I can definitely agree with most of what was said. What I can't agree with, and honestly just won't pay attention to, is agreeing with lore from a company that is determined to come up with dumb, in-game reasons as to why they have particular game mechanics. There's a whole plethora of examples with this in many FF games to date, and I've echoed this sentiment a million times over, but it's just something they do. I will never acknowledge that someone fought alongside Lightning in a FATE or that she was ever even there to begin with. Some of the smaller FATEs? Sure, those at least make sense. But some others, like the Lightning one? Naaaah. That just opens the flood gates for people to be time travelers/dimension hoppers themselves, and no thank you.
