We actually have no idea if those were "Dynamis beings" nor even if aether doesn't exist in Ultima Thule. Y'shtola says as much, but we know for a fact her perception is limited.

The reason I said they’re are two ways to interpret that scene is rooted in the fact that we can either assume that the info we gave is limited to what was directly mentioned in the follow up convo and shown in the flashback images, or we can assume that more was said but can’t definitively say what it was. If it’s the latter, then it is illogical to make any assumption about what was said or not said as we can’t prove or disprove anything. We’d both have to basically guess or try to infer it from other info.
I think given Yoshida's answers it's perfectly reasonable to infer and interpret based on what we know.

Correction, the Reddit discord transcript is a word for word transcript of Yoshi Ps answer and Kates (the head of the English Localization team) translation. The official one is an abridged version, as we can see when viewing the clip itself.
And yet the official one is the one they chose to post. Given the translation during the LL was spoken off the cuff and the one posted to the forums was written later, that's the one with more validity.

It could be, very true. But I’m responding to a statement that this is 100% the same theory. If you wish to argue that they could be combined then that’s fine, but that’s not what Yoshi P is explicitly saying as he is separating the two in his explanation.
But they're not well separated. "Another interpretation" doesn't necessarily mean incompatibility with the previous one.

The translation you posted however still makes the distinction between the WoL acting in accordance with Venats plan while visiting Elpis and Venat making sure the timeline is consistent in its entirety. This is another huge problem with reading this answer as “Yoshi P confirms she’s following the timeline.” The abridged translation makes a distinction between Venat planning our trip to Elpis and Venat planning to follow the timeline that results in us, a distinction that has no purpose if they are one and the same.
Neither answer specifies that it's referring only to events in Elpis. The question refers to Elpis yes, but when Yoshida responds he talks about the timelines in totality. And again, Venat's motive is given no matter which interpretation Yoshida is suggesting. Given he's willing to say here that's what she wanted, given her lines about fulfilling the conjunction between past and future in the game, and given the reveal that she intentionally allowed for Emet-Selch's survival, I don't know why you're still trying to deny her intentions. Well, I know why, but the how of it has become increasingly infeasible.
