so yeah pretty much anything i say in the chat log is personal data. just the same as any post i make on facebook is personal data... anyhting that can be referenced to an identifiable individual is considered personal data.

so technically fflogs is in breach of GDPR as its using identifiable information without consent. and thus should be anonymised for anyone who has not Opted-In
Sorry to disappoint you, but Dzian Cielo isn't an online identifier. It's actually an application of pseudonymisation, meaning the game and all interactions with you inside the game are made solely through that pseudonym and nothing ingame links that pseudonym to your real life identity. That's even why any non-direct messaging is done through Mogmail instead of going to your email account associated with your SE account. All emails regarding the game are handled exclusively by SE and there's no way ingame to discern that email account bar you personally telling someone the address.

So no, parsing your portion of the shared battle logs isn't a violation of GDPR because there's no way to connect that information to your real life identity. GDPR would only be relevant to your online identity as an XIV player, if someone besides SE staff could link it to your real life identity.
