Every now and again, the games throw a line at you that just becomes an instant classic. Memorable statements that define a character in just a few words. Examples of "wit" that make you wonder what the designers were thinking. Excessively out-of-character remarks. Dialogue that deserves to be remembered for years to come.
Here, we pay tribute to those lines that deserve your attention. Read, enjoy, and maybe even reminisce. These may even end up integrating themselves into your daily vocabulary... uwee, hee, hee...
Chrono Trigger
You're a marshmallow, Glenn.-- Cyrus.
You, with the punk hairdo! You're "Lightning."-- Spekkio, teaching magic to Crono.
Final Fantasy VII
Out of my way. I'm going to see my mother.-- Sephiroth, on a mission.
...ding...-- Tifa, waking up from a coma after a tense end-of-the-world scene. Probably a mumbled "blinding."
Final Fantasy VIII
...-- Squall, everywhere.
Final Fantasy IX
Dagger: Aaah!-- Zidane cops a royal feel climbing the ladder to the airship.
Zidane: Ooo, soft...
Final Fantasy X
Person: You heathen!-- Tidus approaches the Besaidians after violating the rules of their temple. The old woman will repeat her line as often as you'd like, in a quivering "I'm really old, me" voice.
Old woman: Stay away from the summoner!
Child: You're a bad man!
Lulu: Don't tell Wakka about Yuna's lineage. The thing about Wakka--he never had much love for the Al Bhed.-- Tidus demonstrating his mental capacity and attention span.
Tidus: Whoa! I gotta tell Wakka!
Yuna: Uh, you probably shouldn't laugh anymore.-- That scene in Luca. Tidus continues.
