Random thought about being ilvl synced.

^ that more or less, echo amplified memory recall, I say "echo amplified" cause every time we "remember" a fight/dungeon/trial we've already beat once before we somehow comeout of this daydream with new stuff... which u could just chalkup to ur avi "forgot" they had that until just then (which for the "forgetfull WoL" view just makes it more aparent)

It feels like when you eat too much dinner and now you have an uncomfortable pressure around your waist. You just want to release it and be yourself, but the whole family is here, watching you, judging you. So you suffer through it.

LOL that's hilarious.

When I don't have Deathflare or Gravity spam it hurts me in the feels.

For me it's nothing more then Gameplay and Story Integration. Any dungeon run past the first time is firmly in the "gameplay" category and not the "story" category. Or if I'm going back for some reason (relic weapon items, tomestones, etc.) I assume I'm always doing them "unsynced" from the story POV.

As far as it being a memory/replay of events, it would almost work like that except in parts of the story they have you go back and rerun that old content as if you were doing it for that specific task. Time travel, as far as I'm aware is not within the scope of the power the echo provides us.

As far as a comment I saw earlier suggesting that the "gather your adventurer friends" was a new thing with Stormblood, it was actually part of the 2.0 story content leading up to the assault on Cape Westwind, and then Castrum Meridianum.

What parts do you rerun old content in the story? The Guildhests and Qarn run in the 2.1 story could very well have been your first run, since they were previously optional. And the rerun of Titan is explained by the story.

The HW Anima relic weapon questline has you run ten dungeons in sequence. Only the last one, the Vault, is you "recalling" the dungeon run in your mind. Everything else is described in your journal as physically returning to the dungeons to make sure whatever enemies were in there the first time stayed down. Including Nidhogg in the Aery, for some reason.

Well, both relic quests are as cannon to the MSQ as Hildibrand is; that is to say, the MSQ affects them, but they don't really affect the MSQ.

Item level sync has nothing to do with lore, just like HP values and potency values do not. In lore you battled through a dungeon and defeated enemies, that's it. Whatever gameplay mechanics were used is just gameplay only. Some of the moves you can use in gameplay are never even mentioned in the lore, like most every stormblood action acquire, you never practiced those in the story. Is just a gameplay thing separate from story. Or think of it like you never did a dungeon more than once and all the repeat visits were just recalling events in your mind.
