I hope it turns out that Acnologia either lost because he's affected by Face more then "real" Dragons due to once being Human or that he was distracted by Face going off, which gave Igneel an opening to knock him down, but he's only stunned for a moment from the crash, rather than really defeated.

Though that page with Igneel towering over the fallen Acnologia was awesome!

I'm also wondering about Skiadrum and Weisslogia. Since Sting and Rogue extracted the Lacrima from their dead bodies, I have trouble believing they only faked their death. Maybe they secretly lay eggs and Metallicana and Grandeeney raised them during those last 14 years?

Or maybe they hung onto this world much like Atlas Flame did, but due to only being dead for 14ish years rather than 400, they still have this kind of power despite being "ghosts".
