It's almost too obvious now that everyone is into it, but the "Baby girl" callback in Last of Us sure got me at the time.
"Let's see how far they fly... On borrowed wings..."
From Armored Core 6.
"In a world without gold, me might've been heroes." - Blackbeard, AC: Black Flag
Catherine...? Catherine?!
"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.

Hold! What you are doing to us is wrong! Why do you do this thing?
Not a line per se since the game didn't really have a real language, but when the older brother died in Brothers: Tale of Two Sons. I was sobbing hard. Even in the gibberish made up language you could feel the despair.
For me, it was a gameplay element. The point where you're swimming and have to use the older brother's stick just brought the whole thing together for me, and was something that could only be done within a video game, as opposed to any other form of media.

There sure must be a lot of better candidates, but this one comes to my mind:
We can forget happy things. We can probably forget sad things too. People have the power to forget.

You are the child of my makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are forerunner, but this ring, Is mine.
That one gave me both the feels and goosebumps the first time I heard it.
"It's-a me, Mario!" 🥹
I need you to take a deep breath… and find your balls.
It's not your standard emotion, but when a Civ VI game ends and there's that button that says "Just one more turn..." I've had a huge range of emotional responses.

"She loved you and you killed her"
And there's also
"Kim REALLY trusts you" Even tho it's not an actual line
Probably not the absolute most touching, but, yeah, I think it's a pretty touching scene in context.
Spoilers for Brok the Investigator:
During chapter 2 there's a scene where Brok and Graff go up to a spot where Brok and Graffs mom used to go on dates, outside the dome. They have a father son bonding moment and at one point Graff asks:
Is it... wrong if I can't remember her? Not just her but... My father too.
It's an emotional moment where he wonders if not being able to remember his birth parents makes him a bad person and to me is a pretty emotional moment, with the music playing a just as equal role as making it emotional as the voice acting does.
