That mysterious hole in Trabia...

[Big D]

Laguna goes to the lunatic site in disc 1... he jumps off into the sea to escape the esthar crew!

Lunatic Pandora was still in Centra at that point. Esthar hadn't begun moving it... it was still being excavated. He wound up in Winhill after his escape, anyway.

Btw that hole had to resemble something in the storyline because even if youd go over it to the mountain tange where you fought the ruby dragon u appear in the area that is surrounded with a mountain range and those flashy walls.So even if you cross the nasty gap you couldnt reach esthar...

Id say the lunatic pandora thing is interesting...

Laguna, Ward and Kiros were sent in disc 1 to investigate lunatic Pandora (we know this due to the interior)....Squall later visits lunatic Pandora (many years later).

I hope this factor is understood.

My contention is... If the crater was the result of esthars excavation (the one laguna investigates) then why would he return to the same area (to film a movie) after being chased out by Esthar troops????

Also Esthar had completed the project when laguna films the dragon movie... are you tying to tell me that they a.. excavated it from the "crater site" then built the massive structure, all in the time it took for Laguna to return!

The events seem a little mixed up... but if that is indeed the same site, when laguna investigated Esthar excavation, the timing is a out and I am certain that Laguna would not return to that exact location in a hurry...

I'm not saying it's the same site; as a matter of fact we know that it's somewhere completely different. All I'm suggesting is that Esthar excavated the Crystal Pillar from Centra, which we know, then moved it to Esthar, which we also know... I'm suggesting that the Trabia Crater is kind of like a cubby hole where they stored the Pillar before it was moved to the Research Facility where Odine played with it.

Maybe that's where Eden came from. Maybe when he was born, it created a massive explosion, due to his extreme power! Then, because he was s distraught because of him killing his mother, he ran away to Warship Island, and Bahamut and Ultima Weapon decided to take care of him.

This thread is old now but never answered. To go with Big D taoist discussion, How about the crator being the place where the crystal pillar was found along with Eden. (Eden the garden of eden, the final guardian force) It makes sense that when Esthar troops excavated, they were excavating eden, and its power. They had problems with the fact there's an Ultima Weapon running around in the pandora and sank it where it was later found by the deep research facility by Galbadia and Ultima Weapon (with the power of Eden) was left behind. Remember "the Rocks are resinating" like the crystal pillar, perhaps it has something to do with Edens power and presence.

Im surprised noone has tied this together. Besides also isnt george and the dragon, Esthar, Garden of Eden, all biblical proportions?

And yes im sure that the crater was put there to stop players form reaching esthar to early, but they would have just used a river, or a mountain, since b garden cant scale a mountain. A crater was put there for a hard thinker to analyze, like all of us, not to JUST prevent.

Please do not accuse me of wading in the babies pool when it comes to FF analysis. In the past, I was the member being ridiculed for the blunt and domesticated response "your going too deep". Perhaps the summer break has rejuvinated my FF spirit, thereby enabling a return to eoff posts (dealing with people who refuted Lagunas paternity was taxing to say the least).
In this post I delibrately chose to present the obvious; demonstrating how absurdly deep everyone had gazed into what is merely a hole!

[FinalDreamer]

nah couldnt b the missiles ...they said there was a force that made the garden function badly .... i still think the luna pandora theory is the one ......

[Chibi Youkai]

I do believe that the crater is where Lunatic Pandora resided. It just makes more sense that way, and if you look over during the time Laguna is doing that movie thing, you can see the pillar, as I recall, but I could be wrong.
