Maybe the Echo already "taught" us how to speak Bad Guy, that's why we kept it?
Well, we're still unsure if we still have the Echo. Considering the circumstances, we have lost Hydaelyn's blessing... but we've already have proof that the Echo is not her blessing - or at least not something only she can bestow. It's also been noted that Minfilia had to be told of what happened - and she can apparently sense the Echo in others or something?
So, I think all we've lost is the Light and not the Echo. So, no more ripping primals out of ancient deathweapons and no more shielding from ultimate deathmagics. Which we hopefully won't need to do, anyway, unless the OTHER Weapon that's supposedly at the Battlefront (?) gets unearthed and activated. Oh, and the whole thing about the Light keeping the non-local Ascians from just waltzing in to harass you and yours.
Then again, we don't know what we've gained beyond a smarmy dragonling friend from coming under Middy's protection. So maybe he can cover for where Hydaelyn would step in save our keisters... and the Ascian who DID decide to capitalize on the sudden breach got his teeth kicked in. So, we'll just have to wait and see, I suppose.
Standard FFXIV procedure, really.
