Title: Text limitations
Post by: Sajin on 21, November, 2009, 04:21:56 PM
So, I'm kind of wandering if anyone knows how many letters fit in for naming weapons/psynergies/classes/item descriptions.
I tought they would be 12 for naming weapons and classes but "Kikuichimonji" and "Water of life" have 13 letters...But for classes, the longest that exists is "Flame Master" which is 12 characters long.
So anyone got any info on this?

The names are loaded into temporary memory only long enough to generate the tiles necessary to display them.  You could probably get away with as much as will fit in the space given.

So, perhaps it's somewhat limited to maybe 14 or 16 letters long (items/psynergies/class names)? Either way, thanks for the info.

Names have a limit of 5-6 characters.  Psynergies, classes, and items have a 14 character limit, I believe.
