    I like how they made all the spells have a purpose from 1 - 50 and still be used. Only issue is that the naming is a bit confusing... Fire 1 is single target, Fire 2 is less damage than Fire 1 and AOE, and Fire 3 is single target but doesn't replace the use of Fire 1 due to cast time and mp even though it does more damage. Think they could have worked out some better names.
    I'd have expected, given past naming schemes, Fire II would actually be Firega, and IDK, Fire III could have just been called anything else with a fiery context. Same with cures, there should be a Curega.

    Should be Fire, Fira, Firaga or Blizzard, Blizzara Blizzaga etc.
    That's the standard FF naming scheme.

    Actually in FFXI, there were both. Fire, Fire 2, Fire 3, and Fire 4 were progressively stronger single-target spells. Firaga, Firaga 2, Firaga 3 were progressively stronger AOE spells.
