Miasma 2

[Mhaeric]

The numbers are the order in which the spells are earned, which in the case of Miasma is split across two jobs because it's an Arcanist ability. I'm not sure what's confusing or too clever about that.

Eh, it's one of those things you can only shrug at. In ARR it used to irk me how Contagion wasn't the skill that spread your DoTs, and Fester wasn't the skill that extended their timers, but it's not like it ruins the playing experience so you just roll with it.

They were earned, SMN or arcanist don't learn miasma 2 at all only SCH, the clever part was not because of spell nomenclature was more about the more varied localization that sometimes goes too far (hunt hints were terrible)

That said I'm sry but I don't think that the ENG client should be for the special kids, since it's the only client that uses the numbers instead of the other nomenclature, frankly there's no problem in eitherway, but the explanation given is contradictory and it's an immersion breaker for a fan of the franchise, I'm expressing my right of complaint on this one

Are. Miasma is an Arcanist ability. Sch gets an AoE version first so it's number 2, and Summoner gets its upgrade to the single target version after so it's number 3.

[Remedi]

And they were fine with having miasma 3 without beign a miasma 2 at all so what's your point exactly?
It's clear that they were fine with it because the other clients use the normal nomenclature, but it was extremely cringy for a SMN to learn miasma 3 while there were no miasma 2 even on the SCH side

I repeat only for the NA/ENG was considered to do this change, do they think we are stupid?

[Mhaeric]

Just you, apparently.

[Remedi]

I don't recall insinuating that you were stupid, but thanks for the gratuitous offense anyway

[Mhaeric]

Just the player base. The numbers are not because anyone thinks we're stupid.

Your insinuation that that is why SE did it is an over the top level of upset over this, and is very strange. Although, come to think of it that does fit with your posting MO so I guess it's just par for the course. They're numbered in order of level obtained. Simple as that.

[Remedi]

No they gave us the explanation that since in the franchise -ra, -ga, -ja or w/e were used to define higher level, stronger and better spells than the ones before, ppl would've found it confusing coming to FF14 and finding them having different effects and not being a direct updrage (this was in ARR btw)
I call BS on that because numbering system has been used in FFXI to define stronger spells and on wow as a ranking for power of certain spells as such that explanation was wrong, also on wow you wouln't say that pyroblast is a direct upgrade to fireball or fireball a direct upgrade of scorch.
For this reasons I don't agree with the localization team answer and they idd implied that ppl were not that bright to figure that themselves.
So ye it's BS answer and I call on them, as much as other ppl call them on other BS
Wanna know something? If they said that they went for the numbers instead of suffixed because it was an homage to the first ENG FFs I would've been quiet, because it would've been an honest answer, instead they choose the dishonest way and should be called out for

Also, I want to point out your argument is wrong because for a time we had a miasma 3 without beign a miasma 2 at all in the game, till they added it back some patch laters, they could've just called it miasma 2 for all we know before readding it, but I suppose they went for miasmaga in the other clients which mind you is not unheard of in FF of going from normal spells to -ga level instantly and to keep constintency they called it miasma 3 for our client.

That said, you are fine with it, ok fine by me

[Mhaeric]

So you are saying that SE specifically said NA players ate too stupid to understand suffix notations. I will let you in on a secret. They didn't, but you read it into their statement. Ergo, you are the one coming up with that concept of NA players being stupid.

Also, you are way too emotionally invested in this. It's ability names. Be like Elsa, and let it go.
