Describe the Bug

This issue is for all version of MGS3 (Subsistence, Snake Eater, US, JPN, ect)

The location / time text animation during the opening cutscene plays at double speed (and as a result, the typewriter sound effect that is supposed to match with the speed of the text is out of sync.)

This issue occurs both with and without FPS patches enabled (note: base Snake Eater doesn't have any FPS patches anyway.)

Reproduction Steps

Start the game, the issue occurs roughly 1 minute and 20 seconds in.

Expected Behavior

The animation should normally take 5 seconds to complete, but it's finishing in only 2.5 seconds.
