after reading a prievew this game made me go "whoa interesting"

[VeloZer0]

Fire3 to me seems far stronger than Firaga, and if I was going to yell something n battle I would way rather yell 'Ice3!' then 'Blizaga!'.

Thats about all there is to it... I don't think I can make in depth arguments for my preference on this one.

-ra and -aga suffixes are more true to the original.

Those didn't come along until the Playstation era.

Because of poor translations and/or space limitation. All the re-releases use -ra and -aga suffixes.

You don't actually know that they intended that, they could just currently like suffix better and hence redo everything with a suffix, and I don't exactly believe there was any reason VII had to use numbers instead of suffixes if they liked suffixes better. Last remake I played (Dawn of Souls) I don't recall suffixes, though I could be mistaken. Basically they used numbers, and then along the way decided suffixes were cooler, and some people still like the numbers better.

On a lighter note, in thinking of this I imagined FFII using suffixes.

But it was because of translation and space issues. The Japanese version of FFVI had the suffixes.
