    As much as I want to see the -ra, -ga, ja spells return, I do understand why Yoshi-P would pick for a I,II,III etc. New players are fresh blood that every mmorpg need, if we dont get fresh blood, then the game is doomed. That is why all the mmorpg's focus on making the game easy to understand for new players. So I understand why Yoshida did what he had to do.

    Can you explain to us why a new player would understand the difference between Fire I and Fire II immediately just by looking at the suffix? They are spells for two different situations. I doubt that the classical suffixes would be more difficult. In fact, a suffix that for example would indicate an AoE spell would work better for new players. Cure II for example isn't exactly AoE.. In the end you actually need to read the tooltip to see what the ability does.

    Can you also explain why they in the JP version (and German version too?) use the original suffixes? Do you think SE thinks the English speaking group is some type of brain damaged one? I doubt it. I don't know how you think about this, but the "new player" argument is invalid when half does get classical suffixes and the other half doesn't. A bit contradicting isn't it?

    Maybe you should read that long quote in post #36, all your questions are answered there.
