Final Fantasy XIV (ファイナルファンタジーXIV Fainaru Fantajī Fōtīn), also known as Final Fantasy XIV Online, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix, originally for Microsoft Windows in 2010. It is the fourteenth entry in the main Final Fantasy series and the second MMORPG in the series after Final Fantasy XI.

Players take on the mantle of the Warrior of Light, an adventurer blessed by Hydaelyn, the Mothercrystal, and join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and save the world.

Hydaelyn/Venat

  • Hear... Feel... Think.
  • Lands that stretch on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature, silent yet strong. And amidst it all, a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before. They are my meaning and my purpose. My love. In spite of... or perhaps because of this, I choose to believe. In mankind's potential. In his ability to find a way forward. So let there be no way back. From that temptation I sunder us! No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise! Henceforth, he shall walk.
    • (prior to Venat becoming Hydaelyn and sundering Etheirys)

Scions of the Seventh Dawn

Alphinaud Leveilleur

  • Whenever the realm is threatened, be it by primal, Ascian, Garlean or any other, we take up arms in her defense, that all in Eorzea may live to see a brighter tomorrow.
  • We are family in all but name, my lord. Though we share no blood, we have stood by each other through life's many challenges, resolved to prevail together─or not at all.

Lyse Hext / "Yda Hext"

  • So, this is it. Whatever I choose to do from now on, I do as Lyse. ...And I choose to continue my family's fight. I want Ala Mhigo to be the country that Yda and my father always wanted it to be!

Minfilia Warde

  • Please, Mother Hydaelyn... lend us your divine strength.
  • Why can You not hear us? Do our words no longer reach You?!
  • Is aught amiss?
  • Pray, return to the Waking Sands.
  • There exist myriad barriers that divide us—those of race and nation, language and creed, to name but a few. Such barriers serve to isolate us from our neighbors...yet they also serve to define who we are. Shorn of them, there would be little to distinguish one from another, and the rich variety of our lives would give way to sterile orthodoxy. These barriers can never truly be broken down, of course—not so long as there is liberty in the world—but they can be transcended!
  • If ever you should falter, remember this: no one, however powerful, is immune to the whisperings of doubt and despair. Do not give in to them, but do not deny them either. Look instead to the light within, that you may continue to serve as a beacon to others.

Papalymo Totolymo

  • It is precisely when things appear to be proceeding according to plan that we must needs steel ourselves for impending danger.

Thancred Waters

  • First you invite me to your party then you ask me to leave? I do so detest receiving mixed signals!
  • Lady Lilira, for all our sakes, please... stay out of harm's way. As for you, my friend... for Lilira's sake, please stay in harm's way!

Y'shtola Rhul

  • Hmm.... how very convenient.
  • (To Magnai) I am... not interested, little sun. Try again when you have become a man.

Urianger Augurelt

  • In prophecy are a myriad truths concealed. The eye of man decreeth which shall be revealed.
  • 'Tis oft said truth is a matter of perspective. Yet upon this matter, there can be but one truth. I only pray it is not his.
  • [...] for the world is a tapestry of fates, interwoven and inseparable, and we who strive to better it cannot choose but make difficult decisions. For naught of worth was ever achieved without sacrifice. And thus must man ever struggle to weigh life against loss.

Side Characters

G'raha Tia

  • How many years have come and gone since that day? How many years have I waited for this moment. For the one who stood alone against the storm...For the one they called...the Warrior of Light
  • This tragedy, greater even than the Seventh Umbral Calamity, must be undone. If history must be unwritten, let it be unwritten. Become what you must. Become...the Warrior of Darkness.

Ascians

Hades/Emet-Selch/Solus zos Galvus

  • No lands must remain beyond our grasp. Go forth. Conquer. Rule.
  • (Offering his aid to retrieve Y'shtola from the Lifestream) Once you've found a likely spot, all you need do is whistle. You do know how to whistle, don't you, hero? Just put your lips together and blow. Well, what are you standing around here for? Get searching! You do want to save her, don't you?
  • (After Emet-Selch retrieves Y'shtola from the Lifestream) What a touching reunion that was. It fair brought a tear to the eye. But as we both know, such tender moments are nothing if not momentary. Before long, they will remember their many differences, and return to squabbling.
    • ("You're wrong. They're better than that."): Oh, if I had a gil for every time one of you heroes made that claim...
    • ("Says the arch Bringer of Chaos.") Ah hah hah! Flattery will get you nowhere, dear boy.
But seriously, we Ascians do what we do for the greater good. For the Rejoining. Though we may sow the seeds of chaos, it is man who tends them, he who reaps their bountiful harvest.
  • Really. I have no need of deception─and even if I did, I assure you: you would find it quite indistinguishable from the truth.
  • No fight left to fight! No life left to live...
  • Who are you? No one. Nothing.
  • Remember... Remember us... Remember... that we once lived...

