I don't buy the echo theory because, as far as we've seen, you can only use it once at a time. By that I mean, while you are using echo you cannot currently use echo again to go further back. There is no precedent for a multi-level echo existing. Thus we cannot already be using echo as we use it in the current story. Plus it would be pretty lazy and kind of a cop-out. If they were really going to use an echo theory, why even go along with this whole Dalamud bit? Just say, well it was all an echo from a long time ago, the landscape has changed since.

Honestly that theory, if it was right, would kill any motivation I actually have to try and do the events to "stop" Dalamud. I mean if we're using echo then the events set in motion will happen no matter what, we cannot change them. Hate fate, it denies free will.

I'm still going with the, we destroy Dalamud but pieces of it still rain down upon Eorzea which changes the landscape, theory.

I do agree that we are not in an echo inside an echo....
no echo-ception here

But in FFVIII, didn't Ultemecia use her "echo" to go back into someone else so she could use that person's "Echo" to go even further back?

So what if you use the echo on me to go back into my past and someone in my past also has echo powers which you harness to re-echo?

Thats all foolishness of course, just thought it fit in with the whole "Mind Blown" theme of this thread

Are you sure...because I'm seeing it just fine

Better?

So Aether = lifestream and Dalamud = meteor?

And "Echo" = Ellone.

Where Laguna is?

So Aether = lifestream and Dalamud = meteor?

plus

And "Echo" = Ellone.

equals

Actually the plan to bring Dalamud down using Allagan tech was codenamed "Meteor" by the Garleans... That is what was confusing a lot of people

Yea.. it doesn't show up for me in post #159 either
#164 shows the image... #159 does not

[Alerith]

What if you use the power of the Echo to teleport Dalamud back in time, to the point where it crashes on the Empire like it says in the storyline?
