Grand total: 3089 lines


Chapters in which characters had the most lines:
Lino en Kuldes: 4
Elenor Silverberg: 3
Snowe Vingerhut: 2
Katarina, Lazlo, Paula*: 1 each

Note about the four friends: Presumably, if you take Jewel and/or Tal with you instead of Keneth or Paula, the former will have lines in the 80-110 range instead.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Final comments:
-Oh man. 5000 lines was the hilariously bad prediction; I knew I'd make at least one but did not expect to be off by that much. The game's clock is significantly longer than S1's, but the combination of load times, sailing, some time-wasting activities, sailing, camera shots without dialog, and sailing all allow S4 to have significantly fewer lines than S1 anyway. It's an empty game in a lot of ways, and dialog is certainly one. Suikoden 3 has triple the line count of this game!
-My predictions for the top ten were pretty good, once you allow for the fact that I was deliberately excluding the four friends. I missed Katarina and overestimated Kika and Desmond but not too badly.
-It really is crazy how much the earlygame dominates in terms of lines. Those first three chapters make up only a small amount of the game's playtime, but account for nearly a quarter of its lines and singlehandedly secure Snowe the top spot and Glen/Katarina spots in the top ten.
-I'm still really good at overestimating strategists. In my defence, Elenor was a very line-dense character after she joined, just... there isn't actually much dialog left after she joins, because empty game is empty.
-Ted may have more impact on the gameplay of S4 than S1, but he has far less on the plot, with over 100 lines fewer. Jeane and Viki never have many lines, and this game did not change that.
-Props to Cmdr who absolutely aced her midgame prediction: Lino did indeed creep just past Snowe's midgame total, but Snowe's "two dozen" (actually 25!) lines kept him ahead.

New overall line leaders (200+):

1. Viktor - 881
(Chris as Flame Champion: ~840)
2. Hugo - 793
3. Nanami - 700
4. Chris - 682
5. Jowy - 547
6. Thomas - 541
(Geddoe as Flame Champion: ~480)
7. Flik - 475
8. Sgt Joe - 410
9. Luc - 407
10. Shu - 390
11. Riou - 372
12. Apple - 363
13. Ace - 319
14. Gremio - 304
15. Cecile - 294

19. Salome - 223
20. Snowe - 217
21. Cleo - 214

Well that was an easy update to make! S4 barely sneaks one character into the top 20.

Next up: Final Fantasy X. As most of you know this game is one of my favourites.

Compared to most other games I've done the lines are a bit shorter, if measured by number of words. FFX makes relatively more use of pauses, laughter, and other non-word communication compared to Suikoden, XF, or Fire Emblem, and the actual lines themselves can sometimes just be a few words long (though as always, they really do vary). My consistent standard remains to count lines based on "one appearance of text on the screen at one time = one line" and to not count voice work that lacks a caption (typically short vocalizations like laughter, surprise, etc.).

I'm already 1500+ lines in so it's a bit late for predictions, but my original guess was that FFX would fall between S2 and S3 for lines (so 7000-9000 roughly). Tidus will definitely have the most and should easily break 1000. Wakka, Yuna, and Auron will fight for second... Wakka certainly gets off to a strong start but we'll see! I'll be stunned if the six non-Kimahri PCs aren't top six, so Lulu and Rikku next. NPC with the most lines will... probably be Seymour? Not certain. Jecht / Mika / Kimahri to round out the top ten? Let's go with that.

This is the first time Tidus accounts for less than a quarter of the lines in a chapter! Still has the most, though. This chapter is also notable for the introduction of several of the recurring secondary NPCs who show up throughout the PCs' journey. Also, unusually low totals for Wakka and Lulu.

Note: There's a conversation between Tidus and Lulu here which can be replaced by a conversation between Tidus and Rikku, but in all my playthroughs I've never seen it, so the numbers here assume the Lulu scene.

Included here is a scene in which Tidus rides a snowmobile with the character whom he has the highest affinity with (excluding Yuna and Wakka). For a variety of reasons, this is highly likely to be Lulu, so that is the scene which is counted. I may look up the others later.

