First of all, if this topic is in the wrong place, I apologise. It can be moved at any time by a Mod or Admin.

I'm having some trouble finding out the bytes being used for the characters in Chrono Trigger Text Editor. So far, I have only been able to find out that Crono is {1A}. If any one knows the rest, can you please post them? It's a little strange to see the default names for the characters being displayed when the names have been changed. I appreciated the help.

If you're curious as to why the U.S. version doesn't give Crono a nickname, it's because the nickname was the first two characters of Crono's name. In Japanese, you can truncate a name this way and still be reasonably assured of producing something pronounceable, especially with an honorific attached ("Kuro-kun", "Rucchan", "Maru-chan", "Kae-san", "Ei-san", etc.), but not so in English: you'd need a fairly (but not terribly) sophisticated system to be sure of producing a sensible nickname by truncation, and my guess is that they decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

$1E is actually the code that prints the first 3 characters of Marl's name. The Japanese version uses it to make up the Mardia name.

Lucca realized it pretty quick. Chrono's brilliance was never a selling point. He's the genius who named the robot Robo and the giant frog Frog after all.
