- Arriving on netflix, Square Enix's odd new TV drama Final Fantasy XIV 'dad of light' has had mixed online reviews from fans. After just 1 episode in I'm going to jump the gun and give my first impressions of this rather odd new series. Cringe or oddly masterful? If your reading this description before watching this video, can you guess which I think it is? :D ;)

Had no idea it was based on a true story. How precious
M. Gustafsson wait, what!?
@@Mr_Movie_Fan Yes it was based on a player's blog. You see Maidy in the credit, he/she blogged his/her experience with her dad and it caught the producer's eye hence the show was made
Dude I talked trash about the idea of this show. After first episode I got hoooooooooked.
I finished the first season yesterday and it is such a wonderful drama! It was a nice change from the many other dramas I've seen.
Ann speaking of dramas there is an almost universally applicable quote that sums up the essential message of dramas that portray the interaction of people's feelings. Although it mostly applies to more serious personal relations between friends than the more lighthearted humor of this one. So the next time you watch a drama think how hard it is for friends to uphold the following utopian ideal in light of all the lying, cheating, jealousy, mean competition. Even though the lying, cheating, jealousy and competitive fighting is what sells dramas in the first place and makes them so juicy and tense to watch. Anyway the quote is:
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real friendship amounts to, letting a person be and feel what they really want to.
Nasir Risan thanks for telling me this :) your knowledge is extensive!
Final Fantasy: Fill my dark soul with light, Daddy!
Chaotic Heretic are you a dark Knight main? Just asking.......
Nah. I don't play MMOs.
It's a Devil May Cry reference.
That's a fanfiction love novel waiting to be written ... Please don't write it though.
That was Final Fantasy III at the start. Not the first Final Fantasy! 😊
I mean, "Final Fantasia". Haha
You know with farenheit numbers get tricky suddenly you wake up and I means one, IV means two and VI means 3, then the evil numbers (4, 5 & 6) is only told as cautionary tales keeping children from traveling abroad filling their fragile lil skulls with sinful knowledge
I've watched all episodes and thought it was a cute show, and I've never even played 14. And regarding the acting, a lot of Japanese tv shows have that quirky, over-exaggerated style to them. Or at least from what I could tell anyway.
Yeah, it is very much a different culture in TV acting in Japan, much more exaggerated and extreme. I kinda dig it a lot, it feels a lot less stupidly ‘pretending this is real’ than most Hollywood shows.
It was worth watching even just for the soundtrack of Eorzea. Good simple story as well :)
I just started it today too and it's really cute. They really manage to have all these fun plots that intertwine between real life and in game and it's fun to see how they just make the connections work.
Sure it's over the top and ridiculous too, but that is part of the charm.
I find it funny how they have the whole free company gather in the FC for all these conversations that would have honestly taken place over FC chat or a linkshell xD but it is adorable.
This show was a little cheesy but hit me in the feels, not going to lie. It also led me to a great Japanese show, Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories, which is probably one of the BEST TV shows I've ever seen, anywhere (100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). I highly recommend checking that out.
Watched the whole series. 8/10 would watch S2.
you will cry like me in the end...
Hey Pez whats the tune in the bg? I know it and love it but cannot place the name.
"Idyllshire"
Not sure if that's the name of the song, but it's the song that plays in the area of Idyllshire in FFXIV.
Loved it, missed the announcement and was just super happy when I stumbled upon it on Netflix. Acting seems like normal japanese tv show acting from what I have seen so far. Perhaps even demure comparing this to something like Hana Kimi or Gokusen. A bit similar in style to Hotaru no hikari and Sore wa totsuzen arashi no you ni. Happy you liked it too mr Pez. Compared to the other things, isn't this a wonderful way to celebrate the 30 years of FF?
My father loves gaming too and it's really awesome. My sister and I always try to find him a game he likes for his birthday and such. Even though he likes shooters best and we RPG we can still connect on just loving gaming for fun and relaxation and also play together sometimes. I will definitely watch this series 👍
I really enjoyed this drama it was lighthearted and refreshing after watching a dark show or so
i can relate i and my son used to play final fantasy 10 on the ps2 together since he was about 3 years old and disgaea aswell that was his first introduction to rpg games at a young age i even taught him how to read using final fantasy 10 as it had subtitles in the game , i used the games as a learning forum for him and did he learn fast.
