Square Enix Co., Ltd. ("Square Enix”) is pleased to receive requests from everyone interested in sharing videos and images of our games online, but we ask that you be mindful of a few things, as set out in these guidelines (the "Guidelines”).

Square Enix permits you to post online and otherwise use certain content from FINAL FANTASY XVI (the "Game”) subject to these Guidelines.

[Game Materials]

The “Materials” consist of the following content from the Game:

• Gameplay footage, still images, characters, and music from the Game;
• Text and information from the Game; and
• Text, information, images, and video footage published on the Game’s official website

NOTE: The theme song of the Game 'Tsuki Wo Miteita - Moongazing' may be used in gameplay footage, but Square Enix, the copyright holder, or other third party may choose to monetize such content.

[Permitted Uses]

You may post the Materials online for the following permitted personal uses (the "Permitted Uses”) only:

• Posting in-game images on your blog(s) or microblog(s), such as Twitter
• Sharing gameplay videos on video sharing sites (such as YouTube and Twitch)

[Usage Guidelines and Restrictions]

• You are responsible for following these Guidelines when livestreaming and/or posting content that incorporates the Materials.
• You may not use the Materials for any sales or commercial use, meaning you cannot receive license fees or advertising revenue, except as part of the partner programs operated by YouTube, Twitch, or similar programs. If the operator of a partner program seeks to confirm our policy, please point them to this page as we do not have the resources to respond to all requests. As an exception, this restriction against commercial use will not be enforced against influencers for earning revenue or wages from corporate entities through the streaming of gameplay.
• You may not use the Materials to promote anything, including other products or services.
• Posting audio tracks and/or music data as standalone content, and/or posting video content with the sole intention of providing access to the Game’s music, is not permitted. Content playing music over a still image will be considered to fall under this restriction. Shared content that has been judged to exist to share the Game’s music may be deleted or monetised by the copyright holder.
• Posting or streaming only (or primarily) movie scenes, cutscenes, and similar Materials as standalone content, and/or posting video content with the sole (or primary) intention of providing the Game’s movie scenes and cutscenes for viewing, is not permitted.
• You must comply with the applicable platform’s terms of use.
• You may not use the Materials in any content that is or could appear to be offensive, racist, sexist, homophobic, sexually explicit, hateful, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, controversial, or otherwise inappropriate or illegal (including any use on or in connection with any piracy sites), or in any content that promotes any of the foregoing.
• You may not share Materials on a site or service which i) requires payment to access or use, ii) is limited to viewers 18 years and older, iii) goes against public order and standards of decency, and/or iv) is affiliated with religious / political / antisocial activities.
• You must immediately comply with any request from Square Enix to remove Materials from any shared content, website, or service, regardless of whether Square Enix provides a reason for the request or not. Square Enix reserves the right to require removal of any content incorporating the Materials that it deems to be inappropriate in its sole discretion. Square Enix may submit takedown requests to third parties for any Materials at Square Enix’s sole discretion.
• When uploading to video sharing sites, you may receive a warning that it infringes on copyrights due to the music data it contains. If you believe the video does not violate the Guidelines, please file an objection with the site.
