    As the redditor who came up with these, I'm just now finding out from the comment section that it's supposed to be just gibberish but... honestly I struggle to believe that? So much lines up so well as actual words that if it's really gibberish, the coincidence is incredible. The thought makes me a little sad given all the time I spent trying to figure it out, but it would also be kind of amazing? I'm mostly still just kinda disappointed tbh lmao

      Incorrect. Zodiark was the will of Etheirys made manifest, borne of the ancients' _desperation._ If they'd had hope, there would have been less blasphemies, but ultimately their life free of tragedy left them ill-equipped to handle a catastrophe such as this.
      Zodiark didn't _stop_ anything, either. His power forcefully caused the ambient aether to move, preventing the Endsinger's dynamis from penetrating to Etheirys's surface.
      It's nothing to do with hope - it's simply a band-aid solution.

      Well, keeping the end of everything at bay is pretty much hope for those who were seeing the death of their world.
      Plus zodiark was truly born from hope. We know that from hydaelus and elidibus. They sacrificed themselves with the hope that their creation would save their brethren. Which it did.
      The other sacrificed themselves in hope that zodiark could restart life of aethyris, which he did. And them his followers wanted to sacrifice some of that life in the hope of seeing their loved ones again.
      Even after the sundering, hope is what define zodiark. The ascians wish for him to give them back their brethren in hope of seeing the life they lost back to them.
      And when we hear the souls that compose zodiark on the moon, hope is what holds them together. Hope for the salvation of the world, and hope for their own restauration.

    I just realized that green is the color of wind (aero for example). The three beams are green which means those are wind-aspected aether. So ya, they really thought out these encounters.

Fighting him at this point in the game while on discord with my friends made us all go silent and say “…if he isn’t the problem then who is?” And I loved that.

      That way when the Lopporits give you their explination it feels more natural in the progression of the story and you can shift to that thought of finding out what caused it a bit easier.

    • @AyaKho
      @AyaKho 2 місяці тому +3

      Fandaniel's desire to see Zodiark dead was established almost as soon as he was introduced in post-ShB. Zodiark's summoning to avert the final days was established in ShB. It really wasn't all that sudden and it wasn't that hard to put two-and-two together. Dynamis is established as a force and device almost immediately in the story during the level 80 split-off quests.
      The only two missing pieces of the puzzle by this point are "what is causing the final days?" and "is there a someone behind it?"
      I don't really see how events foreshadowed an entire expansion in advance can be interpreted as "out of nowhere."

    E'er our vows endure, and remain forever strong
    Standing tall in the dark do we carry on
    On wings of hope, you rise up through the night higher, oh higher
    Carrying our song, cradled fast within your arms

    "Hail the darkness hidden inside, hidden in all of you On wings of faith, your rise up through the night. Our Lord Zodiark Carry on our home. All of us knew, our perfect world let the chorus of hope take all"
    Matches so perfectly with the part I refer to as Endwalkers unofficial/Sharlayan theme from the intro aka the
    "Our song of hope, she dances on the wind. Higher, oh higher. E'er our vows endure and remain forever strong. Standing tall in the dark do we carry on. On wings of hope, you rise up through the night, Higher, oh higher. Carrying our song. Cradled fast within your arms. That it's chorus might ring for all.
    The EW intro then transitioning into Shadowbringers with:
    "One brings shadow, one brings the light, two toned-echoes tumbling through time. Tumbling down to the never"
    Brings it to its conclusion. Two God's, both born of the same cloth, both borne out of Hope for a future, one steeped in death, one steeped in life.

    I don't think the song actually has "lyrics." A lot of composers like to just take latin phonemes and make it sound like there's lyrics being sung - usually only for chorale compositions like this.
    Elden Ring and Bloodborne do that a lot, with Bloodborne actually having quite a few songs with real latin words, but otherwise the lyrics are just nonsense because it sounds really, really fricken cool, and it's cheaper to compose.
    Can't say for sure if that's what this is, but if they never release official lyrics, that's my guess.
