I kinda wonder how these revelations play into Fray and Myste from the dark knight job quests. Especially with Myste, who would seem to be a summon who can create more summons, like a primal creating adds to fight for them.
Oh neat, the actual Final Fantasy Twintania from FF5 is a fate boss I've never seen

As far as Amaurot recreation goes, to me it's clear that Emet-Selch remade the place in a way that is self sustained, because otherwise he wouldn't have been able to fight us at his fullest. Course, maybe he needs to juice his creation every now and again too.

As far as Myste and Fray go, they are reflections of the WoL's soul and psyche, so in essence part of him. It's kind of like Multiple Personality Disorder/Dissociative Identity Disorder. They're all still the WoL, but they have their own whims and egos and wills.
