This is exactly what I mean. The older brother isn't forgotten, I'm just not certain about how he's remembered. The older brother would actually have friends who think he has been jumped through time with them (at least for a little while), but they are wrong. They have no way of knowing that he's been dead since before the battle. That part is easy. The younger brother has no identity.
The older brother can't be a Warrior of Light, and any investigation will quickly reveal that fact. People remember every facet of him, so he isn't part of the time jump. And I think I've inadvertently answered my own question by trying to reason out this response.
I've been wondering enough how the world as a whole would look at the older brother's place or absence in the battle that I've lost site of how the actual plot hook would work anyway. His presence at Carteneau is irrelevant to anyone who hasn't been skipped through time because they'll either know him by his deeds before the battle or they'll never have heard of him. Any actual Warriors of Light who are under the impression that he was present likely think that he's died since the younger brother hasn't tried to assume the dead brother's identity since returning. Investigating the older brother would eventually reveal that he has not, in fact, been skipped through time, making the time of his death a moot point. And any inconsistencies on whether or not he has participated in the battle could just make for interesting RP anyway.
Thanks for your insight on this issue, everyone. I was just trying to make sure to fill in any holes in the story, but it turns out that a small hole could actually serve an in game purpose anyway.
