The author doesn't have to tell us everything, and there are probably a few things she assumes were fairly obviously explained, that some of us do not.
I didn't say she needed to reveal everything. lol

But we still don't have a solid idea of who "Truth" actually is.

And since we will probably see it once more, I am wondering if she will reveal something more regarding it.

Also, I think there's a high probability that Greed will save the day. In the Manga, Greed was first killed on a cross (later edited by Viz and subsequently altered in Brotherhood). But why a cross? I believe Arakawa (who says she knew the ending ever since she began) was giving a hint that Greed would be "redeemed". Afterall, in Christianity, the cross is a sign of redemption. And we all know how Arakawa has used many Christian/Jewish symbols throughout the story. It's a possibility that I think will come to pass in some way or another.
