    Well, it's exactly the same as in FF7, so M-Barrier would work too.

    Can't remember the details, but back in Beta, the translation team instituted some policy that Fire > Fire II > Fire III was better than Fire > Fira > Firaga for dumb unintuitive English-speaking people that have never played a Final Fantasy before, so the Japanese have Fire/Fira/Firaga and the English version has Fire/Fire II/Fire III. Same for Cure/Miasma/Medica etc (which are Cura/Miasra/Medicara for the II versions in Japanese). The policy wasn't completely implemented though, which is why some enemies (like aforementioned Succubi) are still using "Thundaga".

    Their game, their policy, but I really don't get the Hallowed Ground thing.

    edit: Speaking of sneaky translation changes, a friend of mine was going on about how they ninja changed "Salted Butter" to "Smooth Butter" in the last hotfix - probably (as I pointed out) because there's no salt involved in the recipe.
