Influences in other titles[]
Both Watera (ウォータラ, Wōtara?) and Aquara (アクアラー, Akuarā?) appear as Black Magics in RPGs created by the Mistwalker company founded by Hironobu Sakaguchi, appearing in the titles Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey respectively. The abilities deal water-elemental damage to targets in both titles. In order to differentiate the spell names from their Final Fantasy counterparts in Japanese, each name includes an extra chōonpu character in some fashion.
