We're just mere adventurers -- we may have 'echo', but we're still just mere adventurers, not a god/goddess or world savior (yet) nor anything special at this point in time, but the storyline is also changing.

In the grand scheme of things we don't know the full storyline, but like most FF games, we're just regular people starting out (even look at XIII, they didn't really get 'badass' till after they've been branded.)
