Oh my god, I didn't expect it to be this good because I've read some bad comments about it but actually it keeps me glued on the tv, the plot is soo nice and fresh, not so heavy but still make me want to watch it till the end, and yes, makes me cry too, it's so heartwarming and touching, a very beautiful family movie

This is for those of you who think that this is a FFXIV ad

Like the title, it might seem to be, which I will admit, it is, partially. For those who don't know, this movie is based on a mini-series, which is based on a blog, which, again, is a real story (confusing, I know). The author, wrote the blog, to share his story, about him sharing the game to his old father. It may seem like an ad, but it actually happened. Square Enix, the game devs, even lent special servers to the filmmakers. Sadly, the blog author died some years ago due to cancer. Let the good and bad comments be said, but I'm assuring you, this movie is totally worth it.

It's commercial movie to promote FF XIV

This can be seen as a different type of video game movie for fans such as World of Warcraft movie that really supports its players to feel yourself following the right mainstream or simply feel more lively and excited when they play the game. However It doesn't show much of story inside the game or the universe. Rather it has a storyline that the son successfully win a commercial project from a noodle company by telling story that the food meant more than just the food when it connected it between his father and himself which is followed that this movie another long commercial that FF XIV might have been and would be a tool that can connect relationship between generations or people in general "as you all have shared more or less of the similar experience of playing FF since old days in Japan regardless of your age, status or sex". For this purpose this should have follow the structure of Ready Player One, but again as it was made to promote FF XIV or the entire series it could not employee better VR world where it gives more solid reasons that your once workaholic but retired old school father or even the shy but gorgeous girl from your workplace find it agreeable place to participate in whatever relationship you wish it to be.
