FF14 Data Dive: Uncovering the Most Vocal Hero

Key Findings: Final Fantasy XIV Dialogue Analysis

A comprehensive analysis of dialogue across all Final Fantasy XIV expansions, from A Realm Reborn to Dawntrail, reveals some surprising results regarding the most talkative characters.

Alphinaud reigns supreme: Alphinaud holds the title of most prolific speaker, a fact that has surprised many veteran players.
Wuk Lamat's unexpected third place: Despite a significant presence primarily in the Dawntrail expansion, Wuk Lamat secures a remarkable third place overall.
Urianger's distinctive vocabulary: True to his character, Urianger's most frequent words are "tis," "thou," and "Loporrits," reflecting his interactions with the moon rabbits introduced in Endwalker.

This extensive analysis, undertaken by Reddit user turn_a_blind_eye, meticulously details dialogue counts and word frequency for each expansion. The results highlight Alphinaud's consistent major role across the game's history. The strong showing by Wuk Lamat, a relatively new character, is particularly noteworthy, emphasizing the character-driven narrative of the Dawntrail expansion. Even newcomer Zero surpasses the popular antagonist Emet-Selch in overall dialogue.

Alphinaud: The Chattiest Character in Eorzea

Alphinaud's dominance in the dialogue rankings is unsurprising given his central role throughout the game's expansions. However, Wuk Lamat's high ranking, surpassing characters like Y'shtola and Thancred, is a testament to Dawntrail's focus on her character.

Looking Ahead to 2025

With Patch 7.2 expected early in 2025, and Patch 7.3 anticipated to conclude the Dawntrail storyline, Final Fantasy XIV players have much to look forward to in the coming year.
