Foreign Invasion

[sidurgu-12]

The Warrior of Light's usage and skill in the Echo in universe can be more or less summed up as: "This power of mine responds to a need, not a desire."

I'd have thought the likelihood of us ever truly becoming "proficient" in the Echo was made clear when in the tail end of Stormblood the most we could do with it after all that we'd been though up to that point was a shitty bubble shield made of equally thin and insubstantial aether. But, that's what you get when your dear Mother Sunders every soul in the world without consent. Humanity becomes collectively less awesome.

Edit: Also, most of the "cooler" powers and abilities we'd seen the Echo facilitate up to that point are abilities seen as "evil" by the bumbling populace, like Ascian body-surfing.

are you talking about the fight against lakshmi with fordolas help? if so that was the travelers ward in action.

How weird, then. Thought that was Mother's magic, not ours. Smells me a RETCON, I do. No really, actually go back and watch the scene. We put our hand up in an awesome power pose and everything. It was clearly intended to appear as though we were directing the flow of the aether off our unshielded comrades. This "Traveler's Ward" you speak of is not our magick, and cast on us without our foreknowledge or consent. Hardly something we have acute control over.
