That's where he knowledge ends. From the moment we return to the present, Hydaelyn has no knowledge whatsoever about what comes next. This is why Hydaelyn fought us, to test both our strength and resolve, and to see that we, the inhabitants of Etherys, can survive on our own without her guiding hand.
Her action is definitely a gamble. Something even y'sthola said it was. She met one strong sundered person, then decided to bet the future of humanity to that person plus seven other people. She is lucky EW is so deep in shounen anime trope that the protagonists can defeat literall endbringer, who accumulated despair for 12k years across the stars, via friendship power.

I can't believe I like tales of arise ending better than EW.
