Persona 3 (endgame spoilers):

"Alright, let's do this." - Shinjiro during the final fight.

Trails in the Sky SC (Final Chapter spoilers):

"This soul of mine, which was saved by a sister, bound by a professor, freed by a father, and is now one with Estelle's... All I've learned as a Bracer, and the power given to me by Ouroboros... With all of it together, I challenge you, Bladelord!" - Joshua Astray, challenging Loewe on a one-on-one battle.

Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon:

"I am a prince before I am a son or a brother." - Marth, at the end of Chapter 17.

EDIT: Trails of Cold Steel (chapter 4 spoilers):

"Save it. Look, we can keep this stalemate going all day, or you can release them. It's up to you. But I'm warning you... If there's so much as a scratch on either of them, you'll WISH the police found you before I did." - Rean Schwarzer, before fighting Chapter 4's boss.
 
Maaaaaan I have so many! No other entertainment medium brings out the hype feels like video games. I'll just use one of my all time fav games for this though.

Devil May Cry 1.

Mundus - "Again I must face a Sparda... strange fate, isn't it?

Dante - "Strange and ironic that it will end the same way."


Chills. Every time.

Mundus - "The gate has been opened. Dante, you're not getting away. This is where you will die."

Dante - "I'm not going anywhere. Besides, there's no place to go. Look around! This will be your burial ground as well."


The entire sequence when the cutscene hits and you finish Mundus with the jackpot had me like

 
I loved Putress's little speech in Wrath of the Lich King:
Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven? Behold, now, the terrible vengeance of the Forsaken! Death to the Scourge! And death to the living!
 
I didn't like BO2 and don't even recommend it when talking about the LoK games, but even it had some good parts. Umah's last part stands out.
Yeah it wasn't as good as the rest of the series. But to me it's important for new comers to the series to play it last, because the Hylden are defeated on this entry and it sets the stage for Kain's empire in SR. But I always warn people that it's quite different from the rest.
 
"Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!"

- Auron from Final Fantasy X.
The more and more I think about it.. i think this might be my all time favorite hype line in video game history.
 
"Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a-bitch machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?"

"Send me out... With a bang."

Both by SgtMaj Avery Johnson
 
Ugh it's been so long, but there is a character that says "get fucked" in a really cool way when you kill things in Killer 7.

Akuma or Oni saying "messastsu" when they do a raging demon

Any noise that comes out of Japanese voice Necalli's mouth

Oh and Karin saying "Be on your guard!" when she pops V-Trigger
 
I don't know if it was even in the final game, but from the 2003 Halo 2 gameplay trailer at the very end

Cortana: Bet you can't stick it

Chief: You're on

oh shit oh shit oh shit. I need to play this game now

From Max Payne 2:

"I felt compelled to give Vlad his gun back... ONE BULLET AT A TIME."

haha yes!

This is so fucking hype you don't even know.

this game has so many moments like this

mine would still be this one

Ok, think Asgore intro is even better because its two hype dialogues:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqypnw6gQNg

(a strange light fills the room, twighligh is shinning through the barrier, its seems your journey is finally over you are filled with... DETERMINATION)


Asgore: Human... it was nice to meet you. Goodbye. *shaters mercy option*

Holy shit I got goosebumps just watching that
 
Also from Deadly Premonition during a specific boss fight so I'll put the quotes in spoilers.

All from York to
George.....................................................

"Ah George I agree you were a fool. And you are a fool. Even Now."

"George, no Olympics for you. You'll fail the doping test."

"You've got that all wrong George. That's the mark of child abuse."

That last one isn't so much hype as it is the protagonist seeing things clearly while the antagonist is all gone now mentally.
 
"Your blade... It did not cut deep enough." -Egil, Xenoblade Chronicles

It's first heard in a flashforward like an hour or two in to the game. I remember looking forward to the scene where this would be said for dozens of hours, so finally getting to that scene got me really pumped.

Oh cool. The scene is also uploaded on YouTube, if someone doesn't remember it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYmlcJi5ZfE
 
I think it was the last Seymour fight in FFX. The first two lines are paraphrased.

Seymour: ...and now, nothing can stop me.
Tidus: We can!
Seymour: By all means... TRY.

It was the way he said it, you had to be there. His voice progressively got more intense and processed as the conversation went on to the point where he was kinda yelling. I dunno, for some reason I've always remembered that line. I really disliked Seymour's English VA, he was so tinny and wimpy compared to the Japanese version, he reminded me of Winnie the Pooh. That was one of the only lines where I thought he sounded "like a boss."
 
Anything from Terry Bogard. "Are you okay? BUSTAH WOLF!" "Kick back!" "Come on come on!"

Ult quotes from Overwatch are hype, my favorites being "HAMMER DOWN!", "Oh let's break it down!", and "Ryūjin no ken o kurae!"
 
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Prologue - "This boy, who traveled through time to save the land, was known as the Hero of Time."

KH Birth by Sleep - Ventus: "My friends are my power, and I'm theirs."

FFX - *MASSIVE BOSS SPOILER* Tidus:
"I promise this will be quick. Hit me with all you got, dad."

Crisis Core: FFVII - *Ending Spoiler* Zack:
"And... whatever happens, protect your honour... AS SOLDIER. COME AND GET IT."
Another one from Crisis Core would be
"Hey, would say... I became a hero?" Yes, Zack. Yes you did.

Pokemon Gold/Silver - *Final Boss Spoiler*
Red: "..."

That's all I could think of. They're all from RPGs and usually before the final boss.

Kingdom Hearts II: "I'm so FLAAATERRRED" *cue music*

Yes! Can't believe I forgot this one.
 
"I said my sword was a tool of justice. Not used in anger. Not used for vengeance. But now... Now I'm not so sure. And besides, this isn't my sword." - Raiden, Metal Gear Rising
I kinda saw that line coming because that's the kind of game MGR is, but holy fuck it still felt good to hear him say it.
