ShB story did not go the way I thought it would. (Spoilers)

[Abomination713]

So before the game came out, all I knew was that light was taking over the first and it was the enemy. The Warriors of Darkness defeated the dark and now only light remained which almost destroyed their whole world. So I thought in this expansion the main enemy was going to be Hydaelyn. The trailer even said she was a primal. I was sure she was trying to absorb the first for her own power. We would have to fight her and in doing so she would take away the echo she had given us for protection so we would be defenseless. How would we fight against her and her forces without the echo? An artificial echo. That's how. It's been twice before with Zenos and the Bandit woman who's name I forget. Getting that and teaming up with the Ascians would be how we push back Hydaelyn and saved the first. We learn that from the beginning we have been a pawn for a god that is nothing more than a superior elder primal and their goal has always been to completely wipe out Zodiark so that she could take everything. After everything is done we learn that the light can not live without the dark. It's a balancing act and if one side gets too much of a hold, they will take everything.

Obviously none of this happened but it was fun thinking up how the story would go before the expansion came out. The story was great, but I'm still a sad it didn't have anything that I thought it would.

EDIT: I may not have all the lore correct, but you kinda get what I'm trying to say.
