Reinterpreting Answers after Shadowbringers

[Enkidoh]

The thing to remember is (and this fits into what Moose said), is that Answers was written specifically for the original 1.0 story (1.0's original concept/story was also written by a team member who no longer works for SE), where current revelations and concepts in the story... actually did not exist or where at least had not yet been developed in any really meaningful way (Zodiark did not exist at all, there was no 'Blessing of Light'/'Warriors of Light'/'Crystals of Light', the whole Source/Shards split did not exist, the Ascians were limited to just two mysterious beings with virtually no explanation, the Allag were just a mysterious name given to a ruined road in Thanalan and strange runestones that Rowena was being paid to find, Hydaelyn's very existence was hinted at vaguely but never outright named, even Dalamud was originally planned to be a final dungeon the player was meant to travel to, according to Yoshi), so sadly it is too much of a stretch to try and retcon these new recent story concepts into Answers' melancholy lyrics.

Lets not also forget the development already revealed ages ago that the meaning of Answers is simply a call and response between the adventurer and Hydaelyn and the struggles they face in an unforgiving world and remaining resolute even in the face of certain death and destruction.

Having said that however, it is vague enough to fit in new ideas fairly easily without 'breaking' the pre-existing meaning so I don't know. I guess I'm happy with the original meaning and don't need to re-examine it any further based on new information from Shadowbringers.
