Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light

This live-action series just arrived on Netflix. Is it worth checking out?

>Years ago, Hirotaro Inaba purchased a Nintendo Famicom and Final Fantasy III for his son Akio. The two enjoyed playing the game together and the experience is a fond memory for them both, but they have since grown apart and barely speak to each other.

>Suddenly, Hirotaro quits his job without telling his family. Akio is concerned and decides to try to reconnect with his father by purchasing a PlayStation 4 and Final Fantasy XIV for him. With the help of his Free Company and friends, Aru and Kirin, Akio plans to use his character Maidy to befriend his father and discover why he quit his job.

FAINARU FANTAJI

>castlevania
>now this
vidyakino is real

>

Cease

>tfw no parents to play MMORPGs with

It's a dorama, they're all the fucking same.

I watched it all. It was anime as fuck in terms of plot(predictable in a sense) but the light-heart nature of the father was fantastic. It felt good seeing him happy. Akio was a little bit of an autist, though.

>This live-action series just arrived on Netflix. Is it worth checking out?
geez this sure doesn't sound like a fucking shill thread

Thread redeemed.

Couldn't possibly be worse than Kingsguard

>tfw dad used to play fighting games with me all the time
>got me into street fighter as a kid which led me to the fgc where I've made tons of friends
>never get to see him anymore thanks to work

>the moment you find out your son plays a girl character in a video game

I'd honestly feel like a failure.

No, delete this thread please.

>Making a shitty dorama netflix series to promote your games
Wew

It's kinda weird how the son plays a girl in the game. Does the father ever mention that?

No homo.

It's alright it's clearly aimed at koreans though so it probably won't be get too many favorable reviews from Sup Forums

There seems to be a weird marketing push to try and make XIV more popular by shoving it into different mediums. How bizarre.

The only weird thing is that they're getting brought out of japan, it's not at all odd over there for even niche series to have all sorts of merch and product placement

>clearly aimed at koreans
and I need sleep I meant japanese

The WWE one was the weirdest in my opinion
I didn't think WWE fans and MMO fans had much of an overlap

I assume they didn't and this is part of an outreach effort.

God damn it, Sup Forums.

One of the nigs loves FFXIV and always talks about it in interviews.

Isn't one of the wrestlers a massive fan of XIV? There were some videos of him giving yoshi a belt and acting like a fanboy at a con somewhere

Hah, was just about to make a dumb thread to try tobring this up.
Yeah, it's pretty sweet.

transnoteblog.wordpress.com/2017/03/08/the-father-of-light-table-of-contents-translation/

...

Everytime they show ingame cutscenes where they act out everything ingame I cringe really fucking hard.

Unless its the dad. He's fine

But its basically unwatchable for me.

Then he went up to his hotel room and fucked Paige, what a legend.

Would it have been better if he said "'Hey, Sup Forums, do you play video games with your parnets?", rather than outright saying he wants to talk about something?

>Dad of Light

lmao

What are you talking about. New Day's whole thing is they are weirdo non standard nerds that manage to become Tag Team Champs through luck and Pluck.
Fucking Xaiver woods shows up at my local Atlanta Battle and Brew to playing fighting games. Don't talk about things you don't understand.

I would have been better if he had just posted a picture of a trap with the text "I fucking hate niggers".
That would give him a thousand replies in under 3 minutes. The fucking state of Sup Forums.

Plus he runs the upupdowndown gaming channel.

>DBZ shirt
I'll never get why blacks are such weebs.

is this fucking real

DBZ is normie-core.

Why though
I like it.

It's apparently based on a real life blog about a son reconnecting with his dad.
sumimarudan.blog7.fc2.com/blog-entry-2019.html

Point to the part of the post where I talked about the wrestlers liking FFXIV.
It was a sponsored event by SE.

I was talking about the fans probably not liking FFXIV because they're wrestling fans and FFXIV is about cute cat girls and boys doing anime shit.

>this is your O1S clear party for this week
I'm glad I finally got my clear so I can start trying to clear O2S and beyond, but man am I glad I didn't look at logs until after it was over, this shit would have tilted me so hard. I was i323 here with mostly Tenacity and Crit melds, is 2.9k good as WAR?

>It was a sponsored event by SE.
No it wasn't. They've done this shit before.

Count your blessings. I wish my dad was still alive.

I'm two episodes in and Otou-san is already pretty based.

