    Commendations.
    If I play dps I only give it out to other dps.
    If I play tank I only give it out to healers.
    If I play healer I only give it out to tank.

    Only if they should be getting a commendation.
    There are always exceptions to the rules!

    It's rather annoying when you're at a vendor looking at the list of what's being sold and you have to move your eyes to a different part of the screen for each item to know what it is before you move to the next item to repeat the process.

    Truncating isn't the only option, though. Reversing the name works. Instead of seeing Chocobo Training Manual - Choco E..., we could be looking at Choco Esuna - Chocobo Training Ma... That's going to give us the important information for each manual as we skim the menu instead of needing to keep moving our eyes around.

    They could always just do:

    Chocobo Training Manual - Esuna

    Or

    Chocobo Training - Esuna

    The second one is probably better, since it literally is all you need to read to be able to tell what it is for, and what it gives.

    See, I rarely buy anything from vendors so I wasn't aware of the issue. And if I wasn't aware of the issue, it might be that Square Enix would not have figured out the reason either.

    Maybe next time you will be more detailed in the original post to avoid the possibility of the target of the thread missing the point of the thread.

    This is an issue we should take up with the localization team. They're more likely to see it if you use the Localization forum.

    This is something I wish for for a lot of items. A lot of times it makes no sense either.

    Eg. The Japanese materia naming system is confusing (materia, materiga, za, whatever) but their treasure maps are simply Grade 3, 4, 5 etc.

    English materia is numbered, but maps are a random assortment of animals...


    At the very least, they need to put stuff like “G4” in the descriptions...
