Each entrant must agree to the Free Company Contest Rules applicable to their own region.

My FC is international Free Company, Australian and Japanese can we still participate in the Contest?

EXCELLENT!!!

Thanks for the response!

Time to get to work!

I also take it, if we produce our own Music, we CANNOT use it over the FFXIV clips?

I'm assuming that the song "Answers" is not acceptable, however. :)

Why wouldn't it? Doesn't that belong to Square Enix, and part of FFXIV? And it's still used in ARR.

They say in their ToA that the song cannot be used.

Guidelines for Music and Sounds
You may only use music as it is incorporated in FFXIV;
When showing gameplay, you may not replace the FFXIV music with third party music;
You may not play FFXIV music alone (i.e., without accompanying gameplay footage), or with third party materials;
You may not use the song track entitled "Answers."

I would like to know this too

Does this mean ALL third party music is unacceptable? We must use music that can be found within the game?

Do we have to use youtube? That's what stopping my FC from participating. None of the members want a Google+ account and you are required to have one with youtube in order to use it since they very recently changed how youtube works. So since none of us have Google+ and we don't want it, then none of us can post a video to youtube. Can we use better alternatives to upload the video or is this contest google+ users only?

It would be really helpful if a Community Rep could chime in on this.

Also, are we allowed to have video transitions or do cropping? or is that considered modifying the footage?

Everyone trying not to get auto disqualified... Reps not chiming in :(

Can we use First party music that we created over gameplay footage?

Can we use text overlays OR video transitions (fades, cut ins, all those funky ones from high school video club that you thought looked cool when you were 14)?

Reps, please~
