[[WMG: Terra is what happens when the [[FinalFantasy1 Light Warriors lose their first fight with Garland.]]]]
In theory, that is an alternate way to break the FF1 time loop. It removes the need to send Garland back in time, and the Four Fiends' origin. But because evil won in the end, the world turns out darkly. The Lufenish retain their supertechnology, but the crystals are still drained for reasons no one is capable of seeing.
The desparate Lufenish develop dimensional travel and soul manipulation, and eventually put together the Terran's plans as seen in Final Fantasy 9.
For added drama, let's say that the five warriors were caught in limbo when the time loop ended, locked outside of the reincarnation cycle, until the Terrans rescued them. [[FinalFantasy9 Garland]] is [[FinalFantasy1 Garland]]'s reincarnation, and his three angels of death are three of the four Light Warriors (Most likely Black/Red Mage, Thief, and White Mage).

[[WMG: There was a Zeroth Angel of Death used during Garland's first assault on Gaia.]]
I'm guessing Zero was a Warrior in contrast with the more magic-based reapers developed later.

Vivi and the rest of the black mages somehow found a way to create ''other'' black mages that wouldn't have such a restricted lifespan. They could have worked with the Genomes to find the right way to go about it. So Vivi's children aren't strictly his, but they are black mages created by his ''idea'' to give black mages a longer lifespan. So they're more the children of his idea.

During the course of the game, you learn that in the past, the Warriors of Darkness defeated an out-of-control incarnation of the power of Light (which would have burned the world to a crisp).

*Nah, the Terrans wanted to merge with planets that had "pure crystals," which I assume means no life (as the crystals govern souls). They didn't ''want'' life to develop there. If Terra had been eying Gaia since before there was even any land on it, they'd have had plenty of time to fuse the planets before entire civilizations were developed on Gaia. Granted, maybe their sense of time is a bit off considering how long they "live," but I wouldn't think Garland would go thousands or millions of years before noticing, "Oops, Gaia has people now. When did that happen?" Rather, what probably happened was Terra stumbled upon Gaia long after life had developed and it was just their only option. As for why the Genomes are so much like humans... I'd say that these specific Genomes were designed by Garland to mimic humans after observing life on Gaia, and that Terrans actually used to have some other form. Only problem with that is the giant stone faces in Oeilvert look human.... Summoners, presumably, just branched off a little from humans some centuries back.
