I don't know why you would suddenly say the main story quest cutscenes are "gameplay" and not "lore" (seriously, isn't THAT backwards?), but the game is very clear and unambiguous about this.
It's POSSIBLE that there is some nobody who got the Echo but never had the chops to pick up arms to begin with. It's also POSSIBLE that Hydaelyn would never choose such an individual to obtain the Echo in the first place. All we have to go on is what's actually in the game, and what's actually in the game strongly suggests that anyone with the Echo is a Warrior of Light by default, including player characters who were not created in 1.0.
I don't even know why you are so adamant about Legacy players being special here. They're not. Warrior of Light is not limited to them and them exclusively. This isn't arguable.
It is going nowhere. This will be my last post on the matter. We can take it up in PMs or something, if there's anything left to continue on.
And I believe we're having a serious case of arguing different topics or something. I'm trying to say that 1.0 players not not special at all. They are all not WoL. Mine certainly wasn't, and that was shown in gameplay.
While the game might suggest that most Echo-enabled people become WoL (by either the 1.0 or 2.0 definition), it also suggests that Hydaelin might have just spun a wheel of fortune and said "these are the people I'll pick." Nowhere does the official lore that SE's given us state that all people with the Echo will become WoL. We know that all WoL in the 2.0 sense have the Echo. We know that most, if not all 1.0 WoL have the Echo (but it wasn't a requirement. There could have been some non-adventurers at the battle), but there's nothing to stop some random guy who was fighting in Mor Dhona at the time from also being sent through time and forgotten.
