According to the lore, all of the dungeons/primals/etc. that you do are done a single time. Titan HM is when you kill him after the kobolds summon him after his first defeat. Titan EX is when you kill him after the kobolds resummon him a second time. It's not like Titan is just sitting there, waiting for adventuring party after adventuring party to fight him.

The lore operates under the assumption that there is only one group of adventurers called the Warriors of the Light so you can't use Echo to explain the practice.

The Minstrel sings songs about your previous accomplishments and embellishes them (which is why it is harder/different). It wouldn't make sense for the Minstrel to sing a song about a fight you haven't yet completed, especially if it's a fight that you need practice for.

The only lore explanation I could see would be some kind of fortune-teller/oracle type NPC who sends you into a trance that gives you a chance to live out encounters in your near future. The trance could even have said fortune-teller/oracle NPC inside there in order to guidel the trance so that you can choose the different phases/start points.
