The Echo and languages

[fm_fenrir]

I think the only time you see Ascians using their "native tongue" is in cutscenes where the WOL or Minfilia aren't involved. Both characters can understand Ascians through the Echo, and the cutscene "text boxes" refer to the change between "You're not supposed to understand this" and "The player is understanding what's being said". If you recall, the cutscenes in the Rising Stones with Nabriales and Elidibus looks like an Ascian standing in silence looking at Minfilia and the WOL to the rest of the Scions, but they're just soliloquizing away to the two characters that can understand them.

Edit: I misread, sorry. That's exactly why I ask. It's like they turn off speaking Echo-translate sometimes - if it exists at all, which is what I'm asking. Either the Echo only allows for understanding and not speaking the languages, or you can turn the speaking translate off. Somehow.
