To be fair, I don't think that's valid about Nanamo since we didn't really even know about the LIGHT and DARK being the main conflict till much later - I mean as the REAL story. It could have been about Uldah and it succumbing to Garlean influence for all we knew back then. Our main focus was the dragonsong war. All the hydaelyn stuff was dripped in the background, and the Ascians were still Kingdom Hearts rejects that spoke mysteriously.
