Why Aren't Thunder Spells Actually Called Lightning in the Game?

[Grey_Cain]

I hope you all know that the Japanese version of Blizzard I, II, and III are named Blizzard, Blizzara and Blizzaga in FFXIV:ARR. The reason it's named the way it is now is because the English translation crew wished it that way.

ブリザガ=>Burizaga

They also pointed out that the -ra and -ga suffixes (and -ja, -na, and -da for that matter) are meaningless terms with no relation to any Japanese language conventions. Basically, a more faithful translation of the Blizzard line would be: Blizzard (no suffix), Blizzazzle, and Blizzeezy.

Also, I'm 100% in favor of bringing back Bolt.
