    EDIT: Traditional numbers were used instead the suffixes in the older FF titles, well for the English titles as much as I know, so you can see it as getting back to the original roots

    This was mostly due to character limitations inherent in older games, and was changed to standard names in every game after VIII, including remakes of every game in the series but VII (the only one with no remake). Official English translations of the original, II, III, IV, V, VI, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, and all Tactics games use the standard naming, only XIV uses the numbering system instead.

    Plus their reasoning is ridiculous to boot. "III" sounds like it's better than "II," which does not make things easier on newer players at all.

    Also this guy is right.

    Basically, Playstation 1 version of FFV will be named with numbers, the GBA version will have -ra, -ga suffixes. Which is the case.

    Which is funny because the Japanese and German versions use -ra -ga, French using something weird and English being the only ones who use II, III.

    Yeah, so when you think about it, the whole "prevent stress" and "prevent confusion" excuses we get are ....basically to be "Considerate" to the english player base.

    That said, I don't mind the spells being the way they are now. Sure, I'd like the -ra/-ga/-ja/etc. suffixes, but I'm not going to throw a fit over it.

    How about no? Final Fantasy games are only connected together via a few recurring themes and possibly some throwbacks to previous games. The FFXIII universe has little to no relevance to the FFXIV universe, and vice versa (crossovers notwithstanding). We don't need this type of attitude here, calm down and stop forcing your beliefs on others, you won't get any supporters that way.

    no its just a fact if someone isnt going to have enough respect for ff serise then they dont belong in the newer ones until they earn that respect as a fan of ff by following all the others no excuse for become confused by things since this is Xiv meaning there are others before this one they could go back and play only 2 hours to clear most of the ffs 8 if u do everything in em
