Yeah, which makes no sense if you break it down, because Holy is already the Lifestream. All magic is, technically, but Holy is that specific one programmed by the Lifestream itself that's supposed to hard reset whatever threat exists, which kind of contradicts the whole WEAPON thing, but the timeline is kinda ambiguous so maybe the White/Black Materia came after WEAPON, so fuck it.
Still don't fucking understand why either exists at all, or why they were given to the Cetra. Like, why does the Lifestream need the Ancients? It seems pretty self-aware and sapient enough to create and activate the aforementioned WEAPONs, but for some reason it also gives Convenient Plot Macguffin #1 and #2 to some stupid asshole hippies because... ???
I really don't get how anybody takes this story seriously. It's got a lot of interesting socioeconomic subplots but they all fade away in favor of generic anime bullshit, including Sephiroth, who is nothing without his boss theme. Same with Cloud. Just awful lead characters with a nothing story that will never end given the nature of the Final Fantasy VII Cinematic Universe.
