Revelations from Save the Queen

And that is why I put no stock into headcanon and don't bother with it myself.

For Mikoto, I'm curious if her future sight Echo locks her into that path, and try as she might, she can't change things. As in, a person with the right type of Echo might be able to nudge the scales just with their presence. The example of her power that we've had so far was rather benign and nothing they'd be super worried about. We already know that Echos interact, and it was shown again with Mikoto's ability to join us in the memory dive. What if they're somehow able to share information through time by some strange interaction? What if she views the future of the WoL viewing the past and they are not only aware of it but can somehow communicate information?

Nah, I doubt they put that much thought into it.

I believe that the future sight is only showing her Absolute Futures rather than possible future.

Absolute Futures are always going to happen but what happens before and after are all Possible Futures so those aspect after the forseen events can be changed.

For example, if she was to see someone dying or die then it will happen but if the vision only shows the person for a short time dying or die then the moment after that forseen moment can have them be return back to life or their death is prevented since these are moment after the forseen absolute future events.

Yep, the context of the vision is not clear. It's however interesting that the one case we've seen is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Seeing Cid in the vision causes us to seek out Cid so that the vision can become a reality.

That is the tricky thing about Absolute futures. They will happen no matter what but when and why is only the matter of the question. Even if WoL and Mikoto did not seek out Cid, some other events will cause Cid to eventually go there and experience that event another time and by another reason.

Thus by just causing the event directly, WoL and Mikoto will at least be directly prepared for it as they control when and why it happens.
