I don't think Remake Aerith was from the future, I was under the impression she just had future memories, which she notes in Rebirth the whispers all took aware when they touched her (I assume in the scene at the beginning of Chapter 17). Ditto for Red who iirc she was having that conversation with, I think in the Junon hotel?

then again I thought Remake Sephiroth was 100% from the future and bascially second-guessed myself out of that too post-Rebirth, who knows.

It's the same with Zack too, but a bit trickier because Seph apparently was able to cut part of Zack's lifestream consciousness away? It seemed like Zack ended up in the real world after that and couldn't go back.

Yeah it is tricky because on one hand you're saying it's consciousness only that can shift but like, we watched Sephiroth cut a hole in reality and send Zack, body and all, tumbling through it? That's a lot more than just his mind/consciousness??? Actually come to think of it we saw Aerith do the same thing with Cloud in the church too. Or is it, like... the "reality hole" is just something the mind perceives, so the consciousness goes tumbling through it while the body stays behind? really I just need to stop thinking about this, lol.

Edit: also I forgot to mention that I agree w/ you that the o.g. Temple experience was better presented than Rebirth's (and I still recommend you play the original game, though since you've gone this far without it you could always hold off until Remake pt. 3 is done I guess...!)
