ra's and ga's

[DJZen]

FFX has Thundaja.

Where?

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

In FFI, FFIII, and FFIV, Cure 3 was Curada, and Cure 4 was Curaga. Later games did away with a fourth Cure spell but began referring to the third one as Curaga. The fourth spell then came back in FFT, but rather than revert to the old pattern, they invented the "ja" suffix. So:

FFI, FFIII, & FFIV: Cure, Cura, Curada, Curaga
FFV-FFX: Cure, Cura, Curaga
FFT: Cure, Cura, Curaga, Curaja

Where?

Dark Ixion uses it.

[Rengori]

I guess Crystal Chronicles doesn't count as an FF.

[DarkLadyNyara]

Words like "Fira" and "Curaja" sound a lot more magical than some dope yelling "Ice 3!"

Exactly. Now all we need is "Flareaga".

[Nick Schovitz]

Did some of you say that there are ja suffixes? whichh ffs had ja, suffixes I've only seen ga's and ra's?

[TheSpoonyBard]

Nick, that was discussed in posts #28 -#33.

[Nick Schovitz]

I think "-ga" is supposed to be "-aga".
Fire
Fi-ra
Fir-aga
Fir-aja
Thunder
Thund-ara
Thund-aga
Thund-aja
Blizzard
Blizza-ra
Blizz-aga
Blizz-aja
Cure
Cu-ra
Cur-aga
Cur-aja

no becayse in ten it's not wateraga, it's waterga!

[Aurons Apprentice]

tah may be true but things like fire are easyer to say if u say firaga and stuff but each to his own

[Little Blue]

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

I know this has been answered already, but X-2 also has "-ja" spells on the Mascot dressphere for Yuna (Moogle Cureja, Moogle Regenja, Moogle Lifeja and Moogle Wallja)

Thank you for, once again, making everything simple enough for me to understand. It all makes sense now. So I guess Full-Cure is just Full-Cure in Japan?

[Llednar Twem]

I still don't get it!

[Jhei]

I hope that there are four level spells in Final Fantasy XII with the -ja suffixes. Also, I hope to see higher levels of the following magic: Aero, Protect, Shell, Haste, Slow, and Reflect.

[Prancing Mad]

The real question on my mind is when will they use hoochimama as a suffix.

You mean Tornado, Protecra, Shellra, Hastaga, Slowra and Reflectra? They exist.

Exactly. Now all we need is "Flareaga".

Actually, a semi-equivalent almost exists in a roundabout way. In FFXI, aga spells actually have different effects. The strength of the spell is measured in roman numerals. So FireI, FireII and FireIII are different levels of the same spell, while Firaga is actually a different spell (Fire targets one, Firaga targets an area). Typing "/recast MeteorIII" in the game shows that a spell with the name of MeteorIII is actually in the code of the game, but there's no way to obtain it. I believe FlareIII and UltimaIII also exist.
