An Al Bhed? Oh. We're a race of people on Spira who live in the desert and still use machina. Most of the people here shun machina and blame them - along with other indulgences - for the downfall of the world and for bringing Sin down upon us. Sin is gone now, but people are still warming up to the idea of using machina again. The Al Bhed have always known better. That's cause we're awesome!
