So in shadowbringers they canonized how we just randomly summon in 7 other people to join us in fights.

Did they just do a similar thing with dawntrail with how our individual characters operate?

Both cahciua and sephene are shown to be remotely controlling avatars from another reflection. Nostalgia shows the reverse is possible.

I am remotely controlling my character from my couch. So is our WOL just some random citizen of Eorzea we leap into/body snatch and when we log out they just slump on the floor lifeless or just return to being some nameless faceless background NPC until we login again?

Imagine that lore drop one day when your hanging out with the scions and they have this world ending problem with no possible solution and you can just go, it’s alright I’m really from “The real world” we can fix this.

Would also be an insane way to crossover with other video games, one series specifically…. But that’s a whole other game of spoilers.
