Summary
An avidFinal Fantasy 14player has analyzed all the dialogue present in the game, starting withA Realm Rebornand going all the way toDawntrail, to reveal that Alphinaud has the most dialogue in the MMO. This was no easy feat, considering thatFinal Fantasy 14has been going on for over a decade, and the most talkative characters are surprising many longtime players.
Final Fantasy 14has a long and complicated history, dating back to the game’s initial release in 2010.The 1.0 version ofFinal Fantasy 14was a vastly different gameto the one gamers have come to know now, and it wasn’t well-received by the gaming community. The reception to the game was so poor that, in November 2012, the game was shut down following an in-universe calamity that saw the moon of Dalamud crashing into Eorzea. This event became the catalyst for the story found in the 2.0 version of the game, dubbedA Realm Reborn,which was released in 2013 and was Naoki Yoshida’s attempt to re-earn the trust of gamers after the poor reception to the originalFinal Fantasy 14.
Reddit user turn_a_blind_eye posted their findings to the website, consisting of a full breakdown of the dialogue in each expansion starting withA Realm Rebornsplit up by who has the most lines and the most frequent words used, as well as an overall analysis of dialogue throughout the entire game. Unsurprising to most fans, Alphinaud, who has played a major role ineach expansion released sinceFinal Fantasy 14began, takes the top spot in the leaderboard for overall dialogue. What was more surprising, however, was that he was closely followed by Wuk Lamat in third place, who was only introduced on the tail-end ofEndwalkerand featured prominently throughout the most recent expansion,Dawntrail.
Alphinaud Determined to be Final Fantasy 14’s Most Talkative NPC
Wuk Lamat holding a dialogue count that beats characters such as Y’shtola and Thancred was a surprise to many fans, but given how character-centricDawntrailas an expansion was, it’s not wholly unexpected that its leading lady tops out when it comes to dialogue. Zero, another relative newcomer to the game, also reached the overall top 20, holding more lines than the fan-favorite antagonist Emet-Selch. Urianger’s dialogue offers some lighthearted insight into his character, with his most used words consisting of ‘tis’, ‘thou’, and ‘Loporrits’. TheLoporrits are the moon rabbits that made their debut inEndwalker, and Urianger ends up spending a lot of time with them both during the expansion and in the post-patch quests.
As the near year begins,Final Fantasy 14is looking to have an exciting 2025. Patch 7.2 is expected to be released early in the year, with the later Patch 7.3 believed to see the definitive conclusion ofDawntrailas a whole.