Three Houses Line Counts

For the last few months me and Elfboy have been working on a line count project for Three Houses! Three Houses has a lot of dialogue, between main plot, supports, and other content so it was quite a task!

The lines are counted per text box, or for the narration, each time a new page turns!

This does not include Yuri, Hapi, Balthus, Constance, or Anna. It might happen if I get back into the mood but right now… no.

Total line count for the non-DLC content by character (all routes)

This includes: cutscenes, animated cutscenes, monastery dialogue, paralogues, supports, S-supports, goddess tower scenes.

Note: This does not include generic quotes like eating dialogue, task dialogue, or level up quotes. Everyone has the same # of these so you can just add 10 lines to all of the playable characters if you want.

[Dark Holy Elf]

Finishing the mainline Suikoden series, it's Suikoden V!

This game has a lot of lines, easily the most of any traditional RPG I've counted so far (3H has more but only if you count supports). I had kinda expected that it might barely edge out Suikoden III, but I lost confidence in that once I realized that maybe voice acting would make me kneejerk overestimate it, as it had in S4. Well, turns out voice acting definitely was not the reason S4 had so few lines. S5 does, admittedly, have considerably more non-voiced lines than voiced, but it's got a lot of both.

I didn't make any predictions and it's all done now, so away we go!

Note: There are two branches of the story here. First, a minor one: I opted to defend Lelcar instead of Lordlake, both because it's the default option and because there's a naval component to the battle, making it a bit easier. Second, the major one: I chose to abandon the castle, because that's how you keep 108 stars.

Note: Again, this continues the "abandon the castle" branch of the story. There's a third branch that also occurs in this chapter, where you choose whether to attack Doraat or Sable, and I've chosen to attack Doraat for the same reasons as Lelcar was chosen in the first branch.

Chapters in which characters had the most lines:
1. Sialeeds: 6
2t. Lucretia, Lyon: 5 each
4t. Kyle, Miakis: 3 each
6. Salum Barows: 2
Euram Barows, Gizel Godwin, Logg, Lymsleia, Nakula, Oboro, Rahal, Raja, Shoon, Skald Egan, Sorensen, Toma, Yahr: 1 each
Lelei, Orok: tied for 1


Other random notes:
-Georg, Jeane, Killey, Lorelai, and Viki return in Suikoden V after appearing in previous games. Every one of them has more lines in this game than any previous, unless one combines Viki and Little Viki in Suikoden III.
-Leknaat also returns in Suikoden V, and has more lines than she did in III or IV, but fewer than in I or II.
-One character who stands out to me is Marscal. As the arguable main antagonist (in the sense he's ultimately in charge of the Godwin faction) and last one standing, he has under 100 lines in a game where many other antagonists blow way past that. I can't say I expected him to have fewer lines than Alenia or Childerich.
-With nearly 50% more lines than the next closest game, Suikoden V characters hold pretty much all the records within the series: most lines by one character, most lines by a silent main, most lines by a strategist, most lines by a character who is not playable, you name it.
-One record it does not hold: most lines by a male character, still held by Viktor. In fact, female characters accounted for all of the top three, and five of the top six, in Suikoden V. The distribution evens out after that, but it still means that V easily has more female voices than any other game in the series. I haven't formally totaled it but I'd be stunned if this weren't the only game in the series they were over 50%.

Chapters in which characters had the most lines:
Jude: 13
Arnaud, Gawn: 2 each

Random comments:
-At just under 24%, Jude has the highest percentage of his game's lines of any character so far. He's very important!
-This is another game where the PCs clearly dominate, due to how much dialog they have with each other.
-The top ten is mostly predictable, although I was a bit surprised Jeremy edged out Augst (I think of the latter as notably more important). Jeremy is pretty good at talking a lot the few times he's on screen, though.

