@@UltaFlame Some sections of Shadowbringers seem to correspond to some sections of Tomorrow and Tomorrow.

Shadowbringers:
"We fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, unto the end"
Tomorrow and Tomorrow:
"Stand tall, my friend
May all of the dark deep inside you find light again
This time, tumbling, turning we make amends
Eternal winds from the land ascend
Here to lift us that we won't end"

Shadowbringers:
"One world's end
Our world's end
Our end
We won't end"
Tomorrow and Tomorrow:
"Pray don't forget us, your bygone kin
With one world's end does a new begin
And should our souls scatter unto the wind
Still we shall live on"

One brings shadow (Emet/Hades, HE LITERALLY BLANKETS THE ARENA IN SHADOWS and brings "shades" to fight you, he is the SHADOWBRINGER)
One brings light (You are the warrior of light, you're full of light after absorbing the lightwardens, you "expose" Emet and his creations, and the history of the realm, the lyrics even say "You are the light")
Threescore wasted, ten cast aside (3 unsundered Ascians, Emet, Eldibus & Lahabrea who survived the final days. 10 cast aside are the other ascians in the council of 13)
One dark future, no one survives (The future being the rejoining that ascians have long sought for, where most would die if it were to occur)
Home... Riding home... (Expresses the Ascians' plight in restoring their home)
Forged in fury, tempered in ice (likely describing HW, Nidhogg's fury and Shiva's ice)
Hindmost devils, early to rise (likely describing our plight in Stormblood)
Heaven’s banquet leavened with lies (describing our journey to Eulmore, everyone eats despite not knowing what exactly they were eating)
Sating honor, envy, and pride (Ranjeet, Titania and Innocence)

I've seen a couple people do small lyrical analysis here so I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring as well. This is my passion and my favorite song to boot.
To start "One Brings Shadow, One Brings Light" is resembling the WoL and Ardbert. Each Warriors of Light and Darkness in both worlds.
"Two toned echos tumbling through time" Both WoL and Arbert had to transcend their world and also the time differences between.
"One dark future no one survives" Referring to Uriange's vision about the very calamity we're travelling to The First to prevent.
"Here proud angels bathe in their wages of blood" I believe this means the Sin Eaters as many of their designs look like that of angels.
"At this the world's end do we cast off tomorrow" When all life is threatening to succumb to the light, only now do we take up arms to fight against fate.
"One brings shadow, one brings light, To this riddle all souls are tied" Ardbert and WoL did merge into one soul and Emet did say that we were all pieces of former Ascians
"Heaven's banquet leavened with lies" Referring to Eulmore and how it seems like paradise but underneath it all is more repulsive than anywhere else
"Sating honor, envy, and pride" Defeating Ranjeet, Titania, and Innocence respectively
"Home, Riding Home" I believe is reflecting on how despite the WoL being free to travel, all throughout ShB there's this underlying urgency to settle things in the First so that our friends can go home (I think it lines up with a line in A Long Fall/eScape "Come ride heroes ride" which is fittingly played while battling through the Crystal Tower in The Twinning)
"One more chapter we've yet to write" This is speculation but this could be foreshadowing for EndWalker being the last expansion in the Zodiark/Hydaelyn arc. Soken has forshadowed like this before, hiding Omega's theme in Azys Lla's theme.
and finally two lyrics together "Run from the light" and "You are the light" meaning that Ardbert is most likely the darkness in the repeated lyrics

Sorry for boring anyone who reads this. I'm always open to hearing more! Tl;Dr One Brings Shadow, One Brings Light. You and Ardbert!

"Case in point─I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you."
Best villain in this whole game, by far.

@PAcifisti

Well, technically the main villains behind the entire storyline up to Shadowbringers. Most of it was either direct or indirect Ascian scheme. Every other villain was for all intents and purposes, a puppet.

@hristopavlov298

@@PAcifisti Ascians were flat one dimensional villains that a brilliant female writer redesigned retrospectively in Shadowbringers. It is disingenuine to say that Ascians were the true villains beforehand, when the primals were made to have different agendas and even direct opinions/relationships with the Blessing of Light. Which as of EW has been softly dropped out of the story.

@PAcifisti

@@hristopavlov298 I know the change in main writer. That still doesn't mean they didn't have some sort of plotline prepared for them. Yoshi said that they're writing 3 expansions ahead to have a somewhat coherent storyline. Even if they originally didn't have this grand plotline, with hindsight we now know what the final plot was. This makes Ascians the worst villain of ARR, even though IMO they would've been that just purely on ARR story. They were the hardest to kill and had very nasty intentions & ways to do things. We already knew in ARR that they were involved in Garlean politics.

Also, blessing of light hasn't been as much dropped but rather refined. It was our own strength of will pushing us on rather than the blessing of light. Hydaelyn supported and buffed us when needed, but she began to run out of power to do so towards the end.

@hristopavlov298

@@PAcifisti Spot on - to have a somewhat coherent story.

No she didn't. She crystalbathed her ass saving her power to 1 v 1 us in Endwalker. She literally didn't bat an eye on the 7th Umbral Calamity and let the world end and for you to die. If not for a technology made of imaginary primal machine in time stasis and an alien machine that allowed exactly 1 catboy and 1 crystal tower to travel exactly 100 years ago in exactly this one place, she would have failed miserably because the girl felt like chilling. Oh and you fought one of the most powerful ascians in the convocation of 14 as a dungeon boss in ARR, fused with yet another lower ascian who gave us an old retconned explanation of what the echo is.

@PAcifisti

@@hristopavlov298 Yes and no. It's more complex than that if you remember the story. She told us that it was taking more and more of her power to hold back the more Calamities passed, meaning that her available power to do other things than just to hold on was vanishing. That's why she stopped communicating with us for a long time, and why the communications at the start of EW were short.

Also, she didn't just sit still for nothing. Remember the story? We met her in the past and told her what was going to happen. She was left with the foreknowledge of big future events, like the amount of calamities and where the world would be at the end of it. We told (at least the broad strokes) to Venat even before she became Hydaelyn. It was then left to her to follow this bitter script through.

To make the mankind able to wield dynamis effectively and not give in to despair, the world had to be both sundered and go through a lot of hardships and suffering. That, together with the knowledge of Azem's reincarnation after the 7th calamity being a very hardy & stubborn fighter being able to wield dynamis was effectively her plan. Our journey and the unlikely events like the catboys journey to the first wasn't a lucky chance, but rather something she knew beforehand.

I'm glad I've seen the lyrics now, because before I could only hear the third line as "Two toed geckos tumbling through time" and I thought, "well that can't be right, can it...?"

@Kibetha

Well now I'm never going to be able to unhear that, thanks 😂

@SpoiltLittlePrincess

You are, in fact, correct. It's the video that is wrong!

@shironeko6235

OH MAN! LOL
