The problem with this that I have was that in FFXI this terminology was used a little differently.
-aga spells were a set of AoE versions of other spells, but they were all numbered in sequence. For example, Cure, Cure II, Cure III; Curaga I, Curaga II, Curaga III.
-ra spells are a little different. Cura is obtained much later than Curaga and seems to just be a tweaked version of it and Fira (and other normally BLM -ra spells) is a Geomancer spell, so it came long after I quit. They're both still AoEs but they break the order of -ra, -ga, -ja, so that's weird.
Considering FFXI and FFXIV are both "the MMOs" and FFXIV borrows a lot of its aesthetic and design from FFXI, if anything I'd rather do it this way, but there aren't really perfect analogues for every spell so it wouldn't be neat at all.
