(SPOILER)Okay. Garland was once a good guy. But, he became power-starved and corrupted. So, he kidnaps the princess, right? But you defeat him. So he's dead! Not really. The four Chaos guardians transport him 2000 years into the past. So, he releases them. Now.. every 2000 years... time zips back to the point when the guardians saved Garland. The same 2000 years just keep repeating. That's why; we gotta go back to that moment and defeat Chaos, therefore breaking the time-loop and restoring the world to it's proper order.
