Waaaiiit, whaaat....?

Hi!
I just wanted to point this out, and maybe someone could explain this to me:
So, the thing that confuses me (like, REALLY confuses me) are the character's lives.
Take Cloud for example. You see, his Dissidia-story, WHEN does it happen? After FFVII? Or before? I think it happens after the FFVII-story. Okay. But he also changes his appearnace in the game, into the AC appearance. Waait, what? Wasn't he supposed to be in Edge by that time and deliver some stuff?
I don't know how I can explain what I mean better than this. But I hope that you have understood my point, and will be willing to give me an answer or speculation.
Thanks!

I have heard (I forget the source so you'll have my word alone on this, m'fraid

Basically, I hear that Cloud enters Dissidia during the Mako Coma (hey, it's possible, right?)

It's a likelihood it's some fan explanation (like Terra during the

Esper sleep in Zozo

) but they are plausible at least.

I don't think this has anything to do with the FFVII timeline tbh

I mean the story is all about the war between Discord and Harmony and as it says in the game

after the war is over it starts all over again. Because the lost God/dess gets revived.

But yeah this story is just a reflection on Cloud's character in their original game, nothing to do with the original story.

I'm not sure how well this will go over here, but judging from some of the Reports, I actually came to the conclusion that the characters are all advanced Manikins.

I know it sounds crazy, but is it really any crazier than Cloud forgetting his rivalry with Sephiroth & then gaining it back like a week later?

You can really run into these problems with all of the characters, which is why I think it makes sense that they're reflections of the originals, but since the story is canon, there must be an in-game explanation of that.

I also have a theory that Cosmos & Chaos were both created by the Lufenians.

Since the Ultimania explains approximately jack shit, it could be a while before I can verify the sanity of these ideas.
