* Reversed in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', where we contrast Auron from the present, where he's a gruff, cynical, snarky mentor figure who shows deep distrust and distaste for the CorruptChurch, to the past version of him seen in old recordings found throughout the game. Past Auron was a stiff, honorable, and eager true believer and a WarriorMonk in the Church of Yevon. We go through a pretty large portion of the game's plot before we learn everything that happened to cause this transformation.

In stories, this trope concerns the time the audience is given the chance to see the future of a setting and future versions of different characters, who will almost certainly contrast their past selves in several different ways. This view can be obtained through TimeTravel, a FlashForward, or a TimeSkip. This is a SuperTrope to FutureBadass, FutureMeScaresMe, and FutureLoser.

Chances are you'll have seen different sides of life, witnessed multiple worldview-shattering events, and met countless new friends and enemies.
