Summary
Four years ago,Final Fantasy 14blogger Maidy passed away after a long battle with cancer.
He became an icon in the community through his blog “Hikari no Otosan” in which he introduced the game to his father to bring them closer together after having drifted apart.
He chose Final Fantasy 14 in particular because his dad introduced him to the series with Final Fantasy 3 on theNintendo Famicom, making their journey together in Eorzea a true, wholesome full-circle moment.
The blog was later turned into a TV series called “Dad of Light” which was then adapted into a movie called “Brave Father Online: Our Story Of Final Fantasy 14”.
His father passed away only six months ago, but Maidyand thus their storyhas now been immortalised in the game that brought the two back together.
The new Dawntrail expansion introduces an NPC bearing the likeness of Maidy inSolution Nine, sitting on a park bench.
It’s an especially fitting spot to find them in, but if you want to avoid spoilers, stop here.
Spoilers for Dawntrail.
Maidy Can Be Found In The Solution Nine Hub City
Those who die in Solution Nine are uploaded to what is essentially theFinal Fantasyequivalent of the cloud, living forever in an artificial afterlife.
Maidy is found here wearing a Regulator on their head which implies that they will live forever upon death, as this is the very tool that grants them access to the next life.
Fans havelong hopedthat Square Enix would honour Maidy and their story in the game, and Dawntrail finally answered their wishes.
They can’t be interacted with and don’t have a name, but they are unmistakenly an homage to the blogger whose story touched so many.
you’ve got the option to watch Dad of Light on Netflix, and Brave Father Online: Our Story Of Final Fantasy 14 on Crunchyroll.
