SE Mixed Up Names

Sorry to start a new thread on this: but I am hoping it gets seen.

SE mixed up spell names, imo.

WHM Should have Cures/Succor (Name of group heal- not change in mechanics)

SCH Should have Adloquium/Medica (Names of Spells, again no mechanics change)

SCH has the Latin naming convention, while WHM has the general English/Nature sounding names.

I think they mixed up the names on the group heals. Maybe one was pre-exisitng from 1.0... but they should be uniform in the naming conventions for the jobs.

Pointless.

So, it doesn't matter to you. Okay. Thanks for taking the time to post on something that you obviously don't care about. Your negativity and trolling is appreciated.

I hope it relieved your boredom.

No... it's actually pointless.
Doesn't matter if they see this or not.
They're not gonna change the names of spells because you think it will fit a theme.

Well, you aren't them. Thank you for your opinion. You have made it clear this doesn't matter to you.

If they don't think it is worth their attention, fine. I just wanted to point it out. It seems a little sloppy to me, and I would like to see it fixed.

What if they wanted each healer to have an English-named heal and a Latin-named heal?
Dismiss Ephany as a troll all you please, but this is extremely nitpicky and I prefer it as is.
What a silly thread.

It is nitpicky, but still something I noticed. Maybe they did intend to mix it up, if so then fine. It's not a silly thread just because it's not important to you. The forum exist for people to bring up issues. It's certainly not game breaking, but it is something I noticed.

Not every thread has to be a complaint thread asking for class buffs or complaining that some FC in game exploited a bug.

What about Cura? MEDICA SHOULD BE RENAMED CURA ;-;


>.> w/e idc.

Why are you guys ragging on the OP? Did you jump on all of the threads pointing out textual issues on the Beta-forums? I doubt it. Very much. Just leave him be.
OP, I for one appreciate your efforts to correct an error. As does everyone else who actually appreciates a game filled with artistry and lore.

Though if we're going to get really technical, "medica" when used as a nominative noun as it is here actually means the person able to perform the healing, not the healing itself; "medica" can also only refer to a female healer (a male would be a "medicus") which creates more problems with the use of Latin by a localization team that doesn't fully understand how to use it... "Adloquium" refers to encouraging words spoken TO someone (it is actually a compound of ad+loquium which gives it direction), and doesn't have any medical connotations unless you want to get all philosophical about it.

Ok but honestly, they didn't mix up the names.

Definitions of each word:

Succor
suc·cor
ˈsəkər/
noun
noun: succour; noun: succor

1.
assistance and support in times of hardship and distress.
synonyms: aid, help, a helping hand, assistance;

Succor does just that, it assists with a heal, and supports with a shield.

Medica

Medicago (family: Fabaceae, the legume family) is a genus of flowering plants, commonly known as medick or burclover. The name is based on Latin medica 'alfalfa, lucerne,' from μηδική (πόα) 'Median (grass).'

Which fits perfectly in line with the White Mage's nature theme.

Thanks for the thoughtful response! You know, I actually misread Medica the first time I saw it as "Medicus". I agree that using a word with a conjugated ending is precarious. Adloquium was a bit strange, but I didn't think completely off base... encouragement- well okay I can see it.

I generally really like the scholar naming conventions... I liked them in XI, too. I am hoping that as the class is developed, they will include more of abilities that follow this naming convention... I just would like to see them done correctly, because I am very intrigued by the names they choose.

(Nouns decline; verbs conjugate ;) )
I have quite liked that naming conventions from both XI and XIV; there are countless mythological references from civilizations the world over, especially with regards to monsters. It seems that using Latin for scholar would make more sense given the title of the class, but continuity of their naming conventions would be a nice thing, regardless of which language they choose.
It would probably sound really odd to laypeople if they actually used proper Latin forms for things though. I mean, using nouns for actions just strikes me as odd; I feel that the naming of actions should take a verbal form. How do you conjugate it though? Using a present infinitive form would make the most sense, but then everything would end in -re...

I don't know, it would be interesting to see. Every since Aegolism, I have been pretty open to whatever lol. If nothing else, it's fun to see people try to pronounce.

Again, dont know why people are jumping all over this thread. like you said not everything needs to be about class issues. Jeez.

I do think WHM should of gotten Cura though.
