And by that I mean it was time for me to fly around at a slugs pace searching all around the world for Esthar for hours until I finally got to FH and something different happened. It's possible that I missed something and I hope that was the case because I don't know how the game expected me to know what to do.

User Info: Fallacia Fallacia Moderator 12 years ago 3 One thing that I do like about this game is that there are a couple of instances where you have to resort logic and the process of elimination if you did forget something or just didn't let it process in the previous conversations with NPCs. User Info: phiefer3 phiefer3 12 years ago 4 Fallacia, your logic doesn't really work here since you don't go to FH to get to Esthar, well plotwise you do, but gameplay wise you don't.

User Info: phiefer3 phiefer3 12 years ago 6 Really? So, why didn't Ultimecia possess Ellone at the Lunar Base? Adamantoises are one tough mothers. Side Quest. Where can I find Lionheart Ingredients? Eventually they began to focus on military affairs aided by their superior technology, which culminated as the Sorceress War under the rule of Sorceress Adel.

It is unknown when Adel was inaugurated as the nation's ruler, but she made a bid for world domination, which was opposed by Galbadia's growing military. During the war Adel sought out potential heirs to her sorceress power and sent out search teams across the world. She set her eyes on a young girl named Ellone in the rural Galbadian town of Winhill , but when the Estharian forces kidnapped her Laguna Loire , her caretaker, went after her.

Following her to Esthar, he would become instrumental in Adel's downfall, staging a coup, trapping her in a stasis chamber and blasting her into space to prevent her from passing on her sorceress power.

Esthar closed its borders to the rest of the world, and was ever since known as "The Silent Nation. The president rules the nation from the palace in the center of the city, though in the Final Fantasy VIII Ultimania it is mentioned that the title is more symbolic and most of the political affairs are handled by the aides and the rest of the government. The city is hidden from the rest of the world by a cloaking device that renders it invisible to persons crossing the Great Salt Lake.

Crossing the Horizon Bridge is considered the only way of entering the country, as air travel doesn't appear to exist in the world of Final Fantasy VIII , perhaps due to the radio interference. Its soldiers' powers are enhanced by their special armor, and they wield swords that have built-in shotguns. The Ultimania reveals that Esthar is developing mechanized soldiers, which will eventually replace people in military service.

A common concern is that the soldiers rely too much on the enhancement suits, and the refining of their natural strength is neglected. Adel and her time in power are somewhat of taboo subjects, and the younger generation, never having experienced the torments of living under the sorceress's rule, are largely ignorant on the details.

Seventeen years after Esthar hid itself away from the the world Squall is searching for Ellone, wanting her help in saving a comatose Rinoa. Squall sets out to cross the Horizon Bridge on foot, the only known way into the mysterious nation. The rest of the party follows him with Sorceress Edea , who wants Dr. Odine 's help in getting rid of her sorceress powers so that Ultimecia , an evil sorceress from the future who reaches back in time to inhabit other sorceresses to do her bidding, may not possess her again.

They meet Dr. Odine in Esthar who examines Edea and Rinoa. Edea is no longer a sorceress, as she had unknowingly passed her powers on during the Battle of the Gardens. Squall learns Ellone has gone to the Lunar Base , Esthar's space station said to study the moon , but its true purpose is to oversee Adel's tomb that rests on the earth's orbit.

They have salvaged the Lunatic Pandora from the bottom of the sea, and with it, induce the Lunar Cry , which brings down Adel's tomb, along with a swarm of monsters. Esthar takes a heavy blow from the Lunar Cry, the capital being overridden by lunar creatures.

Upon arriving at the city they suddenly fall asleep and enter a dream world of the past. Upon awakening they meet with Dr. Odine who advises them to go out to Esthar's Lunar Base space station to talk to Ellone. Squall splits his group, taking his group into space, while Zell's group protects Sorceress Edea , who has traveled with the party seeking a cure for her sorceress powers.

