"Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man."


Jancis within is deeply driven to survive with her intentions and dreams intact. To see a vision of herself either down or up would bring a huge drive of determination to either make it to that point or change it.

As a child growing up in isolation, seeing herself now surrounded by people and out in a society she could only watch from afar would drive the girl even harder to make such a future a reality.

Right now, seeing her future as an acquaintance to many would drive her to change it and become close to some and finding a like-minded person to intertwine a better future with. To stay loyal and invest her abilities into those already around her to support them. 

Determined to change such a future,

I'm... not entirely sure how young(er) Chachan would feel about where Chachan is currently.

On the one hand, he'd be super happy that he's a Free Paladin (once that got explained to him) who goes around helping people all over the place and has so many interesting friends of all shapes and sizes. Not to mention that he has a chocobo all his own and a little friend named Gran who he gets to play with all the time.

On the other, it's been more or less a given that Chachan's childhood was largely spent not only in training under this father, but also following around his older brother like a lost little duckling. To know that he would leave home against the wishes of his father, and that his brother not only abandoned the family too... but has turned into some vengeful thing that doesn't even recognize him? That would be a bitter pill to swallow.

So... I would likely have to go with Existential Crisis. Does he try to change what happens so his brother stays with the family (or at least go WITH him)? But then what would happen to all those friends that he made BECAUSE he left afterward? Would he still get to be a hero? Or would be end up staying at home being the simple smith his father wanted him to be?

That's a lot for a little kid to think about, let alone come to a decision on.

Elated would be the word that would perfectly describe. Because Leanne did not only realize her dream of being an adventurer and explore new lands, she'd also be uber happy in knowing that she is very successful, becoming rich, wiser and getting to know a ton of people and places, regardless of any tribulations that she suffered through her current path. Aka, she'd think her future self is -awesome-.

I think...just learning about the calamity and the aftermath of that would terrifying enough.  But looking at the future future self (I have two possible directions for Jess's character to take with Heavensward) would be truly terrifying, a nightmare come true.  It'll be interesting just to get her reaction IC already to the events, let alone her younger self's.

Young Brynhilde would be horrified to see what she had become.

If she were to glimpse herself as a 40 year old woman at the age of 18, just prior to the fall of Ala Mhigo, she'd be mortified that she wasn't married to a handsome, wealthy and strong Highlander man and proud mother to a small pack of strong Highlander children. And, of course, her beloved homeland would be gone.

If she were to see her 40-year old self a few years later, when she was caught up in the Resistance, she'd be utterly furious to learn that she didn't win Ala Mhigo back, and instead is living in Ul'dah and bedding a Roegadyn. She'd see adult-Bryn as a weakling and a traitor.

Either way, she would greet the vision with absolute disbelief.

Shortly before trying to kill whoever showed it to her.

At first, Boy-Nathan would be happy to see that he'd found a charming young woman to be his duet partner, and that he'd have made so many friends, and was living the life of a bard, and making people happy...

But within seconds (insert double take) it would dawn on him that his troupe... his family... were all dead, and that it could have been prevented.

Enter a time-paradox in which a sixteen year-old boy begs and pleads with his troupe leader, the surrogate mother who taught him everything he valued, to avoid a certain village on a certain night, and call in the Wood Wailers. He might then start haunting Old Gridania looking for a certain someone, but Twelve know what he'd do to his own future to prevent the single atrocity that killed his past.

Literally just that for hours. 

Followed by terrible confusion due to all the ret-conning.

Kal would be like "Ok what the F happened to me and how the shit did I end up a pirate.  Did I take something, because holy shit I am huge?! I'm marrying a cat? Excuse me, what it going on here?"

Dheina she would be surprised/amazed that" wow, out adventuring! I get so brave!", but otherwise not too surprised about how her future self is/looks

Sam would probably be confused and terrified because future them has no clue who they used to be and wonder wtf happened to get like that (Assuming they also don't know about what happens with the calamity)

Armi wouldn't really be surprised how she turned out

Cardea would be like "Fuck yeah I'm a hot woman, take that you shits" and go around flipping people off in their faces

Samhain wouldn't really care much either way but may be a bit disappointed her muscles arn't bigger

Twin Rova wouldn't really be surprised either really

Kell seeing his future is... essentially, completely useless to the man. His whims are beyond the understanding of mankind and perhaps even Hydaelyn herself.

HOWEVER, regardless of what he would see, he'd accept it. He's always been a bit too accepting of things.

M'sato, if he could see his future self, would probably just jump off of a cliff and get it over with.

Soren would have mixed feelings because there aren't as many people around as he would like, but he would think that his adult self was pretty cool.

Young Solomon would look at Old Solomon and raise his juice cup to the glorious bastard he'll grow up into.

Garrett would look at his future self and vow to dedicate his life towards never, ever becoming the monster his adult self is. In working towards preventing that horrible future, he would become exactly the same thing without ever realizing it was happening until it's far, far too late.

Characters: M'sato Tia (Lost Soul Seeker), Soren Walker (Ishgardian Midlander Pilot), Solomon Laguerre (Elezen Mercenary/Bar Manager)

If past Lin would see Present Lin, and Present Lin would see future Lin.

They would not be able to recognize one another easily, and there would be lots, and lots of questions they'd want to ask one another, but know they would not get an answer.

It would be a very quiet, awkward room.

Young Zy would walk up to her older self and tug on her skirt. She'd look up and ask. "Why are you so sad?"

Little Clover would be heartbroken to see that current Clover is no longer with grandpa. Other than that, she hasn't really changed. She's still the person she used to be.
