Ending

[Future Esthar]

I didn´t really understood what is told in the end.Can someone explain to me(Nintendo version).
It says they return to their past.
If that is the case were can we find them?
Are they supposed to go rescue Sara after beating Chaos?
How did they lost their memory?
EDIT:
Even if they try to prevent Garland to kidnap the princess they will have to fight right?
And no time-loop breaked.

You think you're confused now. Just wait until you play Dissidia and then get really confused.

(I.e. I never have figured out what the hell it all meant.)

[Future Esthar]

I will not play it.Tell-me about the ff1 story on that game.

[Darth Cid]

I've only played the PS1 and GBA. And from what I get, after beating Chaos, you're restored to your time where everything is back how it was including Garland, which makes me think does that mean you're doomed to keep fighting him? I'm not quite sure as not even the GBA translation which should make the most sense, makes much sense in what is said.

No, the confusing part is that they BROKE the time loop.

Don't ask me how that works.

[Darth Cid]

My point exactly, how is Garland there if you break the paradox?

[black orb]

>>> Everything returns to normal, like if nothing had happened.
Garland is a knight of Coneria again and the Light Warriors are forgotten and disappear since they were never needed..

[Darth Cid]

That's a pretty bad ending.

[black orb]

>>> I think thats a great ending..
You never know what happens with the Light Warriors after you beat Chaos, probably sent to an unknown dimension?, damn there is enough material to make a frigging sequel! (Dissidia doesnt count)..

Doesn't it say something about the Light Warriors watching over the world to make sure nothing ever happens again? I always thought the Light Warriors keep their memories, but nobody else does, so they become almost like guardians of the world.

[Future Esthar]

But the game says Garland,Jane and Sara waits for them.They can´t therefore disappear.

[black orb]

>>> well, I dont remember exactly the text at the game`s ending..
After so many years, I guess my head created its own ff1 ending..

[Tokimadoushi]

Out of all the super-developed confusing plot twists that cropped up in the later FF games, isn't it ironic that the greatest conundrum of all exists in the ending of the very first game?

Perhaps when they return after defeating Chaos, Garland doesn't go mad with power?

Or he actually dies for good?

Wtf??

[Fynn]

From what I get, they return and their memories remain. Everyone's there, except there was never a prophecy, no fiends, no Chaos, and all that stuff. Therefore, nobody needs the light warriors, and even if Garland wants to take over Cornelia again, he won't become chaos. So the ending is a happy ending

[Vagrant]

I completed it again last night.

The light warriors returned back to their own time but nobody knew them or what they had done for the world. The light warriors retained their memories.

It then says something like the dark forces in the world were also the forces that helped the light warriors defeat chaos to provide balance.

Awful ending, but still satisfying to blitz through the levels of temple of chaos, the four fiends and then Chaos when extremely underleveled!
