Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light

[Jinx]

smurf off, I'm still calling it Daddy of Light. The translators ruined the title when they changed it to Dad of Light. Also, I debated putting this in The Lounge, but this forum needs more love than The Lounge does.

Is anyone else watching this? It came to Netflix today. It's quite touching, but equally cringey. The Lalafell character sitting in main boy's catgirl lap solidified that for me. Also how they're putting the voices into the game is terrible, but also great. xD

I also really like that music from the game is getting love and seems to be used instead of an OST. It's possible this show might get FF fans who haven't played the game to watch, and they can appreciate it. I'm also sure we'll see an uptick in new players after this show.

Moments I'm looking forward to:
-Someone in the party calling Daddy trout because he's a BRD who isn't playing his songs
-Ragequitting for a week at Steps of Faith, Daddy goes on the official forums and calls for a nerf
-Daddy being oddly aroused by Aymeric
-Daddy mistaking Son's catgirl avatar for an actual woman and sending Son ERP tells
-Daddy trying his hand at crafting and bitching about undercutting
-Daddy bitching about someone pulling hunts early

We're heading over to Dougie's tonight, so I think we'll maybe twist his arm into watching this. Along with the Death Note movie.

Daddy is a great character. Son is a total pansy, but Daddy is a bro.

Also, two episodes in there's a Daddy Son masturbation joke, so this show is delivering what the people want.

[Jinx]

Son is hot, though. So is Suspenders Friend.

[Shauna]

This is great

[Jinx]

It's so bad.

"Mmm, play me a Foe's, Daddy."

[Shauna]

Great! But also bad.

[Jinx]

I really do love Daddy, though. Especially how he trout talks Son to Catgirl!Son. Go, Daddy, you gossipy bitch, you.

That opening scene my gosh. We must be the biggest FF nerds watching this. I have to admit the in-game scenes do look awkward. I only watched episode 1. Will start 2 tomorrow.

[Jinx]

Dat Matt and I were talking about this, but the most jarring thing to me is them using in-game music incorrectly. I don't mind when they use it in the real world settings, but it's jarring when they use one location's music at another location. I get why they do it; it's purely thematic of the scene at hand. But for people who play this game a lot, it will probably take you out of the scene a better.

[Depression Moon]

Oh man, you're nerdy at me getting particular about the correct usage of the game music and trout, but truth be told if I played this game beyond the beta I would probably be doing the same thing.

I literally just saw this on Netflix and thought "wait whaaaaaat".

This is the sort of thing we need to watch together in the next EoFF meet-up, guys!

In the first episode why did the son think he shouldn't name his character Inoue?

[Shauna]

I think - and don't quote me on this, I'm just guessing - that Inoue was his irl name, and it's not that he shouldn't it's that he could name himself something more exciting.