VALKYRIE PROFILE

Prologue

Platina - 26
Lucian - 21
Mother Laia - 3

Arngrim/Jelanda recruitment

Arngrim - 115
Jelanda - 49
Badrach - 34
Roland - 22
Lombert - 17
Lenneth Valkyrie - 10
King of Artolia - 6
Villnore Agent - 6
Head Chef - 5
Waitress - 4
Lawfer - 2
Lawfer's father - 2
Narrator - 1
Other (Artolian knights) - 9

Total: 282 lines

Notes: This is definitely a bit outside the norm for recruitments from here on out, being a bit of an introduction to the setting and the system as well. It's the longest recruitment by a notable margin.

Chapter 0

Freya - 61
Lenneth Valkyrie - 33
Odin - 8
Frei - 4
Elder Vampire - 3

Total: 109 lines

Belenus recruitment

Belenus - 29

Llewelyn recruitment

Millia - 14
Llewelyn - 12
Lenneth Valkyrie - 8
Other (priests) - 2
Unknown - 2
Narrator - 1

Total: 39 lines

Notes: The unknowns are people Millia is overhearing... probably her parents? Also a rare recruitment where someone besides the recruited character has the most lines.

Other Chapter 1 (Solde Catacombs)

Lenneth Valkyrie - 3
Other (necromancers) - 1

Total: 4 lines

Lawfer recruitment

Lawfer - 16
Celia - 5
Arngrim - 4
Kashell - 3
Lawfer's father - 3
Other (Artolian knights) - 2
Roland - 1

Total: 34 lines

Nanami recruitment

Nanami - 24
Lenneth Valkyrie - 7
Nanami's mother - 6
Nanami's father - 5

Total: 42 lines

Jun recruitment

Ogre - 10
Jun - 8 (or 18, if you combine his total with the Ogre's)
Ai - 8
Nanami's father - 8
Lenneth Valkyrie - 7
Other (Hai-Lan residents) - 4

Total: 45 lines

Notes: The ogre is a reflection of Jun's personality (specifically his lust for violence) so if you want to combine his and Jun's lines that would be pretty reasonable. And yes, Nanami's father returns here. He's called "Shinto priest" but he has the same sprite/portrait and the same job in the same town so presumably it's the same guy. Or they're twins.

Other Chapter 2 (Nethov Swamp, Salerno Academy)

Lenneth Valkyrie - 6

Total: 6 lines

Kashell recruitment

Kashell - 20
Celia - 17
Greater Demon - 3

Ernest - 5
Gunter - 5
Lenneth Valkyrie - 3
Other (Crell Monferaigne residents) - 3

Total: 31 lines

Notes: Bert and Ernie! This is one of the shortest recruitments. I still don't really understand the plot of it.

Other Chapter 3 (Oddrock Caves, Clockwork Mansion)

Lenneth Valkyrie - 5
Greater Demon - 2

Total: 5 lines

Yumei recruitment

Yumei - 49
Fuyuki - 43
Fuyuki's father - 27

Total: 126 lines

Aelia recruitment

Aelia - 13
Lenneth Valkyrie - 6
Gandar - 5
Other (Villnore knights) - 2

Total: 26 lines

Notes: The shortest normal recruitment in the game. It's funny to contrast its length with the Yumei recruitment; you can potentially get them back-to-back (as I did, this playthrough).

Lorenta recruitment

Lezard Valeth - 40
Lorenta - 21
Other (elves) - 10
Lorenta's husband - 5
Bellion - 4
Other (Flenceburg sorcerers) - 2

Total: 82 lines

Lezard Valeth - 22
Claire - 17
Lucian - 9
Dolce - 7
Brahms - 6
Other (Gerabellum) - 1

Total: 90 lines

Mystina recruitment

Mystina - 66
Lezard Valeth - 47
Other (Flenceburg sorcerers) - 6
Lenneth Valkyrie - 3

Total: 122 lines

Notes: One of the wordier recruitments, which is unsurprising given that it's basically part of the main plot en route to the A ending.

Lucian recruitment

Lucian - 18
Claire - 13
Other (Gerabellum) - 10
Lenneth Valkyrie - 5
Barren - 1
Rusty - 1

Total: 48 lines

Notes: The "other" is mostly dying children. Lovely world, this.

Grey recruitment

Celia - 22
Grey - 5
Lenneth Valkyrie - 5
Kashell - 4
Aelia - 1

Total: 37 lines

Notes: I'm sure I wasn't the only one who first watched this recruitment expecting we would get Celia.

