[dev1206] Upper tiers of an action (such as Fire II and Fire III) will be abolished.

FFVIII didn't use a I, II, III, IV system. They had Fire, Fira, Firaga.

On that note, I don't think we should complain about this until we see how Black Mage works. They could be the ones getting Fira/ga/ja, Thundara/ga/ja, Watera/ga/ja, etc.

Same with WHM getting Cura and Curaja.


Let's see how the new caster classes are going to operate before condemning the system.



EDIT: Plus we could see WHM getting a spell like Esuna to clear up status ailments instead of having a bunch of individual skills.

I'm late to the thread, but felt like commenting.
The 'Ra Ga Ja' additions were something since the start of FFs, but in translation it made no sense, and along limitations on spell names, they went with small words (bolt, fire, ice) with a number at the end.
Later they decided on a system to mimic the ra ga ja system set in place for the JP versions. which we now see as it is.
