** Because the crystals are essentially fantasy versions of data storage devices such as hard disks and [=SSDs=], it's plausible that the crystals have gathered data on the destroyed worlds' most notorious monsters. The Creator may have not destroyed those worlds himself, but the data clones of those notorious monsters most likely did, hundreds or thousands of years after the heroes who slew the originals are long dead. There's also the plausibility of those worlds being affected by the Creator's data gathering being parallel worlds to the original ones, which opens up another dimension of horrific possibilities.

* Why is Rosa the only one to recognize the Hooded Man as Kain? The two of them knew each other as children, and grew up together. So she's seen his face before. But once he became a Dragoon he stuck to wearing his face covering armor almost all the time, so people that only met him once he started working the Red Wings or in the actual FF4 story itself like Cid or Porom wouldn't recognize him without his armor on. Cecil would have likely recognized him too, but he's not in his right mind when the Hooded Man meets him (And he does realize who that was shortly afterwards, as Planet Eater shows).

* FridgeBrilliance: Edge [[LampshadeHanging keeps talking]] about how "history keeps repeating itself"; in fact, one of the major complaints about the game is that so many of its events were directly lifted from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV''. But then, you find out that the crystals [[spoiler: were created to record the history of the world they were placed on]]. And if you talk to the crystals in the Lunarians' Tale, one of them even says, "[[spoiler:Its history has been recorded. It must be revealed]]." So it actually kind of makes sense that everything is happening the way it did before.
* FridgeLogic: Why does "bloodfeast" work on Calca and Brina, who are essentially robots?
* FridgeHorror: If The Creator has been creating and destroying worlds all this time, and the enemies fought near the finale are remnants of those destroyed worlds, and said enemies are from Final Fantasies I, II, III, V, and VI... then did The Creator destroy all those worlds?
