==Localization differences==
In the Japanese version of {{XI}} anathematise is actually [[Divine Intervention]], as the localized term shares the same attributes as the spell did in previous games. The ability known as divine intervention in the international version is named ''Goddess' Blessings'' (女神の祝福) in the original Japanese.


It is unknown why the spell was given a new name for the English release, but it is possible that the divine intervention term was deemed more appropriate for a "hail Mary" ability that can turn the tide of battle when needed most.
