Our Echo doesn't have to have particular specialty either. We already see the past at convenient times, which not everyone can do, from what we know.



Where was this stated? I do not recall anything about Azem having a "signature armour" at all.

And the memory that we see the "First WoL" I don't recall being implied to be before the sundering, either. Can you back any of these assertions up?
It is possible that the game has said "we are Azem" and I'm not remembering. I just know the game "hints" at it heavy-handedly. Sort like how it's doing the same for Golbez currently. This game has a lot of context clues. Though anything from someone in the modern day, like Urianger, is meant to represent the inference of the player, since they are gaining that knowledge as we are.

The message about Azem's armor is a one off conversation in-between quests, so it's easily missed.

And the memory Elidibus has has Ancients in it, so it has to be before the sundering.

I am not trying to advocate that people have to believe me, but these are where the games context clues are leading us. And these solutions make sense given all of the information we have. Just look at Ryne, context clues made her out to be 17, but "no one" believed that. The next encyclopedia is released and guess how old she is, 17. Not everything is outright stated, the dots need to be connected.

While I'm not providing, the "answers" some people want, I am giving example of the information we have been given. But if I'm not believed, where is the information to the contrary.

We know the Echo manifests in everyone differently, we know the Echo is the remnants of the Ancients creation magicks, we know recalling the past is a common Echo ability, we know ours has some specialty, and we know Azem's specialty was the summoning of allies. So it makes sense to link all those together.

We know Elidibus idolized Azem, we know Azem traveled and help people all over, we know they fought their own battles, we know the sundered souls have vague memories of the world pre-sundered, we know Elidibus's memories we see are before the sundering, and as I said prior, a conversation in Elpis says Azem had a very unique armor they fought in. So why wouldn't all those dots connect.
