    Typo in sidequest "And We Shall Call It Eureka" (English)

    During the (English) cutscene in sidequest "And We Shall Call It Eureka", Ejika Tsunjika says, "... you've got another think coming!" I doubt this is intentional; should be "thing".

    This is not a typo. The localization team often chooses the older forms of words and expressions in order to make the game feel purposely old timey.

    In summary: Another think coming is the older of the two, dating in use to the mid-19th century, and originated in British English. Another thing coming appears to have come about in American English several decades later, probably as a result of confusion regarding the original phrase. Another thing is the more recent turn of phrase and now is more common, though it is frequently criticized.
