Does the Echo still allow for adventurers to understand foreign languages? Is this still part of the lore or was it scrapped/1.0-only? Do most of you RP the Echo? I saw this was asked before in a much older thread, but wanted to get the current status.
Per 1.0 lore, the Echo did not grant the ability to understand all languages to everyone. In fact, it seemed limited to a very select few. (ie. the Player Character and his/her Path Companion - NOT Minfilia) However, in 2.0 the Echo appears to grant everyone the ability of full-comprehension. (ie. the Player Character and Minfilia who may or may not be the only canon surviving Echo users.)
So either Minfilia learned to speak Sylphic and Ascian in the last five years, or there was a Retcon of Lore. So, you may freely choose which you feel further advances your story or character. I generally prefer 1.0's take on things, but I also cannot fault anyone who claims the Echo insta-grants them full auditory comprehension of all things as it is, as of today, technically canon lore now.
