Not really. The Echo is the Blessing of Light. Ergo anyone with the Echo can be said to be a Warrior of Light...
I mean, there's not really anything to discuss here. You can say that it's only those who are seen in memory as blinding silhouettes but I won't agree with that at all. I just see it as another title for anyone blessed by Hydaelyn. Blame Squeenix for that one.
Edit: Remember that the Warrior of Light title, in all the games in which it appears, is used specifically for anyone chosen by the crystal(s), the crystal in FFXIV being Hydaelyn Herself. Having the Echo means you were chosen, hence Warrior of Light.
But that....backwards. At least in this game. Warriors of light are more specialized Echo-bearers.Â
Let me make a comparison with something else.
Assume having the Echo is like having a dog. (generic)
Being a Warrior of Light is like have a Corgi (or some other particular breed of a dog.)
All Corgis are dogs, but all dogs aren't corgis.Â
...I'm not sure if my point's making it across anymore. But having the Echo isn't the same as being a Warrior of Light.Â
There could be plenty of people with the Echo that are scared as shit for hearing some voice in their heads telling them to "hear. feal. listen." all the time. It won't make them pick up a weapon and run towards danger.