Other Chapter 5 (Arkdain Ruins, Citadel of Flame)

Lenneth Valkyrie - 7
Fire Elemental - 2
Raver Lord - 1

Jayle recruitment

Jayle - 24
Fahn - 19
Genevieve - 14
Magnus - 8
Lenneth Valkyrie - 5

Total: 70 lines

Shiho recruitment

Other (Hai-Lan) - 9
Shiho - 7
Suo - 6
Other (Suo's army) - 4
Suo's Superior - 3

Total: 29 lines

Notes: Imagine having less lines in your own recruitment than nameless generics.

Badrach recruitment

Badrach - 81
Lenneth Valkyrie - 16
Geena - 13
Villnore Agent - 4

Total: 114 lines

Notes: Badrach, Badrach. So many words, so bad at explaining yourself. It's a miracle he became an einherjar. Highest line count of any recruit outside of Arngrim.

Lost City of Dipan

Lenneth Valkyrie - 37
Barbarossa - 27
Walther - 12
Hrist Valkyrie - 9
Malabeth - 9
Dallas - 8 or 10
Gyne - 6 or 8
Mystina (past) - 3
Llewelyn (past) - 2

Total: 115 lines

Notes: Finally a dungeon with significant plot! There are some scenes where the three mages (Walther, Dallas, and Gyne) speak over a black background. The lines appear in three distinct positions on the screen, so can each be associated with one character, and furthermore one of the speakers is identified as the leader by the other two, which implies he is Walther. But it's impossible to tell which of the other two speakers is Dallas and which is Gyne, hence the ambiguity. Dallas has two more lines than Gyne when the three are revealed on-screen.

Lucian Transfer Scene

Lucian - 23
Lenneth Valkyrie - 14

Total: 37 lines

Other Chapter 6 (Sunken Shrine)

Wraith - 3
Lenneth Valkyrie - 2

Total: 5 lines

Lucian Asgard Scene

Lucian - 33
Loki - 21
Frei - 17
Narrator - 10
Lenneth Valkyrie - 7
Platina - 1

Total: 89 lines

Notes: The lines I've attributed to narration here are a bit weird... I'm not even certain that's what they're supposed to be. They kinda summarize some dialog that appears off-screen, though, and it's not in the voice of the character(s) who might be speaking.

Suo recruitment

Suo - 16
Other (Suo's army) - 6
Suo's superior - 4
Lenneth Valkyrie - 3
Other (Hai-Lan) - 3

Total: 32 lines

Notes: There are three lines here (the first three, actually) that I'm not 100% certain are Suo, but I think they're supposed to be him talking to himself (they certainly don't fit Suo's comrades). So I've included them.

Other Chapter 7 (Lyseria, Forest of Spirits, Tomes of the Amenti)

Other (elves) - 25
Lenneth Valkyrie - 17
Akhetamen - 4
Lyseria - 4

Total: 50 lines

Sacred Phases

Freya - 49
Odin - 15
Lucian - 2
Lenneth Valkyrie - 1
Loki - 1

Total: 68 lines

Notes: Almost all Freya except for Odin's 6-line request to recruit Lyseria in the Chapter 6 sacred phase, and then the Freya/Odin exchange about Lucian and Loki in Chapter 7's. This does not include any lines from the einherjar themselves, because that depends on who you send. There are a substantial number of lines uncounted as a result...

Other Chapter 8 (Palace of the Dragon, Arianrod, Celestial Castle)

