"Remember us... Remember that we once lived..."
And
“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.”
From Final Fantasy XIV. There are so many more, but those two stick out the most in my mind.
And I suppose "for those that we have lost, and those we can yet save." For my favorite recurring line.
I feel like the best thing about FFxiv is their ability to turn the villains into sympathetic characters without neutering their story. Every horrible thing they did is true and fits with their character, but the more you learn about them, the more the things they did made sense. And even while you know you have to beat them, you can see where they are coming from. Gaius got a little preachy, though, and I'm seriously thinking of changing the language to German to save a few seconds of cut scene during MSQ roulettes. Still, you could kind of see where he was coming from, what with the propaganda taking hold of the Garleans.
Except Zenos. Dude was just a sociopath who wanted a friend really badly.
Yes. Just yes.
