Big Crater in the trabia contintet

[The Last Oath]

Has anyone ever noticed that big crater/hole in the trabia continet? Well if you try driving the garden into it Nida says something about "the controls are going berserk". I've never been able to put my finger on this one. Anyone got any clue to what this could relate too?

[DMKA]

I've always wondered what the hell that was about too.

[The Devourer Of Worlds]

NFI. Crappy translation? It was probably supposed to be ‘the heat levels are off the chart’ or something.

[Skyblade]

It's the Crater from FFVII...

Actually, it's the place where the last Lunar Cry hit.

[The Last Oath]

i thought that was the case as well, but didnt the 1st lunar cry destroy centra? or hit on esthar because it can only be called from tears point?

[Squall8046]

the lunar cry can only be called from tears point with lunatic pandora. The crater is something else all together but dont ask me what.

[Sir Bahamut]

the lunar cry can only be called from tears point with lunatic pandora. The crater is something else all together but dont ask me what.

Wrong. The lunar cry is a naturally occuring phenomenon, but happens very rarely. Tears Point has some natural attraction to a lunar cry or something, while the Lunatic Pandora was specifically built to cause a lunar cry by using a massive moonstone. Combining the two is simply a way of triggering a lunar cry without having to wait thousands of years!

So as Skyblade said, the Trabia Crater is the previous location of a lunar cry. The lunar cry that wiped out Centra was another lunar cry. Several have occured throughout history. From the Tutorial:

Lunar Cry
Refers to monsters falling from the moon. Completely destroyed the cities of
Centra. Occurs when monsters reach a saturation point on the moon. It's
believed that there are factors on the planet that cause this phenomenon.
This phenomenon has occurred many times in history and will reoccur in the
future.

Lunatic Pandora
An enclosure for Crystal Pillar made by Esthar. 3 miles tall and 1.5 miles
wide, the enormous enclosure boasts a high-tech facility. It floats by causing
a reaction with the Crystal Pillar. A stone from the moon is sealed inside. It
was probably built to cause the Lunar Cry through artificial means.

Crystal Pillar
A crystal that causes the Lunar Cry by producing a strong energy field between
the planet and the moon. It's believed to have originated in the moon. The
Crystal Pillar responds to a specific location on the planet, and sends a
strong directional signal. More research is required to analyse this process
in detail.

Tears' Point
Lunar Cry's point of origin determined by Esthar scientists. A security box
restraining the power of the Crystal Pillar and ground energy field is set up.
It is sealed to prevent the Crystal Pillar from entering the area.

[The Last Oath]

ok, that makes sense now. Another mystery solved.

[The Devourer Of Worlds]

Huh, you know all this time I thought that the crater was caused by the missiles that were heading to Trabia Garden.

Everything makes a weird sort of sense now...

[CStrife]

Always learning new stuff..........

[Stayin Dizzy]

heres game evidence its the lunar cry

[Future Esthar]

The meaning of the message is simple:

Every time Balamb Garden time travels,it´s gauge rotates faster.The more further the era the more it rotates and therefore the more it needs RSU (R. Steam Units)
There is a division between eras there with an holographic wall between them.This wall passes on the middle of the crater.These two eras are distant in time so the Garden ´doesn´t had enough RSU to cross through it.

Don´t worry,I will not proceed with this without trying to give a proof.

[Sir Bahamut]

Future Esthar, you already have more than one theory for your 'theories', so if you want to start up with your 'theories', do it somewhere else.

[Future Esthar]

At this point I have only one thread.

[DMKA]

Makes sense to me.