Soon after, the Galbadian army, led by Seifer , lay siege on the city. With them is the salvaged Lunatic Pandora , which the Galbadians are steering toward Tears' Point , intent on catalyzing a Lunar Cry in the Esthar heartland. Zell's group devises a plan to board the vessel, but they are repelled by its crew, leaving the artifact to to reach its destination with a disastrous result; the city is overrun as a torrent of monsters overwhelm the Esthar troops.

Only the presidential palace remains untouched. Laguna and Dr. Odine come up with a plan to stop Sorceress Ultimecia who is guiding Seifer's actions from the future, and Squall's SeeD team is invited to the palace. Laguna explains the plan which would require Rinoa's and Ellone's help, the former now cured from her coma. Laguna accompanies the party as they launch at attack on the Lunatic Pandora. The largest location in terms of size on the world map, Esthar City covers the entire western portion of the continent.

On the world map itself, the blue skyways and large skyscrapers are visible. Players can only enter the central districts of the city close to the Presidential Palace by either landing on the airstation or traveling to the Presidential Building on the world map.

Esthar City is a vast futuristic metropolis notable for luminous, sleek, blue skyscrapers with a chrome finish, built around the Presidential Palace, an immense building with golden chambers around its circular roof.

Transportation comes in the form of platform shuttles through red tube highways and translucent blue pathways. The city is far more technologically advanced than any other nation in the world. In the inner districts, the player can travel between locations of Esthar City using its highways for an easy route across. In the outer districts on the world map, the player can only traverse the red and blue skyways.

Before the Lunar Cry, monsters may be encountered on the overworld map of Esthar only, but after the said event, monsters can be found inside. Odine's laboratory is located south-west of the Presidential Residence. The lab is Odine's primary lab where he conducts sorceress research and research into Ellone's powers. In his other lab outside the city, the Lunatic Pandora Laboratory , he conducts research on the Lunatic Pandora.

The chrome building is entered through a brown skyway, where a Quake draw point is found in front of the building. The first room is a relatively long room with yellow ovoid pods on either side, a red tube at the top, and a circular elevator in the center of the room, with a Double draw point found to the right of it. The door at the end of the room leads to an inner blue room, while the elevator leads up to the red tube and through to the second floor, with a hidden and a hidden Flare draw point which never refills found in front of a door into the next room.

This room is a red room with terminals on the right and a glass overlooking the room containing test subjects, including Ellone during Laguna's flashback. West in prospective to the Presidential Residence, the airstation is a building that provides docking privileges for aircraft such as the Ragnarok.

The background where Ragnarok is stationed in Esthar Airstation before the Lunar Cry the sky is blue exists in the game data, but it can never be seen in-game as the player can access Ragnarok only after Lunar Cry has already occurred, and the sky is always tinted pink. The Presidential Palace is the largest building in Esthar City, visible from the world map, and from many of the other areas of the city. It is home of the presidential staff and the president himself. Sorceress Adel once ruled from this palace and now her stasis chamber is shaped in the Presidential Palace's image.

Backgrounds with a blue tint from before the Lunar Cry exist in the game data, but the palace can only ever be visited after the Lunar Cry has occurred. The Occult Fan IV magazine can be found here. To obtain it, the player must leave the palace after Dr. Odine takes Rinoa to his care, and then return there before going to space to find the magazine.

Additionally, a Blizzard draw point can be found outside the palace. A presidential aide has the Phoenix card as part of Queen of Cards sidequest. The queen herself is found here on the elevator landing if she says she is going to Esthar. There is a picture depicting downtown Winhill above the waiting room doors. The streets of Esthar are more expansive than in any other location, and consist of bright blue translucent walkways high above the city.

The player can ride platforms between the areas. Esthar City does not have a hotel , but turning up from Dr. Odine's lab, or down from the Airstation, finds an area with a save point and a beaming light above. Walking through the light beam heals the party to full health.

Combat King can be obtained from a soldier on a bridge during the Lunatic Pandora incident.
