FFXIV Data Mine Unveils Talkative Titan

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, highlighting the sheer volume of dialogue accumulated over the game's decade-long lifespan.

The game's history is rich and complex, beginning with the poorly received 1.0 release in 2010. The subsequent shutdown in 2012, triggered by the Dalamud moon's catastrophic impact on Eorzea, paved the way for the successful relaunch, A Realm Reborn (2.0), in 2013. This reboot, spearheaded by Naoki Yoshida, revitalized the game and rebuilt player trust.

Reddit user turn_a_blind_eye meticulously documented their findings, providing a detailed breakdown of dialogue per expansion, identifying top speakers and most frequently used words. Alphinaud's leading position, unsurprising given his consistent prominence, is overshadowed by a more unexpected result: Wuk Lamat's third-place ranking. Despite a significant presence primarily in the recent Dawntrail expansion, Wuk Lamat's dialogue count surpasses established favorites like Y'shtola and Thancred. Another newcomer, Zero, also cracked the top 20, exceeding even the beloved antagonist Emet-Selch.

Adding a touch of humor, Urianger's linguistic quirks were revealed, with "tis," "thou," and "Loporrits" dominating his vocabulary. The Loporrits, moon rabbits introduced in Endwalker, clearly hold a special place in Urianger's narrative.

Looking ahead, 2025 promises excitement for Final Fantasy XIV players. Patch 7.2 is anticipated early in the year, with Patch 7.3 expected to provide the definitive conclusion to the Dawntrail storyline.
