Chrono Trigger also does this.

In FFXIV it becomes more plausible in that it took 300ish years of Uber-tech for them to figure out how to even do it.

Not my favorite kind of writing, but in the story it works fine.
Not sure if I saw a video on it or read it somewhere here, but the idea that all time travel Azem does has already happened because they are tied with fate somehow could make it all work. I still don't like it, but at least it is a rule that seems to apply.
