Finally!! Think I've found it! The symbol on the Exceeds hat seems so be the symbol of the Heartfilia family...or something like that....I think...

It appears on Layla's coffin in the ending credits, beside their graves as a pond in the opening, on the necklace the old guy with the candles is wearing, in-front of the evil teddy with Lahar and on the shield of the armour/Cobra guy.

So I'm thinking that this Exceed, the armour guy (starting to not think he is Cobra but I don't know) and the teddy (?? lol) are some sort of protectors of the Heartfilia secret thing (which seems to be this item that the Michelle character brings - the metal stick wrapped in cloth)... but yeah, this is all guessing > <"

So I'm thinking we will see 3 separate plot-line sorta things:
 * The counterparts making an appearance as bad guys in some guild...
 * The Jiggle Butt Gang and all about them... and...
 * The Heartfilia secret item thing (the cloth stick) with the armour guy, the teddy, the Exceed, this new Michelle character and a whole lot of others.

But this is all me speculating....guess we will just have to wait and see :3
