I think the face is just a thing. it was meaningful in the GBA version, but not this.
The character thoughts change, I think, on every single level on the Moon - but no, I don't think you missed any major cutscenes. A lot of the stuff in their thoughts is just progressively getting more and more effed up the deeper they go, because of Zeromus.
The best way to fight Zeromus is this:
1) Don't use the Crystal. 2) Have Rosa and Cecil cast Protect and Shell on everyone, and Haste on Edge. Nobody does anything offensive until step 3 is accomplished. 3) Have Edge Steal until he gets a Dark Matter. This can sometimes take up to 20 turns (augh) but it makes life EVER SO MUCH EASIER. 4) Use the Crystal. 5) Commence beatdown.
It's worth noting that Rydia's best use in this battle is spamming Meteor and Bahamut, while you want Rosa with Doublecast if at all possible spamming Curaja while Cecil stabs. Whoever has the Bless augment should use that early on. Equipping Phoenix is also helpful if you got that Augment. (I put Bless, Phoenix, and Darkness all on Kain and then had him jump repeatedly which was heinously effective.) Edge can throw stuff, hit things, use Items, whatever somebody more specialized is not doing.
Have you fought all the optional bosses to get all the sexy weapons?
