Character Limit for Towns

[lars708]

Honestly I'm feeling like they will increase the limit to like 20. What's the point if they only increase it to 12? This is a modern console release essentially and stingy 8 character limits are something of the past. Even when New Leaf came out it was very weird to have that limit but I never gave it any thought because I was a kid and didn't care.

My town or island will be named Kjell so I'll be fine either way but I still think that they should give people more freedom regardless.

i think they will change the limit, i understand that 8 might work well in japanese but in english we need more characters for the names ): and i think they know that.

Here's the thing lol

The Japanese release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf actually has a 6 character limit. This means that Japanese playes cannot search for towns by name through the Dream Suite if the town name is longer than 6 characters.

For the English release they actually increased the limit to be 8 characters instead of 6. It's not much but geez 6 characters would have been a disaster.

As long as it's more than 8 it's okay. My town names usually fit in that limit of 8 because I never needed more characters in it, but for those who do, I hope they let us make longer town names.

I feel like Nintendo will keep the character limit as 8, but I could be wrong! If they do increase it, I suspect they may up the limit to 12, or maybe more. I'll be very happy if they increase it, as only 8 characters is very restricting, but we will have to see!

Yeah. 15 might be too much, but even 12 will be satisfactory in my opinion.

tbh, it should be at least 16 imo. with the way japanese kana works vs roman alphabet

ok, then 12 character limit. I can work with that

(but really, let's increase the jp limit too tbh)

The name i have planned is 7 characters because I?m not hopeful that they will raise the limit.
