The story makes it sound much better.
It actually sounds kinda sweet...
... Now I feel kinda bad assuming this was going to be some sort of jokey-silly thread. Mostly just because of the premise name: "Daddy of Light." Still, as Liadan said, the premise is actually kinda touching.
This actually sounds really interesting!
I'm kinda confused why the article refers to it both as "Daddy of Light" and "Father of Light". There's also this?

I hope "Father of Light" is the one they go with, because... yeah.
I thought this would be a late reference to the memes going around for the Stormblood teaser trailer. >..>
The show seems a little weird to me cause I'm used to tv shows never referencing a specific product like this (it would be "father and son bond over fictional mmo game"). Is being obvious about a product in a tv show normal in Japan? Or is this just a reallllly long ad for XIV?
Why couldn't it use the blog's english translation of Father of Light.
I can't get over Daddy because of fucking 10 year olds lol

It's pretty much how the daddy meme really went around. Ripped guys or... well. Yeah.
"I called my teacher Daddy."

Argh right in the daddy issues! I hope it's good, I love stories like this.
Quote:It is basically "the story of a father and son who have issues communicating. The son, who plays FFXIV and wants to get in on some friend referral bonuses, gets his 60-year-old father to join the game after receiving a PS4 from his wife as a birthday present. The son helps him create a character and eventually joins him on his adventure through the game, helping him out without revealing his true identity." according to the blog.
"I wonder if my dad could beat Titan (Hard) and stuff... I'm kinda excited..." ; ;
Neat! Looking forward to it. Would rather it be called 'Father of Light', though. As others have pointed out, daddy is a bit whimsical.
I thought this was a thread that had escaped the Void for a moment.
I don't have much to say about this kind of show except that I hope it doesn't spend too much time going into the in-game systems ("son teaches his dad how to use the duty finder" is probably not the best half hour of TV) or it really will just turn into a long commercial.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who read the title and assumed that this thread was going to be detailing something very different.
I do think it's a pretty neat concept - certain video-games are great for bonding over, MMO's especially.
I wish I knew japanese so that I could read the blog. The summary suggests that the son never told his father that he was actively helping him out. Create a character and account and wala. Then kept showing his dad around and helping him on the same server...??
