And I did recognize the final cutscene where everyone praise you in my post that you replied to.
I know you recognized it, but it just didn't feel like you gave it enough credit.

It's true, the other characters talk a lot while you remain silent, yes. But it really doesn't make me feel any less important. In my opinion, it's kind of like the other characters are narrating your story. When they have something to say, it's usually about how there's a threat and only you can defeat it, or you're the threat standing between them and world domination, or you're the one who will determine the fate of the world in one way or another. Silent though your character may be, the truth is, it's all about you you you. You are, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most important person in Eorzea. And the game wastes no effort making sure you understand that. I really don't see how the lack of dialogue makes this any less so. You're the silent protagonist. You don't have to talk the talk, because you walk the walk. You don't bark, you bite. As the hero, you really don't have to waste time with words, because your actions do the talking and are more than efficient.
