[eizarus]

Seems interesting so I'll give it a watch but wtf is with the title.

 

[E_Darkness]

It's already been 1st August.

 

[purseowner]

That title cracks me up every time.

 

[WonderzL]

[hydrophilic attack]

daddy pasta in 3.2.1

 

[ZorroMcNube]

[Kouriozan]

You made me check now but it's out in September

 

[AlexFlame116]

Oh good they fixed the title.

 

[Clegg]

Dads are tough

 

[LordOfLore]

Urgh, mods can you switch 1/8 to 1/9? Knew something was wrong when i posted but didn't spot it.

Edit: Thanks!

 

[neptunes]

YouTube trailer?

 

[Tyaren]

So they fixed the title to Dad of Light in English? Still sounds weird...but admittedly not nearly as weird as Daddy of Light.

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

Super excited to finally watch this.
I've loved the concept since I read a bit of the translated blog.

"Father of Light" seems to be the obvious choice here, but even on the second swing, they miss.

 

[meltingparappa]

Series is super cute and low key. Pretty good for the premise it sets up. Quality jokes and doesn't get too over the top.

Nice to recognize the prime minister from Shin Godzilla bonding with his son.

Pretty much.

 

[Stranger Things]

ff is meh

 

[Vital Tundra]

I mean they changed the title, but its still kinda not okay.

 

[Wonko_C]

Hikari no Otousan is the original title of the blog this story is based on. So Dad/Daddy/Father of Light is correct.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Should've kept it daddy

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Not to be confused with World of Warcraft: Twink of the Abyss.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

 

[TetraGenesis]

What is even happening here? I'm so lost, hahaha.

 

[LongDongJunon]

W..ha did... did that high five turn into a palm bump?

 

[Ydelnae]

Will watch if the Japanese is not too hard to follow.

 

[Syf]

Damn shame. I would've binged Daddy of Light just to say I did. Dad doesn't have the same ring.

 

[Servbot24]

That's one of the most hilarious game titles I've ever heard 😂

Dad of Light is funnier than Daddy because it sounds more serious and stoic, lol

 

[jooey]

are you guys really trying to push "father" as if a serial commercial for ff14 demands formality

 

[Shock32]

FFXIV really is dad

 

[oti]

Will watch if the Japanese is not too hard to follow.

whoatt

 

[Namegoes_Here]

I know the title is supposed to play off the FF14 Warrior of Light, but it just sounds weird.

 

[BTA]

Oh, cool to see that released globally. Wonder if it's actually any good though?

 

[Mechanized]

That image is ridiculous. That name is ridiculous

 

[Fury451]

 

[LordKano]

10/10

 

[True Fire]

They should've kept it as Daddy of Light. Right now it's still Engrishy, but not Engrishy enough to get people to click for fun.

 

[Sou Da]

Will watch if the Japanese is not too hard to follow.

Should have used Older!Gladiolus for this gif

 

[sixteen-bit]

lmaoooo

 

[Village]

hehehe

Should have used Older!Gladiolus for this gif

Older all the characters would have worked tbh

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Why they dropped the Daddy?

 

[Hexer06]

Love gifs like these! Lol. Might check this out after I finish my backlog of shows I gotta get through.

 

[Doosi]

WHY COULDNT THEY CALL IT FATHER OF LIGHT

 

[YoRHa No.2 Type B]

This killed me.

I'm sorry for all who don't get it.

Spoiler

It's a Death Note reference.

 

[SafeinSound]

Why is square the fucking worst with naming shit?

 

[tootie923]

FFXIV 2: Dream Daddy Exodus Locali: Lionspoke Gnat et Bonbon

 

[DiipuSurotu]

I know the title is supposed to play off the FF14 Warrior of Light, but it just sounds weird.

"Father of Light" would have been a better word play (rhyme and number of syllables).

 

[EVA UNIT 01]

Yes

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

I had no idea this was even a thing.

Dad, daddy, father...So torn. First two sound stupidly ridiculous, and Father sounds just right. I can't choose.

 

[RedAssedApe]

could have been up there with worst show title with scrotal recall. don't like the name change lol

 

[jugann]

I've already seen the first 3 episodes in Japanese, and its great in my opinion! Show is filled with heart, albeit a bit episodic. Hope they don't change it around much, and that all seven episodes are fun to watch for most.
