Final Fantasy XIV is not only a successful online role-playing game, it is also the backdrop for a heartwarming TV series called “Daddy of Light” from Japan. No wonder the series in turn serves as the backdrop for the latest TV commercials for FF 14.
Final Fantasy 14 is one of the few online role-playing games that can successfully hold its ground in the subscription MMORPG market alongside the big boss World of Warcraft, and the game is particularly successful in Japan. Therefore, there is in the Land of the Rising Sun a TV series called “Daddy of Light” about a father and his son who come closer through Final Fantasy 14.
Now the circle is complete, and Square Enix is using the series in new commercials to promote Final Fantasy 14.
Final Fantasy 14 – Daddy of Light – Cheesy but heartfelt
The TV series Daddy of Light is about a son and his 60-year-old father. Both find each other in Final Fantasy 14. In the game, the father and son can grow closer and build a deep connection.
The series is already available in Japan and is set to be released worldwide on the video streaming service Netflix this fall. By the way, the series is based on the true experiences of a blogger.
The success of the series is convenient for the FF-14 developers at Square Enix. Therefore, the two latest commercials for the online role-playing game were also filmed against the backdrop of the series.
In the video, you will see the father-son duo first in everyday life and later as heroes in the online role-playing game. Unfortunately, the videos are only available in Japanese.
