The Echo is a mysterious power that surfaces in the midst of battle between The Garlean Empire and Eorzea. It is said to cause the souls of those touched by it to resonate with others. And of this is born the ability to relive their past experiences - to see and feel them as though they were one's own. The Students of Baldesion are a Sharlayan organization dedicated to studying this phenomenon.

The Echo

The Power to Transcend Words[ | ]

Communication across cultural boundaries is no longer hampered by language. Voices disappear and are replaced by an internal comprehension of what someone else is trying to say. On the other hand, when someone with this power speaks, everyone understands what they have said without the need for language explanation.

The Power to Transcend Time[ | ]

People that have access to this kind of Echo can go back in time and experience other people's experiences. It was once believed that transcension required being close to the memory holder, although the presence of leftover mnemonic aether can also cause third-person flashbacks.

The Power to Transcend Worlds[ | ]

There are a select few people who can speak with the planet directly by walking on the aetherial plane and manifesting Hydaelyn's own Light.

The Blessing of Light[ | ]

Blessing of Light

Hydaelyn will frequently make an effort to communicate with individuals who have the Echo. This communication may take the form of a voice, a vision, improved senses, or defenses against strong magicks. These blessings—which have been referred to as "blessings of Light"—are instances of Hydaelyn imparting Her blessing on a person.[1]
