The echo might also affect our uncanny efficiency with job stones, though I admit this is pure speculation.

Shadowbringers muddied this point a bit with the revelation that we are more whole of a pre-sundered person than most people and are souls are more aetherically dense. Even without the benefit of the blessing or echo, we have more going on than everyone else and it’s likely that’s why we were chosen. Plus all the insinuation that we summoned Hydaelyn ourself and that every WoL throughout history and across the multiverse is us, over and over.

This revelation plus Emet admitting that he’s tempered kind of puts a damper on deeper, nuanced meanings to the story and people are citing moral relativism in a story that I believe is more black and white and is leans towards predestined fate.
