It may have been whoever or whatever gave us the echo had decided (sentient?) that "you need to see this". While the Derplander's party was already woken by the echo, perhaps Fate saw fit to intervene in a simmilar way?

Or maybe the CG animation was locked down before the rules of the echo were finalized...
The CGI team made two outcomes for the 1.0 intro tho i assume it happened at the same time...why they decided to do it so differently?... from Derplander dining at Limsa Lominsa with the Elezen male and the Miqo'te to Derplander walking/exploring into Silver Tear Lake with the Elezen female and the Roegadyn AND not Lalafell female to be seen ..unless she was asleep on the chocobo....then Derplander has a sudden echo that takes him to the party that just walked into Mor Dhona with him ..he has the Greatsword at Limsa Lominsa and he has the Greatsword walking into Mor Dhona but he doesn't have it in the echo because hes an Archer then the story changes again they go from watching the dragons take down juggernauts to battling a Morbol and Derplander been scooped by a Juggernaut THEN once again story changed as the Elezen ,Goegadyn and now including Lalafell witness the rain of fire of the battle from the same spot earlier they walked in with the Derplander w/o the Lalafell ... i'm confused @_@;;
