Which would fit in with the echo telling us the telegraph information by sensing the shift in the flow of aether as the Robot/Machina rerouts power to perform its various attacks. Probably even easier to see then the subtle shifts in living beings.
Doesn't explain anything made by Omega though since like Alpha (prior to the end of the raid story) all the enemies we fought would have had no soul as well just as Alpha did not and thus we couldn't understand him. I say this as someone who is fine with the Echo giving us some sort of warning/premonition to these attacks and other people like Trusts also dodging is do to the fact they have enough combat exp to be able to notice as well.

Note that our main Scion allies (IE Trust buddies) do NOT have the Echo, with the possible exception of Ryne. She 99% for sure has it due to her circumstances but she has yet to get an Echo vision like we have. Sure to be an interesting time when she finally gets that, hopefully it won't be like 1.0 Ul'Dah players.
