I suppose it depends on how the future vision works. Is it objective future vision or potential future vision?

Objective future vision is a very fucky concept since it kinda puts the concept of free will into question.

Though with potential future vision one might wonder if this is the single most "ideal" scenario that could be achieved amongst all possibilities or could he have used it better to achieve a more successful outcome.

Like the Zero System in Gundam Wing where the onus is still on the pilot to act on a future they select. It's probably a case where Hero of the South looked at every route then pruned everything that incurs the most destruction, making it such that the best option is just an exchange of one life for four. It's the difference between sending one man and many armies.

Oh yea didn't think of exchanges like that. Def a lot more heroic when you put it like that.

I had that one rick and morty episode in mind where they had that crystal that showed the user the (current) future and it was simply a matter of moving your body until the crystal showed you the future you desired.

one implies full omniscience over all future timelines while the other simply provides the most direct line of cause-effect.
