Flare vs Verflare / Holy vs Verholy

[Rongway]

Potency in game alone, Flare hits for 260 potency, Holy for 200 potency and Verflare/Verholy hits for 550 potency. While it makes RDM version stronger, keep in mind that their spells are single target spells whereas the 'originals' are AOE spells.

Flare is 468 to the first target, actually, since the BLM casting it will be affected by Astral Fire III, then 398 to the second target, and then further diminishing potencies on further targets.
