Completion of past events will affect dialogue in future events, but not (or rarely) vice-versa.

It does happen sometimes though. I did the anima relic ages ago but only recently finished the zodiac quests, and during Kettle to the Mettle Gerolt mentioned the anima quests.

Note that Kettle to the Mettle was released in 3.2, perhaps affirming that the time bubble generally respects patch release order.

EDIT: A quick second thought, and I suppose we can say Kettle to the Mettle occupies an ambiguous space. It only requires completion of the Vital Title, which places it at any point after 2.5, but was released in 3.2, which could place it at any point up to then, if we hold that future events don't really affect past ones.

Oh, right. Forgot about that.
