#City Walls is not the final ending

Doesn't necessarily mean there will be more to the story musically but maybe another mv or other lore thing

  • Intentions Truce ending:
    Vialism teaches "self destruction is the way to paradise" meanwhile Truce tells us to stay alive, try again, take pride in what is sure to die

  • IAC/IATB:
    both talk about the bishops' seizing power feeding the cycle, maybe Clancy's ability to seize also allows him to be corrupted & he has to give it up to be redeemed

TB also says "this time he trusts us" but City Walls doesn't seem to align with that

  • FPE Letters/HDS Incident Report
    rebel citizens are absent in City Walls despite the fact we have a transmission from Eliot alongside the HDS report

bandito letters showed a primarily negative view of their memories of Dema, the bishops, Vialism and yet we've been shown that these banditos somehow became bishops

lack of payback on the worldbuilding in FPE letters (ancient vialist texts, alchemy, cave drawings, etc.)

  • Breach Digital Remains
    the propagandized posters in DR (is this your hero?, Vialism Kills, etc.)

  • Tour || bandito camp flyers + flashlight project||
    crew is dispersing ||bandito recruitment flyers and asking for red and yellow torches to create the flame to light TB's path as he walks to mainstage/dema with a lit torch and flag containing the signatures of fans to remind Clancy of his people||

  • Switching from Mirror Clancy to Always shirt
    mirror Clancy = retrospective/flashback, Always = looking forward/trying again like TB says in City Walls

  • Finding Clancy
    how did you find 15398642_14?

"He's out there somewhere"

Drag Path lyrics

  • Other Loose Ends:
    shirt codes (seldom surface, no kin, do you feel feef at home, is this really you) have not turned up yet

no explanation of TB's guiding ability outside of the Clancy livestream

no payback for "together we create an inferno"/Dema burning imagery

no definitive "last" BF tweet

TB theme is now in multiple music videos but not officially in any audio tracks

I think the same thing, I think we will get another possible shadow dropped song, this time on streaming.

Since most of the song lyrics we’ve found through digital remains 1 have been released (doubts demo I think and now drag path) I think it’s possible that we get something like graffiti and that actually have torchbearers theme as the main backing track

#

Another thing to note is that the TB theme in the “I am Torchbearer” video is way more advanced and fleshed out than every other iteration, it almost sounds like a war anthem honestly. I think the ending might be nearly the same, but there is definitely gotta be something with all of the other build up we’ve gotten.

We at least need to know what those codes in the shirts were about, there's no way that was nothing

i like this theory there are so many loose ends i feel like there has to be something else coming especially with the fpe exhibit coming back

I'm being delusional about
TB info card saying "A light that never dims"
and the tour ||bandito flyers saying "a flame that will never be extinguished"||
and they're having tb carry ||a flag with bandito names (fan signature) into dema every night||
going back for clancy like he said in IATB with more banditos supporting him every time

This might be somewhat interesting: I went to look for the drag path lyrics on the genius website and apparently the label told them to take down the lyric page

I think an epilogue video after tour could definitely happen. Maybe a drag path video and streaming release