Elidibus

  • Well, Hydaelyn. I take my leave of You. Yours is the mantle of the last of us. May You have... the joy of it. The burden... and the solitude. It falls to You now - You and Your champion - to save our star.

Other

  • Cocobezi: But should your arcane conflagrations ever fail you, remember my last line of defense: unabashed sobbing.
  • Lina Mewrilah: I may or may not have overheard our friend the dramaturge utter the word “fetch” a time or three during your last conversation. Don't let it discourage you. I know these tasks would be far from simple were it not for the trust you have fostered with the people of some half-dozen nations.
  • No would-be hero could fail to answer this call. For who among us does not yearn for salvation?
  • Knowledge seeks no man.
  • Curtis: Spoken like a true patriot. But liberty should not be the end in of itself. Liberty is the chance to build something better. A stronger, more prosperous home for our people. It's not quick or easy work, and it is never truly finished─but if you neglect it, then sooner or later, you look up to find you've traded one tyrant for another.
  • Grimcogg: You were there, in the middle of it all, strong as a hundred men! A bulwark against the tide of eaters that threatened to overwhelm us! And now you've brought me a sandwich!
  • Ardbert: I don't remember when it was that I learned regret wasn't worth the bother. You get numb to it all over the years. The lost comrades, the broken promises, the abandoned principles─just more nagging burdens to ignore.
  • Moren: (to the Crystal Exarch) “When all falls down around you, rise up.” Those were your words. “There may come a day when all hope seems lost. But even should the rest of the world give in to despair─we shall not. We shall fight on, that our children and our children's children might know a better tomorrow.”
  • Seto: Of course, you are you, and no one else. We are defined not by the soul we are born with, but the path we walk.
  • Fight and struggle. Seek salvation by your own hands. Though the losses be grave, endure them. Though the victories be hollow, claim them.
  • Minfilia: Coming together, providing for one another─that's the only way forward I can see. Since all of our heroes are gone, we'll just have to make heroes of ourselves.

Dialogue

  • [Yda and Papalymo, after being found by the Warrior of Light, starting to wake up after a teleportation spell brought them to the Tweleveswood.]:
  • Yda: *stumbling a bit * Ugggh...My head...
  • Papalymo: *wake* Where are we? Near Girdania, you think?
  • Yda: Take a look around. It's oblivious, isn't it? The quiet, the calm, the beautiful flowers. There's only one place it could be! The great beyond. I do believe we're dead, Papalymo.
  • Papalymo: Oh, Rhalgr take you and your great beyond!
  • Yda: *notices the Warrior* See? Look, here's a psychopomp come to guide us along. Nana, is that you?
  • Papalymo: And what that make them? Your dearly departed childhood pets come to play fetch?
  • Yda: Always the cynic! It is so...Oh. *Notices the wolves*
  • Papalymo: Save your japes or it be our limbs they're fetching.
  • Yda: *Getting into a fighting stance* Over my dead body! Hyah!
  • Urianger: What sayst thou, Master Matoya? We may accept our fate or run from it, but we cannot deny it.
  • Y'shtola: Deny? I am not want to run from my trouble. [An updraft unhoods her] Until our friend returns, I will hold the line.
  • Vauthry: Who gave you permission to tend to that criminal's wounds!? I told you to paint me a picture!
  • Alphinaud: What you need is a mirror, not a painting. It will capture the horror I see before me far better than I ever could.
  • Y'shtola: You're plotting something.
  • Emet-Selch: Every hour of every day. But never you mind about that.
  • [After the Warrior of Darkness has slumped due to the Light's power, they find themselves in a white void, with Ardbert standing next to them.]
  • Ardbert: If you had the strength to take one more step, could you do it? Could you save both our worlds?
  • The Warrior:: You know I could/What, all by myself?
  • Ardbert: [chuckles and hands the warrior his axe] Take it. We fight as one.
