But your character’s name is not a direct identification to your person. I don’t think it falls under this.

it doesn't have to be.

1.1 (in legal or formal contexts) an unspecified individual

It can be anything that seperates them as an individual.
it can be via there name. an id. location data OR an online identifier. if that information can be tracked to an Individual indentifer it is personal data.

Your Character for example can be identified as an individual person or player. while people may not know your real name or address or anything like that. your character is still an online indentifier and can be indentified as a person. not a group of people but an individual person. and that makes any data pertaining to your online identifier. personal data.

But if that would count as personal data, things like lodestone would be completly illegal and your character name had to be censored for everyone besides you to protect your private data.

The Lodestone is directly connected to the game and thus you consent to it having that data when you accept the terms and conditions for the game

you can however go into your lodestone and choose what data you wish to share. you can hide your achievements your friends, your minion collection and various other things.

But you can't hide everything including your name, which would also fall under private datas IF logs would. It also doesn't matter if you accept the terms of the game because these terms are outruled by the law.

As per that definition you linked, LEGALLY and FORMALLY, no, it cannot. Your character is not a real person, offers absolutely no legal or formal identifier of your real person, and its name is 100% public knowledge. It is not protected under any sort of privacy act like an individual's real information would be.

You're reaching with this.

you can however go into your lodestone and choose what data you wish to share. you can hide your achievements your friends, your minion collection and various other things.

But you cannot hide your character name, the "identifier" you are arguing. So this point is irrelevant. And, as far as I'm aware, only friends lists and achievements can be private. Mounts/minions are always public - I've never seen anyone hide them and I do not recall ever seeing an option to do so.
