" Final Fantasy XIII Ultimania Omega " gives further analysis on the Analects , and identifies the figures mentioned in Analect I : " Stout " is Pulse , who created the land of Gran Pulse , " Sage " is Lindzei , who had the fal ' Cie create Cocoon , and " Fool " is the goddess Etro , who left the world for the Unseen Realm . " Luminous " is not explained in the " Ultimania " , although it may refer to Bhunivelze . The term Maker in this Analect doesn ' t appear to refer to a single being , but to the gods as a whole . In Analect II the Lindzei - lineage fal ' Cie creating Cocoon and moving a portion of Gran Pulse ' s people there is described from the perspective of those angered by the seizure of their fellow men and of their resources . ' Demon ' is the title given to Lindzei by the people of Gran Pulse , and the ' Demon ' s brood ' refers to the fal ' Cie of Lindzei - lineage . The term ' Demon ' s brood ' was not used in the English localization , but appears in the first line of the Japanese text . Analect III tells of Vanille and Fang in the village of Oerba in the far north of Gran Pulse , being chosen to become l ' Cie and being given the Focus of destroying Cocoon , and Analect IV is the account of the events of the War of Transgression , where Etro interfered by placing Fang and Vanille in crystal stasis . It is similar to the account on the Oerba epitaph , but Analect IV is the retelling of a vision received after the War of Transgression by a seeress from the now long - dead city of Paddra . Analects V and VI are also written by residents of Paddra , and describe the path of destruction that faced the people of Gran Pulse following the War of Transgression . The city " Haerii Archaeopolis " was attacked by the great beasts of Gran Pulse and the reckless creation of l ' Cie by the fal ' Cie was also a factor in the decline of the population . Analect VII is about Hallowed Pulse , the god worshiped by the people of Gran Pulse . It states that the fal ' Cie of Pulse - lineage are charged with the Focus of completing the world , but this is mankind ' s interpretation , and in truth they are searching for the " gateway to the Divine " as per the hypothesis in Analect XI . Analect VIII talks of Lindzei , the god despised by the people of Gran Pulse . Expressions like " anathema " and " sovereign to snakes and fiends " are the bitter words of those who have had what is theirs pillaged , and not an objective view of Lindzei . Analect IX talks of the goddess Etro , also known as the ' goddess of death ' . Etro ' s actions are driven by compassion for others , such as her stopping Fang as Ragnarok during the War of Transgression and preventing the death of many lives in Cocoon , and sending Eidolons from the Unseen World to l ' Cie on the brink of despair in order to give them hope . Analect X seeks an answer to the mystery of the Arks , said to have been created by the fal ' Cie in preparation of an invasion from beyond the world by an outside menace . It offers an interpretation that the ' beyond ' is the domain of the gods , and that the purpose of the construction of the Arks was to invade that place . The sentence being referenced in the last line is missing the English localization ; originally preceding the final line ( " The gods vanished . . . " ) : " Or was it their design that we should mount an assault into that ' beyond ' ? " Analect XI rejects the common view given in Analect VII that the goal of the Pulse - lineage fal ' Cie is the expansion of the physical world , and suggests that their true motive is to find the " gateway to the Divine " indicating that all fal ' Cie seek to locate the ' gateway ' to call back the Maker . Analect XII goes on to speculate about the nature of the gateway to the world of the dead , referenced in Analect XI as the ' gateway to the Divine ' . The hypothesis that the simultaneous end of a great many lives would open wide the gateway , allowing a union with the Maker , is the basis for Barthandelus ' s plan . In the final Analect , Analect XIII , the first two lines are summaries of the actions and motives of the Pulse - lineage and Lindzei - lineage fal ' Cie respectively , and the latter half is a premonition of the game ' s ending from a seeress who has received an oracle . This is the only place in " Final Fantasy XIII " where the terms " unseeable expanse " and " Etro " are used . " With despair its secret key " is a premonition of Fang becoming Ragnarok in her despair , and her actions bringing forth the appearance of the door to the Unseen World . " Sacrifice , the one hope " is a premonition of Vanille and Fang sacrificing themselves to save the people of Cocoon . " When the twilight of the gods at last descends " is the equivalent translation of Ragnarok in Norse mythology and a metaphor for Vanille and Fang ' s transformation and predicts Ragnarok receiving the support of Etro in the Unseen World to bring forth a miracle and save the people of Cocoon . Etymology . The word " analect " means a " fragment " or " extract from literature " .
