Dear Devs fix the spells names!

Yes! I too demand that spells be reverted to what spells in the Final Fantasy universe originally were!

Fire should be FIRE but every level higher should be like: FIR2, FIR3
Lightning should be LIT, So LIT, LIT2
Blizzard should be ICE.
Cure should go CURE, CUR2, CUR3.

Funny how you seem to hate this game enough to never ever post anything even close to positive about it, yet you still play.

I do hate myself as much as I hate this game, yes.

Here's hoping for a NES styled UI mod.

I find warrior hard to understand. Please rename skills to Axe I, Axe II, Axe III, and Chopga.

10/10 I approve, this would greatly ease the difficulty of warrior.

Don't worry. They already renamed Defender to Defiance and War Cry to Infuriate. We English speakers won't understand that an ability can give you the Infuriated status unless it's called Infuriate.

I think the loc team overreaches on a lot of stuff. Did Invincible really need to be renamed to Hallowed Ground? Why did Circle of Doom get changed to Circle of Scorn? Stuff like this leads to more Acheron-style problems down the line.

Can we also rewrite the game's script to be shorthand?

Like I said a few pages back. Do what FFXI did. Single target Fire, Fire II, Fire III. AoE Firaga, Firaga II, Firaga III etc. This way there is no confusion between jobs. BLM II means AoE except for Thunder II. WHM II is ST and III is AoE. By combining the two conventions you get greater clarity

An AoE is a different type of spell from a ST so a different name altogether actually makes sense. At least to me.

This is an issue that cannot be addressed by the localization team. The problem here, is that people are complaining about several different "issues" rather than finding a consensus on what they would like to see addressed.

Every language has labeled the spells simply based on the order they are learned.

Some people are complaining that they want different labeling because they think it looks "cool."

Some people are complaining that they want different labeling that's more intuitive (i.e. different suffixes based on the type of spell effect).

Some people are complaining that the localization team just does a horrible job on the game as a whole.

So to the original poster, could you clearly articulate which of these groups you're spearheading with this thread?

Totally nailed it. Unless everyone can agree on what they want to see or what should be implemented, all the devs will see is white noise.

Snip

However, wasn't the whole point of this thread to remove the roman numerals in the names?

I have to agree with you as well.
