Forget going into the past.
Give me a future where Vana'diel is the World of Ruin instead. Windurst sucks the entire area around the Federation mana-dry and nukes the Yagudo into radioactive dust. Windurst is now a dried out wasteland and the Star Tree a dead, hollow husk. Bastok turns into a mutant wasteland from Cid's science-gone-wrong. San d'Oria is now an Orcish nation and the Elvaan are living in Ordelle's caves, hunted like dogs by the beastmen they scorned.
And of course, we get a whole mission storyline to prevent it from happening. Put in Time Mage with that.
Stuff like "Age" could be used as a temp buff for PC's, too. Stat boost as if they'd leveled up for a brief period. Ditto "Youth" as a level-down...but either one could only be cast on an unaggroed target.
Yeah, it'd be pretty cool even though it'd NEVER HAPPEN.
