The fact that Squeenix even made that announcement, even trough it doesn't state anything new, is a sign on how serious they are about removing the Grey Area of what "is suppoest to be allowed".

In case it hasnt been made clear enough already: Every Program or File that interacts with the Game, its Files or Data in a direct way trough a second Party (which is You) IS a 3rd Party Tool.

In case WAR mains come up with the Question on if Discord is a 3rd Party Tool, it is not. Discord does not interact with the Game at all and runs as a seperate Program, therefore, Squeenix cant ban you for using it.

It's not that difficult guys. Not sure why we still feel the need to be confused about this. They MIGHT not ban you or warn you for something, but that doesn't mean that it isn't against the ToS and you're not "allowed" to.

Anything that you use/install that interacts with the game in any way is considered a 3rd party tool and is against the rules. Period. Just don't be dumb, there are only a few ways that they can find out that you're using stuff (right now).

They don't see to necessarily care about parsers or visual mods (except for nudity mods). But they're still against the rules.

If you're using something that displays information that isn't normally displayed by the UI or makes stuff "easier", that's definitely against the rules.
