    Weeeeeeeeell, this is one of those slippery slopes. While I agree that upon first use, I thought they were backwards as well, you'll find that every other similar UI control in this game.

    Selling an item? Pushing all the way to the left maxes the number out, pushing to the right minimizes it.
    Putting an item up for sale? Pushing all the way to the left maxes the number out, pushing to the right minimizes it.

    Unsurprisingly, the control does the same thing.

    This is not putting up something for sale, and the lowest number is 01 and the highest 50. There are only two digits, entered in two text edit controls, with the left being the lower end and the right being higher end.

    ya its similar to most rpg's with this kinda format because you aren't going up in numbers you are moving across the dial to the position that you want. 1000's/100's/10's/1's etc.

    Oh aye, I'm not saying you're wrong; I even said that I felt it was backwards when I used it as well. I'm just saying that if they change it, there's probably a subset of people who would feel that changing it would make it feel backwards to them, so there's no real winning situation here.

    It's kind of interesting that :-

    Japaneses read books from back to front.
    In many video games they normally have their camera controls in reverse.
    They use O as the action button and X to cancel and westerners are use to the reverse.
    They have their date structured YYYY/MM/DD

    Some Japanese text you still read right to left as well

    Another thing when they made Play Station in Japan the O button was for OK and X was for cancel, but for some odd reason when Play Station was released in the US the O button was the cancel and X was for OK... which still doesn't make sense to me lol.

    Anyways back to the OP's info most Japanese games you hit left and it will give the maximum number and farthest right to get to minimum (0) so for this same feature it's working as intended imo.

    In Japan, O stands for "correct" and X (or a tick) for "incorrect" when grading a test etc, while in western countries, X is usually used to mark something (checkboxes, etc), so my guess is they changed it for that reason.
