The 'a'/'ra'/'ga'/'ja' poll, concerning new patches.

[Zuka]

You know, considering that FFXII has a Super Fire Spell named Ardor, mebe an Ardora, Ardorga, Ardorja, and Ardoragaja, would be good names lol

[Dormin Jake]

Idea for a spell:

All-Ultimaragaja 4

Y   = 255
MP = ∞
CT = lol

[DarthPaul]

Idea for a farce:

Ex-wife and pompous ass burned alive.

[Archael]

hey guiz for 1.3 PSP Dominic was wondering what would be best for Zombie 2?

Zombira??

[Dormin Jake]

Reminds me of Vampirella.

What about Zombify?  That's actually a real word.

[philsov]

Zombiga sounds better.  Yes, it's only rank 2 but it's also the final rank.

[dwib]

Zombaga

[samuchan]

Zombaja

[Zozma]

if it has a cool effect file you could call it "overcast" like they did on ff6

[Archael]

Overcast = Zombie in FF6?

:O

[Zozma]

well it was more like a target all dead units, and brought them all back as zombies, but zombies in ff6 are more similar to "blood suck" units in fft.....

which..... is a very very interesting idea..........

[Llednar]

How about

Zombzilla!!!!!!
The terrifying undead creature that eats tokyo for no apparent reason
*Jaws music plays for no real reason*

[Dominic NY18]

I was going to call it Curse, but I think I'm going to go with Zombija. It fits in with the other level 2 spells in the set, which have -ja as their suffix.

[Archael]

sounds good

[Kaijyuu]

I think that both numbers at the end and the japanese-ish suffixes are silly, with the suffixes slightly worse because they're nonsensical without prior knowledge.

I'd stick with the original numbers for clarity and ease. But if someone wanted to "improve" the names I'd say they should trash both and come up with synonyms for each rank. Example:
Ice = Frost
Ice 2 = Ice
Ice 3 = Blizzard
Ice 4 = Deep Freeze
Ice 5 = Absolute 0.

You'd have clarity with implied strengths within the names. You wouldn't have the ridiculous sounding numbers, or the nonsensical suffixes.

But that's just my opinion.

[SilvasRuin]

The DragonQuest spell names make more sense for their tier progression (most of them are increasing onomatopoeia), but they have their own brand of silly.  I'm not sure anyone would prefer it, but it is a potential compromise.  (Not my first choice either.)

[LastingDawn]

I liked the "ra, ga, ja" practice, it made it actually feel sort of... magical, unlike the others which were just plain words.

[Zozma]

me too LD, i used to be annoyed by it. but when i look at it from a different view.

think of Beatrix for example who in ff9 only has Cura

it seems odd to have Cure 2 but not the one that comes before it in the set.. but change it to Cura and it could stand alone more.. plus it just looks cleaner then tacking on a number at the end..
