Bringing in ideas of 'fate' and 'destiny' is the same as someone defending the validity of the Bible by stating that it is valid because the Bible says it's valid, lol .

How can you prove that their time period would be different? If time is indeed set in stone then the time period that the game takes place in has already been affected by time compression. There is no possible way in which to prove that Squall and Co's time period would be different if time is set in stone because it will be the same no matter what.

All in all, you have you ideas, I have mine; this debate is unresolvable. So I guess we can leave it at that, if you want to.
