For those of us who have been waiting for any sort of solid evidence of Act III, wait no longer! I just found out about the Protomen dropping an Act III song at PAX. WATCH HERE:

I'm digging it fairly well. I had some reservations when it first began, but quickly began enjoying myself immensely. The female narrator gives credence to those "Daughter of Hope" subtitle/theme theories, as well. Musically, it definitely feels like the latter part of Act II: Father of Death, or the entirety of Act I: Sons of Fate (well, other than "Unrest in the House of Light"), with no jazz or folk influences immediately evident.
In any case, I can barely understand the words, but can catch that the female narrator (Roll, presumably?) is hoping for the return of Megaman, or some other hero, to finally put a stop to Wily's dystopia.
For those who know nothing of the Protomen (unlikely on here, but possible!):
The Protomen are a progressive glam rock synth jazz folk concept album thing band that has created a fictional dystopian world loosely based on the Megaman universe. A combination of Orwell, Atlas Shrugged, and Megaman has led to two albums of deep thematic resonance and aural awesomensss. Bathe in the musical nirvana here (http://www.protomen.com/), at their main website page, where you can listen to (and download!) a gamut of nine songs from both Act I and Act II.
