    Thanks for that, god it has been a long time lol

    Reading it again and I'm still not seeing confirmation that it is in fact time travel as in the actual act of physically teleporting backwards in time. I see the contention over the flintlock and the question of bringing items INTO echo memories and that's definitely a sticking point and seems to have not yet been answered.

    Those two entries put under conflicting information ("...experience the past, interact with it, but ultimately not change the outcome of anything important..." versus "You will be there in their memories, seeing things as they saw them. You may even interact with that which lies therein. However, the past is like a stone tablet. You cannot uncarve what is already written.") are saying the same thing unless you hang on Koji not using the word memory in his explanation.

    But putting that aside, and getting back to the original comment that spurred this discussion, they wouldn't have to portray the Echo as they did in 1.0 (where it was presented in a jumbled interpretive narrative mess at the time) and just have it work cleanly like it does now. After all, how many of those sidequests are important to the throughline of Dalamud and the Calamity which is what I would expect a remaking of that time period to be.

    Loving this discussion by the way, it's a nice change from the usual fare here
