To influence a theme is not the same as to be a theme. Fate ghosts and alternate timelines are merely instrumental aspects of the story, subordinate to the theme, so they do not replace it, do not take the place of the thematic core, they perform function of communicating the theme.
A story whose instrumental aspects are at the center of the thematic core is a postmodern story. VIIR is not such a story typologically, even though the trilogy's writers employ some elements of reflexive narrative about the fate of VII as a game and as a story.
Please, someone insert the Ultimate Muse poem. You know the one.
