Best Flower Ever.

When speaking to Sasapano in the Golden Bazaar to initiate the quest "Best Flower Ever."

"Sasapano: I suppose an important adventurer such as yourself must be too busy saving damsels in distress to lend an ear to a nobody like me, but I'm going to speak my peace anyway."

In the context of the sentence I believe it should read "piece."

Not a huge deal, but thought I'd mention it.

I disagree. Speaking ones peace involves reconciling the internal conflict within one's self about whether or not something is right - and given the prior content of the script, it is clear Sasapano has been debating with himself whether or not to employ an adventurer in this task for some time.

It's a figure of speech, where as "speaking one's piece" is not. The original text should stand.

It should be "piece".

It’s “say [or speak] your piece,” not “peace.” When the expression first appeared in the early 19th century, the word “piece” referred to a passage for recitation or a short speech, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. The first published reference in the OED is from A New-England Tale (1822), a work by Catherine M. Sedgwick: “The young woman was to speak a piece of her own framing.”
The expression now, of course, usually means to have one’s say or express one’s opinion. Here’s a recent example from the April 9, 2003, issue of the Washington Times: “He … gives each caller a chance to say his piece before moving on.”

Speak your piece and hold your peace are two common idioms in English.
It's easy to confuse the spelling of piece/peace in these idioms, but there is a logic to the difference.
Speak your piece means "state your opinion or view." One sense of the word piece is specific to this expression.
He'd planned to speak his piece at the next meeting.
I encourage you all to speak your piece before we decide.
Several other residents came forward to speak their piece.