I'd say at least some of the audience would, you're stereotyping the audience. People can like different things, I like anime and wrestling.

it was also weird they had a deal with Domino's...

...no thats not really that weird given domino's history

Never ever

pure kino, but one thing bothered me
>supposed to be set in ARR
>monk won't stop using elixir field

delete this

Good.

I watched it and I really liked it, it made me tear up a bit.

Also FUCK my father died when I was 4 and my mother never showed any interest in my hobbies.

I would think so, but I think you should go full DH on the left side of gear

Tenacity is confirmed to be worthless, the stat order is DH > Crit > Det for left and all STR VI on right

What else? There's this and I recall a manga about a brother and sister being sucked into the world.

Man dominos used to have some really fucking cringy ads targeting "gamers", I remember one back when they could do still do the under 30 minutes or it's free thing and they had banners on tons of sites for runescape and WoW advertising they'd get it to you before raid time but put in the most fellow kids way possible

>wiping on ifrit normal at all

man if anything that was probably the shitty healer's fault

>blaming healers for wipes

toppu kekku friendo

youtube.com/watch?v=SfFucIuuw2I

this one is still my favorite

that's the only way I can see them even wiping to a fight that easy

unless they went in without one

>tfw my mom used to kick me off of the computer because it was time for Dynamis/Sea/Sky/HNM Windows

I saw Jeff Goldblum from the thumbnail.

>five seconds into the fight Ifrit turns clear around and one shots him
It's all their fault for trusting a Tank that was, a.) Female, and b.) Lalafell. That'll get you fucked over every time.

>instead of adding all these cool gear or emotes to the game by doing quests or content
>let's just make people buy them

fuck off.

>play healer
>get blamed for something
>start talking shit and pointing out every single small mistake of the person that blamed you until they get kicked
The true joy of being a healer is being a manipulative asshole

Probably because you already are one.

Reeaaal human beeeaan, and a renewal heroooo...

>blame healer
>don't make mistakes ever
>be top parse dps
>healer can't talk shit back
>b-b-b-b-but he sucks!!
>get the shitty healslut kicked and get a better slut

you deserved it

UUDD

Literally never happens or if it does the healer was still new hadn't embedded themselves deep enough into the tanks ass that they refused to be moved

>want to tank leveling
>adventurer in need: healer

>dad used to play FFXI with me
>spent every hour of free time on the game, more than I ever did
>did nothing but farm money autistically and soloed jobs to cap level in very inefficient ways
>rarely played with other people in a game where very little could be accomplished alone
>13 year old me told him he would get a lot more done if he partied up with people
>screamed "I HAVE A JOB" at me to justify his retarded way of playing

it was sad to find out my dad was stupid

>do daily hunts
>someone on a single mob
>go to the two mobs a bit ahead but clearly to see
>they are right next to each other
>kill first, get to second
>the other guy comes rushing in and tries to get credit for it
People are dumb and lazy.

Probably because the game has become unexpectedly popular and makes a shitton of cash. They're funneling some of that cash back into marketing to try to expand beyond the hardcore MMO crowd, something only WoW has previously managed to do.

>qt office girl spending the entire time trying to fuck the mc
>meanwhile the he's spending the whole time trying to fuck his dad

truly the greatest love triangle of our time

Why waste time on something you probably won't like? That's why reviews and things like that exist, we don't have time to watch/play everything.

>mt dies
>boss kills me and fuck my parse
Your only job is to not die to the 5s telegraphed buster

What's the name of the quest with Khloe's pink haired friend? I already did the Bear FATE.

>going to have to wait another 3 months after 3.1 to hopefully get something eastern themed,OC or something that isnt desert ala mhigo shit or fanservice garbage

>tfw the father was sick and dies at the end

That was fucking soul crushing.

THIS
THIS BOTHERED ME SO MUCH

>What's the name of the quest with Khloe's pink haired friend? I already did the Bear FATE.
What the fuck are you talking about?

...

>Playing FFXIV kills a fragile old man
Just like it's killing Yoshi

I was more interested in the background party members than that stupid potato couple.

Pretty sure that shit is exclusive to the crafting version of Wondrous Tails.

Stop being new.

Tell me when they get up to the Mistress of Tacos

Nips love wrestling

For japanese telenovela standards is pretty good imho

>Are you winning son?

>Stop being new.
No, seriously. I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

>everyone having fun on their rocket crotches in rr
>mine hasn't come in the mail yet

That's because you're new.
