It's not out of the question that there are multiple people who are blessed with the echo, let alone being a chosen of Hyadelyn (since Y'sayle is one herself). The other explaination is that there is a singular warrior of light, and the player character is reliving their experiences through the echo.
According to the canon of the story, it is only you that takes on these fights. Even in Prae, when you all gather to take down Lahabrea when he's posessing Thancred, you don't see your party with you, you see yourself and the scions. The fact that in story cutscenes you are ALWAYS alone, and are referred to has the the "one" who defeated so-and-so is evidence in it's own. Even Alph says that he wasn't aware of anyone else who could take on the primals, and was shocked to see the WoD do so. Why would that be the case if adventurers like us were a dime a dozen?

Your taking game mechanics too seriously. It's like saying, because our character can survive a spear through the chest in gameplay, that we would be able to do so in a cutscene as well.