Actually my first game I played was FFVII. I had no idea what to expect. Nothing really traumatic, but I did go through some surgery and I was expected to move, which meant I was gonna miss a lot of my friends. At the same time, I was going through the part where Aeris was kidnapped and sector 7 was destroyed. I mean I was looking for something to cheer me up, usually the game is for that but then I see her story and what she went and I'm here thinking "Damn it didn't have to be that serious! Wait, why am I tearing? Wait I can't be cry-She's just a fictional game character! All she wanted was for you to buy her flowers! That's ALL she wanted!" Seriously it did get me to realize that nobody suffers alone. Just because you're in painful state, doesn't mean no one else can relate to that. I seek out other people and hear them out. Other experiences have led me to this of course, but learning about a story like the one in FFVII is one of those experiences I may take to heart.
... And that's why I like, Final Fantasy, I guess?
Well, from a guy who watches a lot of KDramas and also some Japanese Dramas, this one is quite standar actually. It has its good moments and it doesn´t take itsefl too seriously...wich makes it even better in itself. Regarding the acting, its actually good for the type of drama, I mean, when you have seen a lot of japanese dramas, you get the troupes of every drama rather easilly. This one falls for quite some, but overall is a good show. I liked how they worked some Final Fantasy music into the scenes, unless you put a lot of attention, you probably won´t notice it easily...but it´s there...just to name an example without spoilers, in one dramatic scene you can listen to the theme of Cornelia and, seriouslly, if you don´t put attention, you won´t recognize it, it´s made in a way that it´s so subtle that until almost when the scene is over you can get that is the Cornelia theme and the most impressive thing is that the theme works for the scene. Overall it´s not a masterpiece but its very enjoyable. They missed a lot of opportunities with some characters but its good anyway.
I don't have a tv in my room so haven't had a chance to watch. I read the novel(closer to the actual work) and I nearly teared up. Just beautiful I tell you.
I had the same reaction, Pez! I went into it thinking it would be lame, but it totally got me in the feels!
Ultima Whitewind says you should get back into 14! I wanna have fun livestream adventures again. More organised adventures would be nice too.
So, is it like a live action SAO spinoff, ff style?
Where the new videos at bro?
I watched the whole season in a couple days and I would have watched them all at once if I had power at my house xD I loved it!
LOVED that intro music Pez! Also "DADDY" of Light. --- As it's soooooooooo homoerotic from a typical western perspective... it's like you're waiting for them to get it over with and bang already. HAHAHAHAHAHA. It's really good though. I dig it. I would love more of this. Never enough FF... IMO
This is so relatable.
Good to hear that it's a fun show! I'll have to check it out. I'm just worried it'll make me want to play FFXIV. And I didn't realize how much I love the DNWP intro music until it's not there!
Great mini show. Very relatable and heartwarming
I get a lot of New Empire ad lately 😵
Maaaan I really disliked the first episode of Dad of Light. I thought it was super cheesy and had a level of cringe that was equal to none. What I did appreciate, which I think a non-FFXIV player would miss, were the jokes pertaining to the game. For instance the Tree Sapling scene, like obviously you can exit the town, but don't take on the biggest creature you can see XD. That kept me going, I am now 3 episodes in and enjoying it much more.
oh this is so dad the scene where he finds out his dad isn'well and need a hospital this is so sad
I binge watched the entire show the other day and loved it
Ah yesss! Been waiting to this! I really enjoyed the series. Can't wait for further reviews.
the fact that exactly this game ffXIIIV exist and the idea behind are reasons that makes this serie special for me i had or actually have a complicated relationship with my father and like lot others problems in the past because of snes, n 64 .....my dad has quit work too. the serie makes me feel good and its heartwarming i can identify myself with the protagonists and its shows may more of the mentality of japanese families and theyr hard life but also there trust in technics. i wanna know what happens next so I don't watch the prewiew because of spoilers. serie is 👍👍👍so far and i wanna know what's up with his dad lg bb
I watched all 8 Episodes it's really good and it gets alot better :-)
Where do you find FFXV multiplayer pez and please friend me on ps4 gamer tag atmes
Totally love it. Only seen 2 episodes but is so damn good. Hoping they release on dvd ir something.
