Cure 3 sucks balls and is removed. you can choose what to replace with!

Or you know, just fix it to be a proper Curaga (8~10 yalms), and call it friggin Curaga, cause it's a Curaga (with stuper gimp range as it is now).

I hope you realize the numbering convention was used for spells forever in FF titles. Its not a new idea. In fact its how it originally was. I'm not even sure when the ura and aga suffixes were added.

Actually, it hasn't. The reason why Cure Cur2 Cur3 was used since the beginning of North American Final Fantasy titles is because they only had a four or five character limit in the data for spells and they needed a way to showcase the increasing power. Where as JP script allows to more condensed lettering.

ケアル = Cure = Cure I or CURE
ケアルラ = Cura = Cure II or CUR2
ケアルガ = Curaga = Cure III or CUR3
ケアルジャ = Curaja = Cure IV or CUR4

You can see the original naming conventions in the remakes of the games plus how they named them from what I believe to be Final Fantasy VIII and on (but don't quote me on that).

XI took that to a different level. Instead of these differences denoting tiers of power, they denoted differences in functionality.

Cure spells = single target
Curaga spells = AoE heals around a particular target
Cura = AoE heal centralized around the caster

Higher tiers (Cure II, Curaga IV, Cura III, etc) indicated more potency versions of the base spell.
