General XML Information

Object ID Abbreviation Meanings

AID

Stands for Asset ID. Someone else could probably better describe AID in a short form than I could. Entries are located within Item.xml and AssetTable.xml.

CID

Stands for Chapter ID. The six variations are CID_M (Main story), CID_S (Paralogues), CID_G (Divine Paralogues), CID_E (Fell Xenologue), CID_N (???), CID_V (Tempest Trial), CID_C (???). _N and _C are probably more Tower of Trials bullshit that nobody ever uses.

PID

Stands for Person ID. Every unit in the game has a unique PID associated with them. Entries are found in Person.xml.

JID

Stands for Job ID. Every class in the game has a unique JID associated with it. Entries are found in Job.xml.

GID

Stands for God ID. Every Emblem in the game has a unique GID associated with them. Entries are found in God.xml.

EID

Stands for Emblem ID. Appears to only be used in AssetTable.xml to determine what outfit an Emblem gives when engaged with them.

IID

Stands for Item ID. Every item in the game has a unique IID associated with it. Entries are found in Item.xml.

SID

Stands for Skill ID. Every skill in the game has a unique SID associated with it. Entries are found in Item.xml.

FID

Stands for Food ID. Every food item in the game has a unique FID associated with it. Entries are found in Cook.xml.

M[x]ID

The message ID for a specific object. This is used to call the correct name for the object dependant on the game's language. (ex MIID_IronSword will show up as "Iron Sword" in English and "てつの剣" in Japanese.)

M[x]ID_H

The message ID for an object's help text when you hover over it. This is used to call the correct description for the object dependant on the game's language. (ex MIID_H_IronSword will show up as "A standard sword made of iron─simple, but effective." in English and "標準的な剣" in Japanese.)

Most system-related messages are simply stored as MID.
