Ultimate Super OMG Theory:


Ascilia is Minfilia. Their names are VERY similar. They both have the same light blue eyes and blonde hair. The theory that some years have passed since the Warburton/Corguevais/Niellefresne, is strengthened with Ascilia as a Hyur aging into Minfilia. Damielliot is a sickly Elezen, and Elezen age very slowly so he does not age as rapidly as a Hyur does.

When you bump into Minfilia outside the Thaumaturge guild, you talk to her and she responds with:
She remembers Thancred from her younger days and it clearly shows that Thancred at the time was not in Ul'dah, lending more credit to everything being an Echo of the past. Also after she answers you, the Echo begins and Thancred appears. There are 2 people, whom both have witnessed the Echo and not counting Niellefresne because he's dead, who respond to you during your Echo jumps within the Echo: Thancred and Ascilia. So the 2 people who have a history of dealing with the Power of the Echo, both have the ability to sense and interact with you inside the Echo.

/deepbreath. Then in the Faded to White quest Tataru says this: We saw what happened because we were able to Echo jump within the Echo to see what happened through the eyes of Ascilia and the Gem within Heartstrike.

I do like this theory, although it does open a new can of worms about the nature of the echo.
