Roleplay Party Finder Account Suspensions

[DPZ2]

Here is what you don't understand. FFXIV's rating supercedes your personal 18+ rating.

The ESRB rating is Teen. The description associated with that rating, as described on the ESRB site itself includes:

Blood
Language
Sexual Themes
Use of Alcohol
Violence

The game is not rated E10+ or E, which are the appropriate ratings for Children.

The Japanese rating is "Cero C", which is 15+.

The general European rating is "PEGI 16", which is 16+.

"Please note that Square Enix may issue a penalty at its discretion even if a report has not been filed but the act was found being conducted in public areas such as Say and Shout, search comments, Party Finder, on online video/streaming services, if the behavior is found to violate real world laws, or if it may be considered a problem based on the game's entertainment board ratings."

People like to say well ESRB doesn't cover online interactions, that is to a certain extent, like chat rooms. But performing acts using FFXIV assets like your character and content such as screenshots and streaming is still under SE's copyright and purview with ratings and local laws.

How is an "18+" in a Party Finder announcement "performing acts using FFXIV assets"? It takes a pretty interesting mindset to equate the two, since the game only allows chat for interpersonal interactions.
