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

[The Damned]

^ I'm guessing you're not a fan of jack-in-the-boxes or Jamaica or Japan or the German language then. (Accursed page split.)

Also, pray to never meet up with Ja Rule. Rappers tend to...be homophobic.

(But, yeah, -ja suffix does sound stupid...as in stupid, not gay.)

[Shade]

Firaja is my favorite spell name.

[kinneas123]

Yes, gay as in Voldemort's "OMG that's fuckin gay" not as in I am homophobic or dislike gay people.

[Disco_Peach]

Numbers make me feel dumber. FFT: "This spell is Fire3. That makes it stronger than Fire2." Me: "Ooooooooohhhhhhh...! Whodda thunk it! Gee! I feel smarter already! " So yes, I voted for the as and the kas and the jas. Jah, mon! I be keepin' real, ja hear?

[AuraDragon]

One thing I don't like is that when casting a spell people say shit like "Destroyer of mother nature, come forth! Fire4!!" I mean, put a space between Fire and 4, at the very least, sounds better as "Destroyer of mother nature, come forth! Fireja!!".

Or you could just do what BoF series does and give them their own unique name, unlike Cure, Cure 2, Cure 3, Cure 3 you could have Recover, Replenish, Rejuvenate, Revitalize.  Or better yet: Hwa, Ja, Hwaja, Uber Hwaja.  I mean don't limit yourself to adding 2's and ja's to names, mix things up.   Bolt, Valhalla, Bolt II, Indignation! Yippy!

[Zozma]

i really like the bof idea, for example in bof 3 there was...

Burn, Flare, Inferno, Simoon etc..

[AuraDragon]

FIRE : Fire, Blaze, Inferno, Fire Storm!
ICE : Icicle, Frost, Blizzard, Glacier!
LIGHTNING : Zap, Bolt, Lightning, Storm!
CURE : Recover, Replenish, Rejuvenate, Revitalize!

I think we hit the jack-pot!

[DarthPaul]

Maybe do a persona thing.

Fire tree equals - Agi, Agido, Agilao, Agidyne

Ice tree - Bufu, Bufudo, Bufugo, Bufudyne

etc.

[gravenshard]

welcome back 2 vagrant story!

[AuraDragon]

Who the hell are you?  I've never played Persona.

[DarthPaul]

[Disco_Peach]

I still like the Firaja.

Firaja!
What?
Firaja!
Huh?
Firaja! You know, Fire4...
Oooooh! You mean FIRE.
Ya! That's what I said! Firaja!

Sorry for the terrible Goldmember vs Dr. Evil bit there. I just couldn't help myself. Tight like a tigaja!

[DarthPaul]

I know Persona 4 came out I just haven't gotten it yet.  I imply no offense so you don't take it as one cause I know it can be misconstrued.

[Archael]

Me? I'm just a lurker.

mmm I love goth lurker girls


A/S/L??????

please

[Vanya]

FF1 used -a / -ga / -da as the naming standard despite recent translations. Some were wierd and added prefixes instead.
For example:
(These are exact translations)
Raise & Araise
Dia, Adia, Gadia, & Dadia.
Fire, Fia, & Figa.

[DarthPaul]

Wow he's thirteen thirtyseven thats leet. Lol.

[Raven]

You could just take a, ga, ra, ja and combine them into one word and make that a separate spell and it would sound better
FEAR ARAGAJA!

[Zuka]

If I'm not mistaken one of the other FF games had a 4th tier but i don't know which one..... by the way suffixes ftw.

It was FFXI The MMO, it actually has like 9 tiers, but they oly go through four tiers of names for each type of spell, and they use the numbers as well as the suffixes to name them since there are so freakin many spells

[DarthPaul]

Thanks for that one Zuka. And Aragaja that could be the new flare. lulz
