I know some of the spells don't change like fire, ice, earth, and others. I do miss the spells like Xzone, Pearl, and Pain. In FFX I don't believe there is even a spell that I would consider my favorite nor do I find any of the spells in FFX to be as interesting as some of the past FF games. Why don't they come up with more creative spells like Xzone or Pearl in FFX? I miss the spell pain in FF8 because when you had 100 pain equipped to squalls weapon every time he hit an enemy it caused blindness and like two other strong side effects. I feel that FF games have declined in the creativeness in spells over the years.
I don't really have much to sa on this topic, but I do know that Pearl = Holy. I think it was just translated differently during the era when they were trying to not refer to religion in any way. As for Pain and X-Zone, I'm not positive. But I do remember loving to cast X-Zone.
It didn't bother me cuz I thought there were too many instant death moves in the originals. Kill, X Zone, Death, Doom, some other move that made a fissure, etc. There was Triple Foul in FF X which was essentially the same as Pain. Also, like Gorman said, Pearl is the exact same thing as Holy.
I think it is quite pleasant, as long as some spells look quite the same as the predecesor. I would wish to see a Final Fantasy that includes all the spell until now and most of all every GF that was seen in FF until now. I think that would be the BOMB. :D

That is a good point. Too many of those makes the game less fun, whether you are dishing it out, or on the receiving end.
the whole spell thing doesnt bother me because i dont use much magic anyways but i would like to see all the summons up to date in a FF games that would be great bout 30+ summons great variety
Spells like death and doom are pretty much the same thing. I'm just saying that I would like to see more creative spells like Xzone that have cool special effects after you cast them.
I personnaly think Final Fantasy is all about the formula they use. They stick to what works and they have us comming back each time and wanting more. If they are sticking with firaga, blizzard, and all those spells, not to mention all other aspects of the game that they keep from previous installments, it's typically because we enjoyed them. Regardless, even though for the main part this may seem repetitive, there is always enough new content and spells to keep us happy. I have nothing to complain about in this respect.
I don't know,but didn't anyone think that the spells' effects in FF1&2 were cool?? anyways, I like the spells the way they are...one complaint that's not reasonible!! make dummy spells useful,like death and doom cus they don't work on everyone^_^
