Numbered translation type (ie: Fire 2)
The original (ie: Cura)
Which is better?
Inspired by the drifting conversation in the 'No Espers' thread, I figured I'd make a poll, because I am cool.
So, which is better? The old days, when spells were named 'Cure 1, Fire 2, Ice 3,' etc in translation, or the original names like 'Cura, Curaga' etc?
Yes you are cool! Anyway I like the Cura and Curaga the numbers just sounds lame.

Numbers. They're so much easier to read and understand. I don't like trying to decipher another language.

And I prefer the originals, too. It sounds more 'mystic', more like something a spellcaster would say before letting loose a bit of magic.
"come forth me fire 2!"
"come forth me fira!"
Yep,the original sounds better alright

It is empty but it would really help out if you would join and help me get more members
I don't particularly mind really, as long as it's obvious in which order increasing strength is (usually from the MP cost)
The originals is what I like. The numbers are kinda blah.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
Damn, clicked on the wrong choice... Anyway, yeah, the numbers aren't that great, but I'll take 'em over something like "Firaga" any day of the week. As for saying that it's better "simply because it's the original," that's pretty dumb. If we had a litteral translation of Six, Terra would have been named "Tina." *shudders at the thought*
I like the numbers... I hate Firaga, Blizzara and that other stuff.
I've seen the future, brother. It is murder.
You guys want everything the way the Japanese have it? Please... that's why we have translators, so that we can understand things better.
If I met a person who said firaga to me, I'd have to kick their a**. :laugh: j/k
This reminds me of Warcraft 3 on bnet where people use the word "gosu" which is Korean for "great". "Join our gosu clan!" Man I hate that ish. Can't we all just be normal? What, is the english language not good enough for you? You have to come up with new words? Give me a break.

It's just a matter of preference. And yes, I'd rather have my games translated into English as close to the original Japanese as possible... and I would have rather had FFX in Japanese with subtitles, rather than the somewhat lackluster preformance the English VA's did.
And yes, this means I hate English. It's a terrible language and I'm really a secret Japanese spy sent to kill or convert you all. [/sarcasm]
Numbers are lame. Cura sounds better than Cure 2.
