Hirotaro Inaba

Hirotaro Inaba is the deuteragonist in Final Fantasy XIV Dad of Light. He is the father of Akio Inaba, who uses the game Final Fantasy XIV to reconnect with his father.
==History==
===Eventful bonding===
One day, Hirotaro took his son, Akio, to buy a game. This caught Akio off guard, as no matter how much he previously begged, it never happened. Akio chose Final Fantasy III, which Hirotaro mistakenly pronounced "Final Fantasia". After a while of playing, Akio caught his father also playing the game, and even coached the latter on the controls. The two bonded over the game, and the experience became a fond memory for both of them. The bond was short-lived when Hirotaro threw himself even further into his work. Both father and son grew apart and barely spoke.
===A Relationship Reborn===
By the age of 60, Hirotaro abruptly quit his job without explaining anyone, even his own family. As a retirement present, Akio bought his father a PlayStation and a physical copy of Final Fantasy XIV. After setting his avatar, Indy Jones, Akio left his father to his own devices.
After wandering in the forest outside of town, Indy ended up biting more than he could chew when he encountered a Treant Sapling. An avatar named "Maidy" came to the rescue. When asked if he was alright, all Indy can do is run in circles.
Later, Hirotaro relaid how he could not communicate to his mysterious savior to his son, who compensated by giving him a keyboard to use.
