Besaid Island is famous for its fabrics and the clothes it produces. It was originally a city which relied heavily on machina until it was completely destroyed by Sin. Its ruins now remain as a monument to Sin's power, and still has remains of machina which house ancient weapons. It is home to the blitzball team Besaid Aurochs, who have never won a game in the ten years that Wakka was playing for them. It was attacked by Sin shortly before Yuna's pilgrimage to become a High Summoner.
