Well this is what people wanted. We used to have the ability to turn AoE on and off but people complained that it was too much for them to worry about and that it was handled poorly. I think a single button press to toggle it was fine, apparently though they saw fit to remove it. This is what people wanted.

I'm not sure we need tier spells back, especially considering we do have tier spells (thunder, fire, blizzard, cure). They're just not numbered. A visual change over the course of leveling is fine but to that end, how impressive would a max level Firaga need to be to accommodate that?
