As it says on the box. I kind of wanted to increase the possible name length so when I do silly runs or co-op stuff I can make more lengthly and goofy names.
#[Nevermind, can't be done.] Is there a way to raise the number of characters allowed in your name?

no

Oh...

Every structure in this game has a fixed space of 32 bytes (or 16 2-byte characters) memory reserved for the name and it aint changing without some pretty involving exe patches
Its doable with a DLL but it'll take ages, probably tens of thousands patches to make to supplement for this change

Oh, fair. Makes sense then. Probably explains why there was that DSII thing with character names on a certain console breaking aspects of the actual save itself.
I can't remember the specifics.
visual hawk
Yeah it just starts writing your name's bytes over the gender enum, face data and a bunch of other shit
west chasm
Yeah!

Might as well update that.
visual hawk
One thing someone could do that is ever so slightly less involving (by just a tiny bit!!) is making the characters be parsed as ascii instead of the 2-byte thing but that would still be a giant pain, break every update and it will give you a max of 28 characters
west chasm
Ah.
