heck is the point? You already have this lovely city filled with people. You have an entire world to expand across, as they haven't covered nearly all of Pulse yet. So why the heck are they building a new floating deathtrap?
'Cause, yeah, that's all it is. That's the entire point of FFXIII. Cocoon is a deathtrap. Nothing more. And what happens? They build a second one and Caius crashes it in the first five minutes. Um, go team?
What was the point of it? What was wrong with Pulse or Academia? Why did they feel the need to create an entirely pointless new floating moon thing to live on, when they had tons of space that they already weren't using?
