Machine Faction

One of the many groups in the world of Final Fantasy X-2 that cropped up around Spira with the arrival of the "Eternal Calm." The Machine Faction aims to propagate the use of machina in Spira, going as far as renaming "machina" to "machines" to remove any lingering stigma.

The leader is Gippal, an Al Bhed and who, after Yuna defeats Sin, starts the Machine Faction in the abandoned Djose Temple with a connection on Bikanel Island, where people can join and excavate in the desert.

Unlike the Youth League and New Yevon, other groups formed in the aftermath of Sin's destruction, the Machine Faction is neutral, providing its machines to both sides.

In the closing scenes of Final Fantasy X-2 is is not known whether Gippal dispands the Machine Faction, like Nooj, Meyvn of the Youth League and, Baralai, praetor of New Yevon have dispanded their groups in order to reunite Spira. General belief is that since the Machine Faction was on neither side and had no conflict with any group, that this faction remained.
