NPC dialogue - not in chat log?

[Aztecguy82]

I don't remember since it's been a while, but in FF11 it went directly to the log, right? Which means I could scroll back through it. This sounds like it'll be a bubble that will go away after I've read it.

I think this is just for random npc dialog. Like when you approach npc are chatting or so. For quest i hope its on the log.
