“The Father of Light Project…”

That was what I called my plan to get my 60+ year old dad to play FFXIV and secretly befriend him in-game. We would adventure together before finally, when the time was right, I would reveal that I was in fact his own son.

Translators Note: This is a series of screencap blog entries about the author, Maidy, and his “Father of Light” plan. These entries were written from August 2014 to April 2016.

マイディーさんへ、これはファンとして翻訳だけです。ドラマ化はプロデューサーレーターLIVEで発表したから、マイディーさんのブログに気になりました。他のFF14ファンは多分読みたいなんですから、「光のお父さん」シリーズを翻訳します。連絡したいなら、『このページ』を使ってください。
