Just fight about it, that's the best answer.
There are lots of stories in Final Fantasy XIV, and one such story is being adapted for a new live-action series in Japan. But it’s not just an in-game story. Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light (or Final Fantasy XIV: Hikari no Otousan if you prefer to be a bit more accurate) is about the relationship between a father and a son that develops both in and out of the game.

The story is based off of a series of blog posts written by a young man about bonding with his 60-year-old father while playing the game together; the show will include scenes both in the real world and in the game to weave a narrative. So it’s a story about the stories going on behind an MMORPG, the human dramas that unfold from shared experiences. Which is, let’s face it, pretty darn cool. The show premieres this April.
