The shyt was stupid breh
It made perfect sense, just probably not when you were a kid. It works just like the mcu/dcu multiverse with a different name. The memory loss came from overliance on “summons”.
These characters had just started using GFs and didn't remember each other.
The time compression story where that witch from the future wants to compress time to become the only living entity was retarded and made no sense.
And especially the love story between squall and Seifer's side bytch is embarrassingly cringe. And that was the focus of the entire story.
The storyline falls apart after the failed assassination attempt, and this isn't just my childhood memory, I actually liked it more as a kid when i didn't care about storylines. I replayed the remaster and realized how bad it was compared to the other games in the series.
