"A growing light o'er all the realm
Fingers bright on highlands white
In an instance, a blade that smites the night.

But ill winds rise as the great gates yawn
Hope rides to meet what naught can cheat
An old despair astride a new-shod mare..."
Anyone else think this sounds like Odin vs Alexander? or New Odin fight alongside the release of Alexander too?

My reasoning:
"A growing light o'er all the realm" - Alexander has always been aspected with Holy

"Fingers bright on highlands white" - Alexander is usually a robot who leans forward onto his hands but has also had an incarnation as a castle (Ishgard anyone?)

"In an instance, a blade that smites the night." - Zantetsuken Odin's signature move in previous titles (and in FFXIV opening titles) he enters at night in the light of a full moon (hoping the in an instance is referring to Odin becoming more than a FATE monster)

"But ill winds rise as the great gates yawn" - In FF7 Alexander fired beams from his mouth to attack (directly in front of him) "Great gates yawn" well it wouldn't be the incarnation of alexander to be a building

"Hope rides to meet what naught can cheat" - "what naught can cheat" has to be Death right? (the effect of Zantetsuken) "Hope rides to meet" In FFXIII what was the name of the little boy who could summon Alexander? (its Hope)

"An old despair astride a new-shod mare..." - Sleipnir Odin's "mare" currently it has too few legs for Final Fantasy (much like Gilgamesh with his arms, of which we already know will be gaining more) "Shod" referring to Horse shoes gonna need them for all those new legs he will have.

or is it just me?
