The small things

[Aidorouge]

If I have to hazard a wild, uneducated guess, the 60 letter limitation is probably tied to the same ‘code’ (or whatchamacallit) they use in JP client. Sixty words is plenty enough room for Japanese. But they probably never thought it’s on the restrictive side for English, hence they just slap it over without consideration.

It's funny how character limits were also a thing that often forced shorter names back in the SNES days of Squaresoft RPGs coming to the US/EU, and they still get tripped up by it today, lol.
