The Lunar Cry refers to an event in Final Fantasy VIII.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
It is said that when the Lunatic Pandora, a magical pillar of evil portent, is in perfect alignment with the moon, the Lunar Cry can be performed, and monsters will be summoned from the moon to wreak infernal havoc on earth. It happened once before in the past. When the Cry was performed, monsters came down from the moon and destroyed the entire Centra continent, leaving only ruins.
When Seifer, under the control of Ultimecia raises the Lunatic Pandora from the sea, he steers it towards Tears' Point, a structure built where exists the most effective place to perform a Lunar Cry. He performs the Cry, and up in Outer Space, a possessed Rinoa releases Sorceress Adel.
