Spell names

[Enkidoh]

Well, to be fair to SE, due to translation differences the 'ga', 'ra' thing didn't start appearing in English-translations of the series til FFVIII - all the FF titles translated into English up to that point (ala, FFI, IV, VI and VII, plus the PSX version of Tactics) used a spell name followed by a roman numeral or number (ala, Bolt, Bolt 2, Bolt 3, or Ice II, Cure III etc). And to confuse things even more, FFXI used both - suffixes like 'ga' and 'ra' to refer to a spell having a specific effect (such as AoE or multi-target) while retaining the numbers to show a spell increasing in potency (ala, spell 'tiers').

Really, and this is because I'm an old-school FF fan, I prefer the number system rather than the silly 'ga' and 'ra' things, so I'm happy with Ferne's choice to go back to the spell numbering system in ARR. But then I'm also one of those heretics who still prefers the sound a chocobo makes to be written as the classic 'wark' instead of that silly phonetic 'kweh/kway' thing the modern FF games have.
