The name given to any machine in
Spira by the Yevon Clergy. Most
machina are offensive weapons, a perfect example being the colossus
Vegnagun, created 1000 years ago. Nowadays, there is a difference between machina and machines. Machines are custom made, often from old or scrapped machina parts.
Machina are any mechanical device used by Yevon or New Yevon.
