Collaboration Request with Square-Enix

[SilvertearRen]

To whomever this may concern at Square-Enix:

I do not have any direct contacts with Square Enix to put this request through to get a proper response, so I am posting here in the hopes that someone will directly contact me about it.

I have developed an interesting content plan for FFXIV, and would like to request Square Enix's collaborative assistance in the matter. I will be creating the content myself.

Subjects involved with the content are as follows:

• Lore/Canon of FFXIV (Lore collaboration request)
• Video Trailer of FFXIV (Audio collaboration request)

What I intend to do, is release a piece of content each week when the work is completed, until the trailer I am in the process of creating, is released. There will be five pieces of content. I estimate by current timetables, that these releases will begin after Patch 1.20.

The important part about the need for collaboration is so the content can avoid any lore conflicts or issues.

I do not want to get into specifics here on the forums, for fear of spoiling it.

If interested, please contact me directly via DeviantArt, if possible, at nkato.deviantart.com - a dA account will be required to send Notes to me. Email addresses can then be exchanged, and proper correspondence can begin in earnest.

At the end of this message is a list of references to works I have created, so you can properly gauge my skills. This is something I am doing of my own will, because I do want to see Final Fantasy XIV succeed.

Thank you for your time.

Regards,
Feral Ren

P.S. If any forum members here have a direct e-mail contact for Square-Enix's community representatives or other contacts that I can use, sharing that with me via the aforementioned messaging method would be greatly appreciated.

P.P.S. If anyone wants to translate this message into fluent Japanese for me in order to better convey my goals to Square Enix, they are welcome to do so. In fact, I would appreciate it, as well.

nope...nope nope nope nope

[Rinsui]

...good luck.

...especially since your sign states that you do not agree with how SE handles its payment options. Shall we translate that into Japanese as well?

Your best bet if your actually serious would be to contact them through ordinary means. Call SE's NA branch and start asking who you would talk to about such things.

While it will doubtfully go anywhere due to legal issues among other things it would be the fastest way to get a definative answer.

I understand what you're proposing with this thread, and I haven't look at anything you've done so my comment isn't based on that... but you have the internet, and you can't find a more direct means to contact Square Enix besides a Final Fantasy forum? For shame...

Yeah, no. Posting in a forum is obliusly the most efficent way to get a job.
Also, SE don't care of any plan you have, until you can go in japan and sit around the table where they brainstorm

Not interested in a job. I'm more or less asking for help from the Community Representatives, since they are likely to have access to one of the two things I need - the second thing isn't as important. I want to make sure the lore I write in my stories are as accurate as possible.

I'm going to assume that was sarcasm. The payment system is its own can of worms. Quite frankly, my statements on that issue have been very passionate, which should be an indicative of how much I care for XIV.

Being Deaf, it's going to be difficult for me to call them, and there are no direct means of contact outside of phone numbers or snail mail - and snail mail isn't exactly the best of options right now.

And on the legal question, there's nothing really stopping Square from helping me out with this project - all I really need is their help making sure the lore is accurate in the stories I'm doing.
