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.
Quote:The Warriors of Light are stated to be the band of Adventurers (i.e. the players) that helped protect the city-states and form the Eorzean Alliance during the events leading up to the Seventh Umbral Era. They took to the field during the Battle on the plains of Mor Dhona and were apparently lost during the unleashing of Bahamut. Their name derives from the fact that whenever people try to remember them, all they can remember is a silhouette surrounded by a blinding light

If you put them side by side, the lore's definition of a Warrior of Light (NOT the gameplay's) is completely different from yours. If you wish to see it that way, that's fine, but it's a vastly inaccurate perspective. I can't really blame Square for that. However! Play as you like -- just don't expect ALL players of characters with the echo to accept their character being called a Warrior of Light.Â
WHICH MAKES ME THINK.Â
DO all warriors of Light possess the echo? Is it at all possible for Joe Echoless the Adventuring Bastard son of Schmitty to have been at Carteneau? Would he have been swept away into the rift along with the others, or incinerated? If he WAS, would he be an echo-less, clueless Warrior of Light? THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. YOUR THOUGHTS?
