    High Fire/Blizzard II confused me so much when I got them because I was like "Where's High Fire/Blizzard I? Did I somehow skip something?"
    Nope, XIV's English skill naming convention has just gotten weird and convoluted over the years. ꉂ (´∀`)ʱªʱªʱª
    I've seen a few newbies get confused by this and think that Fire II was an upgrade to Fire, so they should spam that, regardless of if the situation is single-target or AoE.
    Hell, just look at WHM, Glare > Glare III, like we're going to get an AoE Glare II. No clue why Holy III is a thing either. ( ಡ艸ಡ)

    Japanese and German have the traditional FF suffixes (Spell > Spella > Spellga > Spellja (JP) or Spellka (DE)), while French adds a word in front of their spell upgrades (Spell > Extra Spell > Méga Spell > Giga Spell).
