Enhancement: Subtitles for spoken lines
For a future enhanced feature, having the option to activate subtitles for speech-only lines would be neat. By speech only, I refer to all in-game spoken-word interjections that are not matched by a dialogue window, such as townspeople greetings or player character commentaries such as "The sanctity of this place has been fouled."
These could be placed on the description box in the center of the in-game GUI, or displayed as chat.
The advantage of having having subtitles is that it would allow for the translation of these lines, and it would make the game more accessible to deaf people.
A good first step would be using the chat as you mention, then the visuals can be improved later. This might also make it easier to know what the code is doing as currently it just read SFX_ROUGE60
Let's expand this to subtitles for all sounds, rather than just spoken dialogue.

I wouldn't have it for every sound to prevent saturation. Item sounds, for instance are unecessary to have a subtitle for the hard of hearing. environmental sounds would be nice, but most of those are better handled with icons in my opinion.

Ideally you'd be able to set what categories of sounds you want displayed
