Certainly possible, but considering the attention to detail so far, I can't subscribe to that theory (unless we get confirmation).

I'm leaning more toward that Y'shtola, Derplander and other members of the Path of the Twelve have the Echo ability, but our character is different. All those folk presume our ability is the same as theirs, but it's a little different due in the main to the intervention of Hydaelyn at the start of the game.

Did our character actually pop into existence at that moment? (certainly possible for the Grid start, easily overlooked in a busy cabin in Limsa's, less likely as one of three on a caravan in Ul'dah's, so perhaps not)
