"A world of monsters. Many works of art and epics about the moon throughout history are evidence of its mystical powers."

—FFVIII Info Corner

The moon is an important story element in Final Fantasy VIII. All monsters in Final Fantasy VIII come from the moon, brought over to the planet during the event known as the Lunar Cry. It is possible that this happens when the moon is in its closest position to the planet. The Crystal Pillar is also believed to have come from the moon.

Esthar's Lunar Base is located close to the moon, as well as Adel's Tomb. The spaceship Ragnarok is also found here.

In the game's ending FMV, right before the words The End appear, Balamb Garden is shown against the moon, and the moon's face seems to display Griever's silhouette.

TriviaEdit

• The positions of the craters of this moon are the same of those of the moon of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Both are based on the real moon. The big crater in the middle is Mare Crisium.
