why during cutscene its always like this ... (small spoiler)

[Delily]

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.

I could have sworn that in the Prae, the opening cut scene was you flying on the airship with your party. I believe with the exception of the primal fights, the NPCs usually say "gather your comrades and go forth." Even for the primals, it's always a stretch me to think we did it by ourselves. The Company of Heros all had the Echo, so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect we'd have attracted a core group of warriors who also have the Echo, but are not associated with the Scions.

In 1.0, the Path of the Twelve was Minfilia's organization, where everyone had The Echo. Presumably, most of them were killed during the Calamity, or went into hiding, or were later killed by the Garleans when Waking Sands was attacked. But the echo, while uncommon, is not super incredibly rare.

Personally, I think the Echo is a lot more common than we're told, whereas the Blessing of Light is very rare. I think only the WoL, Shiva, and Krile have it. The cut scenes also mere the 2 together when they seem to be very distinct. As far ask I know, we've only used the Blessing twice?