I'm loving it sooooo much!
It's very japanese and good, but I'm surprised so many people could tolerate the cringe and cheese. I suppose the penetration of japanese culture has been so deep in the west that we've become far more japanese than we were 20 years ago. We're richer for it.
I love that this was based on a true story.
Its soo good. i even cried sometimes
There are some heavy cringe moments with Akio later in the show but overall I love it. It kinda makes me want to try to play the game again, but I know the grind is just too much which I just I don't have time for unlike Akio's Dad of course!
RIP Maidy
It's great! I binged watched it and man the feels! It's so cheesy and awesome! I love cheese!
Pez are you getting paid to release this video?
nope
then i guess it must be really good. imma check it out thanks!
I watched the whole thing I thought it was amazing
I love it so much that i have watched season 1, 3 times since it was released :D
It’s more of a personal thing then anything else you either like or or not and I loved it tbh cheesy but good cheesy and based on a true story
Reminds me of Ben X with Archlord. Good movie. Need to watch this series.
As a frequently player of FFXIV (+3000 hours), I'll check it out. Everything about Final Fantasy XIV has my attention. In my opinion the best FF ever made!
i thought they bought final fantasy III at firste
RIP Ren Isuzu, who played the dad in this amazing show. He died a week or so ago. :(
Ren Osugi, thanks autocorrect
How about a followup on the review, for the whole season, for this awesome dad actor?
I watched the whole thing and it made me want to play 14 again :)
Nice thanks pez did not know about it util i saw it here I will watch it thanks again for the info
I actually like it so much. Good thing you tried to watch it!
Personally, I'm placing it under "oddly masterful." It is one of those shows where it does make you think "what the hell am I watching?" The strength of it, imo, is that it is a charming story at it's core. Say what you will about the son basically catfishing his dad, it is still a story that I can see happening IRL.
It also kind of helps that it is great advertisement for FF14 since making friends in an MMO is a selling point for a lot of people.
the moments when he's talking to his freinds online are lil odd beacause they made the ingame characters talk and stuff when he's just typing i wish they couldve just kept it as typeing because to me its cringy
I thought it was pretty great. They made the IRL stuff feel like in game quests too. It's definitely cheesy, but in a very charming way.
I thought the series was great. It's the first time I've watch a full season of something in years. I think you would have to be a ff14 fan to really get the most out of it. I'm crossing my fingers for a season 2
Won't lie, I sat down with many doubts in mind but I was definitely into it by the end of the first episode. Seems worth the watch if you love the FF feels. By no means the best show out there but Def worth it for fans.
I loved it. Made me think of my own relationship with my dad.
Holy crap I'm hooked!
I dismissed this show early on but who knows maybe I should give it a watch.
So far the plot is good only seen 2eps tho
Reminds me of that World of Warcraft episode of South Park😄
Ah I love this series dad of light is so good
It was surprisingly good 😊
The title will probably keep most people away from it.
Seriously? "Dad of Light", don't they have anyone to tell them that it sounds silly.
Pez tgs has some of the good stuff check it out now pls
i liked this show and it is hilarious when the dad plays the game.i will recommend this for fans!
As for the acting goes, many Japanese act like these character in everyday life, but a little toned down.
I really want to watch it but I don't have Netflix. Oh well. Sigh.
This was better than it had any right to be
Dillusional, people living in a bubble
News on dissidia NT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! New trailer go watch it NOW
when the drama left a better impression than 15
The shows great if your a ff14 player youll get all the little tones from the game all the episodes were fun to watch if your not a ff14 player you prolly wouldnt like the show imo
Wow pez awesome
Definitly cringy
Guys play as females all the time on ff online....duh
If it doesn't show a dark knight then it obviously is a garbage show Kappa
