Okay, let me explain for anyone confused: Jack, Ash, and Jed all arrive in the world of Cornelia with no memory. All they know is that they need to kill Chaos. Neon and Sophia also have a desire to kill Chaos, so they team up. Jack, Ash, Jed, and Neon all have crystals, much like the prophesied Warriors of Light, but these crystals are dark. It's later revealed that Jack, Ash, and Jed are from another dimension controlled by the Lufenians. They've been sent to Cornelia before, and attempted to destroy the darkness, which was banished to Cornelia by the Lufenians. They failed, so the Lufenians erased their memories and reset the world. The scenes where Jack is wearing white are memories from that previous attempt. He used to be friends with Astos, and was in love with Princess Sarah. The darkness once again spreads and becomes uncontrollable. In order to break free of the Lufenians' influence, Jack's allies force him to kill them, causing him to absorb all of their darkness and become Chaos. He then severs the connection between Lufenia and Cornelia. It's also revealed that Jack is Garland, the first boss you fight in the first Final Fantasy and the true identity of Chaos. Ash, Jed, Neon, and Sophia are the Four Fiends. They then go 2000 years into the past, just like Chaos/Garland did in the original Final Fantasy, and wait for the Warriors of Light. The Warriors of Light are easily defeated, so Jack goes back in time and fights them again. In every loop, the Warriors of Light become stronger, until eventually they're able to easily defeat Garland. The Warriors of Light then go back in time and defeat Chaos, breaking the time loop and destroying the darkness once and for all. What the fuck.

I think Nomura as ascended into that realm of Lucas-like mythos where anything that's a 'flaw' in his storytelling is just "satire" or "misinterpreted genius", and anything that's genuinely good was definitely not put there by Nomura. I think people at Square are too afraid to challenge him on things.
