Logistics

[mimi_sardinia]

Just thinking of some of the logistics of FF8, where does a super-city like Esthar get it's food? The plains? I suspect then they'd be in for some serious problems post-game. Some of the fics I have read about SeeD coming in to help clean out the monsters called by the Lunar Cry sounds sensible because I imagine the plains around Esther are their prime farmland and it wouldn't do the economy much good if all those monsters are interfering with growing crops (the year's crops are probably lost already anyway so it's probably just as well that the country seems to be damn rich - they'd need it for both the general aid needed and for hiring every damn SeeD Squall can mobilize).

Meh, My mind is currently stuck on FF8.

They probably have some sort of high-tech hydroponics thing going for vegies, fish farms for seafood...not sure about red meat though...fresh cut dragon steaks? *grin*

Hmm, possibly, though I'd love to see a fic that tackles the logistics of farmland ruined by monsters summoned by the Lunar Cry and Laguna trying to cope with the resulting famine.

Food? Ah... remember those things from Star Trek: TNG? Those thingys where you're like "Earl Grey. Warm." and it suddenly materializes out of no where? That's how they eat.

Hmm... I'd believe that of Esthar! ^_^
