    A few from EW that I can remember off the top of my head (needless to say, major EW spoilers ahead):

    "Wheresoever there is suffering and despair, you appear! To fulfil your duty as defender of this Star!"

    Zenos, mocking the WoL's commitment to altuisim, in the worst circumstances possible.

    "I told you to 'remember us.' Yet, it was I who had forgotten! Urgh, you made a right-royal fool out of me Hermes!"

    Emet-Selch, in his final appearence in Ultima Thule, eating a big dose of humble pie thanks to the timey-wimey shennigans.

    "Someone needed more training with the spear."

    Estinien, in the Tower of Zot after defeating the second boss (Sanduruva).

    "That was not at all what technology was meant for!"

    G'raha Tia, in the Dead Ends, after defeating the second boss (Peacekeeper).

    "This is precisely why you should never skip your squat regimen."

    One of the dialogue choices the player can make to Alisaie after arriving in the Magna Glacies during the Forum's ill-fated evactuation through there - for context she'd just been beaten back by a Blasphemy (I admit, I chuckled there.).

    "Why Hermes?! Why could you not leave well enough alone? Will these answers assuage the pain you feel when a creation is returned to aether? Had you never cast your accursed question to the distant stars, you may have one day learned to be at peace on this one."

    Emet-Selch, (pre-Sundering) coming across as somewhat hypocritical given how he later acted as an Ascian.

    Some of the comments in Ktsis Hyperboriea (if using Duty Support) are also comedy gold:

    "Urgh, of course there is a cold zone. And of course, we're going to have to go through it!"

    Emet-selch, upon reaching the ice region of the dungeon.

    Hythlodaeus: "For all his flaws, you cannot fault his managerial prowress."
    Emet-selch: "Seriously?" You wish to discuss his candiacy now?!"

    A bit of banter about Hermes during the dungeon.

    Hythlodaeus: "Goodness me! What manner of thinking is behind this?"
    Venat: "There truly is no accounting for taste."

    Upon reaching the second boss (Ladon Lord, a two headed walking snake). And after defeating said boss:

    Venat: "A pass for constitution, but a fail for intelligence."
    Hythlodaeus: "If it's concept was submitted, I would be most certain to reject it."

    And Hythlodaeus had some absolute gems during the final battle with Hermes in that dungeon:

    (If he is unable to successfully land an attack): "Now now! It's rude to interrupt!"

    (When the Limit gauge is full): "What? Who, me? You.. cannot be serious.:"

    (I thought it was interesting that he actually complained about being given the chance to use the Limit Break - in any event Emet uses it.)

    But I think the scenes of the Sundering probably take the cake (and steal the entire bakery as well) - Venat-becoming-Hydaelyn in full self-righteous-anger mode is downright chilling.

    Bitter Ancient (to Venat): "You would destroy it? Our beautiful world?"
    Venat: "Lands that stretched on forever. Skies one could drown in. The heartbeat of nature. Silent, yet strong."
    Venat: "And admist it all a people. Beacons of light and life. Laughter that warmed my heart like naught else before."
    Venat: "They are my meaning and my purpose. My love."
    Venat: "In spite of... or perhaps because of this, I choose to believe."
    Venat: "In mankind's potential. In his ability to find a way forward."
    Venat: "So let there be no way back! From that temptation, I sunder us!"
    Venat: "No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise!"
    Venat: "Henceforth, he shall walk!"
    (Proceeds to sunder Etheirys into Hydaelyn's Source and the Shards)

    The scene after is even more chilling...

    Venat: "All is excrutiating pain. I breathe fire and torment."
    Venat: "I birth a world of suffering, to mire and plague."
    Venat: "In one fleeting moment, lives come and go. Ever moving towards the unknown."
    Venat: "And in that fleeting moment, they cry out for the answer to the question:"
    Venat: "Why, given life, are they meant to suffer. To die..."
    Venat: "As fragmented, imperfect beings, yours is a never-ending quest."
    Venat: "A quest to find your purpose, knowing your end is assured."
    Venat: "To find the strength to continue, when all strength has left you."
    Venat: "To find joy, even as darkness descends."
    Venat: "And admist deepest despair, light everlasting."

