Bungie has always referred to the world of Destiny as [i]"A world with hope."[/i] They've stated that while yes, The City is the final bastion of humanity, and that so much has been lost, they didn't want the player to feel hopeless nor have the game feel too depressing.
I created this thread to ponder with my fellow Guardians the phrase, "[i]A World with Hope."[/i] What do you all think this means for Destiny as a game? Perhaps from a gameplay and narrative perspective?
Bungie, if you are ready to clarify, what does this mean for the game's story progression, the feel of the solar system, the feel of our Guardians? Maybe even the music of Destiny?
For me, I've always taken the phrase, "A world with hope" to carry the same feeling as The Lord of the Rings series, where darkness had fallen on man, but there was always hope throughout it all. In the movies, the soundtrack would introduce themes by playing darker tunes while following up with lighter-hearted pieces such as "Concerning Hobbits," or "The Return of the King" to perfectly bring the feeling of triumph and victory home at the end. If it is anything like that, color me excited.
What do you guys think?

It could simply mean that with all the evil and darkness that has befallen the human race dose not mean that it is the end, there is hope, a light in the darkness. That the hope of mankind are the Guardians, or that there is hope found within the confines of the universe of Destiny. We must decide what to do with the time that is given to us. Hope some of this made sense.
