    it's so good, you need to watch it and prepare some tissues as well

    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.
