. "Focus (Fabula Nova Crystallis)"@en . "Focuses are given to the l'Cie through visions they must interpret to know what the mission requires them to accomplish. In some cases, the missions can be straightforward and involve killing a specified creature at a given location; in others, the l'Cie are given little or no information, and have to discover their Focus on their own. While a l'Cie is generally thought of as having a single specific Focus, it is possible for l'Cie to be created without one, whereupon the l'Cie instantly transforms into Cie'th."@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In some cases, the missions can be straightforward and involve killing a specified creature at a given location; in others, the l'Cie are given little or no information, and have to discover their Focus on their own. Focuses generally lead to two outcomes: transformation into a Cie'th, or crystallization, leading most Cocoon citizens to consider l'Cie branding a curse. Some missions suggest certain l'Cie are promised additional rewards for completing a Focus, such as having a loved one returned to human form from that of a crystal or Cie'th, or being released from service as a l'Cie; whether these rewards were ever actually delivered to successful l'Cie is unknown. While a l'Cie is generally thought of as having a single specific Focus, it is possible for l'Cie to be created without one, whereupon the l'Cie instantly transforms into Cie'th. Fal'Cie were created by the gods for a specific purpose, which can be thought of as a \"Focus\". L'Cie exist as a \"loophole\" to this pseudo-Focus, and allow fal'Cie to complete objectives for which they weren't originally created."@en . . .
