Final Fantasy XIV's Most Loquacious Characters Revealed
A comprehensive analysis of dialogue across all Final Fantasy XIV expansions, from A Realm Reborn to Dawntrail, has yielded a surprising result: Alphinaud boasts the most lines. This discovery has stunned many veteran players. The study, a monumental undertaking given the game's decade-long history, also reveals unexpected placements for other characters.
Wuk Lamat, a significant character primarily featured in the recent Dawntrail expansion, surprisingly claims the third position in overall dialogue. This highlights the expansion's character-driven narrative.
The analysis, posted by Reddit user turn_a_blind_eye, provides a detailed breakdown of dialogue per expansion, including character rankings and most frequently used words. While Alphinaud's top ranking is unsurprising given his consistent major role, Wuk Lamat's high placement is a notable revelation, surpassing even established favorites like Y'shtola and Thancred. Another newcomer, Zero, also makes the top 20, exceeding even the popular antagonist, Emet-Selch.
Urianger's linguistic quirks were also highlighted, with "tis," "thou," and "Loporrits" (the moon rabbits introduced in Endwalker) dominating his vocabulary, reflecting his interactions with these creatures throughout the Endwalker expansion and subsequent post-patch content.
Alphinaud: FFXIV's Chattiest NPC
The unexpected high dialogue count for Wuk Lamat, considering Dawntrail's focus on her character, is less surprising in retrospect. The detailed analysis provides fascinating insights into character prominence and narrative development across the game's extensive history.
With the new year approaching, Final Fantasy XIV promises an exciting 2025. Patch 7.2 is anticipated early in the year, with Patch 7.3 expected to conclude the Dawntrail storyline.
