Terrestrial fossiles on GSL?

[Christmas]

The lake might had been there ages ago or it wasn't a lake a few billions years ago.

It is like how we find dino bones underground.

[Omnislash07]

uh... where does it say that the Estar people once lived underwater. i think i missed that part.

oh and all those bones could just be animals that wandered into the middle of the area and died of dehydration or something or they could have fallen in the lake and drowned when there was still water in it

[Future Esthar]

Looking at them they seem very ancient(from before the lake dry).
And isn´t strange that there were more land animals than fishes?

This all shows that there was a flood on this area many years ago.Even before it was a lake it was land.

[Kamiko]

With Lunar Cry bombarding the planet with monsters annually, some monsters might've just landed in the lake and died. The lake is pretty big so it's plausible.

[Omnislash07]

maybe they werent actually land animals maybe they were amphibians.
when the lake dried out they didnt have any water so they all died

that would explain why there are so many non-fish skeletons there

This is a game, it's a different world, it's not Earth. This world has creatures that Earth doesn't have... so how can you predict that these land animals couldn't breathe underwater?? Just because they don't look like fish doesn't mean they can't breathe underwater, you know what I mean?

[Qurange]

Well, if we accept that the FF8 world has things like physics and so on, even if there are some variations (magic's presence in a world can make things a bit different), I don't see anything that says that they might /not/ have been animals that existed however long ago, before the Lake was underwater. We aren't given an exact age of the FF8 world, but there's no reason to assume that it doesn't have a lot of history.

Of course, they could just be dragons who lived underwater or whatever, but either works.

Landscape changes throughout the years.

Actually I believe it was the Lunar cry Who enabled the flood on this area.
As I already said,the floor on the central triangular area of the world must me not too deep considering that they created a big bridge and a city on the middle.
This shows there is a lost flooded continent here which includes also the dried GSL.

Considering this we conclude that the landscape around the lake are the top of high mountains.

Which means that the sea level on FH era is different than the sea level on Galbadia and other eras.
However a trick on the WOTC system made the waters seemed aligned.
When people time travel they also get higher on space.

you know...if they live underwater, they wouldnt have any use of legs...They wouldnt have legs.

Future Estar where in the hell do you get this stuff. I mean seriously, whats with the WOTC and stuff your always talking about.

not true... some marine animals do have "legs"... eg. crabs, lobsters, fish, etc

So the big WOTC, changed the planet and now his present vision is the world map that we all know. It does make sense... I mean it would explain the link between FH and Esthar city. Some big part of the land on this area is underwater. I think that I understood your point of view.

NOT ONLY THIS. THERE'S EVEN MORE.
