Kidding, you're right. That Fang cosplay on the bench with Lightning - while not all that great - the spear is amazingly accurate. Just like that replica of Lightning's sword on the last page. Why are all the weapon replicas suddenly so good? They're frequently the worst part.
What I admire the most about Lightning is the fact that she took charge and took care of things when her parents died. I think of things she gave up to keep herself and Serah housed and fed, and feel for her on that.
Still, I think all of this is proof that life on Cocoon is a hell of a lot easier... (Yeah, I know, no duh!)