    Light is not soft indeed....


    I'll post more but I would have to go looking through my screenshots for them.

    I am having a lot of trouble trying to think of really memorable ones, let alone a favorite. Most will have flown over my head as I've only done the MSQ once. However, there is one. Just one.

    "Who treadeth now upon my bones and waketh me from slumber sweet?
    Thou hast forgotten the face of thy lord. Remember, mortal, and fear me"


    Someone pick me up. I have just fainted.

    Gods, that one still blows me away.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore

    'Herein I commit the chronicle of the traveler. Shepherd to the stars in the dark. Though the world be sundered and our souls set adrift, where you walk, my dearest friend, fate shall surely follow.'

    'Our song of hope, she dances on the wind, higher, oh higher!'

    'Freed from presumption and prejudice, I saw the world through a newborn's eyes. Everything fresh and so, so beautiful.'

    'In your darkest hour, in the blackest night... think of me, and I will be with you. Always.'

    'Reading the words that you penned in that shaky hand... we must have cried as much for you as we did for her.'

    'I swear, I could hear the glimmer in your eyes. And the adoration in your voice.'

    'What?! Then who in blazes let you on my moon?'

    'We are the stories we tell ourselves. The brave hero, the tortured soul, the altruist, the pragmatist. They will tell you who they see, but you and you alone know who you are.'

    'Though in the case of certain present company, "incorrigible" is an understatement. Honestly, I'm beginning to suspect that it's a requirement for every Azem.'

    'I tire of this charade. I've sins aplenty, aye, but regrets? Not so much.'

    'Would you be happier had I a 'good reason'? If my motives met with your approval, would you no longer resent the outcome? If so, then perhaps a beast's skin would suit you better.'

    'I'm quite incapable of destroying a confluence, I must confess.'

    'He'll be after your seat on the Forum next.'

    And the best for last:
    Archive Node: The report is locked by the author. Please state password.
    Alisaie: Well, go on then, your Highness. Tell the nice node the password.
    G'raha: The, uh... right! Let's see... 'Glory be to Allag!' 'Long live Emperor Xande!'
    Archive Node: Password incorrect. Please try again.
    G'raha: Confound it!
    Alisaie: Come now, passwords are invariably short and simple. For instance... 'Password!'
    Archive Node: The notion that the password could be something so inane would be laughable were it not dangerously stupid. Furthermore, your conduct in the presence of his Highness is grossly inappropriate. Know your place, handmaiden.
    Alisae: What did that thing just call me!?

    (i.e. why there needs to be an Allagan Node tribe questline)

    Not sure if it counts per-se, but going to put it out there anyway. The cinematic and lyrics of 'Footfalls' packs an emotional punch almost every time I see/hear it. I think, with this one in particular, it hits a little harder due to it being a sort of 'reflection' of the journey the game takes/took us on.

    Personally, the final segment always hits me pretty hard, particularly when put into context:

    Every step we take
    Echoes in our wake
    Winding 'round our fate
    To forge ahead
    Should we lose our way
    Tire of all this pain
    We won't be afraid
    To forge ahead

    Fearless hearts ablaze (When the world comes crumbling down)
    No more time to waste (Know I'll be there)
    No, it's not too late (Though our fleeting moment has gone)
    To forge ahead (You're not - you're not alone YEAH)
    As we ride again (As you turn your eyes to the stars)
    To another end (Oh, I'll be there)
    Where it all begins (With my chorus guiding you)
    Forge ahead (Forge ahead)
    ;-;

    I do love Urianger's brand of wit when he gets to show it.

    In a similar vein, from the Warring Triad quest "The Fate of Stars":
    KRILE
    There you are, you rotten idler! When Y'shtola realized we were struggling with the wards alone, she was absolutely livid!

    URIANGER
    Ah. Never mind the Warring Triad─I have awoken Archon Y'shtola's tempestuous wrath! In supplicant mood shall I return at once, and there atone for mine indolence!
