I'm just some guy...


 
			
			
				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.



 
			
			
				FFV PS1 version says, Fire, Fire2, Fire3, Ice, Ice2, Ice3, Bolt, Bolt2, and Bolt3.

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

				that is true but v was kinda meha
@Liar liar pants on fire.
Keep trying to make yourself seem special and above us mere mortals. I played the first one when i was 5 and i never said i was above anyone in general all im saying is it pisses me off how se isnt even trying to please there older fans they only give A DAMN ABOUT GETTING NEW PEOPLE WHO HAVENT EVEN PLAYED OTHER FINAL FANTASY and the only ppl im above is the people who havent played at least 1-8 ff



 
			
			
				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.



 
			
			
				Looking down on us English-speaking folk. Discrimination!
Based on your other comments, you didn't even play those games.and the only ppl im above is the people who havent played at least 1-8 ff[

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.
Also to you its not just the spell what annoys me is se has become a kissu p trying to drag in morons who need to play the other final fantasys it dosnt just have xiv for show final fantasy is a serises MEANING YOU NEED TO PLAY THEM ALL or else u dont belong in the newer ones period

				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.Also to you its not just the spell what annoys me is se has become a kissu p trying to drag in morons who need to play theo ther final fantasys it dosnt just have xiv for show final fantasy is a serises MEANING YOU NEED TO PLAY THEM ALL or else u dont belong in the newer ones period

 
			
			
				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 emHow about no?
