JRPG Dads for Father's Day

[Illuminary]

ffxv's story was so sad and hopeless in a way
it felt like noctis had so little agency in his life and was trying his best to just keep his head above water

Which is why I respect Regis. He gave Noctis all the time he could to lead a normal-ish life until… passing the ring.

Dad Nier. Went to hell and back for his daughter and is a DILF

 

[_Lorenzo_]

Great idea — for having especially loved such a widely disliked game like The Legend of Dragoon, I’d also add Zieg to this list of JRPG dads, as Rose’s eternal love...

In Final Fantasy 4: The After Years, both Cecil and Yang are fathers. I've had chances to play this game, since it's included in the PSP version of FF4. However, everything I know about it is from Axe of the Blood God's podcast discussion.
