Heh, then there's the inverted form with the prediction of future amazing important events but you're stuck in the past where none of that's the case.
Earthbound had that to a small extent, but by the end I had kinda forgotten about that doomed future that dung beetle came from at the start.
I think I'm mainly thinking about the first two Terminator movies. For years that's all I had, and I had that same feeling you talk about. Those two, especially the second, were good movies, but I always got the feeling that the BIG stuff was off in the future, mainly because they kept SAYING the big stuff is off in the future. Now they have the sequels and the series and everything so it's all getting filled in. I'm saying they could do the same with FF6 basically, and that'd be cool.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
