Echo (Final Fantasy XIV)

The Echo is a special ability that some rare individuals possess, and an important parte of Final Fantasy XIV's storyline. Those that have been 'gifted', as the members of the Path of the Twelve calls it, have the power to resonate with other people's souls - and see their past, albeit not able to interfere or change it.

It is revealed on the third quest of the main storyline of all city-states that the player character has been 'gifted' with the echo. Upon discovering this, he is called to the Merchant Wards of Ul'dah where he is invited to join the Path of the Twelve. The true nature and origins of the Echo are currenly unkown.

The power of the echo is used on all class quests. Therefore, even if a player reaches rank 20, he is unable to begin any class quest before finishing the fourth main storyline quest.
