Turns out it was Echo, so rather than retcon, I let her have the Echo - since it was not all that uncommon for adventurers to be touched by it to begin with.
Okay, not likely my character is going to believe that.
I'm not saying you can't have like, something for fun and pretend. But if you're playing with a community in a particular setting, it's just not tasteful to tell everyone that you've actually killed a primal. That's like social suicide and no one in their right mind is going to believe you.
I mean, pfft, you could always pretend with your trope of friends that you were those warriors of light, but you shouldn't bring that into the main setting because that stuff is reserved for the main hero of the game.
You assume that due to this I am playing her off as the MSQ character (in 1.0 or ARR), however, and that is flawed of course! She is by no means that character. I went as far as letting her be contacted by Minfilia in 1.0, having the Echo explained to her, and she bailed. Wanted nothing to do with any of it.
My primal encounters in 1.0 were all IC with fellow RPers, not storyline-related.That, and she hates that she has the Echo. She doesn't talk about it. She doesn't acknowledge it unless she has to. She certainly doesn't go around telling people she took down Ifrit years ago.
You know what they say about assuming..
