How to expand name length to 8 chars?

Which names? Characters? I don't think there's enough space in RAM for that without completely changing the way they're stored.

From characters.

Yeah, you're on your own for that. It'd be way more effort than it's worth IMO.

Sorry but I have to agree with Dragonsbrethren here... I mean, even if you made room for storing the eight-letter names, just think about all the rearrangement of displays that would have to be done. Not only in the menus and in battle and such, but also you'd find all the dialogue where characters with long names are mentioned would start going over the edge of the text box. Sounds like quite the undertaking.

I imagine you'd also have to rewrite the Namingway routine...
