One of the somber and emotional tracks in Shadowbringers is called "Tears in the Rain". It's often played when Emet-Selch relays the tales of the old society of the Ascians.
At the very end of the game, as we defeat Hades, he has one last request for us: "Remember us. Remember that we once lived". It's a plea to not let the memories of the splendor of the Ascian society before the sundering be forgotten.
In Blade Runner, the film adaptation of the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", there's a famous soliloquy at the very end of the film. Right after saving the protagonist Deckard, the dying android Roy Batty says:
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
I can't help but see the parallels here. What do you think? Coincidence or intentional reference?
