This Data's Role
System data is a collection of initial settings and more for the game. You can specify things such as the formation and positions of party members at the start of the game, the music that plays in various situations during gameplay, and more.
Parameter Details

The name of your game. The name you enter into the [Game Title] field when creating a new project will be configured here. This name will be displayed in the Game Screen title and the window's title bar.
Starting Party

There is no limit to how many actors you can place into a party. However, only the first 4 can participate in battle.
To change or add actors, double-click the list item (or a blank row when adding) and specify the actor. To remove actors, right-click the one you wish to remove and select [Delete] in the menu that appears.
Currency
The name for the unit of money used in the game. This is used for things such as displaying how much gold the player has in the Menu Screen.

Starting Positions
