    Travelers at the Crossroads

    I have Japanese audio but English text - I don't understand the Japanese and am dependant on the text to know what's going on.

    For MSQ Travelers at the Crossroads, I had to 'speak with Hythlodaeus' to use the teleporter at Notoneus to get to Kallimelios Zephyros in Elpis and a lengthy cutscene plays where you watch a spriggan run down the path in front of you, followed by a walking shark. Hythlodaeus explains that sharks are very popular and they get a shark idea(?) almost every day... and then my speech bubbles disappeared, but Hythlodaeus' voice CONTINUED TALKING FOR ANOTHER MINUTE OR TWO while I watched the shark lumber around. I have no idea if there is *supposed* to be translation here or if it's just something that was left off the English version or if I broke it somehow, but I really feel I missed something.

    I will check it in the Unending Journey in the Inn when I can but it's 5AM and I haven't time to continue now >.< Thanks for your time!

    Maybe Spoiler ahead

    As I recall with that scene, there is no text on screen in the English language version during that scene - in English Hythlodaeus continued to ramble on about the increasingly bizarre shark concepts people were recently submitting, including sharks with two heads as I distinctly remember, but as you said what he says in audio has no text dialogue box after a point, probably because it would have distracted from what happens during that scene (namely, the shark goes to charge Hythlodaeus who has his back to it and is unware it's going to attack, with Emet and the WoL drawing their weapons and preparing to fight it). Dialogue text returns on screen in that scene immediately after Venat suddenly shows up and disables the shark.

    Either way, it seemed to be working as intended that the dialogue does not show in text boxes temporarily in that scene, so as not to distract from the action (not helped by Hythlodaeus well and truely living up to his name - his name literally means "speaker of nonsense" in Greek ).

    All right, thank you very much. It occurred to me later that I could have simply checked somebody's youtube video of that scene. >.< Sorry to bother!

    And Hythlodaeus shall forevermore be known to me as 'Mr. Nonsense.' xD
