Yes, in Final Fantasy 6, all items take up 30 bytes although I preface that by saying that many do no actually use the whole 30 depending on the type, and what the different fields within that 30 can mean different things based on the type (e.g. the same byte may be battle power on a weapon and defense power on an armor). Personally, I find 30 bytes too restrictive but of course if you're familiar with the game, they did a lot with those 30 bytes.
EDIT: rather than speak in hypotheticals, let me just post the data format:

EDIT: Sorry, didn't notice that Glenn already said pretty much the same thing. I can only redeem myself by saying that I can get you info on what all these things mean, as well as any other data format, if it helps to illustrate how the game operates.
