Explain to me how the monsters that were on Esthar before the Lunar Cry disappeared.Where did they go?
(I know the answer).

What the smurf?

And:



There you have the monsters heading to Galbadia.

Crew Member: Tons of monsters...! I...I believe they're headed for Tears' Point in Esthar...

Researcher: Then that means Lunatic Pandora is at Tears' Point. When
did this happen!?

It was mentioned by the Crew Member that they are heading towards Tear's Point.



The above pic show that the wave of monster start to dispel at a certain point.




Apprantely, it had dispered high up in the sky(sky above Galbadia if your case applies)due to the effect of the Lunatic Pandora. The point of impact won't be Galbadia and also this is why the sky in Esthar is red since it will spread to somewhere pretty far which will be Esthar. But it is still likely that they dispered above the sky of Esthar instead but this too explains why monsters didn't shown up in Galbadia if your case apply since it is possible for the monsters to spread this far being manipulated by the Lunatic Pandora.



Lastly, we can certain that those dispered landed onto Esthar and Adel Tomb was caught halfway although I highly doubt that pic of yours was Galbadia in the very first place.

It sure doesn't look like it to me cause the target isn't Galbadia in the first place since the Galbadian won't be dumb enough to destroy their own hometown and judging from that pic if it is really Galbadia, it is somewhere on the edge of the continent which happen to be where Tears Point is in the Esthar continent.

Also, since there are so much lies in the game, the shape of the continent shown in the world map might be lying too just like what the creators of the game want us to think.

EDIT: To add on to this, normal lunar cry just smack onto the ground unlike the one that happens in disc 3 which was initiated over Tear Point. They won't want to destroy their own facility won't they?
They used gravity manipulation of the Crystal Pillar to dispel it into the sky and allow Adel's Tomb to descend and grab hold of it.
