Do you not understand red herrings and how they work in writing? 5.5 was written while EW was almost done with development and in fact proves even more so that it was intentional. They didn't "forget" about anything, the full of rage was meant to be him controlling Zodiark to wreaking havoc but he wasn't able to nor was it Fandaniel's plan. It was a fake out, and the game is very aware of that
