I've just started replaying this for the first time in ages so I'm going mostly off of what's been said in the thread so take this with a grain of salt- From the game's manual:

>PARALLELS IN SPACE AND TIME
>Garian starts his adventure on board the Seabandits, accompanying Bilan to Jailer's island. Or does he?

>He wakes up from a terrible dream to find that he is in possession of a blue rose, a rose which only grows on Jailer's Island.

>He has vague memories of a battle... and a mysterious woman. Strange events are taking place on Jailer's island and the power that exists there is affecting the space-time continuum, causing reality to change.

>FROM REALITY TO A NIGHTMARE
>(...) Upon reaching Jailer's island, Garian is drawn into a web of events which are as mysterious as they are world-shattering in importance. (...)

Two options:

Mentions of events of "world-shattering" importance and stuff "affecting the Space-time continuum" support the notion someone else presented that some event has precipitated several different dimensions on top of one another and, like anon says, they're fighting to determine which one remains as "real".

The other option, which ordinarily wouldn't involve anything earth-shattering or space-time continuum mumbo jumbo and thus seems disproved by the manual itself (reminder that something might've gotten lost in translation, after all) pertains to Garian alone. The hints are both above and in the intro/seabandits. There are two dock workers who comment that on capturing Bilan, one of the hunters was killed by another hunter. Musashi says picrelated. You don't know at this point, but assume later on that you killed your partner after he'd fallen prey to Bilan, same as you do with Musashi. (cont.)
