Al bhed

The Al Bhed are a race of technologically advanced people first introduced in Final Fantasy X (FFX). The term 'Al Bhed' refers to both the race and their language - a simple rearrangement of the English alphabet. The tribe, shunned for their use in 'machina' (machines) for war by the other peoples of Spira, the world of FFX, simply wishes to achieve the same goal as everyone else - ending misery and destruction. Their strategy is to use technology to accomplish this feat, whereas the rest of Spira hopes that repenting their sins would be enough. This, in the real world, is real - the struggle between science and religion.
