There's other examples in the series of spells going straight from the first stage naming convention to the third stage (Haste > Hastega, Slow > Slowga) so it's not that much of a stretch. As far as I'm aware, Glare is an original creation as a playable spell, so they can do what they like with it. Skipping Holyra when it already exists is more of a question, I suppose. Maybe it's just so WHM doesn't feel like it's as behind compared to SCH and AST (who are getting Broil IV and Fall Malefic) in some kind of Xbox 360 style slant? I don't know. Maybe they just think Glare III and Holy III fit the spells themselves better than II would.

On an unrelated note, I wonder what kind of viewing figures Endwalker will be getting on Twitch and Youtube tomorrow? A lot of the recent surge of interest comes from existing players watching streamers pick up the game, and I can't imagine they'd rather watch tomorrow than play themselves. I guess concurrent Steam numbers will probably be the best indication we'll get of that if viewing figures fall short of equivalent big releases.
