I wish I could somehow link to it, but the "Burn in the fires of damnation!" from certain enemies in Sacred is so iconic, it still pops into my head sometimes even though it must be at least 5 years since I last played the game.

"There is a fine line between consideration and hesitation. The former is wisdom, the latter is fear."



"To entertain doubt is to dance with death."



"The last emperor is always the worst."



"The throne is the most devious trap of them all."

They talk a great deal and threaten each other for various reasons mostly involving mating, survival, and resources - it is really quite tiresome. We were created for a tool of diplomacy among these meatbags (a surgical tool to be sure) to end the lives of organic meatbags that were marked as pivotal to our masters. We were created as a way of enforcing a certain galactic view of our masters, of imposing our masters' will on the galaxy through extermination of other organics."

If you've got a straight answer ANYWHERE in that bent little head of yours, I want to hear it pretty damn quick or I'm going to take a large blunt object roughly the size of Elminster AND his hat, and stuff it lengthwise into a crevice of your being so seldom seen that even the denizens of the nine hells themselves wouldn't touch it with a twenty-foot rusty halberd!

This reminds me of the Altered Beast “RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE.” But because if the poor sound quality it sounded like Elmer Fudd saying “WISE FWOM YOR GWAVE”

" Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate."

- I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

"Given the choice, whether to rule a corrupt and failing empire; or to challenge the fates for another throw - a better throw - against one's destiny... what was a king to do? But does one even truly have a choice? One can only match, move by move, the machinations of fate... and thus defy the tyrannous stars."

- Legacy of Kain: Defiance

Trails of Cold Steel has some good quotes in it...

Alisa: I want to shut off my brain so badly right now, but it doesn't look like that's happening any time soon.

Beryl (head of the Occult Studies club): Sometimes, it's good to be disturbed.

Rean: Staring at stickers on a rooftop? I guess everybody needs a hobby...

Gaius: I've got a bad feeling about this. (I swear, every JRPG has this line somewhere!)

Instructor Sara just outside of town: I wander out here every now and then to lay into the wildlife. A gal's gotta stay in shape somehow, y'know.

Crow: Arrrgh... Stop feeling up Lady Luck, would you...?

Rean: Looks like we'll have to engage in some thoughtful smashing in order to make our way through here.

After repeating the same basic mission text to explore the old schoolhouse five times...
Does anyone in Class 7 actually read these? If I wrote whatever I wanted here, would they investigate the old schoolhouse regardless? Perhaps I should use this opportunity to tell a joke. I know just the one! Two men walk into a bar...

Instructor Sara when making up team names: Emma's team will be Team Class President. Machias, your team is Team Vice President. Rean's team will be... Team Whatever.

Mint, after getting rejected from the cooking club: He gave me a big speech about how 'water isn't normally flammable'...

Mint's father after eating Mint's cooking: When I heard you were gonna cook for me, I made my peace with Aidios and braced for death, but you did good.

Millium after making cookies: These ones've got hot chili peppers in 'em! Wanna try one?

Female Student, trying to get you to play a game like whack-a-mole but with dolls: You got problems? Hitting adorable things is the answer!
