Just finished. The timeline stuff was weird but I think it ended up pretty straightforward by the end. The lifestream is a multiverse that only Aerith, Zack, Cloud, Seph can traverse.

I don't fully get where/what Sephiroth actually exists in this game though. The final fight is him, but every other time is just Cloud being puppeted? Or sometimes it's a random zombie guy like when he stabbed Tseng?

Also everything about the black materia confuses me. Everyone spent that whole time going through the temple and fighting for it, and then they decide to just put it back because it's not that important? Why the F did Aerith say it was fake? Why did they just toss it around like a toy?And kept letting Cloud get ahold of it even though it obviously was making him psycho for the last 3 chapters?

And finally I don't get Seph's motivation at all. He didn't actually try to get the black or white materias for himself. Why did he need to kill Aerith? What about the alternate dimension Aerith who survived?
