In this game, text boxes have 2 main states we will refer to. "Writing", and "Finished"
This state handles displaying the text character by character. Pressing the B button will immediately transition to the "Finished" state
This state simply just waits for input to decide on the next action. Pressing the A button will show the next text box in the "Writing" state. Pressing the B button will show the next text box already in the "Finished" state
Because text boxes can be autocompleted, the amount of characters in a text box does not matter. Instead, what matters is the total number of text boxes. Because of how fast text can be cleared, the difference is actually not too significant, with one exception. The text boxes that show on the white screen after collecting instruments can not be autocompleted and takes 5 seconds to complete. This matters because some languages have 2 per dungeon, while others only have 1
On Switch 1, German is the fastest language in all categories. On Switch 2, for some reason German has additional lag whenever the pause menu is opened. This results in French being faster for any category that pauses a lot
