Also borrowed from ''Final Fantasy'' is the naming convention of basic magic. In most installments of ''Final Fantasy'', the higher tiers of magic are denoted by the suffixes ''-ra'' and ''-ga'', normally corresponding to the second and third tier of a spell, respectively. This convention is followed in ''Kingdom Hearts'', with one notable exception: While the fourth tier of magic in ''Final Fantasy'', when included, is ''-ja'', ''Kingdom Hearts'' uses the suffix ''-gun'', localized as ''-za'' in the English release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' and as ''-ja'' in the English release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-]]''. Some [[Accessory|accessories]] are named after the fourth tier of magic, using the suffix ''-gun'' (e.g., [[Firagun Bangle]]), as are two [[Reaction Command]]s, [[Firagun]] and [[Blizzagun]]. | Also borrowed from ''Final Fantasy'' is the naming convention of basic magic.
