Puppet language translated?

[MeltedLemonade]

Went into NG+, all the puppet text is in translated english now, is this normal?

Same, assumed intentional since you now know what the plot is so their dialogue isn't spoiling anything early.

Speaking of this, did anyone else notice the text seemed to get less garbled as the game went on? When I was fighting King of Puppets the first time (regular NG), I swear I could read most of the words. They were just broken up english letters, rather than complete static.

Yes, it's normal. Venigni gives you a decoder on NG but you need data from the whole game. When at the start of NG+ you already have the complete decoder on your inventory and now you can understand what other puppets were saying.

its from the puppet translator device you get from ven at the end of the game you keep it in ng+ i found out some more story from it to the broken police bots really sad

I don't think the text gets less garbled, you just get better at reading it. During my first playthrough, I dismissed them as unreadable nonsense until I got to the King of Puppets and started being able to make out words. On my second playthrough (not NG+), I was able to read the subtitles for the earlier bosses.

I think the main variable here is time - the King of Puppets fight has more downtime at the start of the fight after your first attempt. This gives you more time to look at the subtitles and, eventually, try reading them. That, and the fight's harder, so you're probably going to need more attempts to beat it.

yea. if you end up beating the game again dont immediately go into NG+ btw apparently theres a bunch of post ending interactions with NPCs for every ending.
