Summary
- Alphinaud has the most dialogue in Final Fantasy 14, surprising many longtime players.
- Despite only being featured heavily in Dawntrail, Wuk Lamat comes in third place.
- Unsurprisingly, Urianger's most used words consist of 'tis', 'thou', and 'Loporrits'.
An avid Final Fantasy 14 player has meticulously analyzed all the dialogue present in the game, from A Realm Reborn to the latest expansion, Dawntrail, revealing that Alphinaud has the most dialogue in the MMO. This comprehensive analysis, spanning over a decade of content, has surprised many longtime players with its findings on the most talkative characters.
Final Fantasy 14 boasts a rich and intricate history that began with its initial release in 2010. The original 1.0 version was markedly different from the current iteration and received a lukewarm reception from the gaming community. The game's poor reception led to its shutdown in November 2012, following an in-game calamity where the moon of Dalamud crashed into Eorzea. This event set the stage for the 2.0 version, A Realm Reborn, released in 2013, which was Naoki Yoshida's successful effort to rebuild trust with the gaming community.
Reddit user turn_a_blind_eye shared their detailed findings on the platform, providing a breakdown of dialogue across each expansion, starting with A Realm Reborn. The analysis included who had the most lines and the most frequently used words, as well as an overall assessment of dialogue throughout the game. It's no surprise to fans that Alphinaud, a central figure in every expansion since the game's inception, leads the dialogue count. However, the close second and third places held by Wuk Lamat, introduced late in Endwalker and prominently featured in Dawntrail, were unexpected. Wuk Lamat's dialogue count surpassed that of established characters like Y'shtola and Thancred, reflecting the character-centric nature of Dawntrail. Another newcomer, Zero, also made it into the top 20, outranking the fan-favorite antagonist Emet-Selch.
Alphinaud Determined to be Final Fantasy 14's Most Talkative NPC
Urianger's dialogue provides a humorous glimpse into his character, with his most used words being 'tis', 'thou', and 'Loporrits'. The Loporrits, moon rabbits introduced in Endwalker, feature prominently in Urianger's interactions both during the expansion and in subsequent post-patch quests.
As we approach the new year, Final Fantasy 14 is set for an exciting 2025. Patch 7.2 is slated for an early release, with Patch 7.3 expected to wrap up Dawntrail later in the year.
