Garland tells the Warriors of Light that the power of the Four Fiends in the present sent him to the past when he was on the brink of death after his defeat, and Garland then sent the Four Fiends in the past to the present. By doing this, Garland has created a time loop that will allow him to live forever.

Thank you user! You are a good user!
>The original Time Jannie
aren't the heroes of light the time jannies though?
Time Janny ensures the current flow of timeline doesn't get distrupted, 4 Heroes of Light literally go there to break the current flow of timeline (Garland's loop) so no. Garland on the other hand is doing everything in his power to ensure the loop remains intact ergo he's the time janny.
a time loop is a continious disruption of the flow of time, therefore garland is the disruptor
That would imply the original timeline was different when it wasn't.
The original timeline is quite literally this:
Garland arrives in the kingdom as vagrant knight
Becomes a local "hero"
Wants to tap the princess pussy
Princess tells him to fuck off
Garland kidnaps her
Warriors of Light arrive and pick up the bountry hunter contract to rescue princess
As Garland dies, the local Fiends that destroyed the ancient Lufenian civilization send him back to the past to ensure he'll be their agent there and keep sending the past-Fiends to the future
Garland goes along with it because it creates a time loop for him where he remains immortal
It's implied the original Warrior of Light were killed by the future-fiends after Garland's defeat because Garland says he saw this cycle repeat many times by now.
That's the original timeline, the timeline never progressed beyond that because it loops from that point, and Garland ensures that it doesn't deviate from that pattern making him the time janny of that timeline.
The reason the Warriors of Light don't get killed by the fiends in the timeline you're playing as the player, according to Dissidia lore, is because Cid the Lufenian and Cosmos intervene and empower them.
