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?
