It's a farce to suggest that the world as it currently exists is a bastion of Light, unless you come up with some really screwball definition of what "light" is. The world is not full to saturation with "good", "order", or even "illumination". Or if it is, then the bar of "balance" is set so low that a "balanced" world would be a truly horrible place in which to live.

No, if a catastrophe of Light is on the horizon it won't be because of what the WoL has done, and probably won't be because of what the WoL WILL do. My guess is that the big hint came with Solus and his mutterings about the Black Rose "bonding with Light". I suspect that the BR will be used in some fashion which unleashes an uncontrollable wave of Light across the world.

So, basically, it will be the Asican's fault. As usual.

Regardless, whoever is at at fault, it'll be the WoL's job to clean up, also as usual. Because Light is the problem, the WoL will embrace the Dark - and thus will a χ-blade be created, the final piece in my plan to unlock KINGDOM HEARTS and rule ALL THE WORLDS! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The problem with this is that Hydaelyn is the weakest she's been in thousands of years - a deliberate result of the Ascians forcing her hand to protect the Warrior of Light on multiple occasions - saving us from Ultima being the blow that finally rendered her effectively impotent. The whole reason she recruited Minfilia as her Emissary is that she was no longer strong enough to even TALK to us directly. No, Hydaelyn is definitely not "too powerful" - just the opposite!
