Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light Project's Real-Life Father Dies
posted on by Alex Mateo
Yamamoto had posted a Tweet on Monday requesting that people who love Dad of Light take a second to think of Indy. He then revealed the next day that he had sent out the message while mourning for Indy, who he says has "embarked on a new journey with Maidy." Although Yamamoto had not met the real-life father much, he was able to give a picture of Maidy to Indy following Maidy's death.
Maidy died in December 2020. Maidy had been fighting an illness. Maidy had posted on his blog in June 2020 that he was a cancer survivor, and mentioned on the blog that he was hospitalized.
The Final Fantasy XIV Dad of Light miniseries premiered in Japan in April 2017, and also streamed on Netflix. Netflix added the series in the United States in September 2017.
The film remake featured a different cast, and opened in Japan in June 2019.
