@Alchemist yes however anime themed games and to that extension JRPGs are on topic here so long as the question isn't about game mechanics and given that the answer to this doesn't at all help with gameplay but gives me a bit more understanding of the Al Bhed I figured it would still be on topic here

@Alchemist I'm not sure about all (like Tomb Raider, Hitman and Deus Ex) but I think at the least Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. might just check with the Meta on Dragon Quest but it's art style is very similar to that of Dragon Ball Z so I think it qualifies

Yeah and Kingdom Hearts too. That's definitely the anime type.

**It's *probably* "Ajanouha ihtan!", which means "Everyone under!"**

There's [a forum thread on GameFAQs about this particular question](https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197344-final-fantasy-x/60747335).
