OK I'm just going to say it ... awwww! But it's only coming out in Japan (for now). Awwww.

According to Model Press,Lewd Family [Uncut] the live-action show -- titled Final Fantasy 14: Daddy of Light (yes) -- will be premiering in Japan on TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System, that is) in April.

It's based on the real-life story of a son and his 60-something-year-old father who bonded over the MMO -- an experience the real-life player blogged about.

The seemingly weird title of the show actually derives its name from those posts, called "The Father of Light."

From translations of a summary posted on the blog, the show will apparently tell the story of the father and son who manage to gradually overcome their communication issues through the game. Wanting to take advantage of its referral bonus, the son introduces his father to the game, helping him create a character and eventually joining in on quests together.

What a good sport, that pop.

The last time my father and I bonded over a video game it was Wii Sportsand short-lived. Surely this new show will have gamers recalling all sorts of lovely memories from similar father-child relationships that many of us gamers who are totally accepted for our hobbies have experienced and no one will be jealous at all ever, nope.
