* Also, Galenth Dysley, a fal\'Cie who wants to destroy Cocoon, is the one who ordered the Purge. He wants Cocoon to be destroyed, he \'\'wants\'\' people to be angry, suspicious, fearful, etc. The Purge was intended to be a shitshow that inevitably turned violent, not to actually find a l\'Cie.

* Also, Galenth Dysley, a fal\\\'Cie who wants to destroy Cocoon, is the one who ordered the Purge. He wants Cocoon to be destroyed, he \\\'\\\'wants\\\'\\\' people to be angry, suspicious, fearful, etc. The Purge was intended to be a shitshow that inevitably turned violent.
* This is the same reason he had Anime\\\'s home brought onto Cocoon centuries ago, and waited for it to awaken. It was no \\\"accident\\\" that Anima was on Cocoon.
* The bit about the party not being sure if their Focus is to destroy or save Cocoon is whining, plain and simple.
* The fal\\\'Cie themselves have Focuses, and the Cocoon fal\\\'Cie (including Dysley) have the Focus to protect Cocoon, but they lack free will to try and defy them. This is why they anoint l\\\'Cie, humans \\\'\\\'do\\\'\\\' have free will and can act outside their Focus. This is why Dysley goes through such lengths to manipulate the party and wants them branded by a Pulse fal\\\'Cie, because he can\\\'t just tell any random person \\\"hey, go destroy Cocoon for me\\\", he\\\'s trying to destroy Cocoon while acting within the bounds of his Focus. Now, why the Pulse fal\\\'Cie \\\'\\\'Anima\\\'\\\' doesn\\\'t specify the party\\\'s Focus is unclear. However, there are the missions, where l\\\'Cie mention they were given very specific Focuses to achieve. One even \\\'\\\'asked\\\'\\\' to be made a l\\\'Cie to be strong enough to kill a powerful monster, and the fal\\\'Cie granted his request and he was given the Focus to kill it. The point is, this is not as a simple \\\"the fal\\\'Cie don\\\'t just tell their l\\\'Cie what their Focus is because they\\\'re stupid\\\", there is way more to it than that.
* It is a major plot that Vanille was dumb for not telling the party the truth and Fang confronts her about this. Also, \\\"Vanille says that if their Focus is to destroy Cocoon, then let\\\'s do nothing\\\". So, just to recap - the party has found out the leader of the human government is secretly a fal\\\'Cie who wants to destroy Cocoon and is trying to manipulate them into doing it, and this entry is trying to argue that the smart thing to do is kill themselves so he can\\\'t? No. Also, they \\\'\\\'do\\\'\\\' leave Cocoon and refuse to destroy it later, and Dysley enacts a new scheme to lure them back and it is shown that even if they didn\\\'t come back, he was secretly manipulating Cocoon into a violent revolution and monster invasion.
Are there plot holes and contrivances? Oh, absolutely. Are there way easier ways Dysley could have destroyed Cocoon without l\\\'Cie at all? Sure. But it is not an Idiot Plot. This entry is bad and whomever wrote it should feel bad. Begone.
