Please add something to FFXIV that disables 3rd party software interactions.

I'm sorry, but you're misinformed. None of those logs contain anything but combat data of the player and party members. It's not hard to decipher the symbols you don't personally understand, since those are referred to as 'Calls'. Abrievated terms and language for quick and easy navigation for the software.

As for deciphering it, it takes a few seconds with a simple plugin to Notepad++. It's just language code, not hard to figure out.

But, as I had my friend check, you cannot access these logs on PS4, the console doesn't let you delve that deep into the file system, for them to know this. PC users though, can freely and easily check the logs, even without parsing software.

No, like... hang on a second let me get a screenshot...

This is what I'm looking at. Unless we're looking at a different log file here?

As a side note, it may be easy for you to figure out, but this is something I have zero experience with. It's basically a foreign language to me lmao. I was being a bit flippant by saying it was just tossed in for flavor. I'm aware it serves a purpose that I don't understand :P

Edit: Looking through the rest of the log files, it's more of the same. Lots of combat info yes, but also dialogue, exp gains, etc. Either I'm looking in the wrong place, or the logs have more than just combat info in them. This kinda feels like it's veering off topic though, so I'm just gonna slide on out.
