*Spoilers* Anyone feel joining Emet would have been better

The issue with that is that it appears as if the 1.0 echo has been retconned rather than being ignored for its inconvenience. Keep in mind I've never played 1.0, but from what I can gather from what I've seen in this thread that most of its unique parts, like interacting with the past through the echo seems to have been dropped started in ARR. And its not like this doesn't have a precedent, during his recent Radio Mog Station interview Yoshi-P stated that as of 3.0 the devs had completely rewritten the Ascian lore from 1.0 and ARR. So its not out of the realm of possibility it was dropped like Gelmora and Silvertear appear to have been.

I think this is prolly the case. It seems that when Yoshi-p and his team took over, they essentially soft rebooted the story and completely changed it's direction in 2.0 (I also never played 1.0). They've tried to tie things together and mesh them as well as they can, often succeeding, but the original Echo might simply be a case of they didn't like that direction of it and decided to change it moving forwards. Normally game retcons like that would irk me too, but 1.0 was a bit of a special case so I'm willing to give em some wiggle room.

Gonna have to assume what we were told back in ARR, namely that the Echo works different for everybody, still applies even to the Ancients. Because what she told us doesn't exactly explain precognition abilities (which Azem seems to have).

Also, this too.
