It could be that they are reworking the dialogue of vendors for the end of the world (1.23a or b) and put this in as a placeholder, but I don't see why they went to the effort of changing the dialogue for this.

I hope the vendors will get lore based chat in 1.23a or b, something like "if you are going to face the cataclysm, my wares are second to none, please have a look" and we need a Chocolina style vendor, someone completely wacky and preferably wearing a chocobo outfit
