Got the the idea from another tread and figured why not try making a post for once in my life. So ya, my example for this would be ffx when your deep into the game and you talk to a certain lady The setup to this, Auron secret revealed and the upcoming fight is amazing and really gets you pump.


Also a whole scene or a certain moment works too for this.

Always, always, always said this was the best speech in a video game. Excellent choice.

I don't really have favorite favorite speech, but... MGS2, Solidus talking to Raiden before he appeared in front of him at the end of game.

Solidus : Jack, I've been watching how you fight. It looks like you've
remembered the way you used to kill in the old days! Or is it one
of the S3 Plan's proud achievements?

Raiden : What are you talking about!?

Solidus : It came as a complete surprise when Ocelot discovered the S3 data
from GW. Not a bad idea, though -- using fire to fight fire,
creating the perfect assassin to retire Solid Snake's brother.

S3 stands for Solid Snake Simulation... It's a development
program to artificially reproduce Solid Snake, the perfect
warrior. The result is a FOXHOUND commando. When FOXHOUND no
longer exists, a simulated Solid Snake shaped by VR regimen.
Sound like someone you know, Jack?

I'm sorry to see you reduced to one of the Patriots' puppets. But
I've made use of you and their plan, too. Solid Snake's sudden
appearance, your arrival -- it was obvious the Patriots were
among my ranks. I had to smoke out the agent before the mission
entered the final phase. You came in handy as bait.

Jack, those days during the civil war were as real as they
come... Every day was absolute, split between life and death. You
ran from it, and now, you've been lead back to war by something
less than real.

I have this speech burned into my mind since 2007

Rants about Lemons, Cave Johnson had a lot of great lines.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

"Everything that lives is designed to end. We are perpetually trapped in a never-ending spiral of life and death. Is this a curse? Or some kind of punishment? I often think about the god who blessed us with this cryptic puzzle... and wonder if we'll ever get the chance to kill him."


It's almost impossible to start a game with a better quote. You have the full game summed up in this quote and also

THE ENDING

Whatever pseudo-religious bullshit Neil Druckmann will punish us with can't even scratch the genius this is.

Do trailer speeches count? These don't show up in game but these trailers always stayed with me for some reason

Spoiler: FFX

Clung on on in the afterlife for over 10 years to avenge his two best friends, then watched over their children by riding Sin between worlds until they were adults and eventually united them. Then guided them across the world whilst concealing the truth of their journey and then let them choose between facing the truth or living a lie.

Then all of that rounded of with that speech.

They don't make characters like Auron anymore, I tell ya.

 

[GymWolf]

both kz introductions with visari were pretty fire

 

[PauloRoberto]

imho, "dont be sorry, be better" is the best possible answer. simple, direct and can and should be applied in a lot of aspects on the real world.

Dude, here get it. If you didn't like Auron before this, ( I'd be surprised if you didn't) you'd definitely be buying his story after that reveal.

Also agreed with the fact that no other character in ff has given me those feelings since X. And I don't count MMOs(14). Although balthier in 12 came close.

Ryan's intro in Bioshock and Visari's literal speech from Killzone are great (I'll fight for that man!). But others already linked them.

Goodbye Deponia got a crackin' speech where the protagonist disguised as the antagonist delivers a rousing speech about asses.
Don't watch the clip, play the series and enjoy the greatest love story in gaming (there's not much competition).



The Exterminatus of Typhon Primaris speech from Dawn of War 2. The cutscene includes two speeches, the sentence and Gabriel's elegy.

"I have a dream. That one day every person in this nation will control their own destiny. A nation of the truly free, dammit. A nation of action, not words, ruled by strength, not committee! Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think - to act - for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24-hour Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! Fuck American pride! Fuck the media! FUCK ALL OF IT! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to live as they see fit, they'll make America great again!... In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars!"

When just hearing digitized speech in a video game was an amazing feat in itself. The game might be horrible, but the voices probably take half of the cartridge's memory XD
