FFXIV Healer Strike and the 'How would you fix it?' line

[CVXIV]

One minor thing, the reason we don't have spells that go above IV is because the Japanese version doesn't use numbers, they use the more commonly seen base>-ra>-ga>-ja suffixes, it's why we didn't get Blizzard V and Fire V, but rather High Blizzard and High Fire, there is no spell tier above -ja, so they use a new spell instead.

Which is honestly really sad we don't get those spells
As someone who has played a lot of the older final fantasy games, it would've been cool to have that

There is an argument to be made that numbered spells are also traditionally FF since early localizations had to use numbers due to a very strict character limits of 4 on spell names, which led to numbers being used, you didn't even get Fire 2, you got FIR2 and you had to like it, perhaps that mood is what the localization team was aiming for.



But I agree with you, the -ra/-ga are used in so many more games, and while -ja is sparsely seen, it's more that the final tier of spells is sparsely used period.
