Maidyyyyy!
Thank you for this video!
I actually started playing because of the show. It pains me to find out that Maidy has passed on.
Good video but a spoiler warning for the intro would have been nice. (The hyda thing)
Is there a maidy npc now?
There’s many reasons we can lose people. Positive or negative reasons. But so long as we keep their memory, they will carry on.
Honestly, that’s something I’ve learned from this game. Those lost carry on beyond through the Echo, through our memories.
I have always loved Dad of Light because it always reminded me of when I started playing. Someone saw me struggling and helped me sort things out, and before I knew it, my family had grown.
Thank you for bringing us this video!!
May you forever walk in the Light of the Crystal, Maidy!! ❤
I remember this series, it was so good.I had no idea it was based on a true story…. sad that he left this world sooner then he should have. he would have loved endwalker…. may he rest in peace.
ya crazy…thx 4 the vid it was well done 👏
FFXIV, and its people, hurt me so beautifully and sorrowfully.
Yup, that hit me right in the feels. Great video never knew about Maidy but have scene the dad and son video of them bonding through ffxiv
I felt sad knowing he never got to complete endwalker
T^T
On Etheirys.
That is cool
old med beds can also fix anything too in tampa florida
I had no idea about any of this and it still brought me to tears. Guess I have some catching up to do…
well very soon this world will split in two and well see our love ones on the other side very very soon the portal is almost close soo we too will be crossing over to the realms of heaven
I like to think every time we fly with our Nouliths he's giving us just a little push. Shadowbringers helped me with the sudden passing of my father. And he helped other get into this lovely game means we owe him a bit. As a fellow Gundam fan I know his soul is no longer bound by Earth's gravity.
I didn't expect to cry tonight, but here I am
Wait… Im confused, maidy is a real person?
I started playing in '12, shortly after 2.0 dropped. Or it was '13? I dunno its been too long
In late '15 ir early '16 I quit because of some drama. Got sick not long after Dad of Light dropped. I watched it while laying with a fever in my bean bag chair. A few weeks earlier someone had gifted me Stormblood that they got from some promotion?
Dad of Light is why I've been playing ever since I got sick in '17
He did log in into FFXIV after his discharge from the hospital and his last days. you can find the videos online. It was his last time logging into FFXIV saying goodbye to other players who gathered to wish him goodbye.
It was a couple of videos posted by a channel called Game Factory
I didn't know that Maidy was a real player until now. This…This is why I play FFXIV. For people like him, for stories like this. And when I started, I met so many people who were like Maidy. Kind and generous, and carrying on his spirit. I hope that wherever he is, he's not only building Gundam kits, but having just as grand of an adventure as he had in Eorzea, and the land of the living. Rest in peace, Maidy, and may you ever walk in the light of the crystal
He would have loved Endwalker… Rest in peace, Maidy.
I've been watching ffxiv why only just now you've been reçomended 🙁 I got chills watching the video ❤️❤️❤️
Having come in super late to FFXIV, i honestly had no clue about any of this.
It's really heartbreaking, but hopefully Maidy is enjoying his new adventure, wherever he may be.
i like that isekai idea very much <3
And when we knew about he got cancer is when he appear in the middle of live stream of sisters who start playing xiv and Maidy was their helper :’)
i had no idea about this. such a bittersweet story. about to go watch the movie!
I played after watching Maidy's movie,
I bought FFXIV enter world same as Maidy's hoping encounter him,
I keep staying on gungnir encounter good friend even with small group and even playing solo was fun enough for me,
One reason im playing FFXIV's content as whole to guide Sprout to Understand the game, i might not guide all Sprout but it was fun to seeing Sprout Journey from they learning the game and Enjoy em as whole.
I was blessed with meeting Maidy in game once and he took a picture with me, that I will treasure. I was also able to meet his father and some members of Giovinezza. I'll never forget his kindness to me and his love for the game he shared with everyone he could.
マイディーさんは、いつまでも忘れられない。私は彼の魂のために祈り続けます。彼がゆっくり休めますように。
watching the series now thanks 👍😊,This has to be shared and known for many FFXIV players (specially the famous streamers😉) because it's so wholesome ❤️ and you need to be recognized friend 👍
I really didn't feel like crying right now. Damn you
RIP Maidy
I did not know of Maidy, but no one should ever have to suffer from cancer. It's a fate worse than death. But seeing what everyone is saying, I too want believe he went to the realm of FinalFantasy14. Forge ahead.
I have been playing 14 off and on since the beta of ARR, and somehow I had literally never heard of Maidy until yesterday. But just hearing the first bit of this story is already so touching and knowing that he managed to touch the game in such a fundamental way and hearing the story of his dad got me right in the heart. How have I never heard about any of this before now?
Maidy is my reason to keep me playing FFXIV, he motivated me to not quit the game… I was about want to quit FFXIV, but after watching Dad of Light TV series on Netflix it changed my mind.
I loved “Dad of Light” so much! ❤😭
Watching Dad of Light and then learning how the sequal is even sadder is too much.
Dad of Light was a fantastic show and its so touching how this story reached so many ppl. But its not only Maidy who passed away. Also the actor of the dad in the series passed away some years ago :C
Thank you for this beautiful video. I had never heard of any of this before, but it's definitely a story worth telling and I'm sharing it in my FC's Discord as well. <3
I can definitely now see why Yoshi-P was so openly heartbroken when Sokken got cancer as well, and where the inspiration for Sage probably came from, which makes me appreciate the job that much more. 🙂
Oh man… ive never heard of maidy before, but this made me tear up what a Great story of his love and life with FFXIV.
Knowing yoship lost a friend to cancer puts his reaction to soken revealing his cancer on stage into a new, even more painful light…
Thank you Maidy…
