Final Fantasy: Daddy Of Light A Real Thing, Coming To Netflix
In what might be Square Enix’s most unusual project title yet to cross to North America, Final Fantasy: Daddy of Light has been revealed as coming to Netflix stateside this fall. The show will air ahead of that in Japan, on MBS and TBS beginning April 20, and on Netflix Japan beginning April 20.
The show’s story follows the true story (originally chronicled in a blog) about a father and son, and the ways in which their relationship deepens as they play Final Fantasy XIV.
Perhaps the inexplicable choice of an English title for the project will make more sense once someone sees the series in full.
Check out the trailer below.
