When I played FFviI for the 1st time I wondered why the black magic spells like fire, fira, and firaga, were converted to simple, fire1, fire2, and fire3. I've also discovered this in IV. Tell me when did the change to ra's and ga's come into ff? Do you prefer it with the simple 1,2, and 3, or do you like the ra's and ga's?

Me I like the ra's and ga's it shows evolution? now when did ice1, 2 and 3 die, VIII?
