Having the Echo is one of those weird grey areas of RP decisions.
On one hand, the Echo awakened en masse during what we'll call the 1.0 events. It's likely that Louisoix and Minfillia were able to find them all before the Calamity. (And who's to say that Hydaelyn's blessing was only during that time?)
On the other hand, the Echo grants its bearer unique gifts that some people could be uncomfortable RPing with. Some of these shown previously are telepathic communication, resistance against primal tempering, ungodly power, the ability to understand foreign languages such as the beast tribes', and a certain level of "immortality" (think of how you don't die in a dungeon, but those adventurers had a few....mishaps in the Tam-Tara Deepcroft was back). The Echo manifests differently for each individual. Naturally, unless you find some other person with the Echo, your average person will probably have no idea, and may just think you're a larger-than-life adventurer.Â

In Franz's case, the Echo would be almost ironic. While probably not a threat to Eorzea on his own, he is former Garlean military, which has any number of problems. (Even if we take into account that he was basically cannon fodder in the last battle he fought in, Silvertear Lake, still caused a /ton/ of damage.)
--
As the others have stated, it's not impossible, but I would tread lightly with who you share it with, both IC and OOC, if you decide to have it. (I know I could think of a few good plots that could make use of someone with the Echo though, should it happen.)
