whenever the Echo comes back as a plot element in ff14 it's like bring reminded that yu-gi-oh used to be about something other than card game duels. Like. Oh right, that legacy plot beat that we use in place of flashbacks is here (except when we just have normal flashbacks instead). There hasn't been a new npc who has the echo introduced in like 5 years but it remains nonetheless, a vestigal narrative element that no longer has a giant web of worldbuilding anchoring it because they spent two expansions violently pulling that stuff up by the roots. And yet here it is. Facilitating flashback scenes. Because that's what it does. It's just very funny to me.

For a second they had me fooled they were going to do something with it when Venat teaches us how to trigger the echo on purpose while we are in Elpis
isn't it also supposed to be the canonical explanation for why the player can see enemy attacks coming too
