Lunarians

[Dirges for Damcyan]

Hey all. It has been a while since I finished, but does anyone know where the Lunarians are originally from? Their name implies that they are in fact from the moon (hence the redundancy of the "Lunarian moon") but I was wondering if originally they had their own planet? If somebody knows, please enlighten me, but if not perhaps we could engage in some conjecture?

I think that the had to have originated on their own planet somewhere. The moon is, by my understanding, artificial, and thus had to be built somewhere. I could see them being the last survivors of some sort of cataclysm, and thus they were the chosen few, along with Namingway's group and the summon god Bahamut. What do you think?

If I remember correctly they lived on a planet further out in the solar system, not too far, like around what we would call Jupiter or something like that, and then their planet was going to be destroyed so the came to earth (which i think is called the blue planet), and decided to like you said, create the moon and slept there until the day humans would accept them

 

[Atma]

Actually, I don't recall any such information being mentioned in the original game. I'm not sure if The After mentions it or anything but I do know that the original game mentions nothing of the Lunarian's homeland. Well...nothing except that it's a pretty worthwhile distance.

 

[Dragard]

It mentions the stuff in the DS version.

 

[Atma]

Ahh I see. If that is correct then I have to get me a copy of that game. What does it say? I am not worried about spoilers like other whiners.

 

[Busta]

I am not worried about spoilers like other whiners.

I wouldn't necessarily call someone who doesn't want the game spoiled a whiner; similar to how I wouldn't call someone who just lost a loved one to a tragic death a crybaby. Keep the insults to yourself.

As for the Lunarians home Atma and Dirges, it's right before you get Fusoya in your party:

Spoiler

Cecil: Who are you?

Man: I am Fusoya, and I am charged with watching over the slumber of the
Lunarians.

Rosa: Lunarians?

Fusoya: Yes...we, the people of the moon. Long ago, the world that lay between
the Red Planet and the Great Behemoth stood at the verge of destruction, both
terrible and complete. The last survivors of that devastation boarded a ship
and escaped to the Blue Planet.

Cecil: Blue Planet?

Fusoya: The one that you call home. But your planet was still in the midst of
its evolution, you see. And so those travelers created a second moon for the
planet, and there they settled into a long and quiet slumber.

Edge: And they're the ones you called the Lunarians.

Fusoya: Indeed. But there was one among us who was loath to sleep. He thought
it fit that we should simply raze all existing life on the Blue Planet, and
claim it as our own.

Rydia: That's horrible.

Fusoya. Yes. And so I used my powers to force him into hibernation with the
others. But as he slept, his will grew stronger and took on a consciousness all
its own. It reached out to men with tainted hearts on your planet, twisting
them into beings yet darker still. And through them, he began to gather the
Crystals.

Cecil: So he was manipulating Golbez!

Edge: Does this guy have a name?

Fusoya: His name is Zemus. The Crystals function as a source of energy, you
see. I fear he has gathered them in order to activate the interdimensional
elevator within the Tower of Babil. With it, he will be able to transport the
Giant of Babil to your planet and use it to extinguish all life there.

Rosa: Oh, no...

Fusoya: But do not be mistaken. His will is not that of all we Lunarians. The
rest of us have been waiting quietly for your planet's people to progress to
such a point that we might treat with one another as equals. We but wait and
sleep, dreaming of that day.

Cecil: And the Lunar Whale, where did it come from?

Fusoya: Ah, the ship...My younger brother Kluya built that vessel long ago, and
flew it to the Blue Planet. He took with him several of our secrets, such as
the ones employed in your Devil's Road and in airships - a gift to your people.
Kluya was fascinated by your planet and wished to know more of it. And while he
was there, he fell in love with a woman of your planet. She later bore him two
children. One of them was you.

Cecil: What!? Me? Then, that voice I heard at Mount Ordeals-

Fusoya: -was the spirit of your father. Indeed...you are the very image of
Kluya in his youth.

Cecil: So it was my father!

Fusoya: He vested you with his power so that you might prevent Zemus's plot
from coming to fruition. Zemus must be stopped! For your planet's sake, and for
that of my people as well. We must hurry to the Tower of Babil near Eblan.

Edge: The Tower? It's protected by some kind of barrier now. There's no way in!

Fusoya: I should be able to bypass the barrier. We must not let the Giant of
Babil be unleashed upon your world!

Whoohoo! Awesome, thanks man!

Sorry about the whiner part. I'm used to so many people crying about it it's not even funny.
