nope, pay real good attention to when they show up

cloud and company only see them after they are tou he'd by aerith, but she says she's been able to see them for a long time. this is sephiroth already trying to stop og aerith from intervening as much

the second time they show up is when bugs wedge and Jesse were planning to go to the 2nd reactor, with barret since barret refused to hire cloud again. the phantoms fucked them up, they did not get to go, barret hired cloud again

third time is in the church, when cloud is about to kill Reno, they stop him

then again on the plate support when Biggs almost survived, they pushed him off (which, he did end up surviving)

ect.
