Minstrel's Song from The Rising

[WinterSolstice]

Gah, now I wanna log back in to remember what his words were. I remember the part about a great gate groaning but that's about it off the top of my head. That part refers to the Gates of Judgement, leading to Ishgard. Pretty sure on that.

It's for sure Ishgard. We've already gotten a view of the Archbishop of Ishgard (Cutscene shows the Archbishop on his throne, and we see Lahabrea and Elidibus on either side of him). Yoshi has also clearly stated, along with other devs, that we'd be going to Ishgard in the future. I for one can't wait, it's about time for the world to get a bit bigger ^^

The final line.. I think of Odin for some reason. But it could be that it is referring to the Ishgardian Holy See (the old guy we see surrounded by Ishgardian Knights).

I thought of Odin at first as well, but that seems too easy. It might be referring to the fact that the Ascians are manipulating the Archbishop, hence an old threat masquerading as a new one?
