FFXIV Dialogue Analysis: Alphinaud Reigns Supreme
A comprehensive analysis of Final Fantasy XIV dialogue, spanning from A Realm Reborn to Dawntrail, reveals a surprising champion: Alphinaud. This extensive study, encompassing over a decade of in-game conversations, has shocked many veteran players.
The findings, detailed by Reddit user turn_a_blind_eye, break down dialogue counts per expansion, identifying most frequent words for key characters. Alphinaud's dominance in overall dialogue is unsurprising, given his consistent major role across expansions. However, the results also highlight the unexpected third-place finish of Wuk Lamat, a character heavily featured in the recent Dawntrail expansion. This placement surpasses even established favorites like Y'shtola and Thancred. Another newcomer, Zero, also secured a top-20 position, exceeding even the popular antagonist Emet-Selch.
The analysis offers amusing insights into character speech patterns. Urianger, for instance, frequently uses "tis," "thou," and "Loporrits"—a testament to his fondness for the moon rabbits introduced in Endwalker and his interactions with them throughout the expansion and subsequent quests.
Key Findings:
- Alphinaud: Holds the most dialogue overall.
- Wuk Lamat: Secures a surprising third place, largely due to Dawntrail's character-focused narrative.
- Urianger: His most common words reflect his personality: "tis," "thou," and "Loporrits."
With 2025 on the horizon, Final Fantasy XIV players anticipate exciting developments. Patch 7.2 is expected early in the year, with Patch 7.3 potentially concluding the Dawntrail storyline.
