The one with only Cloud. They could have made that into a cutscene and it would have been so much better >_>

The problem with FFXIII ending is that the english dialogue doesn't make much sense with the actual action. I've seen the fan translated version on FF-XIII.net and trust me, it's much better than the official one.

It makes sense in the way that it's the only logical conclusion of what could happen to Cocoon and Pulse, and why they voluntarely sacrificed themselves in order to save Cocoon's humankind. It was an announced ending, nothing trully unexpected. But then again, no FF has ever had a completely unexpected ending xD 

Do you have a link to that? I don't see it.

I'm reading a bit more on how things came to be, and I dunno... did anyone else miss a ton of stuff? Or were things just a bit confusing? Maybe I didn't care enough for the story? Did we have to read the Datalog?

I suppose I felt the story was too convoluted for me, I like em a bit more straight-forward (more old school, less FF8 kinda thing). I'll say this much, I definitely didn't beat the boss expecting the two to do what they did. I thought the group didn't have a plan, and were just kinda going with the flow...

They had it up as a quick link when the Translation project was still going, but since the EU/NA release it's been taken down. 

The datalog explains a lot of the story and the events that lead to the actions of the game. But the actual story of Vanille and Fang is much more subtle, you only get the full grasp of it by using some logic as to why Pulse is in the state that it is.
