I don't think GDPR applies in this circumstance.

Firstly because it is reference to an identifiable natural person, and whilst I am a person, nothing about my logs, or anything would attach the data to me as a 'natural person'. From Square Enix' perspective this may be true in that they hold information that would directly tie my character/account to identifiable details, but nothing about my logs does this.

Equally in the case as with GDPR it is not strictly about the data itself but how that data is processed as to whether it would violate GDPR.

It isn't that they are too small for anyone to care, because they absolutely would, it's just the fact that it's not really clear cut
