I had the Endwalker song on all day on repeat at work (lucky I work in a room by myself ;-p) and mostly it was so low as to be background noise, but I would catch snatches of the lyrics every now and then...

The one that kept standing out to me was: "'Fore our echoes begin to fade."

This makes sense; logically the conclusion of Endwalker will probably have us ridding the world of both Zodiark and Hydaelyn, I think anyone who's been paying attention probably has seen that coming. However... our capital-E Echo is a gift from Hydaelyn that helps us do a lot of things - like the story flashbacks we often have, and the visual markers in battle that show us where an attack is going to land before it hits, so that we can move out of it in time.

I realize this is probably unlikely given that it would spike the skill level and probably put some people off of the game, but I did have the thought, what if this is saying that our capital-E Echo will fade away once Hydaelyn is no more and we won't have those markers in fights anymore? Suddenly we have to remember each attack from name alone... :sweats: Again, I don't think it's very likely, but on the other hand, it would also kind of make sense...
