Abilities you hope get renamed in 5.0

[Burningskull]

Armor Crush: Armor Crush was a War ability in older FF games to lower a enemies Defense. I wish the name was something Ninjay since it doesn't lower defense but keeps your haste going.

Leg Sweep: You gave Leg Sweep for the DPS the Low Blow animation but didn't change the name. Either it needs a leg sweeping animation or needs to be called Low Blow.

I would like to see name changes on all those Black Mage spells: I, II and III to their correct form used in all others FF games: Fire > Fira > Firaga, please?

Oh. I forgot about those. I posted in another tread that I would like the AoE spells of BLM renamed to the -ara, -aga and -aja versions with the single target spells being I, II and III.

I would like this only if they make it uniform, meaning it applies to all families of spells, like aero and bio and quake, etc. If it cannot be done, maybe because of awkward naming, then might as well keep the Roman numerals.

Except I, II, III and so on level spells have been a part of the FF series since the beginning, in so far as the English localization anyway. Not necessarily opposed to them changing the names, but in the name of "correctness" I'd find it rather silly.

Only in the English releases because they couldn't fit the full names of spells in a 4-character space. The original Final Fantasy's Japanese release uses the -ra -ga -ja naming convention.

Personally I preferred FFXI's style which kept the numbered tiers for spells and used suffixes to denote area of effect.

-ra would be a point-blank aoe
-ga would be an aoe around your target
-ja would be a bigger aoe around your target

I will say that for new BLMs, having Fire II and Blizzard II as the AoEs when Fire III and Blizzard III are then not, is not great. Just from an intuitiveness perspective, that's not ideal.

All I want is Rescue to be renamed 'GET OVER HERE'. Because every time I use it I imagine I'm Scorpion yoinking people to my side, and the yellow color of the button doesn't help.

Armor Crush renamed to Aeolian Edge
Shadow Fang renamed to Armor Crush
Aeolian Edge renamed to Shadow Fang

What and why?
Armor Crush is literally an animation of two-fistedly shoving a knife as if through some armored target's armpit.
Aeolian Edge has a whirlwind animation. Aeolian <-> Wind.
Shadow Fang has a shadowy animation and, as per so many other shadow-themed skills across RPGs, inflicts vulnerability and deals further damage over time.

Just rename Armor Crush to Wind Spike or whatever to befit its Huton effect and they're solid.
