i all ready finnished dawn of souls now to final fantasy 2
Wait. Can't Red Wizards learn Saber?
How the hell is ending a word with "a" going to make it sound more sensible?
Curaga, Fira? Thundara? They sound like contrived names for magic users, not spells. Since when is Curaga more sensible than Cure 4?
Kill vs. the more Stylish XXXX?
Death still "erases"? Really? I woulda thought it Kills.
And how about Dia vs. Harm. I'm sure Dia makes a lot more sense, now that the translation is fixed. &^$^$^*%$*&
Why is Scourge better than Bane? No reason.
Why is Haste better than Fast? I have no frikkin clue.
Flare does not have the same destructive connotation of Nuke.
Spell translations in the new translation are not only worse, but they're stupid.
@ Um...
The ara, aga system for spell levels was always in the very first Final Fantasy in the Japanese version of the game and obviously couldn't be carried over given the character limit on most things. It wasn't until Final Fantasy VIII that all non-Japanese versions would follow suit on that naming convention: prior games referred to simple numbers.
Scourge bothers me anyway, because I think of the FF2 spell instead X^D I believe it was always called 'Flare' in the Japanese versions, although Nuke is still really awesome.
I also like to add that with Temper working correctly after the NES version, it's a viable attack buff you can put on your warriors, and is especially awesome with a Fast included.
so...
Um... = PWNT???
...Name changes...I went looking for NUKE and the Magic Shops didn't have it.
The use of magic in this version can be overused with the MP system with the Level system for the NES you need level up your character more before you can use more of that level of magic but with MP as soon as you can use that level you can use it as much as your MP can handle.
I'm going to have to mirror Um...'s reflection that the a/aga system is dumb, even if it is more correct.
Yeah I understand what you mean X^D But I'm kinda used to it by now so...ah well.
