** Those capable of detecting the Echo's use (often by having the gift themselves) will occasionally recognise an unfamiliar person in their memories and realise what's going on. Those with this ability who haven't given their permission - such as Raya-o-Senna - of course consider this [[Mind Rape|very, very rude]].

** The game is also a little sneaky about its use. Prior to the Echo being explained when the player character is invited to join the Path of the Twelve, the Echo receives very little suggestion.

* [[Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Game]]: The "recruitment posters" for the Grand Companies caused some tiny confusions in some of the gaming forums. Because one of the posters (which is probably a parody of [https://www.mtholyoke.edu/courses/rschwart/hist255/la/delacroix.html Liberty Leading Her People]) was mistaken for a depiction of Kan-E-Senna, the Company's commander, and some were sadden that "wasn't showing up in the game." Albeit Kan-E-Senna totally resembles a young teenager and this was a different guy from the woman in the poster.
** Fun fact: the woman on the poster is actually one of the twelve gods of Eorzea, Nophica.