Lenneth Valkyrie - 14
Gandar - 13
Freya - 6
Dark Lord - 4
Genevieve - 4

Notes:
-Valkyrie Profile is an interesting game for this. It obviously has a very different narrative structure than the other games I've done line counts for. This manifests in the game having quite a low line count for an RPG.
-Lenneth, interestingly, rarely has the most lines in any given significant chunk of the game; it literally never happens in a recruitment scene, nor in the earlygame. Once the actual plot shows up in the mid- and lategame, she finally gets a chance to shine. And of course, since nobody else except her is consistently around, her first place finish is a foregone conclusion.
-Lezard comes second in large part because this man loves the sound of his own voice. Another fitting that description is Badrach, who gets to a sixth place finish despite being utterly irrelevant in the overarching narrative.
-Two recruitment-only NPCs make the top twelve, which is pretty remarkable: Fuyuki, who benefits from a strong supporting role in one of the longest recruitments, and Celia, who is a rarity in the VP world: a mortal with an uncanny ability to not die.
-The playable character with the least lines is Lyseria (although presumably she'd pass Gandar if you counted her sacred phase stuff. Maybe?). Janus, Shiho, and Grey are also buried deep among minor NPCs.

Total: 1629 lines

Notes:
-I didn't include einherjar recruitment lines. They all have one each, though of course, which ones you get are random.
-VP2 has a crazy low line total compared to most RPGs. The text boxes are short, too! To some extent it's a bit of a writing-light game, and it's probably also the result of trying to full voice act a lower-budget game in the mid 00's.
-VP2 also has a very small number of characters, relatively; just 18 named, which is surely the lowest of any game I've counted.
-Many VP2 characters also appeared in VP1, naturally. Lenneth, Lezard, Freya, Arngrim, as well as Barbarossa and Gyne (surprisingly) have more lines in VP1. Hrist, Brahms, Odin, Dallas, Walther, and Ull have more lines in VP2. Silmeria technically appears in VP1 but only has lines in VP2.

VP1-2 combined line totals:

1. Lenneth - 396
2. Rufus - 361
3. Lezard - 296
4. Alicia - 289
5. Arngrim - 230

[Dark Holy Elf]

Turns out I wasn't done with Suikoden after all, it's time for Tierkreis!

Outside of Suikoden 3, the tenkai star doesn't usually talk. Well, what if a tenkai star talked. A lot.

No, seriously. A LOT. I was expecting big numbers, but they ended up just staggering. You'll never know unless you count, I guess.

Comments:
-Tierkries has pretty small textboxes on average, but even so these are big numbers. Perhaps it's not too shocking; it's not a short game (probably the third longest Suikoden) and it's also probably the most dialog-dense game I've counted lines for. Relatively gameplay-light, borders on having a visual novel feel at points.
-Sieg's numbers are unreal. He kinda smashes every record in these threads so far. He has the highest percentage of his game's lines by a good margin (Jude was 24%, Sieg is 29%); he's always onscreen outside the odd villain-cam scene, and is very opinionated about everything. At over 5000 lines he beats several full games by himself.
-Liu's a very solid second; only Wild Arms XF managed to have two characters over 1000 lines until Tierkreis.
-Dirk leads the way for NPCs, but to be fair this is in part because of his stint as a PC; without that he and Valfred are about tied, which makes sense.
-Jale having way less lines than the rest of the core Citro group is pretty notable, he's just a quiet guy. He still managed to just sneak into the top ten at the end.
-The rest of the top ten is filled out by major supporting PCs, most of whom join early, except Diadora who is very important once she does join (and has some NPC lines before then).
-So on the gender balance tracker, it's interesting that the top eight is 4:4, but then the next twelve are all men. Obviously Sieg was always gonna skew the overall total pretty far in one direction. It's probably pretty close to S1 (80%:20%) though I've not formally totaled it.
-Suikoden Tierkreis has 13 different characters with more lines than anyone from Suikoden 4.

Tales of Berseria

Tales of Berseria is one of the more line-dense games I've counted so far. Hope you like dialog! All six PCs talk a lot, each individually having more lines than all but a small handful of characters featured in this thread so far (Sieg and a few FE3H characters).

I've chosen to combine the numbers of certain malakhim and their human forms (if you've played the game, you know who) because the line between their personalities is quite blurry. I've spoiler-guarded the big one, but as always in these threads, minor spoilers still exist. On with the show!

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn

Remember when this was considered the story-heavy Fire Emblem game? Elferidge Farms remembers.

Anyway it's still a big game with a lot of lines, even with its lack of real support conversations (I am not counting the poor little vestigial RD support lines for this).

Total lines: 9274
