Then Disc 2 starts and we're faced with the most BS version of a wall banger plot twists and time travel crap that the player loses any sense of being able to take anything storywise serious.
Welcome to the Final Fantasy series. A series of games were you start as a relatively normal dude in an army/mercenary-group/terrorist-group/whataver fighting an evil empire/corporation/kingdom, but ends having to stop a demon/god/alien/demi-god/cosmic-horror/interdimensional-creature from destroying the world/planet/dimension/universe.

If those plot-twists cause you to "lose any sense of being able to take anything storywise seriously", then I suggest you stop playing FF games.
