This thread is basically
"Oh hey can you throw this into a L80 spell?"
Next expansion happens.
"Oh can you invent Ultima 2? I know it's never happened in FF, but..."
Next expansion happens.
"Oh hey do we get Ultima 3 now that we're on this slippery slope?"

No. No no no.

Comet makes sense.
Meteo makes sense.
Merton makes sense.
Meltdown makes sense.
Foul makes sense.

Ultima does not make sense and we should not offer some cheap dumbed-down spell, no matter what Shard we're on, after how badly the game emphasized its power in ARR from Ascians who travel across all the Shards.

Final Fantasy released Ultima in FF2 in 1988. The spell is over 30 years old.

Do not give in to people who just want a name to feel better than their actual DPS.
Well hang on a second. SMN has Bahamut which is the pinnacle of summoned monsters. And it's also considered Black Magic. There isn't any reason outside of personal opinion that it's can't be added to BLM or RDM in the future.
