[Usage Guidelines and Restrictions]
If you are streaming scenes that form major plot points in the Game’s story, please make sure to display a “spoiler alert” notice to prevent ruining the experience for people who have not played that scene yet.
The below-listed uses of Content are forbidden. Any Content of this nature may, under the discretion of Square Enix, be deleted or charged with usage fees using the platform’s revenue system. Examples of forbidden Content:

> Content posted or streamed with the main aim of listening to Game music
Content posted or streamed with the main aim of listening to Game music include those that allow continuous listening to music data of the Game through actions not in line with regular gameplay, such as showing a still image background, making the player character stand still, encouraging viewers to listen to the music by adjusting the volume of voices and sound effects or continuously repeating a simple action.
You are responsible for following these Guidelines when livestreaming and/or posting Content that incorporates the Game Materials.
Please do not combine the Game Materials with other content originating outside of the Game.
