I have started to build an idea on how Time Compression can be centred at the point in time where Ultimecia was, and Squall killed her, as well as always being present for quite a lot of the span of time - both backwards and forwards.
Basically, Time Compression was meant to be a singularity - that means it's pulling all of Time into it, so somewhere underneath Time as normal people can sense it is a current that draws anything towards the point where Ultimecia was pulling in everywhen.
That plus the fact that Ultimecia was killed before she completed it means that just under the "surface" of Time is one hell of a mess of all sorts of contradictory currents that can wash anyone up anywhere, and any extra fooling in those currents can cause untold effects elsewhere in Time - hence why it could dump a stack of people from all different times in one place.
I think so far I have 5 Squalls (some of them are Grievers, but they're Squall too).
Griever's family... actually, it could be variously called Bahamut's family or Tyr's family, because they are the ones it formed around originally. G-verse has past OT4 Of Shiny - Seph/Zack/Cloud/Aeris - before Nibelheim. Post-FFVII, Cloud had an on-off affair with Vincent. After DoC Shelke kinda got adopted by Avalanche and hangs around Vincent as much as he can stand (there's uneasiness there, she's a 19-year-old in a 10-year-old body... but she has the mind of Lucrecia Crescent - more or less). Then Neo Bahamut notices something about Cloud - namely that he carries several key memories of Cecil Harvey's life (why Cloud has them can be chalked up to a few different reasons) and makes a point to get to know this inheritor of his one-time king and lover's memory. Then a very young Griever gets dumped on them. Very young meaning his transition was only months beforehand. He's stuck living with Cloud and Kain for about 100 years.
Then there's Ellone and Seifer, who become parts of the family due to their connections to Squall, and Boko is the new chocobo GF (I think he's a couple hundred years old).
And Tiamat... well since Odin's death she is now the second oldest GF in existance, since she is Princess Ellanora of Baron - Rosa's second daughter (third child), and first by Kain Highwind (yes, that did cause some trouble).
