German and French don't have ra and ga... They have full words that have numerical meaning similar to the numbers used in the English version, which happen to ending those suffixes. e.g Extra, Mega. And Japanese do not follow the name conventions because they can't (European languages don't have the syllable restrictions). In fact, it's not even fire, fira, firaga in japanese (if you do the translation). It's fire, fira, figa. It is just convenient to use a fixed number of syllables. Furthermore, there is no need to confuse players by giving the indication that fira is similar to blizzara that is similar to thundara (they are all completely different so why use the naming convention?); so they just number them by the order learned for logical reasons. But you already read this so I don't know why you made a topic on it (which is in fact in the wrong forum and will soon be deleted).
