Are you ready?
When I was a boy, my father showed me a card trick.
The card you chose was the eight of diamonds, right?
What? This is amazing!
How did you do that? Show me again!
What? Again?
-There. -Wow! Awesome!
Every time he did it, he got it right.
I looked up to my father. I thought he was a brilliant magician.
How do you do it?
Teach me how to do it, Dad! Please!
Well, I guess so.
Just for you, though.
But, when he told me the secret,
it wasn't that special at all.
I'll never forget the sense of disappointment I felt.
Some secrets should remain secrets forever.
I never should have asked him to reveal the secret to the trick.
YOU CAN'T USE IT IN YOUR CURRENT STATE.
Twintania is just too darn tough.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RETURN TO THE START OF BINDING COIL OF BAHAMUT TURN 5?
Maidy.
What is it?
When we defeat Twintania,
are you really going to reveal your identity to Indy?
That's what this plan was all about. So, yes, I will reveal myself.
Indy is really enjoying this world.
Don't you think it would be better
if we just stay friends the way we are now?
Of course, it's up to you, Maidy.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.
It's all right. Thank you.
I'll admit...
they are probably right.
Dad...
do you want to know the secret
behind this trick?
EPISODE 7 THE LIGHT WARRIOR
Twintania is way more powerful than anything we've faced before.
If the character that is supposed to draw his attention is killed,
Twintania goes wild and wipes us out instantly.
If the healer is killed,
we can't heal in time, and we all die quickly.
If the attacker is killed,
we run out of time because we can't do enough damage.
We get wiped out that way too.
Not again...
If one of us makes even a single mistake, we die instantly.
Therefore, we should cooperate
as if we are playing Double Dutch.
To be honest, had it not been for you, Mr. Inaba,
I would have quit the company.
I see, the uniforms were quite ugly.
That's true,
but I've had a lot of fun too
since you're at the office.
Really? Is that right?
So...
what are you doing this Sunday?
This Sunday?
I'll probably be busy all day.
I see. Then, what about next week?
Next week?
I'm not sure, but I'll probably still be busy.
I see.
We'd better get going.
You sure are clueless, Mr. Inaba.
About what?
INABA
It's been two weeks since we started battling Twintania.
I'm sorry I made a mistake.
-Don't worry about it. -No big deal!
I want to know what you had for dinner, Kirin.
Mango ice cream!
I can hardly call that dinner.
I'm getting a bad feeling.
They don't seem motivated anymore, and are making more mistakes.
"Don't worry. It's no big deal."
Someday, we'll even stop saying those things to each other.
After all, this is Twintania, the most powerful enemy in Eorzea.
An enemy that has destroyed countless friendships and bonds of trust.
But, I started this plan
because I wanted to know
what my father is really like and what he is thinking.
At the very least, I could speak frankly to him in here.
Being able to do so is a success.
I think maybe we can end this now.
Actually...
I know it's sudden, but I'll be going to the hospital this Friday.
-What? -But that is in three days.
I. Jones: If possible, I would like us to defeat Twintania by then.
Dad.
Of course, I plan on coming back alive.
But, there is a chance that I might not be able to return.
I don't want to have any regrets.
So...
I'll do my best for the remaining two days.
Okay!
Listen to me, everyone.
Let's all work together to defeat our archrival, Twintania, by Friday.
Telling ourselves that we'll win someday
and we can always start over
will never help us defeating Twintania.
We needed to be determined to win at all costs.
If we can't conquer it by this Friday,
we'll forfeit this battle forever.
In other words, we will accept defeat.
Let's win this for Indy!
Right!
You're right. Let's do this!
Yes!
Let's put our strength together and make a miracle happen!
S. Chains: We can't afford to lose!
M. Cain: We can do this! We'll win!
C. Winslet: We'll win if we do our job!
M. Cain: Let's battle our hearts out!
Okay. Goodbye.
-Goodbye. -Goodbye.
-Mr. Inaba! -Goodbye.
-Bye.
What? He's leaving early.
We have only one day left.
-Goodbye. -Goodbye.
Mr. Inaba, what are you doing after this?
Twintania!
Twintania?
Flash!
Get him!
STRAIGHT SHOT
TWINTANIA
Yes!
We did it!
Did something happen?
No! Nothing at all!
Nothing at all.
We won!
Yes, I have to tell him.
Dad.
I know we were never very close as father and son.
But, guess what.
For the past few months,
you and I played like we did back then. We laughed, we cried,
and we went on adventures together.
Congratulations.
Dad!
Thank you.
Aru and Kirin.
-Pardon? -What?
He totally ignored that.
What?
Hold on here.
Hey, everyone! Listen up!
Did you enjoy Eorzea, Dad?
Dad?
You mean...
your father is here in this world?
Then let's go and meet him.
Hey!
Get a clue!
Thank you for all you have done.
I look forward to playing with you,
Mayday!
That's right!
It's "Maidy," you know.
I am indebted to Mayday
for everything.
"Dad"?
"Dad..."
Mr. Inaba, are you free this Sunday?
Yes, I don't have a plan for this Sunday anymore.
Really?
Actually, there is a movie that I want to see.
This is it.
THAT DAY AT SEASIDE STARRING SUN-HEE LEE AND YANG-HYO KIM
I really don't like this kind of movies.
That's right!
Ms. Kondo and Ms. Nishikawa might like this kind of movie.
Why not invite them?
Sorry.
He is totally clueless.
Attention, everyone! Listen up!
Starting today, we have a new member in our department.
Come on in!
Morning.
As you can see, it's Hakamada.
Due to certain circumstances, he has returned from New York.
I'm sure all of you know him,
so carry on with your work. That's it!
Morning.
Hey, Fumi! Yes!
What the heck happened?
What?
I took a page from Kosaku Shima, and hit on a beautiful white girl.
But she happened to be the daughter of the New York office president.
But I haven't given up!
When Kosaku Shima was a manager, he also got a raw deal.
I'll work hard too!
I'll do my best, Kosaku!
Mr. Inaba, it's time.
Dear...
I'll be fine. Don't you worry.
My illness isn't a tough enemy at all.
I'll knock him out fast
and go back home.
Let's go.
Dad...
might be the real Warrior of Light.
That's what I think.
ONE YEAR LATER
Akio?
Yes?
Do you have any laundry?
No, I don't.
I see.
Mom.
I know it's tough, but cheer up.
Dad would be sad
if he saw you looking like that.
You're right.
I have to pull myself together.
What is it, Mom?
Akio, can I ask you a question?
Sure.
Akio, your mother is downstairs weeping.
She's been crying pretty hard. Is something wrong?
One of the Korean TV stars she loves got engaged recently.
She's really depressed about it.
A Korean star? She's crying over that?
I'm not sure how to feel about that.
That's right. One other thing. I have a favor to ask you.
What is it?
Can you teach me how a tank should fight?
Sure,
but why don't you ask your friends in the game?
Well, you see, I want to surprise everyone
when they see that I already know how.
Okay.
Okay! Good!
Go!
What's wrong with you? You're terrible at playing a tank.
You want me to teach you?
Quit trying to brag.
You're horrible! Give me that!
Dad of Light Project!
This is my project to invite my father
into the Final Fantasy XIV world, a place that I love,
and go on spectacular adventures with him while concealing my true identity.
It's my way of showing my father that I care for him!
