If you wish for your character to possess the echo, by all means, do it. Just remember to carefully research what the Echo is, and what having it means for that character -- and be aware that not everyone who has the Echo is necessarily knowledgeable on exactly what it is (if you remember in the MSQ, Lightbob Warriorpants didn't even know what the hell was going on until Minfilia told him/her).Â
There will be people who harp on you for doing this -- which is why it's important to exercise discretion and care while playing it off, ESPECIALLY when it comes to making sure that your character is more than just about having the Echo (some folks will have issues regarding possible meta-gaming as well, but this can be avoided by keeping communication open). Unless there is constructive criticism with regard to your portrayal, don't bother with naysayers.
My character doesn't possess the Echo, but if I wanted to roll an alt who did, I bloody well would.
