Yeah I know, but in some games(FFVIII) you're able to learn both magics regardless of job....so it can be done. And besides I was just stating that Holy Thundaga would be the most killer magic ever:choc2: .

Holy's a black spell in VI. :choc2:

I thought they didn't discriminate magic in FFVI.

I'm quite sure Holy is called Pearl in FFVI...

THE JACKEL

Holy isn't considered "black magic" because there is no such thing as black or white magic. The symbols denote the type of spell it is, and Holy (or Pearl from the SNES cartridge release) is a damaging spell as opposed to a healing or a status spell. Thus, it has the damage spell symbol next to it.

I personally prefer the -ra -aga and -aja suffixes to the numbers. Also, I prefer "Lit" or "Lightning" to "Thunder", as thunder is just the sound and shouldn't be doing lightning damage. It should be doing sonic damage, if anything.

Oh and finally, the -ra -aga and -aja works a lot better in Japanese under the character system than it does in English. One of the earlier problems translators would run into, the way the characters are spaced means that they have to truncate the game's dialogue in order to get it to fit in the amount of text boxes available. You can say a lot more in a lot less space using Japanese characters than you can using English letters.

It is my understanding that Curaja only exists in the american versions, and that in Japan the progression goes Cure, Cura, Curada, Curaga.

That's cause Curada sounds retarded.

If it's like that, then Curaja is more effective than Curada?

What?

i know aga and ara or ira but I don't ever remember aja

Does the -ja suffixes only exist in FF XI or in older FFs as well?

Curaja is Cure 4, and not many games have had it. I think it's only been in IV, but I could be wrong.

FFVIII has Gravija.
FFX has Gravija and Thundaja.

All the above are used by bosses.

It is also in Final Fantasy I.

Anyway, I prefer -ra, aga, and aja, for the simple reason that they plain sound cooler than "Ice 2", "Fire 3", etc.
